My sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving 25 mph and no other cars around me. This seems to be a regular problem known to Nissan but Nissan will take no responsibility for THEIR defective product. $2000 for Nissan to replace.

Driving from Vegas to Los Angeles and 105 plus degree weather car went into limp mode unexpectedly in in 65 mph traffic in the fast lane was almost rear-ended could not accelerate to get off the side of the road for about 5 minutes. Car was jerking and not accelerating pulled over to check out what was wrong smelled burning fluids car would start but would no longer move. About 45 minutes to an hour later after checking all the fluid levels making sure they were at the appropriate level, restarted vehicle attempted to drive home car kept going into limp mode had to keep pulling over. Took the card to dealership because I heard there was some sort of problem with the transmissions and they should have been under warranty when I got there they told me after they try a temporary fix and it would take at least 30 days to get a new transmission (technically not new rebuilt same transmission that is flawed in the first place)for my car even though it was one of the transmissions pertaining to the bulletin issue by the Nissan corp. My car now lacks acceleration is still having difficulty going right into gear and makes an audible (inside the cabin of the vehicle) grating sound whenever I drive it Putting back in a rebuilt transmission that is bad because it doesn't have a large enough cooling system for it doesn't make any sense to me. It creates a hazard every time I drive in 100° weather or above I'm going to have to worry about possibly being rear-ended on the freeway because the car goes into the mode with no warning. A few minutes after lymph mode the check engine light will come on but not until after the car hits limp mode.

Saturday 12/26/20 driving south on fm-1314 around 5pm at 60mph, I heard like a gunshot followed by broken glass, I look everywhere around thinking someone shot at me or other cars behind me and noticed nothing. Seconds later I noticed glass on the passenger seat. My sunroof was completely open, so I tried to close it as soon I noticed the glass and is when I found out it was shattered. I went to a near heb to use the vacuum to clean the glass, before that I took pictures and you can see that the glass blow or exploded like something hit from inside creating like a dome. Since the sunroof was open no way a rock or debris hit the glass since is retracted inside the rood of the juke. Thank god I just got startled and my reaction was quick and I didn't finished on the side of the road creating an accident. I open a claim with my insurance company minutes after that, not sure yet how much is to repaired it.

Vehicle started jerking and the RPM gauge was moving up and down while in motion. I had to keep breaking and pushing the gas as it would accelerate on it's own. We took it to get scanned at auto zone, scan said it's the transmission pressure sensor. Other nissan vehicles have had this issue with their CVT transmission.
