4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2015 Juke draws the most complaints around the engine and powertrain. On the engine side, owners frequently report unexpected deceleration while driving at highway speeds, sometimes accompanied by jerking, loss of power, or the vehicle entering a reduced-power mode that makes it difficult to accelerate or merge safely. Starting failures also come up across multiple reports. Powertrain complaints overlap closely, with owners describing transmission-related issues including stiff or unresponsive behavior, vibration, and the need for transmission repair. A smaller cluster of complaints involves vehicle speed control, where owners describe unintended speed drops without any warning light appearing beforehand. A handful of isolated reports mention other issues, a sunroof shattering spontaneously and fuel fumes entering the cabin, but these don't represent a recurring pattern across the complaint set.
