I just replaced my transmission and was told by the dealership of the CVT issues. It cost me almost $4k to replace when I picked up my car it was in worse condition and the turbo went. How convienant. Nissan has made my life so difficult and overwhelming and the service I've experienced is gross. I've put more money into this car then it's worth. Oh they also put wood blocks under my engine.

What owners say
Yes transmission problems loud is loud whistling noise overheating of the transmission at long periods of driving have not taken it to the dealership to get checked did read up online that in that there are problems with the transmission in this year of car is this year of cars and also making model of the 2014 Nissan Duke CVT transmission
2014 Nisan Juke, 68,772 miles, makes high pitched noise and emits an acrid smell when going up steep mountain interstate highway, it then slows to a stop. No warning lights or high temp readings. Very dangerous to stop and stall on an major interstate. It seems to be a transmission problem. First time it happened, Empire Nissan dealer said it was fine, changed the oil and sent me off. 2nd time, actual breakdown, took it to a local mechanic who said it is probably a lock up, as in Code PO774. Now at different dealer Shomp, they are diagnosing and hopefully fixing it. There is a Class Action Suit about this Juke, CVT litigation, Nissan appears to have extended the warranty.
I live in arizona; it is end of april and yesterday temperatures were 99-100 degrees. Coming back from phoenix on highway going 75mph, RPM was at 4000; engine revving high and would not come down- very loud and noisy. Upon going up hill, car started to automatically slow down on its own, first to 40 MPH, then to 25mph. At this point I pulled over to the shoulder as my car continued to slow to 20 MPH. All of this while my foot was pressed completely to the floor of the gas pedal! Absolutely no power! Sat on the side of the road for a few minutes but kept engine running. Once I started on the road again, trany seemed to "kick in" and I was able to go 40 MPH in a matter of minutes with regular RPM and no noise. I stopped at the gas station 3 miles ahead and let the vehicle rest for about 10 minutes. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The first time was 7 months prior in the hotter month of september in arizona where temperatures reach well into 110. Same scenerio of traveling long distance- 75-80 miles, pushing the vehicle to 75mph on freeway, gas pedal all the way to the floor and losing power. The first time this happened was frightening because I was on busy freeway, lots of traffic, and suddenly no power with vehicle decelerating to 60, then 50mph with kids in the car. Problem resolved when I got off freeway and let the car rest. Both times there was no engine light. Yesterday when I called the dealership, they were not familiar with this problem. When I came home I googled my scenerio and discovered this is a very common problem among nissan owners with CVT transmission. Why is there not a recall or bulletin on this with a fix??
My juke has been dececlerating while in highway doing 75mph and has been jumping gears which all had been a problem since purchasing the car and was not found until today that the entire valve body control in the transmission which controls CVT needs to be replaced. This is a safety issue that should have been recalled as my car is 4 years old and should not have this problem with less then 130000 miles. I had extended warranty until 120000 and continuously reported this to dealership during each service which they never could diagnose and found today telling me the cost to fix it and replace and resolve these issues is over $1800. My juke has had several problems on top of these issues all to do with safety over the years and several similar complaints have been reported and not recalled by nissan which is unacceptable, unsafe, and a legal issue which I will possibly be pursuing due to the several accidents I have also experienced throughout the years which these problems were also present and not resolved due to no safety recalls being on file with nissan. My car has also shut off twice while in traffic and stopped accelerating on highway several times almost causing accidents. Other owners have reported these same issues and no recalls have been done although the juke also stopped being made in 2015 right after I purchased mine brand new. I have kept up on all routine maintenance throughout the years and fees that these issues are unacceptable, unsafe, and all which I will be reporting to better business heresy, nissan, and exploring legal case if nissan does not look into recalling these several safety hazards on the 2014-2015 jukes, including my juke. I want a resolution and not to have to pay for these safety concerns that should have been recalled and resolved and still have not been to this date of today where issue was identified, see attachment.
