2013 NISSAN JUKE — Complaint #1844253
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY:THERMAL MANAGEMENT:SENSOR/THERMOSTAT filed September 28, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1844253 (ODI reference 11486906) concerns a 2013 NISSAN JUKE and was filed on September 28, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 25, 2022. The vehicle had 56,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to North Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:propulsion system:traction battery:thermal management:sensor/thermostat, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN JUKE cohort independently describe similar electrical system:propulsion system:traction battery:thermal management:sensor/thermostat failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 NISSAN JUKE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that the dealer had previously replaced the coolant system, fuel pump, and fuel injection high-pressure pump; however, the failure recurred while driving at 55 MPH with a fuel odor coming from the air vents while the A/C was activated. The vehicle was shaking and then inadvertently decelerated and lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the thermostat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
