Nissan Juke air conditioner blows hot air when stopped and loses power on uphill trips on Nissan Juke

Some Nissan Juke owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioning blowing hot air when stopped and a loss of power during uphill trips. This loss of power may indicate a damaged condenser or insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system. Additionally, the hot air from the air conditioner could be caused by a dirty cabin air filter, refrigerant leaks, or electrical system problems. Owners of the Nissan Juke 1.5 dCi may also experience power loss related to turbocharger issues, which can manifest as whining noises and excessive exhaust smoke. Furthermore, some owners find that their vehicle's loss of power is linked to CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) temperature problems, where the engine output is limited to protect the transmission, requiring a cooldown period before driving. It is recommended that affected owners consult a professional mechanic to inspect the air conditioning system, turbocharger, and CVT for proper diagnosis and resolution of these issues.
