Great driving vehicle. Enjoyed our time together. That is until it died without any warning. Guess what - it was the timing chain. No warning and no sign of any problem. It broke and left me in the middle of the highway. I was able to coast to the next exit and wait for a tow to the nearest Nissan dealer. I had no idea what the problem was. I thought it was electrical. They confirmed it was not electrical and it was the engine. But it would take 5 hours to take it apart to diagnose the problem. That means I would have to pay them $500 to tell me the engine was dead and needed to be replaced. The timing chain appears to be very common. Nissan was not helpful. It was just outside the warranty.
Finally not a cookie-cutter body type

Love at first test drive, love the quick throttle repsonse, never drove a car that was actually fun to drive ! this makes me excited for my daily 52 mile round trip to work. I sold my 06 Mazda 3i to get this Juke SV & it was the best sale I have ever made ! very smooth ride, quiet & the MPG is awesome ! similar size gas tank compared to my Mazda 3 & I seem to be using less gas in the Juke, so I have to wonder, all you reviews that said it gets horrible MPG do you never take it off the sport mode & drive like a maniac ? I love how the bullfrog body is like no other manufacturers out there, & it fits all my needs as a 4-dr since I plan on having kids somedays. motorcycle-like interior is cool!

We have had this car since March 1. The MPG is only averaging 18.5 MPG with 90% of our driving on the freeway. In town we get 13-15 MPG and the best we have ever gotten was 24.63 MPG in Economy mode 100% Freeway Trip. This car has had electrical problems where the radio goes off & the car dies/ won't restart and had to get a jump to get going again. (This has happen twice.) The dealer can't get any better MPG as we left it with them for a week. They couldn't find the electrical problem either. Economy mode is dangerous if crossing traffic and is not recommended by this motorist. I have owned other Nissan products but this JUKE is a JOKE. Don't by this car if economy is a concern!!
Engine, timing chain

I have owned several nissan trucks. I felt it was a solid brand. My oldest son has an 09 altima. Well over 150,000 miles no issues. I bought one of the first Titans made it had some issues, but nothing i could not fix myself. I don't complain much usually i just handle problems as they come up. My wife wanted a juke and i trusted the nissan brand so I didn't do as much research as i should have. The motor on the one she bought is total garbage. If you are considering buying one, you tube juke timing chains. 98,000 miles on ours. Engine was replaced due to recall before 36,000 but they never fixed the factory defect. No mechanic in middle Tennessee will do an engine repair on one. The best quote i have after calling everyone i know and 20 + others is 5200 to put in a new engine. Im selling it to a part dealer because i don't want to make it somebody elses problem. Now when i see a juke on the road i always listen. They all have the rattling timing chain rubbing on the cover. Seems like nissan would make more money selling replacement engines with a properly rated timing chain, but i cant find one. Don't do it. Just don't.

2011 Nissan Juke Timing Chain issue

I have a 2011 Nissan Juke 37k miles. I heard a ticking noise coming from the engine so took it to the dealership this morning. I called them back this afternoon to find out the diagnosis. All they said was there is a noise coming from the motor, so we need all your maintenance records before we will touch it. First of all I dropped it off and was told they would diagnose the problem and call me. 7 hours later I called them only to be told that if I wanted them to break down the motor then I would owe them a huge bill. I asked the technician what was wrong with the juke. He says sounds like timing chain and they are not wanting to fix the problem. Any suggestions out there???????
