My sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving 25 mph and no other cars around me. This seems to be a regular problem known to Nissan but Nissan will take no responsibility for THEIR defective product. $2000 for Nissan to replace.

Transmission 1

Driving from Vegas to Los Angeles and 105 plus degree weather car went into limp mode unexpectedly in in 65 mph traffic in the fast lane was almost rear-ended could not accelerate to get off the side of the road for about 5 minutes. Car was jerking and not accelerating pulled over to check out what was wrong smelled burning fluids car would start but would no longer move. About 45 minutes to an hour later after checking all the fluid levels making sure they were at the appropriate level, restarted vehicle attempted to drive home car kept going into limp mode had to keep pulling over. Took the card to dealership because I heard there was some sort of problem with the transmissions and they should have been under warranty when I got there they told me after they try a temporary fix and it would take at least 30 days to get a new transmission (technically not new rebuilt same transmission that is flawed in the first place)for my car even though it was one of the transmissions pertaining to the bulletin issue by the Nissan corp. My car now lacks acceleration is still having difficulty going right into gear and makes an audible (inside the cabin of the vehicle) grating sound whenever I drive it Putting back in a rebuilt transmission that is bad because it doesn't have a large enough cooling system for it doesn't make any sense to me. It creates a hazard every time I drive in 100° weather or above I'm going to have to worry about possibly being rear-ended on the freeway because the car goes into the mode with no warning. A few minutes after lymph mode the check engine light will come on but not until after the car hits limp mode.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 NISSAN JUKE (70+ MPH) ON THE HIGHWAY THE CVT STYLE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING STRANGE. IT WOULD REV UP AND BOTTOM OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK/LURCH A LOT. AT JUST UNDER 90,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THAT STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. THE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT 90,000 MILES THERE WAS LEAKAGE UNDER THE VEHICLE THAT APPEARED TO BE THE AWD TRANSFER CASE. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AT 94,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD I NEED THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE SEAL REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD TWO FRONT END COLLISIONS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NEITHER TIME DID THE AIR BAG DEPLOY. HOW CAN I TRUST MY AIR BAG? I FAILED TO YIELD TO AN ON COMING VEHICLE AND THE TWO VEHICLES MADE CONTACT AT A SPEED OF ABOUT FIVE MILES AN HOUR. THE TROOPER THAT INVESTED THE ACCIDENT, LISTED THAT THE SPEED AS 35 MPH. SO, I'M NOT SURE.

WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT, ALTHOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WASN'T SLOWING, SPEED WAS THE SAME. WHEN I BEGAN TO TURN THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL KEPT JERKING RIGHT. IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING HAD LOCKED UP. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO BE INEFFECTIVE AND BECAUSE THE STEERING KEPT JERKING TO THE RIGHT ON A LEFT TURN, IT RAMMED INTO THE CURB AND CAUSED INJURY TO MYSELF.
