rains and drastically reduces drivers visibility .i paid a small fortune to have the vehicle Heat and AC system tested at both Firestone (who referred me to a Nissan), I had taken a printed copy of the Firestone report to a Nissan dealership and they charged me a small fortune to run the same test Firestone did. I was told that to repair the core processor (located behind the dashboard) it would cost me approximately $5,000 to repair. I was also told I needed rear brakes. I am a senior citizen living on Social Security so this repair cost is far beyond my income capability. These dangerous conditions restrict me from going grocery shopping buying frozen foods, dairy products, and other groceries required to keep cold. The discolored headlamps are dangerous and this hazard restrictes me from scheduling late afternoon doctor's appointments and/or any driving at dusk or at night..

2014 Nissan JukeElectrical systemLightsVisibility & wipers

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. Unfortunately I do not have the dates/mileage but should be documented at the...

aforementioned dealership. So the dates/mileage stated is an estimation. The following is a more detailed explanation of what/how the components were affected. When I'm in an unknown area, I rely heavily on gps in my car, when it cuts out, I have no choice but pull over & wait it out, or hope to get cell service & use my phone's gps, not always an option. Each time it occurred is unexpected with no apparent reason. Every time is different, upon starting car, all electrical components are out/unusable. Happens when car is in motion at any speed. Navigation screen/radio goes black, controls unresponsive to all touch/pressure/turning/etc. I believe it is a possible loose wire connection or something similar, causing all electrical components being rendered unresponsive for various lengths of time. From moment of onset to the time it's operating normally varies from 30 min, up to 1-2 days. Components included are navigation/radio screen & all controls; all steering wheel controls; ac/radio knob controls; dash/instrument panel lights go out; driver side window/door controls become unresponsive. Dealership claimed they were unable to investigate further being the diagnostic tests failed to find any issues.

2013 Nissan JukeVisibility & wipers

I went outside to start my car to warm it up, I live in michigan and this happened during winter so it was between 15-25 degrees that night. I closed the door after I got out of my stationary vehicle, and the sunroof shattered. I did not close it hard, I do not slam my car doors. There was no chips or cracks in the sunroof previous to it shattering. I read online about nissan having a recall for their sunroofs in another vehicle, something about faulty glass temperment and/or they used a thinner glass to save money.

2011 Nissan JukeVisibility & wipers

While driving on highway at 65 mph, the sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gun shot and glass flew everywhere inside and out of car. No road hazard or debris noted to cause any damage. No weather issues present. It was a clear day approximately 78 degrees f. The sunroof was closed at time of incident. It was extremely terrifying and caused confusion while travelling at highway speeds and trying to figure out what happened. This was a 4 lane highway with two lanes of traffic each way which could have been impacted would I have swerved or otherwise reacted to the sound or raining glass shards. Very dangerous situation.

Windshield wipers will turn on by themselves, run high speed for approx. 30 Seconds, stop (with wipers in active position - often blocking vision) pause for approx. 10-60 Seconds and restart. This has been non-stop for the last 2 days. I cannot control the speed or turn them on/off. I've read others with the same make/model/year have had the same malfunction. This is a dangerous issue. *Tr

Our car had been sitting in our driveway for 4 days while we were away on vacation. The morning after we returned we noticed that the skylight was raised and cracked. Upon touching the surface of the glass the entire window imploded into very small and uniform pieces of glass. The weather was cold (in the 20s) during the week, but there had not been any impact damage. No fallen branches or flying rocks. The car was parked in our driveway, approx 90 feet from the road. *Tr
