MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER NISSAN RECALL ID 277139 & ID227697 AND SHOULD BE DUE TO I HAVE OBD CODE OF P0087 & P0090 WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD FUEL LEAK LOW PRESSURE RAIL RACK AND I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF JUKES THAT ARE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH VIN NOT COVERED WHEN THEY SHOULD BE. WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOSS OF LIVES

RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR AND TOOK IT IN BECAUSE OF A CLICKING NOISE AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED AT 46 K MILES AND NOW AT 106K MILES GOING BAD AGAIN THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO REPLACE RECALLED ITEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING, THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED OFF INTO THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KELLY NISSAN OF WOBURN (95 CEDAR ST, WOBURN, MA 01801, (781) 835-3500) TO BE DIAGNOSED. ALSO, A CONSUMER ADVOCATE PLANNED TO INVESTIGATE ON BEHALF OF THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY WOULD COVER SOME OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I ARRIVED AT AN OUT OF TOWN DESTINATION TO FIND I HAD OIL COVERING THE MOTOR. MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS A 2" GASH IN THE FRONT COVER OF THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH WAS COMING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. MECHANIC FIXED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE ISSUE WAS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND WAS NOT CAUSED BY WEAR OR NEGLIGENCE.

PROBLEMS WITH CONSTANT BATTERY DRAINAGE. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS JUST PARKED AND NOTHING ON BATTERY DRAINS RANDOMLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM ALWAYS SCARED TO BE STRANDED AND EN UP CALLING AAA TO RESCUE ME. I HAVE CALLED AAA AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS JUST TO GET MY CAR GOING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS TO VARIOUS NISSAN DEALERSHIPD TO HAVE CHECKED AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS SO BEYOND FRUSTRATING!!

JUKE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING SPORADICALLY. ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY HOWEVER IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS HARD TO BE REPLICATED. TOOK CAR TO HAVE BATTERY CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY WHEN OFF. CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT LOVING NISSAN (1433 S MEDFORD DR., LUFKIN, TX 75901, (936) 634-4488) FOR AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. **TR CORRECT INFO: THE 2012 JUKE STARTED A TICKING SOUND WHEN RUNNING. HAD THE OIL CHANGED PER 3 MONTH TIME ON JULY 14TH, 0 TICKING FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN TICKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD AGAIN. SCHEDULED SERVICE APPT FOR 8/31/18. THE SERVICE DEPT SAID NEEDED TIME CHAIN REPLACED. WENT BACK, NOTED TIMING CHAIN REPLACED PER RECALL ON 4/6/15 @MILEAGE 6/05. 8/3/18 MILEAGE 111830- TIMING CHAIN ONLY LASTED 50,779 MILES COUNT. THE PART ONLY LAST 50,779 MILES @ DOCUMENTATION, BUT HAS BEEN TICKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I HAVE SPOKEN AND NIACIN NORTH AMERICA, THEY ONLY WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES ON REPLACED PARTS. THIS JUKE WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. ALSO, I HAD THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO LAST MORE THAN 50,000 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS FROM WHERE WE DID HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THAT WAS ALSO A QUESTION- THE DEALERSHIP SAID MUST HAVE NOT CHANGED OIL- SO THAT'S WHY TIMING CHAIN FAILED SO SOON, I WAS TOLD IF THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPS- THE CARDIAC WHILE DRIVING!! UPDATED 11/8/18*JB

THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ON MY JUKE HAS GONE BAD AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. SOOOO MANY OTHER JUKES HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL AND THEY WON'T FIX MY PROBLEM. THEY WON'T IS DIAGNOS THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY THEM $140 TO SCAN MY JUKE. MY GAS MILEAGE SUCKS AND I SMELL GAS IN THE CAB OCASSIONALLY. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND GOT A EMAIL BACK TELLING ME MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW IS THE PROBLEM. I'M REALLY SURPRISED NISSAN ISN'T MORE CONCERNED WITH THIS. I REMEMBER FIRESTORM AND FORD AND A LOT OF LAWSUITS AND DEATHS.
