2014 NISSAN JUKE Complaints

VEHICLE ENGINE HAS DIED TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND START AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS OVER 100*.

MY NISSAN JUKE 2014 AWD VAPOR LOCKED IN HOT WEATHER. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO USE 91 OR HIGHER OCTANE GAS AND NOT TO FILL THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. THEY ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE CAR. THOUGH THE DEALER TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME THE EXPLANATION SEEMED STRANGE. THE CAR WAS SIMPLY TURNING OFF WHEN IDLING. IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE, BUT I AM NOW MORE FEARFUL DRIVING IT.

NISSAN JUKE OWNERS ARE REPORTING OVER THE INTERNET THAT THE CAR SUFFERS FROM A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER. TEMPS ARE IN THE 100S IN CA RIGHT NOW 06/20/17. I PURCHASED MY JUKE A WEEKS AGO. IT DROVE FINE WHEN I DID THE INITIAL 3 TEST DRIVES BEFORE BUYING IT. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I ACTUALLY DROVE THE CAR SOME RESPECTABLE MILES THAT I NOTICED THAT THIS CAR HAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS TRIGGERED WHEN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET: #1. DRIVING IN HOT TEMPS ON THE FWY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IF THE OPERATOR ROLLS THE WINDOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL REACT BY SHUTTERING WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN OR IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON. ONCE THIS IS TRIGGERED THE CAR MOVES AT A SNAILS PACE FOR THE REST OF THE TIME. #2 IF YOU TURN YOUR AC ON IN AUTO MODE IN HOT WEATHER ~100 C OR MORE FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR WHILE DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER IN AN UN-SAFE MANNER THAT COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE AC THAT THE CAR WILL SLOWLY START TO GAIN POWER PACK AFTER THE ISSUE IS TRIGGERED. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON AMONGST JUKE OWNERS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND TO BE HONEST NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE BY RECALLING THE NISSAN JUKE. IT APPEARS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND TO THE PEOPLE FROM NISSAN THAT I SPOKE WITH THE JUKE WAS SPECCED WITH THE WEAK BATTERY AND WEAK ALTERNATOR THAT ARE BOTH AFFECTED BY HEAT SOAK WHICH TRIGGERS THE CAR TO GO INTO SAFE MODE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING THE STOPPED. IT MADE A RIDDLE NOISE WHEN STARTED. OIL LEAKS BETWEEN THE ENGINE SEAL IS LEAKING. 2014 NISSAN JUKE WITH 83000 MILES IT'S NOT FAIR TO BURN MY MONEY LIKE THAT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 NISSAN JUKE IT WENT FROM 70 TO 20 ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY LARGE TRUCKS THAT WERE UNABLE TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS TIME, IT DROPPED IN SPEED AGAIN AND THE RPMS WENT OVER 6 BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUSH THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME FROM WORK DUE TO IMPENDING DEATH CONCERNS.

I HAD A HARD ON COLLISION TO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR TRAVELING AT WELL OVER 25MPH. MY BODY HIT THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD THAT MY STERNUM WAS CRACKED D OWN THE MIDDLE. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THEY SHOULD HAVE. IF NOT FOR THE SEAT BELT I WOULD BE DEAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AT NIGHT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATORS. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND LATER CONTACTED THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL TURN OFF WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY AND HAS PERSON OF REASONABLE WEIGHT IN IT. I WEIGH 115 POUNDS AND MY HUSBAND WEIGHS 200 POUNDS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT SAYS IT IS OFF WHEN EITHER ONE OF US ARE IN THE SEAT AT RANDOM TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I JUST DID NOT WEIGH ENOUGH AT 115 POUNDS FOR THE SENSOR TO WORK APPROPRIATELY.

GAUGE CLUSTER NOT DISPLAYING THE FLASHING ARROWS WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL STALK IS ENGAGED TO EITHER SIDE BUT THE LIGHTS OUTSIDE THE CAR IS STILL OPERATIONAL. ALSO, THE POWER LOCKS WILL DISENGAGED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, ON ANY SPEED. UPDATED 09/08/15*LJ UPDATED 10/27/2017*CN
