In owners' own words
Drive at 30-35 mph when my 2011 Nissan Juke stalled in the middle of the road. Had to pull over and immediately had to have car towed to dealership. Was told by the dealer the next day that the engine needed to be replaced due to the timing belt. My car has been in the shop for nearly 3 weeks and my car still is not fixed even with the engine being replaced in my car. My car only has 40,000 miles on it. Engine · reported at 40,000 miles
