THE CAR KEEPS SHAKING. MY MECHANIC DID SAY THAT NISSAN JUKES HAVE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THEY DID THINGS TO MY CAR TO TRY TO FIX IT BUT I STILL FIND IT SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS IN MY LETTER THAT WAS NOT SENT TO NISSAN YET BUT EVERY OCCURRENCE IS LISTED AND FILED WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS YOU WILL SEE THE CASE NUMBERS. THIS IS ALSO MY REPORT TO YOU. IF MORE INFORMATION IS NEEDED I WILL SUPPLY IT
2016 NISSAN JUKE SL AWD AUG 2017, I TRADED-IN A 2011 NISSAN JUKE SL FOR A NEW 2016 JUKE SL 1. TRANSMISSION CATCHES: 2016 JUKE HAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH PREVENTS THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH RESULTS IN DRIVER/PASSENGERS IN CAR THAT WON'T MOVE. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO 'CATCH'. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED FOUR DAYS AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE OVER VOICEMAIL BUT THEN CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T AFTER REQUESTING THE CAR BE BOUGHT BACK. 2. EXHAUST INSIDE CAR: EXHAUST FUMES PERMEATE INSIDE THE CAR WHENEVER THE AC/HEAT/DEFROST ARE ON MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BE IN THE CAR WITHOUT THE WINDOWS DOWN NO MATTER HOW HOT OR COLD IT IS OUTSIDE. THE SMELL IS SO OVERWHELMING THAT IS CAUSES NAUSEA, SLEEPINESS AND HEADACHE. NISSAN'S RESPONSE, "YOU WILL SMELL SOME ANTIFREEZE/EXHAUST WHEN YOU'RE IN THE CAR". 3. ELECTRICAL ISSUE: THE NAVIGATION/STEREO/CONSOLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF - WHILE DRIVING - WHICH HAS ALSO CAUSED THE VOLUME KNOB TO BE INOPERABLE. I EMAILED ANDREW TAVI, TODD WOODS AND MARK SWENSON REQUESTING THEY INTERVENE TO BUY THE CAR BACK, BUT THEY HAVE TURNED THE MATTER BACK OVER TO NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE WHO I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO LAST FALL (2017); THIS IS THE SAME NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE WHO DIDN'T ASK TO LISTEN TO THE VOICEMAIL FROM THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGING BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR THE MULTIPLE VIDEO'S I MADE SHOWING THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IF YOU GOOGLE, "JUKE REVVING NO ACCELERATION" YOU WILL FIND MULTIPLE POSTS AND VIDEOS FROM PEOPLE IN THE US AND EUROPE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR NISSAN'S AND ASIDE FROM THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE ITSELF THE SECONDARY COMMON FACTOR IS THAT THEY ALL, LIKE MY JUKE, REPORT THAT THEIR CAR DOES NOT 'THROW A CODE". *PLEASE* INVESTIGATE FOR SAFETY.
THE JUKE HAS HAD INTERMITTENT STALLING AND NO START ISSUES. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS PARKED AT IDLE. ONCE IT STALLS, IT WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE, DESPITE HAVING TO PAY FOR TOWING SEVERAL TIMES. THE LOCAL ABC AFFILIATE HAS DONE AT LEAST TWO REPORTS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNER EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ELUDING TO A HEAT RELATED ISSUE. IF THAT IS TRUE, THE TEMPERATURE IS COOLING OFF HERE IN THE DESERT I'M AFRAID I WILL NOT SEE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL SPRING AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO REPURCHASE THE CAR TO THIS POINT. WITHOUT MY AGREEMENT, THEY HAVE OPENED AN ARBITRATION CASE OFFERING ME $1500 "FOR MY INCONVENIENCE". THE CAR HAS LOST MORE IN TRADE-IN VALUE THAN WHAT THEY'VE OFFERED..GOING THROUGH MINIMAL CARFAX REPORTS ON JUKES, I'VE FOUND A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF JUKES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. .*BF. *TR *DT *JB *DT*JB
MY AIR CONDITIONING RECENTLY WENT OUT. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE A ROCK HAD COME UP THROUGH THE ENGINE AND POKED A HOLE IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR. EVIDENTLY, IT DID THIS WITHOUT EFFECTING THE RADIATOR OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE ENGINE. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THE SKID PLATE WOULD KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING, OR THE OIL PAN. IF PART OF THE ENGINE CAN BE RUINED BY A ROCK FLYING INTO THE ENGINE ON A CITY STREET- HOW IS THIS A CROSS OVER VEHICLE? (DEFECTIVE OR FAULTY CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN AND OR MATERIAL). I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE "NISSAN IS ASKING FOR A VIDEO OF THE DAMAGE" AND WHEN THEY DO THAT "IT MEANS NO".
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.
