Timing Chain: National Consumers reported my vehicle replaced the timing chain in 2018 prior to my ownership. Now it has failed again to the tune of $3K at 88K miles. The Nissan Dealership will only guarantee warranty for 1yr or 12k miles which seems sub par. How can a voluntary recall on the timing chain only be effective up to 2014 when obviously it seems to be a problem with the whole engine design. I will not drop $3k every 3-4 years to replace a part that should last longer than a belt or at the minimum of 120k miles if not the life of the car. I-??m asking the National Consumers hotline to open another recall on this lemon. The additional issues are the car not starting, after replacing 2 good batteries within 2 years, an independent mechanic replace a relay between the brake and the ignition and it has worked ever since. Crossing my fingers-?? Also notable is the rinki-dink hood latch that quivers at high speeds. I often wonder when my hood will fly up into my windshield.

P4213 Juke F15 timming chain update ntb14-030, Nissan launched this voluntary service campaign on April 25, 2014 on certain 2011-2013 Nissan Juke vehicles to offer customers the opportunity to replace the timing chain, chain guides, and crank sprocket at no charge to the customer for parts and labor. On November 26, 2014 I took my 2012 Juke to temecula Nissan where on November 26, 2014 was taken for said recall, after 2 years of driving my car a soft clacking sound started to which on one of the oil change routine I asked temecula Nissan service repair person to check and he dismissed it as normal no problem. Fast forward to August 2020, the clacking sound is louder and my motor is not responding when accelerating. I once again on September 3, 2020 took my car to temecula Nissan for a diagnostic to reveal that it is in fact the timing chain which is causing the problems and has affected camshafts among other things that will amount to a total of $1,400 just to be able to open the motor and see the extent of the damage caused by the faulty timing chain, not include total reparation of the problem. When I brought up the 2014 timing chain recall, at first they did not had any record of recalls for a timing chain on my car, to what I claim to have prove of it, the service technician dismissed it as an expire warranty issue that was fixed for free but currently out of warranty, I responded that that was not a warranty issue but a defective part recall, he insisted that regardless of being a recall issue it was once repaired and that was it. Now I am left with an auto that was perhaps never fixed and with a longstanding recall problem that persist. The timing chain causes my car to not respond when the acceleration pedal is pressed on either on a freeway or any intersection putting my safety and my family safety at risk.

My Nissan Juke shut off when I slowed down to a complete stop after getting off the highway. It sounds horrible when I turn the car on. Like a clicking sound. On youtube I looked up the timing belt issues with the Nissan Juke and it was the exact same sound. But there was only a recall on the V8 Nissan Juke so I couldn't get it in to the dealership. It also slows down when I go up to 60 to 70 mph.

My vehicle had started to struggle with losing speed/power while on the highway approximately one week ago. Began to notice a rattling noise along with oil leaking from my vehicle's engine a few days ago. Took it into the Nissan service department right way. Today I was informed that the timing chain had been stretched and was scraping against my engine, creating a hole and requiring a new engine. If I had been on the highway when my timing chain completely failed I could have been seriously injured or dead. Nissan quotes me at 9000+ dollars to replace my engine. They had a 'voluntary service campaign' back in 2014 for defective timing chains in 2010 - 2013 Nissan Jukes. I bought my Nissan from an authorized dealership in 2014, never received any notice nor did any Nissan service department notify me of the issue when I brought my vehicle in.

I arrived at an out of town destination to find I had oil covering the motor. Mechanic stated there was a 2" gash in the front cover of the timing chain, which was coming from the inside out. Google search revealed there was a previous recall for the same issue but when I contacted Nissan, they said my vehicle was manufactured at a different plant and was not covered under recall. Mechanic fixed the vehicle and stated the issue was definitely a manufacturer's defect and was not caused by wear or negligence.

The service dept said needed time chain replaced. Went back, noted timing chain replaced per recall on 4/6/15 @mileage 6/05. 8/3/18 mileage 111830- timing chain only lasted 50,779 miles count. The part only last 50,779 miles @ documentation, but has been ticking for several weeks. I have spoken and niacin North America, they only warranty for 12 months or 12,000 miles on replaced parts.

We also have receipts from where we did have the oil changed.
