Takata recall to whom it may concern my 2011 nissan juke has been having some electrical problems when I purchased the vehicle it came with a remote start two weeks in the vehicle wouldn't start with the remote start whenever I pushed the remote start it would click and wouldn't come on. It also made the two car keys I had not work and the monitor screen wouldn't turn on. I replaced the batteries on the keys and also the car and eventually disconnected the remote start ast the problem still proceeded. After doing so it worked for a couple months fine except for a few glitches in the monitor now it's acting up again while I was driving it the screen went off while driving I turned the car off and the screen comes on again. Then the car stops while I'm driving. I had a local mechanic check he said it was my timing chain in my engine I found an article on cars.com that said the repair is covered under recall. I'm still making payments on my vehicle and I have no warranty the repair is expensive about 2,000 to fix so I am without a car.

Many 2011 nissan jukes were part of a VIN specific recall involving a manufacturing defect causing the the timing chain to stretch. My vehicle was not a part of this recall but I have recently had this issue with my car, rendering it unusable. Nissan has been contacted but is claiming it is a warranty issue (they have not been working with me to escalate this issue). I have also notified my attorney generals office who recommended I reach out to you. I had two mechanics look at it before going to nissan and a nissan tech confirmed that this is, in fact, the issue with my car. I found out when my car just stopped running while in idle, and then it would not start again. My mechanic found an oil leak, and a second mechanic (my first was too booked to dig too deep into the issue) found the timing chain issue and recommended going straight to nissan. Since the issue occurred the car has not been driven and is currently at nissan.
