A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
When approaching an intersection to turn left, although I had my foot on the brake, the car wasn't slowing, speed was the same. When I began to turn the wheel, the steering wheel kept jerking right. It felt like something had locked up. The brakes continued to be ineffective and because the steering kept jerking to the right on a left turn, it rammed into the curb and caused injury to myself.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan juke. While the vehicle was stationary, a sharp piece connected to the driver's seat cut the contact's finger severely. Medical attention was not received. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 15,000.
Vehicle steering feels like it is hydroplaning on dry roads during highway speeds from time to time or like suddenly being hit with a gust of wind from the side on calm days and begins to swerve.

Vehicle started jerking and the RPM gauge was moving up and down while in motion. I had to keep breaking and pushing the gas as it would accelerate on it's own. We took it to get scanned at auto zone, scan said it's the transmission pressure sensor. Other nissan vehicles have had this issue with their CVT transmission.
