Tl* the contact owns a 2012 nissan juke. while operating the vehicle, the odor of fuel was present inside the cabin. the vehicle was taken to dar cars nissan of rockville (15911 indianola dr, rockville, md) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pressure sensor was faulty. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 98,000. *tt *tr
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.
When turning on the air conditioning in the car after engine startup a very strong smell of gas enters the vehicle cabin. the fumes are very strong and unmistakable. this does not happen every time but happens often enough to be a concern. this started i would say within the past 4-6 months, not sure exactly when. did not take the vehicle to the dealership for concern, was waiting for an oil change interval to come up. i told the dealership about the issue when i took the vehicle for a timing chain replacement tsb. the dealership (weston nissan in davie, florida) has said that they could not duplicate the problem. gas smell/fumes entering the vehicle compartment is a safety/health issue especially when you have a child inside. *tr
