nissan logo

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 2015 Nissan Juke problems

The Nissan Juke, a compact crossover SUV produced since 2010, has been known to have several common problems that potential buyers should be aware of. These issues include transmission problems, electrical faults, engine problems, suspension issues, fuel system problems, and rust.

Transmission problems are a significant issue, particularly with the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the Nissan Juke. Some owners have reported whining noises, slipping gears, and failure of the transmission

. These issues can be costly to repair, and in some cases, the entire transmission may need to be replaced.

Electrical faults are also a common problem with the Nissan Juke, particularly in older models. The car has a complex electrical system that can be prone to faults, including problems with the central locking, windows, and dashboard displays

. These issues can be frustrating and may require expensive repairs.

Engine problems are another common issue with the Nissan Juke, particularly with regards to the timing chain. Some owners have reported issues with the timing chain, which can cause the engine to fail if not replaced at the recommended intervals

. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent these issues from arising.

Suspension issues are also a concern with the Nissan Juke. The car 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 problems can be expensive to repair, and in some cases, may require replacement of the entire suspension system.

Fuel system problems are another common issue with the Nissan Juke. Some models have had issues with the fuel system, particularly with regards to the fuel injectors and the fuel pump

. These issues can cause a loss of power and reduced fuel economy.

Rust is a significant concern with the Nissan Juke, particularly around the wheel arches and the bottoms of the doors

. This can be an expensive issue to fix, and in some cases, may require replacement of the affected parts.

In summary, the Nissan Juke has several common problems that potential buyers should be aware of. These issues include transmission problems, electrical faults, engine problems, suspension issues, fuel system problems, and rust. Regular maintenance and inspections by a trusted mechanic or specialist can help prevent these issues from arising or becoming more severe.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2022-08-29
  • VIN: JN8AF5MR0FT
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: 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.

Negative 2015 Nissan Juke car reviews

  1. Godfrey Hodkiewicz 2024-10-26

    I purchased my Nismo Juke four years ago and it has been a bit of a love-hate relationship. I was drawn to the Juke because I wanted an automatic, all-wheel-drive crossover. If you're considering buying a Juke, I highly recommend getting the warranty. Unfortunately, my transmission failed at only 68k miles, which was very disappointing. Despite this, the Juke performs exceptionally well in the snow, has quick acceleration, and is styled to my liking. However, the CVT transmission has been a bit of a nightmare.

  2. Lawrence McCullough 2024-08-05

    The car's styling used to be unique, but it seems like everyone has one now. Let's take a look inside. The carpeting could be improved, and it's surprising that there are no power seats. The air conditioning is struggling a bit in the current 85-degree weather, but it's still bearable. However, it might not be as comfortable in hotter climates. The XM radio cuts out frequently, which can be frustrating. The Bluetooth phone works fine, but it can be a bit repetitive to use. The navigation system requires the car to be stopped in order to enter a destination, which can be inconvenient. As for performance, there are some issues with hesitation and power, and the turbo doesn't seem to add much. The car also rides quite rough, and you can feel every bump in the road. Our Ford Explorer, which is built on a truck platform, actually rides smoother. Overall, there are some areas for improvement, but the car is still functional. Hopefully, any issues can be resolved in the future.

  3. Corbin Zboncak 2024-07-22

    My 2015 Nissan Juk with 27300 miles experienced engine and turbo failure. Despite having purchased the vehicle with only 27058 miles, the warranty did not cover the damage. The vehicle has been at the dealership since 12/21/2017 and I am currently working with them to resolve the issue.

  4. Walton Bogisich 2024-04-16

    That sounds like a tough ride! It's important to test drive on rough pavement if that's something you normally encounter. The climate controls can be a bit complicated with 12 buttons and 2 knobs that also function as knobs, and the display brightness is independent of the instrument cluster dimmer control and can only be adjusted while parked. Unfortunately, there's no storage in the console. On the plus side, the car has good MPG and performance, and a nice sounding stereo.

  5. Jocelyn Steuber 2024-03-06

    We have a 2007 Toyota Corolla and a 2013 Nissan Juke. Interestingly, we have had more problems with the 4 year old Juke than the 10 year old Corolla. However, we are still very happy with the Corolla, which has been a reliable car for us. Unfortunately, the Juke has had some issues.

Positive 2015 Nissan Juke car reviews

  1. Jaydon Bruen 2024-09-15

    Radio is a must! Why should I have to keep pushing a button over and over again? Oh wait, the juke is the only car without a scan button! Who was responsible for this oversight? I want my money back, but unfortunately it's too late. Now I feel silly for not checking for a scan button!

  2. Irwin Bednar 2024-05-15

    Your Juke sounds like a great little car! I'm glad to hear that the sensor problem was resolved and that you're enjoying it. It's always nice to have a reliable car that you can count on. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!

  3. Americo Schmitt 2024-04-22

    I absolutely adore this compact SUV! It's so easy to find a parking spot because of its compact size, and the gas mileage is fantastic. I love the unique look of the SUV, which is a style that people either love or hate. While there are a few things I don't like about the interior, such as the backseat having poor leg room and the armrest between the driver and passenger being too short and useless for me, overall it's a great vehicle. One minor issue I've encountered is that when I'm driving and want to charge my iPad by plugging it into the USB port, the radio cuts off because it's searching for music. Since I don't have any music loaded on my iPad, I end up driving in silence. However, I'm thrilled that I purchased a pre-owned certified vehicle with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, which is longer than the new vehicle manufacturer's warranty. As for the exterior, I absolutely love the Bordeaux Black color and the way it can look like either Bordeaux wine or black depending on the lighting. Since I have the Juke S, which is the basic model, I plan to add Nissan's Chrome Accessories to give it some extra flair. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my decision to buy the pre-owned certified 2015 Nissan Juke S in Bordeaux Black!

  4. Jasmin Willms 2024-04-13

    I really enjoy driving my Nissan Juke. It has a great pickup and I've received many compliments on it. I do have a few suggestions for improvement, though. Firstly, it would be great to have a designated spot for cell phones in the car. Secondly, the cup holders could be moved to a more convenient location. Additionally, some of my passengers have mentioned that a couple more inches of leg room would be appreciated. Lastly, the wipers can be quite noisy and distracting while driving. Overall, I think Nissan makes high-quality and stylish vehicles, and I'm very happy with my Juke-box (except for the wipers). Oh, and a little more elbow room wouldn't hurt either!

  5. Xavier Haley 2024-03-20

    I've had my juke for six years and I absolutely love it! Although I've had some work done to it, it still has a great look with the accent color on the mirrors and trim. Surprisingly, the inside is more roomy than you would think.
