2012 nissan juke has a very strong gasoline odor whenever the car is started. The odor dissipates while on the road, but if the vehicle is parked for any length of time and then re-started, the odor returns. This began a few months ago, but was very intermittent initially. Now it is very frequent.
2012 Nissan Juke fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Small drops of fuel under the vehicle were spotted and when the AC/heat is turned on there is a strong smell of fuel that enters the cabin. This happens at initial start up after sitting for several hours. The odor has been ongoing for about a year, when I took the vehicle in to the dealer they said my VIN was not included in any recall campaign and told me some turbo models do that. The drops of fuel was recently.
I had a gas/exhaust smell coming into my cabin of vehicle and from my the outside of my vehicle. I took to my mechanic, where he confirmed that there was a gas leak and that nissan had recalls on my type of vehicle for this reason. Told me to take to nissan dealer for recall repairs. There were two recall id#: r1201 and r1418. The dealership said my VIN# didn't have a recall, despite the confirmation from my mechanic that there was a leak. I called national consumer affairs dept nissan north america, talked with akash #7319300, case # 29075850, where I was told nothing is wrong with my vehicle and that I should have it fixed at my cost. It didn't have a recall, even after explaining everything. This is a safety issue and there are recalls for this, but they will not look or fix my vehicle under the recall. If my type of vehicle has not 1 but 2 recalls on it for this issue, how is it possible that my vehicle is not one of them? The recall states on the attached documents, "if you notice a fuel smell in the cabin of your vehicle, please bring your vehicle into a nissan dealer for repairs as soon as possible." I did this and they wouldn't fix it.
Increasing odor of fuel in the cabin. First noticed when the weather became cool. No obvious cause or engine performance issues noted. No leaks noted around the vehicle. Nissan dealership quoting $450 minimum to diagnose and needs the car for 2 days in order to find the problem.
Strong gas odor in car coming from air vents fuel pressure regulator was re torque under a recall. No visible leak gas odor under the hood also.strong odor under hood. Nissan will not cover they say they already repaired part alone is$ 800.00 and wont even look at it with out charging me had it independently verified bye a qualified mechanic.
Noticed gasoline smell in car; smell got progressively worse. Fuel found leaking under car. Car taken to mechanic. Mechanic investigated leak and nissan juke recalls. Mechanic found fuel leak under intake -see recall 14v683. Nissan says not covered by recall. Intake removed and found the fuel pressure sensor not adequately torqued. Touched with wrench an spewed fuel. Then turned off by hand. Matches the symptoms of the recall exactly.
My 2012 nissan juke would not accelerate above 75 MPH, despite the gas pedal being completely pressed down ("pedal to the metal"). A distinct smell of gasoline was noticed in the cabin. I took my juke to a mechanic, who said the problem was fuel leaking through the fuel pressure sensor. Though there is currently a recall campaign for some 2012-2014 nissan jukes (reference the federal safety agency 14v683000), my specific VIN was not included. I request that this recall be investigated and expanded. A fuel pressure sensor is not something that would be within the expected regular maintenance of any vehicle, and is very likely a defect stemming from manufacturing. Communication attempts with nissan north america have been rather disappointing. This is a known issue with many of the nissan juke vehicles, but nissan north america is not willing to provide any repairs for my vehicle.
Tl-the contact owns a 2012 nissan juke. The contact stated that there was an odor of fuel coming from the inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: v14v683000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 46,000.

Noticed a fuel / gas smell in cabin , especially while car was standing still with engine running.
When turning on the air conditioning in the car after engine startup a very strong smell of gas enters the vehicle cabin. The fumes are very strong and unmistakable. This does not happen every time but happens often enough to be a concern. This started I would say within the past 4-6 months, not sure exactly when. Did not take the vehicle to the dealership for concern, was waiting for an oil change interval to come up. I told the dealership about the issue when I took the vehicle for a timing chain replacement tsb. The dealership (weston nissan in davie, florida) has said that they could not duplicate the problem. Gas smell/fumes entering the vehicle compartment is a safety/health issue especially when you have a child inside.
