I bought this car late 2019, from a used dealership. I was on the freeway on my way back from a 1 1/2 hr drive. And the car suddenly stopped accelerating.! I would push down on the gas petal and nothing. Freeway with traffic. It was so scary! The cars behind me almost hit me! I managed to put on my hazards lights on and pulled over. Then waited a while, and then turned it back on and it worked. Then it happened again. An so on until I made it back home, my 1 hour drive turn into 3hrs because I kept pulling over., until I got into the nearest town to a autozone to check it. Because the engine light turn on, they were able to give me some codes regarding the issue. Apparently it has something to do with the ●power train system. Cvt. Torque converter. Im not to sure what is that. It happened on the freeway, and I was terrified! Its also important to mention that just one month ago I payed around $700 to fix the suspension, and cv joints, not sure the name of the problem it had. But it was something that kept eating my tires out.! I kept buying new and used tires, I even took it to get it aligned. But it kept eating my tires up, then in a tireshop they told me to take it to a mechanic because it seem that something was very bad. Because the tires they wouldn't last, I took it to a mechanic and he said that I was in danger because the cv joints (I think that is what he said) were almost about to fall off.! Because they were damaged and thats was another issue I had with this car. ●the tire pressure light keeps turning on and off, even when it doesn't needs air. ●and the traction light turns on like in a flashing way, and the car moves and gets out of control side to side. It seems like the car is posses or something it does his own thing it get out of my control. I just stopped driving for now. I'm terrified to drive it! What can I do?

Transmission has a problem with overheating on any trip longer than an hour, leading to the car going into limp mode and being unable to maintain speeds and/or climb any high % grade. This has happened to me multiple times, leading to an immediate loss of power and the need to pull over and park on mountain roads to avoid rolling backwards. This is a known issue on juke forums, and nissan themselves have code read countless cars with the CVT transmission being the issue.

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.

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.

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.
