The brakes in my car failed to work, leaving me swirling around on the highway. Yes it is available for inspection. I was a car accident that left me with a concussion and minor injuries. No the car is now totaled. The vehicle did receive an appraisal inspection. No they were absolutely no warnings or anything that made me feel I shouldn’t have been driving my car. I kept up on the maintenance well with the help of my warranty company. I did notice in the last few weeks of driving my car though that my check engine light was on.

THIS CAR IS LITERALLY FAILING EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS 9 MONTHS. THE AXEL'S HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING HAD TO BE FIXED JUST IN DAYS OF THE LAST REPAIR AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT REPAIR WAS AN OXYGEN SENSOR (EMISSIONS) THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH STRUTS PROBLEM LESS THAN 90 DAYS. THE WHEELS HAD NOISE THEN NOW WHEEL AXEL'S PROBLEMS SAME AS THE STRUTS FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT. THIS JUKE IS A LEMON AND I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER FROM THE FIRST REPAIR THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS JUKE 2016. MANY CASE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE FOR MAJOR REPAIRS. UNFORTUNATELY THE MANUFACTURER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT OWN VEHICLE. SHAME ON YOU NISSAN NOT WORRIED IF YOUR CARS ARE NOT SAFE.
