“Vehicle started jerking and the rpm gauge was moving up and down while in motion. I had to keep breaking and pushing the gas as it would accelerate on it's own. We took it to get scanned at auto zone, scan said it's the transmission pressure sensor. Other nissan vehicles have had this issue with their cvt transmission.”Owner report · Power Train · Mar 2020
“While driving on the interstate, the car slows down and will not accelerate. If I press the gas to get out of the way of on coming traffic the car skips and does not go over 40 mph. I try to get to the far lane in hope's of not being hit. I turn the car off and try to start it again and the engine light comes on, try again to start it and it slowly moves until it gains speed and I keep my hazards on, engine light goes off and it has been doing this periodically ever since.”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control · Sep 2019
“I have had two front end collisions with this vehicle and neither time did the air bag deploy. How can I trust my air bag? I failed to yield to an on coming vehicle and the two vehicles made contact at a speed of about five miles an hour. The trooper that invested the accident, listed that the speed as 35 mph. So, I'm not sure.”Owner report · Structure · Jul 2019
“When approaching an intersection to turn left, although I had my foot on the brake, the car wasn't slowing, speed was the same. When I began to turn the wheel, the steering wheel kept jerking right. It felt like something had locked up. The brakes continued to be ineffective and because the steering kept jerking to the right on a left turn, it rammed into the curb and caused injury to myself.”Owner report · Steering · Jul 2019
“Low side air conditioner line between condenser and compressor rubs against the plastic radiator holder causing cut-through and evacuation of freon while travelling.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2019
“While driving my 2015 nissan juke (70+ mph) on the highway the cvt style transmission started acting strange. It would rev up and bottom out causing the vehicle to jerk/lurch a lot. At just under 90,000 miles the transmission had to be replaced. That still didn't fix the problem completely. The the intake manifold had to be replaced. At 90,000 miles there was leakage under the vehicle that appeared to be the awd transfer case. Took the vehicle back to nissan service dept at 94,000 miles and was told I need the right front axle seal replaced.”Owner report · Power Train · Jun 2019
“Was driving home and my speedometer began to act weird and raise and lower at a 45 mph speed. Then it made a weird sound. On a take off it takes some time to accelerate or switch gears. There seemed like there was no power which was weird as this car is a turbo. After this happened the service engine soon light came on and the traction icon has come on and off repeatedly. Took my car to a local oreillys and a code came up when they hooked the machine to it. It came up with a p2263 code. They saidit was the tc system-b1 (turbocharger boost system performance) saying that despite the boosting area, the boost does not increase.”Owner report · Power Train · May 2019
