 I had heard that the Nissan Juke was known for its significantly problematic continuously variable transmission (CVT).  I really loved the shape and turbo performance of the vehicle, so I bought it and put thousands of saved money towards the purchase.  Once the car hit 34,000 miles, the transmission went and had to be replaced.  The dealership basically indicated that I was being overly concerned since "it's covered under warranty".  Firstly, I like to travel and don't appreciate getting stuck with a broken down car with no working transmission.  Secondly, it is great that it's covered under warrantly; however, when I purchase a vehicle, I plan on having it past the 100,000 mile warranty.  I've purchased many vehicles in my lifetime and drove them far beyond 100,000 miles.  As soon as they replaced the transmission, I traded it in at a different dealership and I made sure that my second new vehicle does NOT have a CVT!  They are cheap transmissions.  Unfortunately, many new vehicles on the market are using CVTs.  I paid a lot of money for a car that I kept for less than 2 years.   I say shame on Nissan Motor Company as I do believe they know of this significant issue but continue selling these cars.  I contacted Nissan Motor Company, but they couldn't care less.
