Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that the fuel indicator illuminated.

I had a gas/exhaust smell coming into my cabin of vehicle and from my the outside of my vehicle. I took to my mechanic, where he confirmed that there was a gas leak and that Nissan had recalls on my type of vehicle for this reason. Told me to take to Nissan dealer for recall repairs. There were two recall id#: r1201 and r1418. The dealership said my VIN# didn't have a recall, despite the confirmation from my mechanic that there was a leak. I called national consumer affairs dept Nissan north America, talked with akash #7319300, case # 29075850, where I was told nothing is wrong with my vehicle and that I should have it fixed at my cost. It didn't have a recall, even after explaining everything. This is a safety issue and there are recalls for this, but they will not look or fix my vehicle under the recall. …

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.

Vehicle has been idling a little weird for a few weeks and yesterday my Juke hesitated a little before starting. After this the check engine light turned on and I got 2 codes because of it p0090 and p0087. I did some research and discovered that these codes come up from a faulty fuel pressure sensor which has been recalled a few different times. When I inquired from the Nissan dealership they told me my car had no recalls and I would need to pay almost $140 from them just to tell me what might need to be fixed. I can smell gas while the car is idling in my garage and my car has troubles shifting and starting. Juke is a 2012 with about 56K miles on it.

The fuel pressure sensor on my Juke has gone bad and I am being told that my car is not part of any recall. Soooo many other jukes have been on the recall and they won't fix my problem. They won't is diagnos the problem unless I pay them $140 to scan my Juke. My gas mileage sucks and I smell gas in the cab ocassionally. I contacted Nissan directly and got a email back telling me my car is not in the recall and I would need to take it to Nissan to diagnose what I already know is the problem. I'm really surprised Nissan isn't more concerned with this. I remember firestorm and Ford and a lot of lawsuits and deaths.

Noticed gasoline smell in car; smell got progressively worse. Fuel found leaking under car. Car taken to mechanic. Mechanic investigated leak and Nissan Juke recalls. Mechanic found fuel leak under intake -see recall 14V683. Nissan says not covered by recall. Intake removed and found the fuel pressure sensor not adequately torqued. Touched with wrench an spewed fuel. Then turned off by hand. Matches the symptoms of the recall exactly.
