ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18TH MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE STARTED DECLINING IN SPEED, WHICH LEFT HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP THINKING THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT. COLLISION REPAIR SHOP PUTS IT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS CURRENTLY ON MY CAR, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY BE THE REASON FOR MY CAR STALLING. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. WAITING ON DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT TO LET ME KNOW THE EXTENT OF REPAIRS NEEDED AND COST. THEY'VE OFFERED TO GET ME INTO ANOTHER CAR, BUT I WOULDN'T GET MUCH FOR MY CURRENT CAR AND WOULD BE UPSIDE DOWN ON MY CAR NOTE. *TR

THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAY BE SOMETHING TYPICAL OF NISSAN VEHICLES. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO GLIDE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER, WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT TO WARN OTHERS AND ALSO DETERMINE HOW MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED VEHICLE WITH ONLY 68,000 MILES AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS AND 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING (HIGHWAY MILES). *TR

DRIVE AT 30-35 MPH WHEN MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO PULL OVER AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE TIMING BELT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR NEARLY 3 WEEKS AND MY CAR STILL IS NOT FIXED EVEN WITH THE ENGINE BEING REPLACED IN MY CAR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

MY CAR HAS ENGINE FAILURE AT 2 YEARS OLD AND 72K MILES. I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN AT THE FATE AND MILEAGE LISTED ABOVE FOR A RATTLE IN THE ENGINE AREA. WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW DRIVE BELT AND TENSIONER. THIS WAS A MISDIAGNOSIS. THE RATTLE GETS WORSE, DRIVE PERFORMANCE DECLINES, RAKE THE CAR BACK TO NISSAN ON 8/27. COMPRESSION TEST REVEALS TWO CYLINDERS AT OR BELOW MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY OWN RESEARCH HAS REVEALS SEVERAL CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN IN THE 2011 JUKE. MANY FOLKS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ARE REPORTING THAT AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS ME, THEIR CAR STARTS TO RATTLE AND WHEN THEY TAKE IT IN, THEY ARE TOLD THEY NEED A NEW ENGINE. MOST POINT TO THE TIMING CHAIN. MY SERVICE GUY WAS RELUCTANT TO BLAME THE TIMING CHAIN AND WOULD SAY ONLY THAT "SLUDGE" WAS PROBABLY THE CULPRIT. IT ISN'T. I REALLY HOPE THIS ISSUE IS BEING MONITORED. IT SEEMS MANY PEOPLE ARE HOPING FOR A RECALL SOON. *TT

ON JANUARY 18TH, DEALER COMPLETED RECALL NOTICE REPAIR OF FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP FROM DEALER THAT WEEKEND, ONLY WENT 2 1/2 MILES AND VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES. ENGINE GETTING FUEL, HOWEVER NO POWER TO TRANSMISSION, STEERING, BRAKES. DEALER STATES ITS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED BATTERY. APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES LATER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ELECTRICAL FAILURES. STARTING WITH POWER, THEN RADIO, LIGHTS, FANS AND SHIFTING, AND EVENTUALLY TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TOWED TO DEALER AGAIN. *TR

AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE APPROACHING RED LIGHT, MY CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF. IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO TURN ON HAZARDS OR SIGNAL ANY APPROACHING CARS SO THE CAR CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO HIT INTO THE BACK OF MY BUMPER. THE HIT CAUSED SOMETHING TO FALL OFF THE TOP OF THEIR CAR AND MAKE A SMALL CRACK ONTO MY DRIVER TAIL LIGHT. THE CAR STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS METER READ THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM NOT READING CORRECTLY, WHICH I HAD MY CAR TAKEN INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN JULY, WHERE THEY SPENT 3 HOURS "CORRECTING" THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY AS HAVING NO GAS IN THE CAR (EVEN THOUGH THE METER SAID I HAD GAS) CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, WHICH IN TURN CAUSED MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF TO BECOME INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. *TR
