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.

My wife has a nissan juke 2011 which has a recall on it for turbo. She was driving suddenly lost power. We took it to the repair shop they told us its a turbo that went bad and there is a recall on it. We took the car to the dealer and they refused to work on it I told them there is a recall for nissan juke 2011. The dealer told us yes but not our VIN number when he entered into the system. What concerns me is that she completely lost power while driving and yes thats a very serious concern. I would appreciate if you look into this and have dealer fix all nissan 2011 juke. They dont mention what VIN # are having issue until you go to the dealer and find out you have to pay $4000.00 to fix. I just think its not right but I am thankful she was not hurt more and more complaints are coming in I am hoping they will fix this issue for all car owners.

I was driving out of my neighborhood as usual when my car suddenly lost power going uphill at 25 MPH. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership a week later and they said the engine had to be replaced because of a timing chain failure. At first I thought it might have been a strange incident since there weren't many other jukes with the mileage I had on mine. I was barely 2 years into my car loan and already had to dish out $7k for a new engine. I opted out of having the car repaired so last year and had to buy another car for work. I had a 4 year loan on the car and half of that period the car will have been the car sitting dead in the garage.
