The contact owned a 2013 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH, the front driver-side steering airbag was inadvertently deployed. The air bag emitted black smoke, a chemical substance, fractured her watch off from her wrist due to the impact, and the steering wheel seized. As a result, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crash into a second parked vehicle. During the crash, the driver sustained injuries to the upper left leg and left hand, neck, left shoulder, and torso injuries along with a left forearm laceration and chemical burning from the air bag deployment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the incident.

Since purchasing my 2013 nissan juke I have continually had problems driving on the hwy, especially when it's hot out, driving my car on major hwy (I-5 interstate), I drive from ca to or about 5 times a year my car will suddenly, no warning light, decelerate from 70 MPH to 30 MPH almost causing me to get in a accident every single time it happens right now I'm on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and I'm just hoping that my car is going to start again I barely made it to the off-ramp this is a documented all over the web by hundreds of owners! The 2013 nissan juke this turbocharger or whatever it is with the engine that is making this happen is so serious I could die on the freeway and I don't want to die when nissan should be replacing these it's a known fact and nissan is not acknowledging it if you look at the blogs and other complaints online you will see thousands of people have complained about it too I don't want to die because of this and I can't afford to put in a new turbo charger or a new engine in my car when this is a known issue!! Nissan has a legal responsibility to replace these parts for us for their customers and our suffering from this. It is beyond an accident waiting to happen when you were on an interstate freeway in your car goes from 70 miles an hour down to 30 or 40 and will barely go over that you can barely even get off the side of the road without getting run over by major huge trucks it is a total safety problem and it needs to be addressed. There are no warning lights or anything that even shows you what it could possibly be and people who go to nissan and say this happened they always say the same thing well it didn't happen for us while we were driving it so we don't know what it is they know very well exactly what it is. Thousands or hundreds of people who are complaining about this are all not lying.

I have a 2011 nissan juke. There was a timing chain recall on all 2011-2014 nissan jukes. I was not notified of any recalls. When my timing chain broke, I was told by henderson nissan in nevada that the valves were damaged because of the defective timing chain. A rep from nissan's corporate office told me that my VIN number does not fall into the recall category for the defective timing chain so they did not want to pay for the $9,000 for a new engine. There is a class action lawsuit in california in regards to the timing chain.

My vehicle had started to struggle with losing speed/power while on the highway approximately one week ago. Began to notice a rattling noise along with oil leaking from my vehicle's engine a few days ago. Took it into the nissan service department right way. Today I was informed that the timing chain had been stretched and was scraping against my engine, creating a hole and requiring a new engine. If I had been on the highway when my timing chain completely failed I could have been seriously injured or dead. Nissan quotes me at 9000+ dollars to replace my engine. They had a 'voluntary service campaign' back in 2014 for defective timing chains in 2010 - 2013 nissan jukes. I bought my nissan from an authorized dealership in 2014, never received any notice nor did any nissan service department notify me of the issue when I brought my vehicle in.

I bought my 2011 nissan juke brand new. It has just over 57,000 miles. While driving I was about to enter the highway when the engine just shut off. No warning lights came on before the vehicle shut off. I had the vehicle towed to a nissan dealer and was told it jumped timing and a new engine was needed. I've kept up with all the maintenance and have all my receipts. I had the timing chain replaced during a service campaign in 2014. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and after 3 days I was informed they would cover 70% of the repairs. Which means my portion is just over $3,300. I believe this should be covered 100% as this is a safety issue with many other experiencing the same. I hate to think what would have happened if I had made it on to the highway. Nissan is well aware of this issue and should do more to rectify it.

The timing belt along with other associated cranks and pulleys, are damaged. The car has been kept current with all maintenance and out of the blue the timing chain mechanism begins to fail. This is extremely dangerous to drive with engine failure looming around every corner, and the repair costs on something that should last is sky high. When this happened the first time, the car was stationary and I noticed the sound upon start up of the vehicle.
