Yes transmission problems loud is loud whistling noise overheating of the transmission at long periods of driving have not taken it to the dealership to get checked did read up online that in that there are problems with the transmission in this year of car is this year of cars and also making model of the 2014 Nissan Duke CVT transmission
I DRIVE A LOT. I NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING ON HOT DAYS 80+ ON LONG DRIVES 1 HOUR+ ON THE INTERSTATE, MY CARS POWER AND RPMS BASICALLY SHUT DOWN. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES STARTING AROUND 50K MILES. THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND PUT THE CAR INTO A SAFETY MODE. THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THAT WOULD BE, NISSAN FAILING TO PROPER EQUIP THE COOLANT SYSTEM ON THE TRANSMISSION. THIS FAILURE IN SAFELY MANUFACTURING THE TRANSMISSION TO RUN PROPERLY HAS REQUIRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR ME TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE, TURN MY CAR OFF, AND WAIT 20 MINUTES OR MORE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO COOL DOWN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON LONG DRIVES ON HOT DAYS WHERE MY PERSONAL SAFETY IS HIGHER RISKED.
TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD AS GOES UP HILL
TRANMISSION SLOW TO TAKE OFF SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TURNING IN TRAFFIC. ALSO FAILS COMPLETELY QUITE OFTEN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIA NISSAN OF SARATOGA (2906 U.S. 9, MALTA, NY 12020, (518) 633-11330), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
I LIVE IN ARIZONA; IT IS END OF APRIL AND YESTERDAY TEMPERATURES WERE 99-100 DEGREES. COMING BACK FROM PHOENIX ON HIGHWAY GOING 75MPH, RPM WAS AT 4000; ENGINE REVVING HIGH AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN- VERY LOUD AND NOISY. UPON GOING UP HILL, CAR STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN, FIRST TO 40 MPH, THEN TO 25MPH. AT THIS POINT I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW TO 20 MPH. ALL OF THIS WHILE MY FOOT WAS PRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR OF THE GAS PEDAL! ABSOLUTELY NO POWER! SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT KEPT ENGINE RUNNING. ONCE I STARTED ON THE ROAD AGAIN, TRANY SEEMED TO "KICK IN" AND I WAS ABLE TO GO 40 MPH IN A MATTER OF MINUTES WITH REGULAR RPM AND NO NOISE. I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION 3 MILES AHEAD AND LET THE VEHICLE REST FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS 7 MONTHS PRIOR IN THE HOTTER MONTH OF SEPTEMBER IN ARIZONA WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH WELL INTO 110. SAME SCENERIO OF TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE- 75-80 MILES, PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO 75MPH ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND LOSING POWER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I WAS ON BUSY FREEWAY, LOTS OF TRAFFIC, AND SUDDENLY NO POWER WITH VEHICLE DECELERATING TO 60, THEN 50MPH WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. PROBLEM RESOLVED WHEN I GOT OFF FREEWAY AND LET THE CAR REST. BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT. YESTERDAY WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CAME HOME I GOOGLED MY SCENERIO AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG NISSAN OWNERS WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL OR BULLETIN ON THIS WITH A FIX??
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SMELL WAS INTERFERING WITH HER PERSONAL HEALTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GASTONIA NISSAN (2275 E FRANKLIN BLVD, GASTONIA, NC 28054, (855) 274-8641) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT A FAILURE WAS NOT DETECTED WITHIN THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.
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 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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE IDLED AT A HIGH RATE BETWEEN GEARS ONE AND TWO.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
