2014 Nissan Juke

This year drew an ordinary 59 complaints for a Nissan Juke — the model's median is 87. What they were about is the unusual part: 6.8% of them mention burning, against 2.3% across the model's other years.

NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

How this was worked out

Every year of the Nissan Juke was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.

This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
