2012 Nissan Juke

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel. There was an abnormal odor of fuel detected. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor needed to be tightened and the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed him that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Recently a strong gas smell in cabin after starting engine for the third time. After noticing the smell of gasoline a faulty fuel pressure sensor was serviced 12/2/2015. No charge at Puente Hills Nissan. Smell of gasoline again. $782.56 paid to Cerritos Nissan on 1/25/19. Although 2012 Nissan Jukes had a factory recall due to gasoline smell, I was told that my VIN number was not included.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in a parking lot overnight, the next day she noticed the air bag had deployed.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, a popping noise was heard coming from the front of the vehicle before the vehicle would no longer accelerate and began to decelerate. After stopping to inspect the vehicle, it was discovered that engine oil had leaked from the engine. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the timing chain had failed causing damage to the engine and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage 146,000.

Timing Chain: National Consumers reported my vehicle replaced the timing chain in 2018 prior to my ownership. Now it has failed again to the tune of $3K at 88K miles. The Nissan Dealership will only guarantee warranty for 1yr or 12k miles which seems sub par. How can a voluntary recall on the timing chain only be effective up to 2014 when obviously it seems to be a problem with the whole engine design. I will not drop $3k every 3-4 years to replace a part that should last longer than a belt or at the minimum of 120k miles if not the life of the car. I’m asking the National Consumers hotline to open another recall on this lemon. The additional issues are the car not starting, after replacing 2 good batteries within 2 years, an independent mechanic replace a relay between the brake and the ignition and it has worked ever since. Crossing my fingers… Also notable is the rinki-dink hood latch that quivers at high speeds. I often wonder when my hood will fly up into my windshield.
