What owners wrote
When traveling in the juke especially with the window down a bit there is a constant wave of heat coming up from the floor area behind the center console. The heat is enough to make your legs sweat. Upon finding the source I burnt my finger on a pipe that is behind the console with now insulation or wrapping. It makes the juke very uncomfortable to drive as it's always hot. I also feel there should not be exposed parts that can burn.
Im driving home from work and I stopped at a light while waiting the car jerks and service engine light comes on so I check oil which it did need a oil change so after getti h the oil change I notice my acceleration was slow and the car started making like a you car sound so I take my foot off the gas and press again and it started to pick up speed out still slowly
