VEHICLE INVOLVED: 2011 NISSAN JUKE SL AND HAS 4,192 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WE RAN OVER SOME DEBRIS WHICH PUNCTURED THE GAS TANK, CAUSING ALL OF THE GAS TO BEGIN POURING OUT OF THE TANK. WE HAD JUST FILLED UP THE 11.8 GALLON FUEL TANK AND HAD NO IDEA THE FUEL WAS LEAKING UNTIL WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY APPROX. FIVE MILES LATER. WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. FOR FEAR OF THE CAR EXPLODING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE FIREFIGHTERS WERE SHOCKED THERE WAS NOTHING PROTECTING THE FUEL TANK FROM ROAD DEBRIS BOUNCING UP AND PUNCH…

THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK FAILED STRANDING MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN TRAFFIC DURING A STORM WITH VERY POOR VISIBILITY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MULTI-VEHICLE WRECK WITH FATALITIES. LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND DIRECTED TRAFFIC IN THE RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPAIRS WERE MADE. *TR

Owner report 10667218 · 2014-12-19 (December 19, 2014)
STARTING APPROXIMATELY 12/1/2014, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WITHIN MINUTES OF STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL WOULD DIMINISH AS THE CAR WARMED UP, BUT WOULD NOT GO AWAY COMPLETELY. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPT., AND WERE TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. UPON TAKING THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED, THEY CONFIRMED THE FUEL LEAK WAS FROM THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR, WHICH IS THE PRECISE PROBLEM WHICH PROMPTED THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THEY DETERMINED THE RECALL S…

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 NISSAN JUKE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST I HAD TROUBLE FILLING UP THE TANK. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND A PLASTIC PIECE FROM A PLASTIC GAS CAN STUCK IN THE TANK. FROM THE MOMENT I PURCHASED THE CAR, WHENEVER I FILL IT WITH GAS, MY CAR, CLOTHES, GARAGE AND FIRST LEVEL OF MY HOME SMELLS LIKE GAS. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2012. I BELIEVE THAT WHOMEVER SERVICED THE CAR FOR THE 2012 RECALL DID NOT DO IT PROPERLY. FOR THE PAST WEEK AND …

WORST WHEN AIR IS COMING IN FROM OUTSIDE AND NOT REUSING THE CABINS AIR. MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS AND TOLD ME ABOUT A RECALL ON JUKES. MY JUKE IS NOT APART OF THE RECALL AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR RECALL BECAUSE OF IMPROPER TIGHTEN…
