What owners wrote
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.
The contact owned a 2016 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that his wife had previously driven the vehicle and parked it. Approximately five minutes later, a coworker informed her that the vehicle had caught fire. There were no previous warning indicator lights illuminated. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was filed. There were no reported injuries or air bag deployment. An unknown Tesla parked and unoccupied next to the Nissan sustained fire damage.
The vehicle was moving in the a highway, when I was involve in a chain collision. The car in front of me hit the car in front of her. I hit the breaks, but I hit the car. The air bags did not activate, even when the car damage was substancial.
Was driving home around 6am after a rainy night when I took a turn and the front tires lost traction resulting in the front right passenger side striking a curb. The car was only going about 15 MPH when this occurred and there is minimal damage however the entire passenger side airbags deployed causing minor whiplash and bruising to the passenger although it feels as if it could have been much worse.
The juke has had intermittent stalling and no start issues. The car has stalled while in motion as well as parked at idle. Once it stalls, it will not immediately start again. The dealer has been unable to determine the cause, despite having to pay for towing several times. The local abc affiliate has done at least two reports of other nissan owner experiencing the same problem eluding to a heat related issue.
