The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure technical service bulletin 18-022 (juke fuel pressure sensor); however, the VIN was not included in the bulletin.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel. There was an abnormal odor of fuel detected. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor needed to be tightened and the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed him that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
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.
