2014 Nissan Juke problems
The Nissan Juke (Japanese: 日産・ジューク, Hepburn: Nissan Jūku) is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan since 2010. Debuted as a production vehicle at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March, it was introduced to North America at the 2010 New York International Auto Show to be sold for the 2011 model year, and it currently slots below the compact Qashqai.
The second-generation model was revealed for the European market in September 2019, offering larger dimensions by utilising the newer Renault–Nissan CMF-B platform. The second generation marks the withdrawal of the model from most markets outside Europe and Australasia to make way for the Nissan Kicks.
The name "juke" means to "dance or change directions demonstrating agility", and is also derived from the word "jukebox".

Common 2014 Nissan Juke problems
The Nissan Juke, a subcompact SUV, has been known to have several common problems, particularly in the 2014 model year. The most significant issue is engine failure, which affects many owners early on. This problem is caused by a broken timing chain that damages the engine. For 2011 Nissan Jukes, this problem is covered by the TSB #SB-10055923-4231. Nissan has also released TSBs for engine-related issues on the 2014 model year, though not specifically for engine failure.
Another common problem with the Nissan Juke is transmission failure. Some owners have reported issues with the Juke's continuously variable transmission (CVT), including whining noises, slipping gears, and failure of the transmission
. This issue can be costly to repair and can make the vehicle difficult to drive.
In addition to engine and transmission problems, the Nissan Juke has also had issues with its electrical system. The Juke has a complex electrical system that can be prone to faults, particularly in older models. Common issues include problems with the central locking, windows, and dashboard displays
. These problems can be frustrating and can make the vehicle difficult to use.
The Nissan Juke's suspension is also known to have issues. The Juke has a firm and sporty suspension, but this can make it vulnerable to wear and tear, particularly on cars that have been driven on rough or poorly maintained roads
. Suspension issues can affect the vehicle's handling and can make it uncomfortable to drive.
Fuel system problems have also been reported in some Juke models. These issues can cause a loss of power and reduced fuel economy
. Rust is also a problem, particularly around the wheel arches and the bottoms of the doors
. This can be an expensive issue to fix.
To minimize the risk of encountering problems with a used Nissan Juke, it is important to have a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic or specialist who can identify any potential issues with the car. Additionally, obtaining a vehicle history report can help to check for any past accidents or maintenance issues

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-04-29
- VIN: JN8AF5MR4ET
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 25000 MILES. WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS AND A COUPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A CLUNKING/CLICKING NOISE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MOSTLY WHILE BRAKING. I'M THINKING EITHER THE TIE ROD ENDS OR MAYBE CV AXLE. I DON'T THINK A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 75,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE FAILING SUSPENSION PARTS. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM/RADIO SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK A COUPLE TIMES WITH NO COMMUNICATION FROM ANY BUTTONS. I COULDN'T TURN IT ON OR OFF, OR OPERATE ANY RADIO STATIONS. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINALS FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AND THAT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS TO CHANGE THE STATION/VOLUME SEEM TO WORK ONLY WHEN THEY WANT TO. AND THE VOLUME WILL SOMETIMES ERRATICALLY TURN EXTREMELY LOUD OR LOW WITH THE SLIGHTEST TURN OR THE KNOB/ONE OR TWO PUSHES OF THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN PARKED/AT LOW SPEEDS, OPERATING THE WINDOWS WILL CAUSE A DROP IN RPMS. THE AUTO UP FOR THE DRIVER WINDOW NO LONGER WORKS, WHILE THE AUTO DOWN STILL DOES. THE CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION NISMO. IT HAS LOW MILES FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ELECTRICAL AND SUSPENSION ISSUES AT THE MILEAGE/AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE READ THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NAV SCREEN. ALSO, I'VE READ MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS CAUSING RPM TO DROP. I HAVEN'T LOOKED INTO THE CLUNKING NOISE MUCH YET, BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I TRUST NISSANS BRAND AND KNOW THEY ARE EXCELLENT CARS THAT CAN BE DRIVEN FOR MANY YEARS AND MILES. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES AND FIND A SOLUTION IT WOULD MAKE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL BE MORE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR CARS AND HAVE FAITH THAT THEY AREN'T GOING TO BREAK DOWN/ HAVE TO DUMP LOADS OF UNNECESSARY MONEY INTO IT.

- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I LIVE IN ARIZONA; IT IS END OF APRIL AND YESTERDAY TEMPERATURES WERE 99-100 DEGREES. COMING BACK FROM PHOENIX ON HIGHWAY GOING 75MPH, RPM WAS AT 4000; ENGINE REVVING HIGH AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN- VERY LOUD AND NOISY. UPON GOING UP HILL, CAR STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN, FIRST TO 40 MPH, THEN TO 25MPH. AT THIS POINT I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW TO 20 MPH. ALL OF THIS WHILE MY FOOT WAS PRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR OF THE GAS PEDAL! ABSOLUTELY NO POWER! SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT KEPT ENGINE RUNNING.

SAME SCENERIO OF TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE- 75-80 MILES, PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO 75MPH ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND LOSING POWER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I WAS ON BUSY FREEWAY, LOTS OF TRAFFIC, AND SUDDENLY NO POWER WITH VEHICLE DECELERATING TO 60, THEN 50MPH WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. PROBLEM RESOLVED WHEN I GOT OFF FREEWAY AND LET THE CAR REST. BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT. YESTERDAY WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CAME HOME I GOOGLED MY SCENERIO AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG NISSAN OWNERS WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL OR BULLETIN ON THIS WITH A FIX??

Positive 2014 Nissan Juke car reviews

I bought a 2013 Nissan Juke SV yesterday and I'm still getting used to all the modern equipment in the car. But I'm really excited about my purchase! Nissan was fantastic and very supportive throughout the sale.
-
The fuel tank may be small and the mileage may be mediocre, but don't worry, you'll only have to fill up every 230 miles with premium fuel!
-
The Amanual Juke is an absolute blast to drive! The clutch, shift linkage, and synchos are top-notch, giving the vehicle a true sports car feel. It handles really well, with only moderate lean on aggressive cornering for a CUV, and the steering is quick and precise. The brakes also have a great feel. While there isn't much cargo area with the seat up, it's easy to quickly fold the seat down for normal Home Depot and Costco runs. If you need to haul larger items like a 4x8 sheet of plywood or an XMAS tree, a truck would be a better option. I was looking for a sporty driving vehicle with a little cargo capability (our BMW Convertible is no help there), and the little Juke is perfect for me. I definitely didn't want a CVT, as it would spoil the Juke's character.
-
It was quicker than I had thought. Although I would have preferred a manual, I still enjoy driving it. The 1.6 engine is faster than the 2.5 Altima. What a bummer about the CVTs!
-
I've had my 2012 Juke for 16 months and have already driven 26,000 miles! It's such a cute and sexy car, and it outperforms anything I've owned to date. I was really afraid I'd be disappointed after trading in my 2000 Wrangler, but NO WAY!! I absolutely love it!

Are you having problems with your 2014 Nissan Juke?
Roel Pfeffer 2025-01-01
Nissan's CVT transmissions have been a source of frustration for many customers, including myself. Despite having to replace mine at the dealership under 100,000 miles due to overheating and lack of horsepower, the issue resurfaced after only 30,000 miles, resulting in another costly $300.00 flush. When I contacted Nissan, their response was a list of information that did not pertain to my vehicle and a request to return to the dealership. However, I remain confident that Nissan will address this issue and provide a satisfactory solution for their customers.
Darius Friesen 2024-05-04
I wanted to share my experience with this vehicle. While it has a great selection of colors, I found it to be unreliable and unsafe. Unfortunately, I had to replace the tires before I even reached 15000 miles, and the windows are quite fragile. I also had an issue with the windshield, which had to be replaced. Additionally, the gas mileage is not great. I hope this information helps others make an informed decision when considering this vehicle.
Alexis Dickens 2024-03-15
I purchased my Juke used about 8 months ago and was thrilled. I loved its unique appearance and after researching it, it appeared to be a dependable car all around. Unfortunately, I was disappointed 8 months later. The first major issue occurred not even 2 weeks after driving it off the lot when it started stalling, which turned out to be a radiator issue. The dealership was helpful in getting it taken care of and it continued to drive fine afterwards. After fixing the radiator, I noticed a slight rattle on the highway. I didn't think much of it, but it continued to worsen for a few months before I decided to get it checked out. It turned out that the axles had rapidly deteriorated and needed to be replaced, which was a hefty $1000 replacement. Not even a month later, the service engine light came on. I had the code read this morning and it turns out there is some problem that could range from as simple as a loose wire to a transmission issue that I won't be able to get checked out until Monday (It's new years eve as I write this). I really wanted to love this car, but I'm not sure if I just bought a dud or if the Juke is just not made to withstand my frequency of driving. My recommendation is to buy at your own risk. It's a cute car, without a doubt, but if you drive frequently, you might just find yourself making monthly payments via maintenance even if you paid in cash.

My daughter bought her first car from here while home from college this past summer. Unfortunately, within 30 days, on her way back to school, she experienced car trouble. After having a diagnostic done on the car, it was discovered that her transmission needed to be replaced. My husband and I went to Capital Hyundai and spoke with Rob Needham. Although we were disappointed to hear that the car was purchased 'as is', Rob was very understanding and empathetic towards our situation. We appreciate his willingness to listen and help us explore our options. While we have had issues with cars purchased from Capital Hyundai in the past, we are hopeful that we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I purchased my Juke second-hand from lovely sellers. Although the car had new winter studded tires and provided a secure driving experience on winter roads, the engine failed after approximately six months of use due to a failed lifter. Despite the high-pitched squeal from the air conditioner, the car's AWD system performed well. Unfortunately, the cost of a new engine is approximately 10k, which exceeds the initial purchase price of the car by 1k. However, I am confident that investing in a new engine will be worth it in the long run.
