2013 Nissan Juke: check engine light

Filed Aug 26, 2026 · Fuel system · PA

I bought this car 2 years ago. It was changed to white sometime in its past. There are recalls that are old that were not fixed on this car and I am having a problem with it. It stopped 2x’s in the middle of traffic and then a rattling sound started and the check engine light is on. I had a friend look up the codes and the code and my description are the exact recall reason. I know this car is old but I just got it. I’m disabled and on a fixed income. I just want to see if I can get the recall honored.

Driving on highway averaging 80 MPH. I was not using cruise control. After 30 minutes of driving the vehicle begins to decelerate. I pressed the gas pedal further to accelerate, yet it had no effect. The vehicle speed dropped to 60 MPH. I put on hazards. The vehicle continued to decelerate to 50 MPH. This happened within a matter of seconds. I immediately made my way to the shoulder of the highway. During this time, the check engine light never flashed, nor did any other indicator light come on. The temperature gauge was well below the halfway point. I parked, and raised the hood to examine the vehicle. The fluids were all at recommended levels. After 5 minutes, I began to drive again. The vehicle slowly accelerated and would not go over 50 MPH. I pulled off to the next exit and drove to a gas station. I double checked the fluids and used the owners manual to help identify any dashboard indicator lights that may signify that something is malfunctioning. Nothing showed. I kept the car off for over 20 minutes. I started the car back up and it ran normally without problems. There has been 10 or more other times I can recall where this has happened. This is crap and makes me wish I never got this juke. I have been to the nissan dealers all around me and no one can explain this problem to me. There needs to be some sort of recall to fix this dangerous problem. I do not need cars almost rear ending me and drivers pissed off at me because my car wont go. And who has time to wait 20 to 40 minutes to wait for whatever the issue is to correct itself!

Driving on highway averaging 80 MPH. I was not using cruise control. After 4 hours of driving the vehicle begins to decelerate. I pressed the gas pedal further to accelerate, yet it had no effect. The vehicle speed dropped to 60 MPH. I put on hazards. I shifted the automatic gear shift to manual and attempted to downshift. The gear indicator on the dashboard showed 7 (top gear), and as I attempted to downshift, the transmission would not downshift. The '7' gear indicator began to flash. The vehicle continued to decelerate to 50 MPH. This happened within a matter of 10 seconds. I immediately made my way to the shoulder of the highway. During this time, the check engine light never flashed, nor did any other indicator light come on. The temperature gauge was well below the halfway point.

I kept the car off for over 20 minutes. I started the car back up and it ran normally without problems. There has been 4 other times I can recall where this has happened. I have taken it to the nissan dealer back in 2016 reporting this issue, and they have not been able to recreate the issue. I am currently sitting at a nissan dealer 300 miles from home as I am on a trip and they still cannot figure it out. This all happened on a 70mph highway as my 11 yr old daughter was in the car with me, and had cars and semi trucks swerving to avoid hitting us. I have a 16 yr old son who drives my car, and I have serious concern for his safety.

Car was traveling 55 MPH and lost momentum and wouldn't go past 40 MPH. The engine light came on. Turned it off and took it to the dealership where I was told a code for a bad turbo. Replaced it at the dealership and was returned to me. Drove it less than a mile and the same thing happen, so I turned around and returned it to the service department. The service department said they had installed a defected turbo and the were going to put another one in. It's been two weeks and they still can find what's wrong with my car cause it's still throwing the same code after the second turbo installed.

While traveling at 55mph on the highway, heard a clunk from the engine compartment and loss of propulsion power with an dry gear noise. Turned off the car and the next day it ran smooth down a street until I accelerated to get on a highway. The same noise appeared accompanying a check engine light and immediate reduction of acceleration while attempting to make a right turn. Turbo boost fault was recorded in the ecu. Took it in for service and the result was the turbo came apart. Dealer said they never seen a turbo apart with no signs of improper maintenance. Service bulletin the federal safety agency id: 10109203 and tsb id: ntb16-035a has talks about an engine cooling system turbocharger service. Oil line replacement required with turbocharger service. The turbocharger part number has been rescinded and replaced with a newer model. The dealer informed me that the car is unsafe to drive as the internal turbo components can come loose and damage the engine. This vehicle has had the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v683000 recall completed. And a manufactures recall to replace the timing belt. If this issue were to happen when crossing a highway with traffic, the safe distance can be significantly reduced to the lack of acceleration power.
