“I am a frustrated owner of a 2013 Nissan JUKE sl. I am the first and only owner. At about 20k miles, I took the car in for its regularly scheduled maintenance and complained that the vehicle was noises while driving on the highway. I was given, what I know now to be the textbook response, 'I'm sorry we drove the car and could not duplicate the issue you're complaining about'. …”

NHTSA complaint #10622485, filed 2014-08, 38,691 miles“I have a Nissan JUKE 2013 sv awd. Since I bought it, I have CVT problems. When I drive long distance and the weather is over 75 f or I drive on mountainous roads, my car stop accelerating. Sometimes I can't go faster than 60 miles/h, but most of the time it's max 40 or even 20 miles/hour. I also have a check engine icon in my dash when it happen sometimes. I got my car checked by my mechanic several times and he ran the electronic test on my Nissan. He told me that this test show a transmission problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11129612, filed 2018-09, 40,000 miles“I was driving on the highway during a 1.5 hour trip. About an hour into the drive, the car started to decelerate from 75 down to 40. I pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the car to cool so that I could limp it to the dealership. I went to my local mechanic who determined the transmission had failed on a 6 year old car with only 78,000 miles. I took the car to Nissan who has confirmed. Something similar had happened in the past but the mechanic I had taken the car to said he was unable to replicate the failure.”
NHTSA complaint #11100437, filed 2018-06, 78,000 miles“Driving on highway averaging 80 MPH. I was not using cruise control. After 30 minutes of driving the vehicle begins to decelerate. I pressed the gas pedal further to accelerate, yet it had no effect. The vehicle speed dropped to 60 MPH. I put on hazards. The vehicle continued to decelerate to 50 MPH. This happened within a matter of seconds. I immediately made my way to the shoulder of the highway. During this time, the check engine light never flashed, nor did any other indicator light come on. The temperature gauge was well below the halfway point. …”
