Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan juke. While driving approximately 20 MPH at night, the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of the preceding vehicle. None of the air bags deployed and there was no warning indicators. A police report was not filed. The contact drove the vehicle to an auto body shop and later contacted the insurance company. The contact sustained injuries that later surfaced, which required medical attention. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,500.
I had a hard on collision to the back of another car traveling at well over 25MPH. My body hit the steering wheel so hard that my sternum was cracked d own the middle. None of the airbags deployed. They should have. If not for the seat belt I would be dead.
Car ran a stop sign and I broad sided her at 30 miles an hou in my 2014 nissan juke. She was going 30miles an hour too too. The front airbag did not deploy. Nissan inspected the car and said that everything worked fine. I have a cracked sternum and two badly bruise knees. I want you to investigate this crash as my daughter is driving a 2012 nissan juke and it may have the same faulty airbag,
While driving my 2014 nissan juke it went from 70 to 20 on the interstate and I was almost ran over by large trucks that were unable to stop. This has happened multiple times. While driving to work this time, it dropped in speed again and the rpms went over 6 but the car would not move. I push the gas to the floor and nothing happens. I am afraid to drive my car home from work due to impending death concerns.
Began noticing issues within first year of owning vehicle. Every occurrence would take it to dealership (grainger nissan of savannah, ga) to get checked. By the time I got to the dealership, everything would be working fine. They did a computer diagnostic test on the electrical/navigation systems each time with no issues being found. I requested it to be documented each time in the event something happened after warranty ended.
