Since purchasing my 2013 nissan juke I have continually had problems driving on the hwy, especially when it's hot out, driving my car on major hwy (I-5 interstate), I drive from ca to or about 5 times a year my car will suddenly, no warning light, decelerate from 70 MPH to 30 MPH almost causing me to get in a accident every single time it happens right now I'm on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and I'm just hoping that my car is going to start again I barely made it to the off-ramp this is a documented all over the web by hundreds of owners! The 2013 nissan juke this turbocharger or whatever it is with the engine that is making this happen is so serious I could die on the freeway and I don't want to die when nissan should be replacing these it's a known fact and nissan is not acknowledging it if you look at the blogs and other complaints online you will see thousands of people have complained about it too I don't want to die because of this and I can't afford to put in a new turbo charger or a new engine in my car when this is a known issue!! Nissan has a legal responsibility to replace these parts for us for their customers and our suffering from this. It is beyond an accident waiting to happen when you were on an interstate freeway in your car goes from 70 miles an hour down to 30 or 40 and will barely go over that you can barely even get off the side of the road without getting run over by major huge trucks it is a total safety problem and it needs to be addressed. There are no warning lights or anything that even shows you what it could possibly be and people who go to nissan and say this happened they always say the same thing well it didn't happen for us while we were driving it so we don't know what it is they know very well exactly what it is. Thousands or hundreds of people who are complaining about this are all not lying.
