My car has engine failure at 2 years old and 72k miles. i initially took my car to nissan at the fate and mileage listed above for a rattle in the engine area. was told it needed a new drive belt and tensioner. this was a misdiagnosis. the rattle gets worse, drive performance declines, rake the car back to nissan on 8/27. compression test reveals two cylinders at or below minimum specifications. i was told that i need a new engine. my own research has reveals several consumer complaints about the timing chain in the 2011 juke. many folks all over the internet are reporting that at approximately the same mileage as me, their car starts to rattle and when they take it in, they are told they need a new engine. most point to the timing chain. my service guy was reluctant to blame the timing chain and would say only that "sludge" was probably the culprit. it isn't. i really hope this issue is being monitored. it seems many people are hoping for a recall soon. *tt

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 nissan juke. the contact stated the engine failed and the battery drained excessively. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 90,000. the windshield made a squeaking and rattling noise when driving and going over bumps. it was almost a constant sound. the engine would idle and sputter, when stopped at a red light. when the consumer accelerated from the light, the vehicle stalled. it was determined the timing chain snapped and caused damage to the crank sprocket and chain. the times chains, guides, timing chain tensioner and crank sprocket were all replaced. the vehicle started but mis-fired due to the valves being bent. the engine block was then replaced, due to damage to the valve guides and piston tops. the vehicle had to be to towed to the dealer, because the vehicle was emitting blue grayish, colored smoke, and then stalled. updated 06/18/14
