Overview

2014 Nissan Juke

The 2014 Nissan Juke presents a distinctive, if polarizing, design wrapped in a compact crossover package. It prioritizes a unique aesthetic and a somewhat engaging driving experience over outright practicality. Under the hood, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive delivers adequate performance. Fuel economy is respectable, with a combined EPA rating of 27 MPG. However, potential buyers should be aware of its average reliability rating, underscored by two recalls, one of which addressed a critical fuel leak risk. Despite no reported owner complaints, a high TSB count suggests other potential issues.

Critical Failure Risk

A recall addressed improperly tightened fuel pressure sensors, posing a fire hazard due to potential fuel leaks. While addressed by recall, residual risk exists if not properly serviced.

Early detection can help you avoid a $100-$300 repair.
