My Nissan Juke shut off when I slowed down to a complete stop after getting off the highway. It sounds horrible when I turn the car on. Like a clicking sound. On youtube I looked up the timing belt issues with the Nissan Juke and it was the exact same sound. But there was only a recall on the v8 Nissan Juke so I couldn't get it in to the dealership. It also slows down when I go up to 60 to 70 mph. Engine · reported at 100,000 miles
