Had the oil changed per 3 month time on july 14th, 0 ticking for about 3 days then ticking sound under the hood again. Scheduled service appt for 8/31/18. The service dept said needed time chain replaced. Went back, noted timing chain replaced per recall on 4/6/15 @mileage 6/05. 8/3/18 mileage 111830- timing chain only lasted 50,779 miles count. The part only last 50,779 miles @ documentation, but has been ticking for several weeks. I have spoken and niacin north america, they only warranty for 12 months or 12,000 miles on replaced parts. This juke was running fine before timing chain replaced. Also, I had the 100,000 mile warranty. This timing chain needs to last more than 50,000 miles. We also have receipts from where we did have the oil changed. That was also a question- the dealership said must have not changed oil- so that's why timing chain failed so soon, I was told if the timing chain snaps- the cardiac while driving!! Updated 11/8/18

The fuel pressure sensor on my juke has gone bad and I am being told that my car is not part of any recall. Soooo many other jukes have been on the recall and they won't fix my problem. They won't is diagnos the problem unless I pay them $140 to scan my juke. My gas mileage sucks and I smell gas in the cab ocassionally. I contacted nissan directly and got a email back telling me my car is not in the recall and I would need to take it to nissan to diagnose what I already know is the problem. I'm really surprised nissan isn't more concerned with this. I remember firestorm and ford and a lot of lawsuits and deaths.

Vehicle has been idling a little weird for a few weeks and yesterday my juke hesitated a little before starting. After this the check engine light turned on and I got 2 codes because of it p0090 and p0087. I did some research and discovered that these codes come up from a faulty fuel pressure sensor which has been recalled a few different times. When I inquired from the nissan dealership they told me my car had no recalls and I would need to pay almost $140 from them just to tell me what might need to be fixed. I can smell gas while the car is idling in my garage and my car has troubles shifting and starting. Juke is a 2012 with about 56k miles on it.
