| Description of the problem | My 2012 nissan juke would not accelerate above 75 mph, despite the gas pedal being completely pressed down ("pedal to the metal"). A distinct smell of gasoline was noticed in the cabin. I took my juke to a mechanic, who said the problem was fuel leaking through the fuel pressure sensor. Though there is currently a recall campaign for some 2012-2014 nissan jukes (reference nhtsa 14v683000), my specific vin was not included. I request that this recall be investigated and expanded. A fuel pressure sensor is not something that would be within the expected regular maintenance of any vehicle, and is very likely a defect stemming from manufacturing. Communication attempts with nissan north america have been rather disappointing. This is a known issue with many of the nissan juke vehicles, but nissan north america is not willing to provide any repairs for my vehicle. |
