I purchased this Nissan 2012 from Hyundai Santa Maria. It has had a problem starting consistently. There are recorded records all over the net. Simply google Nissan Juke Push Button won't start. I have already spent some money trying to figure out the issue. People have been stranded in my car Calling triple A. It drains the batteries which are $250 each. Nissan indicates that the remote keyless entry that stalls in the accesory mode. It has been 10 yrs an people are having to dump their cars. Mine I pay $224 a month an 11k loan for it to sit in my driveway. It is a danger as if the car cannot be started in a hazardous situation then someone will die. The contact stated that Nissan has not offered any assistance so far. The contact was informed by Nissan that their vehicle does not apply to the recall and recommended that they pay for diagnostic testing.

This juke has been great until now a week ago. It has intermittently failed to start. All things check out good that usually cause this. The battery, alternator, starter, etc. We have had it leave us stranded and the mechanic cannot find anything wrong. There was a service bulletin sent out about 2011-2013 jukes saying nissan knows this is a problems. However the dealership knows nothing about it and less than helpful. They want to charge 160$ to see if they can diagnose it , but it must fail in order for them to diagnose. The problem with that is that it doesn't always fail. There are many days it starts without issue. I unfortunately don't have an extra vehicle to help get my family around while they keep it for several days. We bought this car used, and have had no issues until now. There are many complaints online about the same issue. Seems nissan should own the fault and that dealerships should know how to help customers it doesn't always fail to start after it has been sitting. It could have been driven and then turned off to get gas, and then won't start. Oh and it always starts after the battery has been jumped off. What is that about since the battery test good. Seems electrical, or software update something. Please help.it seems that other customers have had the ECM reprogrammed and that has seem to help resolve the issue. Southwest nissan is awful.

Problems with constant battery drainage. Even though the car is just parked and nothing on battery drains randomly and out of nowhere. I have replaced battery 7 times in the last 2 years. I am always scared to be stranded and en up calling aaa to rescue me. I have called aaa at least 12 times in the last 3 years just to get my car going. I have taken the car for service and diagnosis to various nissan dealershipd to have checked and they always say they don't know what the source of the problem is. This is so beyond frustrating!!

Juke has difficulty starting sporadically. Attempted to change alternator and battery however it did not resolve the problem. Multiple dealerships were unable to locate source of the problem as it was hard to be replicated. Took car to have battery checked and they stated that there appears to be something draining battery when off. Car has left me stranded multiple times due to not being able to start.

I have a 2012 nissan juke and about a month ago the driver side door power lock started to not function properly. After another week the door lock completed quit working. Than another week later the driver side rear door lock quit working. So two power door locks quit working in the same month. Now the doors won't lock or unlock automatically. The alarm still sets on the car but the door will still open and start the alarm (really annoying). I am a little concerned that if I needed quick access in or out of the car I wouldn't be able to which risks my safety and whoever is sitting behind the driver. I just think this must be a really cheap faulty part if two went out the same month. And the car has not been in any sort of accidents.

Purchased brand new in 2012 and I have put 5 new batteries in this car, . The adverage life span is 10 months. I just had the car serviced at 60k and within 1 week the battery was dead ( the dealer admitted did not test the battery at that service) put new battery in dead in 2 months. Dealer has not offered any solution for this problem for the past 3 years. Others owners have complained about the same issue and model and no solution is ever offered. Something is draining it. This is a safety issue. You just do not know when it will die. Always parked when the battery dies, I get it jumped and it starts. All the electrical comes on but the car will not turn over. I drive the car daily for long distances so the altenator will charge.

The battery was dead on two occasions within 2 weeks. The first time it was parked in my garage and it was morning. The second time it was parked at work. I drove the car to purchase gas at lunch time and when I tried to start it to go home at 4 pm the car would not start. Aaa came and boosted the battery and tightened the connections the first time. The second time aaa just tightened the connections on the battery and the car started. I just purchased this car so I don't know what problems the previous owner had. Why would the connections be loose. I have never had this problem before and this is my sixth vehicle.
