Purchased a Lemon :(

Sooooo as you know someone wrote off my Juke

Bought a new one from Arnold Clarks and literally 2 days later I have the following issues. When I rev between 2000/2500 rpm and then let the revs drops there is a 'flap' type noise coming from somewhere in the engine, sounds like a lid dropping. It's also VERY lumpy almost surging if trying to keep a constant speed.
Also start/stop light is flashing green on the dash

Anyone had any of these issues? I feel they have sold me a right lemon

2015 1.2 Dig-T Petrol #Help
P.s Their service dept are calling me first thing tomorrow.

Mine was the same, needed a software update, local Nissan dealer said it didn't! It eventually stopped on a very busy main road,Nissan sent out RAC ( after 6hrs, another story) RAC man says there's a software update for this engine! Take car to Nissan who keep the car 4 days, then ring to say all is well. Go pick car up, young lady on reception says it was a software issue and no, no one is available from service department to talk to me! Result car is a different vehicle, smooth very quick and fuel into the high 30s. Well pleased, but why all the fuss to get it done? Come on Nissan!

Hello,

do you know what did they upgrade?

thanks

Sorry no idea, service manager not available to comment,they did say "not heard of any problems with this engine" Car still running fine, not sure I trust it anymore, was thinking of swapping to a 1.6 dig t.

How long ago was that? As apparently mine had a software update at 9,000 miles but i don't think they have done it right.

I have an independent engineer coming tomorrow so he can write a report and test the car. So fed up with all this Arnold Clark and Nissan are being useless. Nissan's ''Visual health check' showed nothing - not surprised with it being visual!

Oh also , does anyone elses car have a loud knock on the revs? when you let them drop below 2500 rpm??

barrymarie · May 15, 2018

Mine was updated about 3 months since with about 12000 miles on clock. Car is now smooth quite and quick, still not sure I trust it. Barry

Maybe mine needs another update then :/ its like the timing is out or something strange :/

barrymarie · May 17, 2018

Yes, sounds like it needs something, if your local Nissan garage don"t help try another one, if you have one near bye.
