I'm the only owner of this vehicle. In Dec 2021 (@ 61000 miles) I had problems with steering my vehicle. I went to break and could not break on the expressway. I was on a 55 miles expressway during rush hour traffic. I came to a stop on the side of the road and when I try to engage the accelerator to get off to the exit the car will not move. It kept stalling and making grounding sounds. The steering wheel was hard to turn as well. Had the Nissan dealership tell me the transmission had to be replaced after 10 days of having my car at the dealership. The transmission was replaced. April 2023 (@ 87000 miles), I am back at the dealership with transmission again. This is the same transmission they put there in Dec 2021. I was going less than 10 mile on a normal roadway. The car will not accelerator or move over 10 mph. It sounded like it I was changing gear in a manual car. The abs light would blink off and on for a split second as the car jerk and trying to accelerate. I have also spend on replacing the suspending and steering, control arms and a whole bunch of other things.

What owners say
CPO Juke with 42k miles on it; transmission failure seemingly out of nowhere. RPMs would indicate acceleration but no additional speed could be gained over 40mph. Car would drive fine for about 15 minutes before the transmission would begin to fail again. Took it to dealership, it was diagnosed with transmission failure and transmission was replaced under warranty. Took 2 weeks for the repair request to be granted; a total of 16 days from initial diagnosis to pickup after repairs.
Faulty transmission, my car has less than 60k miles and the transmission started failing. It was up to date on transmission fluid and filters were good. My mechanic couldn't thing a reason why the transmission was failing, I was suggested to put a brand new transmission on my car which has only 55k miles, this started to happen while I was on the highway, my transmission started slipping out of no where

Transmission failure 2016 nissan juke sl awd which began day after I bought it. I described this to dealer as "car revs but no acceleration. Initially it would happen after driving on highway for about 1-1.5 hours. Now it begins within the 10 miles it takes to drive to pick up rental car. Three times thus far I have been nearly rear ended, once by a tractor trailer whose wheels I can still hear screeching because the car wouldn't accelerate coming off an exit. The only solution is to stop the car in its 'tracks' to try to get the transmission to catch. I told nissan dealership where I purchased the car that car isn't safe to drive as well as nissan. Neither will even acknowledge the issue exists including refusing to view videos I took to demonstrate the issue. I took the car to 3 different nissan dealerships. One in ny said the issue was being caused by an access, a quart plus overfull, of transmission fluid. The said it would self adjust after 2000-3000 miles. First 300 miles from ny to dc car drove normally. On return trip, same issue, within 1-1.5 hrs transmission started to hesitate, car wouldn't accelerate. Car also has electrical issues which cause console to randomly reset itself. And a nauseating smell that pervades the car which initially was noticed when I turned the heat/defrost on but now sitting here writing this, I can smell the order in my hair; I think it's some sort of exhaust smell. Nissan response to the smell which I initially thought was maybe antifreeze was that "you will smell some antifreeze. You're just sensitive smells". I have no documents to upload other than service records which shows no repairs performed. I literally just texted a friend to borrow money to buy a used a car because the more I drive the car the worse it gets and I fear an accident will ensue causing harm to myself or someone else.
