The 2014NISSANJUKE carries 81 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 6 crashes, 2 fires, 4 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 4/5 rating, with 3/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2014 JUKE is engine with 16 filings, followed by electrical system (15) and power train (10). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2014 JUKE, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Please investigate air conditioning leak and create a recall. Dangerous fumes from evaporator core leak behind the dashboard sends out dangerous fumes through the vents. These fumes are extremely dangerous! Can cause driver and passengers to get very sick and light headed even with the climate control turned off! Nissan told me it would cost almost &5,000 to fix it! My car is only 2014 has less than 28,000 miles on it. I am a senior citizen on social security and donât have that kind of money! I was also said it needed new rear brakes. Air conditioner leak in the Evaporator Core blowing strong fumes inside the car cabin.

Air conditioner leak in the Evaporator Core blowing strong fumes inside the car cabin. I had taken my car into Firestone Complete Auto Care to have my air conditioner checked because it was blowing hot air and filling the cabin with a horrible odor that was making me dizzy. They told me that they would put Freon with a dye that would show any leaks. I was told that they did find a leak however they are unable to repair it. I was told and, The repair technicianâs report says â EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK â DASH REMOVAL WOULD BE REQUIREDâ. I was told the repair would take several days so I needed to take my car to the Nissan Dealership for the repair.I truly believe that this leak is a hazard to drivers. I believe that the very strong odor leaking Freon fumes blowing in to the cabin could cause a driver to become ill, dizzy, possibly disoriented, or possibly loose consciousness. Also, without climate control working, unable to defog windows during a heavy rain or snow storm could cause
A couple of weeks ago on my way home from school I could smell something burning. I stopped my car and started looking around to find that the front passengers seat was smoldering and burning a hole in my backpack, toque and the seat itself. The seat warmer switch was in the off position. My dad has since disconnected the wiring to the seat warmers on both drivers and passenger sides. This seems to be a safety issue. Has there been other complaints like this for these vehicles? We have not been to the dealer, we have contacted Nissan and were told the following "Your vehicle is out of warranty and therefore is not our problem" The car has 170,000 kms on it but this is a safety issue not a warranty complaint.

I just replaced my transmission and was told by the dealership of the CVT issues. It cost me almost $4k to replace when I picked up my car it was in worse condition and the turbo went. How convienant. Nissan has made my life so difficult and overwhelming and the service I've experienced is gross. I've put more money into this car then it's worth. Oh they also put wood blocks under my engine.

2014 Nisan Juke, 68,772 miles, makes high pitched noise and emits an acrid smell when going up steep mountain interstate highway, it then slows to a stop. No warning lights or high temp readings. Very dangerous to stop and stall on an major interstate. It seems to be a transmission problem. First time it happened, Empire Nissan dealer said it was fine, changed the oil and sent me off. 2nd time, actual breakdown, took it to a local mechanic who said it is probably a lock up, as in Code PO774. Now at different dealer Shomp, they are diagnosing and hopefully fixing it. There is a Class Action Suit about this Juke, CVT litigation, Nissan appears to have extended the warranty.

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
