Car was running, no prior issues. Shut off car, returned a few hours later and it would not start. Everything else worked, but wouldn't attempt to turn over. Was -18 at night with my young kids in rural nowhere. Came back next day with tow, and it started. Replaced cruise and brake module per suggestions. Ran fine for another few weeks, then repeated the issue. Replaced battery with AGM battery. Started. Next day it happened again, once I got to work. Towed it home. Reprogramed keys. Nothing. Replaced starter. A few days later it started. After a month, it sputtered out after starting, then would not start (inside garage). Later that day, it started. Inspected by Nissan and various mechanics. No warning lights. Ran diagnostics and nothing. I absolutely hate the unpredictability but like my vehicle, but not enough to leave my kids and I stranded; especially in the cold winter.

My 2013 juke sl broke down while I was driving. The car slowed down and then came to a stop and wouldn't start. It was towed to a nissan service dealership. They found that the engine timing chain broke and damaged my engine. I waited weeks to hear back from nissan corporate office. They will do nothing. I bought the car brand new and doesn't have 60,000 miles on it. The nissan dealership will give me 500.00 for trade in. 2011-2013 jukes have had this faulty timing chain. I can't believe nissan won't do anything for me.

In 2014 nissan of north olmstead did a recall on our timing chain when they did the recall they did not replace the tensioners causing the chain to rub through the timing chain cover. There is also metal shards in our oil in the engine. The car would not start and was leaking oil very badly we took the car to conrad's in lakewood and that is what they told us and showed us with video. *ln *tr*jb consumer stated dealership refuse to fix.

This juke has been great until now a week ago. It has intermittently failed to start. All things check out good that usually cause this. The battery, alternator, starter, etc. We have had it leave us stranded and the mechanic cannot find anything wrong. There was a service bulletin sent out about 2011-2013 jukes saying nissan knows this is a problems. However the dealership knows nothing about it and less than helpful. They want to charge 160$ to see if they can diagnose it , but it must fail in order for them to diagnose. The problem with that is that it doesn't always fail. There are many days it starts without issue. I unfortunately don't have an extra vehicle to help get my family around while they keep it for several days. We bought this car used, and have had no issues until now. There are many complaints online about the same issue. Seems nissan should own the fault and that dealerships should know how to help customers it doesn't always fail to start after it has been sitting. It could have been driven and then turned off to get gas, and then won't start. Oh and it always starts after the battery has been jumped off. What is that about since the battery test good. Seems electrical, or software update something. Please help.it seems that other customers have had the ECM reprogrammed and that has seem to help resolve the issue. Southwest nissan is awful.

My 2017 awd juke has only 16,000 miles on it and already needs the front tires replaced. The back tires look almost new. I took it in to have the tires rotated and was told they are too worn to rotate and would need to buy 4 new tires. The other problem is the car would not start sometimes. It is push button start. I noticed the green key light flashing on the dash. After reading the manuel, I replaced the battery in the fob. That did not rectify the problem. The brake pedal will not engage to start the car. It is currently parked in the garage and I have no idea how we will be able to move it since it can not be put in gear without being turned on.

I brought my juke into nissan for an oil change. After getting the vehicle back that night I began having issues starting the car. Initially I thought the key needed to be reprogrammed. I spent the money bought a second key and the there problem still exist. The start/stop engine button on the car only starts the car after multiple tries. There is obviously an issue with the start/stop button. This has been a continual problem and has left me stranded because the car will not start back up. The battery is brand new, I have a brand new key, and the break pedal censor is good.
