ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A couple of weeks ago on my way home from school I could smell something burning. I stopped my car and started looking around to find that the front passengers seat was smoldering and burning a hole in my backpack, toque and the seat itself. The seat warmer switch was in the off position. My dad has since disconnected the wiring to the seat warmers on both drivers and passenger sides. This seems to be a safety issue. Has there been other complaints like this for these vehicles? We have not been to the dealer, we have contacted Nissan and were told the following "Your vehicle is out of warranty and therefore is not our problem" The car has 170,000 kms on it but this is a safety issue not a warranty complaint.

I purchased this Nissan 2012 from Hyundai Santa Maria. It has had a problem starting consistently. There are recorded records all over the net. Simply google Nissan Juke Push Button won't start. I have already spent some money trying to figure out the issue. People have been stranded in my car Calling triple A. It drains the batteries which are $250 each. Nissan indicates that the remote keyless entry that stalls in the accesory mode. It has been 10 yrs an people are having to dump their cars. Mine I pay $224 a month an 11k loan for it to sit in my driveway. It is a danger as if the car cannot be started in a hazardous situation then someone will die. The contact stated that Nissan has not offered any assistance so far. The contact was informed by Nissan that their vehicle does not apply to the recall and recommended that they pay for diagnostic testing.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have Change the battery every year for the last 3 years at no charge from Nissan. This year the battery acid came out and make some damages , which Nissan fixed at no charge due to (Collateral damage) Car stops accelerating out of nowhere even with the battery exchange Yes, Nissan service center has confirm that my car is not the only one having this issues , even there's cars that get battery exchange every 8 months . Nissan service center has checked this issue, but they just rather change the battery instead of checking why this is happening . decrease of acceleration starts around month 9 or 10, the difference right know is that even with the battery exchange is still happening.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEGAN NOTICING ISSUES WITHIN FIRST YEAR OF OWNING VEHICLE. EVERY OCCURRENCE WOULD TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP (GRAINGER NISSAN OF SAVANNAH, GA) TO GET CHECKED. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, EVERYTHING WOULD BE WORKING FINE. THEY DID A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE ELECTRICAL/NAVIGATION SYSTEMS EACH TIME WITH NO ISSUES BEING FOUND. I REQUESTED IT TO BE DOCUMENTED EACH TIME IN THE EVENT SOMETHING HAPPENED AFTER WARRANTY ENDED. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE THE DATES/MILEAGE BUT SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AT THE AFOREMENTIONED DEALERSHIP. SO THE DATES/MILEAGE STATED IS AN ESTIMATION. THE FOLLOWING IS A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION OF WHAT/HOW THE COMPONENTS WERE AFFECTED. WHEN I'M IN AN UNKNOWN AREA, I RELY HEAVILY ON GPS IN MY CAR, WHEN IT CUTS OUT, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT PULL OVER & WAIT IT OUT, OR HOPE TO GET CELL SERVICE & USE MY PHONE'S GPS, NOT ALWAYS AN OPTION. EACH TIME IT OCCURRED IS UNEXPECTED WITH NO APPARENT REASON. EVERY TIME IS DIFFERENT, UPON STARTING CAR, ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE OUT/UNUSABLE. HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED. NAVIGATION SCREEN/RADIO GOES BLACK, CONTROLS UNRESPONSIVE TO ALL TOUCH/PRESSURE/TURNING/ETC. I BELIEVE IT IS A POSSIBLE LOOSE WIRE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, CAUSING ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEING RENDERED UNRESPONSIVE FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME. FROM MOMENT OF ONSET TO THE TIME IT'S OPERATING NORMALLY VARIES FROM 30 MIN, UP TO 1-2 DAYS. COMPONENTS INCLUDED ARE NAVIGATION/RADIO SCREEN & ALL CONTROLS; ALL STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS; AC/RADIO KNOB CONTROLS; DASH/INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO OUT; DRIVER SIDE WINDOW/DOOR CONTROLS BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY WERE UNABLE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER BEING THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FAILED TO FIND ANY ISSUES.

RADIO//NAVIGATION COMPLETELY BLACK; INTERIOR LIGHTS EITHER STAY ON, FLICKER OR WON'T COME ON AT ALL. AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP & HAVING THEM TEST IT, THEY ALWAYS CLAIMED THEIR COMPUTERS DIDN'T CATCH ANY ISSUES. I REQUESTED THAT MY COMPLAINTS BE MARKED DOWN & SENT IN TO MANUFACTURER EVERY TIME. THAT BEGAN HAPPENING BEFORE 20,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TODAY (115,000 MILES). THE CAR HAS NEVER THROWN ANY CODES & NEVER HAD ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, OR ANY SUCH MECHANICAL ISSUE LIGHT NOTIFICATIONS COME UP ON DASH. THE CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER AROUND 75,000 MILES (OIL CHANGES, MAINTENANCE DONE ON TIME)'WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR WOULD SKIP, JUMP OR ALMOST STALL WHENEVER TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AT RECOMMENDED MILEAGE (100,000), NO CHANGE. ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING TO THE GAS STATION WHICH IS 4.2 MILES FROM MY HOME & BACK HOME, WHEN MILEAGE WAS AROUND 100,000 (CONVENIENTLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES) MY CARS A/C QUIT WORKING, AND THE CAR RAN INCREDIBLY HOT (WITH ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES). I NOTICED MY FEET WERE BURNING UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE DASH (WHILE DRIVING). PULLED OVER, POPPED HOOD-IMMEDIATELY SAW COOLANT RESERVOIR (PLASTIC RESERVOIR) WAS EMPTY, CHECKED OIL DIPSTICK AND NOTHING'NO OIL. 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS SITUATION I CHECKED FLUIDS (IN SOUTH GEORGIA DURING THE BE SUMMER IT'S INCREDIBLY HOT & I WAS TAUGHT TO KEEP AN EYE ON OIL/FLUIDS DURING EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE ROUGHLY A MONTH PRIOR TO THIS SITUATION AS WELL. AFTER THIS OVERHEATING PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED, MY A/C NO LONGER COOLED. RECHARGING DID NOTHING'DUE TO THE PERFECT TIMING OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRING THAT LEFT ME WITH NO ALTERNATIVE OTHER THAN ACCEPT MY FATE & THE UNBEARABLE GEORGIA HEAT.
