Car was running, no prior issues. Shut off car, returned a few hours later and it would not start. Everything else worked, but wouldn't attempt to turn over. Was -18 at night with my young kids in rural nowhere. Came back next day with tow, and it started. Replaced cruise and brake module per suggestions. Ran fine for another few weeks, then repeated the issue. Replaced battery with AGM battery. Started. Next day it happened again, once I got to work. Towed it home. Reprogramed keys. Nothing. Replaced starter. A few days later it started. After a month, it sputtered out after starting, then would not start (inside garage). Later that day, it started. Inspected by Nissan and various mechanics. No warning lights. Ran diagnostics and nothing. I absolutely hate the unpredictability but like my vehicle, but not enough to leave my kids and I stranded; especially in the cold winter.

My 2013 juke sl broke down while I was driving. The car slowed down and then came to a stop and wouldn't start. It was towed to a nissan service dealership. They found that the engine timing chain broke and damaged my engine. I waited weeks to hear back from nissan corporate office. They will do nothing. I bought the car brand new and doesn't have 60,000 miles on it. The nissan dealership will give me 500.00 for trade in. 2011-2013 jukes have had this faulty timing chain. I can't believe nissan won't do anything for me.

My nissan juke 2013 is having electrical problems. I brought it to gerald nissan in naperville, il and they told me the ipdm needed to be replaced for $1,100.00 and they still weren't sure it would fix the problem. The vehicle won't start sometimes, it stays while driving (very scary). It over heated once because a signal wasn't sent to the fan. I've noticed this is I big complaint issue with nissan. Is there a recall on such a problem. I can't even drive the car the way it is because I never know what's going to happen next. Joe

Different days. Car died while driving straight 30 MPH in town on main st. Car died in middle of the road, was unable to start the car again. After repeated pushing of the ignition start button the car finally started./ car was parked at home in the driveway, I got in to leave and the car would not start, again repeatedly pushed the start button and it finally started, this has happened 5+ times./ driving on interstate 80mph car would not rise above 3000 RPM and would not accelerate above 45mph. Pulled the car over turned it off for 15 mins restarted and it was normal again. Happened 10+times./ upon starting the smell of fuel is strong inside of the car, sometimes while driving in town the smell of fuel is there. When the car turns off the smell fades away. Happens almost daily.
