1 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem of the 2012 Nissan Juke

Failure Date: 09/03/2020

P4213 Juke f15 timming chain update ntb14-030, Nissan launched this voluntary service campaign on April 25, 2014 on certain 2011-2013 Nissan Juke vehicles to offer customers the opportunity to replace the timing chain, chain guides, and crank sprocket at no charge to the customer for parts and labor. On November 26, 2014 I took my 2012 Juke to temecula Nissan where on November 26, 2014 was taken for said recall, after 2 years of driving my car a soft clacking sound started to which on one of the oil change routine I asked temecula Nissan service repair person to check and he dismissed it as normal no problem. Fast forward to August 2020, the clacking sound is louder and my motor is not responding when accelerating. I once again on September 3, 2020 took my car to temecula Nissan for a diagnostic to reveal that it is in fact the timing chain which is causing the problems and has affected camshafts among other things that will amount to a total of $1,400. 00 just to be able to open the motor and see the extent of the damage caused by the faulty timing chain, not include total reparation of the problem. When I brought up the 2014 timing chain recall, at first they did not had any record of recalls for a timing chain on my car, to what I claim to have prove of it, the service technician dismissed it as an expire warranty issue that was fixed for free but currently out of warranty, I responded that that was not a warranty issue but a defective part recall, he insisted that regardless of being a recall issue it was once repaired and that was it. Now I am left with an auto that was perhaps never fixed and with a longstanding recall problem that persist. The timing chain causes my car to not respond when the acceleration pedal is pressed on either on a freeway or any intersection putting my safety and my family safety at risk.

9 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem of the 2011 Nissan Juke

Failure Date: 05/01/2014

My car developed a ticking sound, upon research and having a mechanic looked at it, the timing chain needs to be replace, being that this car was purchased brand new only 3 years, it should not already developed such a major issue. If the timing chain snaps the car will shut off most likely require a engine replacement. This is especially dangerous in highways and roads while driving.

10 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem of the 2011 Nissan Juke

Failure Date: 12/24/2013

A clicking noise. Dealership said it is the timing chain. Nissan does not care that so many people are having a problem with the timing chain. I do not have 2,300. 00 to fix it but if it does not get fixed then you need to replace the engine as a lot of other people had to do.
