2011 Nissan Juke Powertrain (other) Problems

My 2011 nissan juke has approximately 118,000 miles and I've ran out of gas several times even when it said there was 88 miles left in the tank and the traction control light won't go off it stays on constantly along with the check engine light and tire pressure warning light and its making a squealing noise and its losing power I've only had it a year I know they have been recalled for certain reasons but I'm not sure if this car has been fixed or not i can't afford to get it fixed due to health and medical bills including hospital bills from when my wife passed away I'm finding several issues people have had with the jukes why isnt nissan extending the recalls because for people who buy them from private people dont know if the car has been recalled or fixed its very unsafe I've lost power while driving at 45 miles an hour because it ran out of gas even when it displayed 88 miles left my car needs fixed and its expensive I had to replace the ball joint and was told it was going to be almost 700$ or it wouldn't pass inspection this car has turned into a money pit i can't even resell it i need help getting it fixed please

I bought this car LATE 2019, from a used dealership. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY BACK FROM A 1 1/2 HR DRIVE. AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING.! I WOULD PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PETAL AND NOTHING. FREEWAY WITH TRAFFIC. IT WAS SO SCARY! THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME! I MANAGED TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS LIGHTS ON AND PULLED OVER. THEN WAITED A WHILE, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AN SO ON UNTIL I MADE IT BACK HOME, MY 1 HOUR DRIVE TURN INTO 3HRS BECAUSE I KEPT PULLING OVER., UNTIL I GOT INTO THE NEAREST TOWN TO A AUTOZONE TO CHECK IT. BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON, THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE ME SOME CODES REGARDING THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ●POWER TRAIN SYSTEM. CVT. TORQUE CONVERTER. IM NOT TO SURE WHAT IS THAT. IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, AND I WAS TERRIFIED! ITS ALSO IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT JUST ONE MONTH AGO I PAYED AROUND $700 TO FIX THE SUSPENSION, AND CV JOINTS, NOT SURE THE NAME OF THE PROBLEM IT HAD. BUT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT KEPT EATING MY TIRES OUT.! I KEPT BUYING NEW AND USED TIRES, I EVEN TOOK IT TO GET IT ALIGNED. BUT IT KEPT EATING MY TIRES UP, THEN IN A TIRESHOP THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE IT SEEM THAT SOMETHING WAS VERY BAD. BECAUSE THE TIRES THEY WOULDN'T LAST, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT I WAS IN DANGER BECAUSE THE CV JOINTS (I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE SAID) WERE ALMOST ABOUT TO FALL OFF.! BECAUSE THEY WERE DAMAGED AND THATS WAS ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WITH THIS CAR. ●THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF, EVEN WHEN IT DOESN'T NEEDS AIR. ●AND THE TRACTION LIGHT TURNS ON LIKE IN A FLASHING WAY, AND THE CAR MOVES AND GETS OUT OF CONTROL SIDE TO SIDE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS POSSES OR SOMETHING IT DOES HIS OWN THING IT GET OUT OF MY CONTROL. I JUST STOPPED DRIVING FOR NOW. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT! WHAT CAN I DO?

Transmission has a problem with overheating on any trip longer than an hour, leading to the car going into limp mode and being unable to maintain speeds and/or climb any high % grade. This has happened to me multiple times, leading to an immediate loss of power and the need to pull over and park on mountain roads to avoid rolling backwards. This is a known issue on juke forums, and nissan themselves have code read countless cars with the CVT transmission being the issue.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shut-off with the service engine soon warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle twice to the dealer where she purchased the vehicle and both times the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. As the failure persisted, the vehicle was taken to Nissan of Hendersonville (1340 Spartanburg Hwy, Hendersonville, NC 28792) where they replaced the spark plugs and performed an oil change; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

WHEN DRIVING FOR 40 MINUTES OR MORE, GOING 60 MPH OR HIGHER, CAR WILL LOSE SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STOP. NO LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND NO WARNING. GAS PEDAL WILL HIT FLOOR BUT THERE WILL BE NO ACCELERATION. SEEMS LIKE TURNING OFF THE CAR FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE WILL REBOOT IT, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME PERIOD. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON HIGHWAYS, NOT ON SMALLER ROADS AS STATED PREVIOUSLY YOU MUST BE DRIVING FOR AT LEAST 40 MINUTES OR MORE GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH OR HIGHER. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WAS A BAD DRIVE SHIFT BUT UNKNOWN REASON AS TO WHAT CAUSED IT. NEVER HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS.

IT STALLS OUT IF 80 MPH IS REACHED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN UNLESS THE MOTOR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. NOW IT IS MORE FREQUENT AND AT ANY SPEED. PLUS THE GAS CONSUMPTION IS HALF WHAT IT USUALLY WOULD BE.

THE TIMING BELT ALONG WITH OTHER ASSOCIATED CRANKS AND PULLEYS, ARE DAMAGED. THE CAR HAS BEEN KEPT CURRENT WITH ALL MAINTENANCE AND OUT OF THE BLUE THE TIMING CHAIN MECHANISM BEGINS TO FAIL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ENGINE FAILURE LOOMING AROUND EVERY CORNER, AND THE REPAIR COSTS ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD LAST IS SKY HIGH. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND I NOTICED THE SOUND UPON START UP OF THE VEHICLE.

I BROUGHT MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE IN FOR THE THE RECENT FUEL SENSOR RECALL ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. IT APPEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH A BAD TIMING CHAIN. MY TIMING CHAIN ISSUE WAS APPARENTLY NOT PART OF THE 2011-2013 NISSIAN JUKE SERVICE CAMPAIGN DESPITE THIS BEING A 2011 NISSAN JUKE.

CAR MAKES INTERMITTENT POPPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING, EXPERIENCES HIGH RPM WITHOUT ACCELERATION. CURRENT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE - 61,255 MILES.

MY JUKE CAUGHT ON FIRE THIS MORNING! IT ONLY HAS 32,400 MILES ON IT AND I AM LEFT WITH NO CAR AND LITTLE INTEREST FROM NISSAN. I DID SMELL GAS BUT DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. MY SON IS ON DIALYSIS 3 DAYS A WEEK AND AT FIRST THE CORPORATION TOLD ME I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR THREE DAYS BUT BEFORE THE CALL CONCLUDED THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND TELLING ME IT WAS PENDING DECISION. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 JUKE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE DUE TO FUEL MAY LEAK FROM THE PRESSURE SENSOR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE, THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 JUKE, INFINITI QX AND INFINITI M VEHICLES. THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MAY LOOSEN DUE TO HEAT AND VIBRATION CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR WAS ONE THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED....SO, THEN WHY AM I LEFT WALKING IN THE SUBZERO TEMPERATURES? *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON A FUEL SENSOR AND GASKET(S) AND I HAD A RATTLING NOISE I ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO WHILE THEY HAD THE CAR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $2100. THE CAR HAS LOST HALF OF ITS VALUE IN LESS THEN 2 YEARS OF OWNING IT AND I DIDN'T EVEN BUY IT BRAND NEW (HAD LESS THE 7,000 MILES ON IT). I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH A MANAGER AT NISSANUSA WHO IS OFFERING TO HELP OUT WITH PAYING $400 OF THE BILL. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 JUKE AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. NISSAN HAS PAID FOR NEW ENGINES WHEN THE CHAIN BROKE, LEAVING PEOPLE STRANDED. THEY PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE (NOT THE LABOR) WITH A 1 YEAR /12,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT WILL NOT PUT OUT A RECALL ON THE TIMING CHAIN! I CALLED AND GOT AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR FROM A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED ME QUITE A BIT LESS THEN THE $2100 AND I ASKED IF NISSAN WAS WILLING TO GIVE THE $400 TOWARDS THE REPAIR AT THAT LOCATION AND THEY REFUSED. I NOW HAVE OIL SPEWING ALL OVER FROM A CRACKED TIMING CHAIN COVER. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AND I DO NOT HAVE $2100 PLUS THE COST OF A NEW COVER NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M UPSIDE DOWN BY $5,000. THIS TRULY IS THE WORST CAR EVER. *TR
