My transmission went out pre-maturely on the high way and I almost got rear-ended. It’s a CVT transmission which has had a class action lawsuit which I wasn’t aware of when I bought car in 2020. Nissan should hold more responsibility but they refuse to help my basically totaled car.

Transmission went out.
Oct 17, 2023
At approximately 130K miles the CVT transmission had a sudden failure. Struggles to shift gears properly and often will pick a random one, which causes further damaged. Vehicle has sat for years, the transmission is unrepairable and a new unit must be installed which cost around $3500 for the transmission alone not including labor as told by the Nissan dealership. I now sit with a giant paper weight that is useless and worth nothing. Manufacturer should be held responsible as this issue exists and has been recalled in other models and years with the same transmission or issue.

The car is constantly jerking and losing power. The car has been towed for not responding after acceleration. Mechanic has told me it is the transmission. Car only has roughly 86k miles on it. Not safe to drive at all.

CVT Transmission slip and judder. Upon full stop, only drives after turning ignition off and on again. Getting stuck at traffic light stop and holding up the traffic for 30 seconds every stop is a safety concern for myself and others. P0868 - FLUID PRESS LOW P0965 - PC SOLENOID B P17F0 - CVT JUDDER (T/M INSPECTION) Vehicle has been inspected and diagnosed by Nissan dealership. There has been no warning lamps to warn of the issue, other than check engine light.

Hi, I am writing to express my concern regarding a recurring issue with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note. Recently, I noticed that the vehicle emits a noticeable noise when the engine reaches 1500 to 2000 RPM. Upon consulting a mechanic, I was informed that this problem is common with the CVT transmission in Nissan Versa Note models. The mechanic advised that the transmission needs to be replaced, as this defect poses a significant hazard. There is a risk that the transmission could fail without warning, compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. Given the severity of this issue, I request that Nissan initiate a recall to address and rectify this problem promptly. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Heat shields for exhaust system particularly protecting the gas tank from high heat tear easily at bolts making a rattling sound as a first symptom. This causes cracks in the heat shield which is flimsy, thin material. It poses a risk to drivers in that the gas tank could explode due to lack of protection or from poor protection from heat of exhaust. The sheer number of Nissan Versa and Versa Plus heat shields failing is alarming.

When I was driving normally on a hot day(90 degree), in on and go traffic, the lights of Engine, brake, battery, power steering suddenly all lighted up and the Engine stalked any the same time without any warning. Brake, power steering, oil pedal all stopped working. At that time, the AC was not in use so it would not be a problem. I turned off the Engine, and turned on it again and everything worked normally again. I brought my car to check the battery, charging system, starting system. All good. Also, I check all fluid levels(brake, transmission, engine oil, coolant, window wash fluid) which were all normal. I am the first owner of the car. The car was well maintained and gently used, and only has 15,000 miles. The most recent oil change was two months ago and it was also inspected by the Nissan dealer that time without any problems. This is very dangerous for my family. That time I was driving in the heavy traffic on high way, when the engine stalked suddenly and my car lost power, my car was hit by a SUV behind me. I researched this problem online and found I was not alone. Many people experienced same thing as a Nissan Versa owner. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFrQBnIxyq8&ab_channel=KTNVChannel13LasVegas)

AIR BAGS
23 complaints
I had an accident, and it was pretty bad and my air bags did not deploy. The car might be a total loss and I was very surprised and concerned that the bags did not deploy. Even my phone detected the crash and alerted my family members. That happened immediately after the crash.
Oct 11, 2024
I was the driver, and was tbone by someone on passenger side. My speed was 33mph, none of my airbag went off. I've became injuried badly since the accident. The vehicle came straight from manufacturer to dealership, then to me. No accidents was reported before mine. No, I didn't see any warning light, everything looked okay, I bought this car from dealership, was told no problem with it, unfortunately it took an accident to find out the hard way.

SERVICE BRAKES
13 complaints
I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. AS I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT I BEGAN TO GRADUALLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. THE PEDAL FELT LIKE NORMAL RESISTANCE WAS THERE WHEN PUSHING ON IT WITH MY FOOT, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, LOOKED AT MY FEET TO MAKE SURE I WAS ON THE BRAKE, THEN SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL ONCE AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND LOCKED UP ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. ONCE I REALIZED THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND I REAR-ENDED THEM. AS I FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE THAT I HIT TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD ENGAGE, BUT NOT WITH THE NORMAL LEVEL OF RESISTANCE. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION WE WERE GOING TO PULL OVER AT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY. WE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION UNLESS THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. WE CHECKED BACK WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH AN INVESTIGATION AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND THAT THE FRAME IS DAMAGED.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, NEEDED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO SWITCH FOOT QUICKLY FROM GAS TO BRAKE PEDAL. REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND TOTALED MY NISSAN VERSA. AN EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT WAS NECESSARY. WE LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL LAST WEEK THROUGH A MAILING TO OUR HOUSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR 'USED' THROUGH CAR MAX, SO IT TOOK AWHILE FOR THE RECALL NOTICE TO FIND US.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND LOSES ALL POWER AND STEARING
Apr 05, 2019
ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 4TH 2019, AFTER EXISTING THE EXPRESS WAY MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLOW DESPITE BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, AND I BEGAN TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD ONLY ROLL. THE VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER AND WAS AT A SLOW ROLL. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AT IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS DEAD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I SENT THE CAR TO THEM ON A FLATBED ON TUESDAY. AFTER A DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND WHAT HAD CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT SENT A SIGNAL SAYING 'I WAS ON THE BREAK AND NOT THE GAS". ON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MECHANIC, I EXPRESSED MY CONFUSION BECAUSE THERE WERE NO INDICATION OF AN INOPERATIVE LIGHT BULB OR AN INDICATOR IN THE VEHICLE TO SUBSTANTIATE ANY FAILURE. I WAS TOLD "THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANY WARNING OR INDICATION" BY THE MECHANIC. I CONTACTED NISSAN, A REPRESENTATIVE FOLLOWED UP AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME AFTER TALKING TO THE REPAIR SERVICE. WHEN THEY DID CONTACT ME AGAIN REGARDING MY CONCERNED ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I RAISED THE QUESTION OF HOW CAN A VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND COME TO A STOP WITHOUT NO INDICATION AND I WAS TOLD "THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS". THE CAR MALFUNCTION PUT MY LIFE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NISSAN HAVE NEGLECTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY.

the problem in my car is ethier the transmission or transmission control module. The transmission started slipping and then suddenly on the hey of 395 north bound it simply just wouldn't do anything it had no reaction at all right in the middle of the freeway and there I was stuck people at 65-70 miles an hour whizzing by me not to mention simi trucks.tge reason I am writing is I looked up the problem at it is a very common problem with this year and make of the car. I went to nissan here in reno nv and they will not honor the recall sayes it is because of a branded title. The car had been wrecked only damaging the front bumper. Nothing to the motor or transmission was rebuilt but because it had previously been turned in as an insurance claim nissan of reno will NOT honor the recall. Any damage that was done was cosmetic not to the motor or transmission. I would like to know if nissan should honor the recalls on my vehicle. It has 98,000 miles on it and falls under the 10 year under 120,000 miles. The service person I talked to treated me like I was dumb and pretty much pushed me out the door and told me that they don't have to honor it. I am tempted to get ahold of previous owner to see if his insurance claim had anything to do with this transmission issue. It has one complaint after another on YouTube over this very issue. Please help me I don't know what to do. Thank you.

I NOTICED THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND JERKS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE PREVENTING ME FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THE COST OF A NEW ONE IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 72,XXX MILES ON IT.

The floor mat of the driver side has two (2)plastics hooks to hold the mat in place. If the hooks are broken or missing the mat slice of the accelerator and brake paddle. If the mat is on top or bottom of the paddle, it interferes with the brake or accelerator. These are two (2) plastic hooks. I called the dealer and Nissan does not offer these parts, the plastics hooks. The only offer the WHOLE carpet with the hooks for $500 plus. This is absurd. This means that I need to pay $500 for TWO plastics hooks. Remember if this hooks are not holding the mat an incident can occur. In my opinion, this is a safety issue. Nissan SHOULD have this parts available or provide parts more durable, no plastic parts.

THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE DOORS IS HAZARDOUS AS IT LIMITS VISIBILITY. ALSO THE BACK IS LIMITED AS WELL. I WAS BROADSIDED OR SIDESWIPED AND IT WAS NOT MY FAULT YET THE WAY THEY WROTE THE REPORT PUT ME AT FAULT.

MY CAR JERKS WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. ALSO, WHEN I LET PUSH FOR THE GAS, IT JERKS. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST GET OFF THE GAS. THEN WHEN I GET TO FOURTY MILES, IT JERKS AGAIN. MY MALFUNCTION LAMP LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK IT AT ONE OF THE AUTO ZONES IN FAYETTEVILLE NC. THE ASSOCIATE CHECK IT WITH A MACHINE. IT CAME UP P285A CLUTCH B PRESSURE DISENGAGEMENT PERFORMANCE. THEN, I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. HE CHECKED IT WITH HIS MACHINE, HE SAID IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD FIX MY TRANSMISSION.

I purchased my car 2 years ago from a used car dealership. It began to give me problems a few months after that. I then took my car to Nissan to be reprogrammed for free back when there was an open recall on my car when I found out it had too many miles for the warranty that would allow the transmission to be replaced. I've been driving it since and doing normal maintenance on it regularly. It recently began giving me trouble. I had to pull off the interstate because it would not accelerate and could have easily gotten into a car accident. I took it back to the dealership where they will be performing a diagnostic study on the car.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED TO 10 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE.

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, SUNDAY , APRIL 3 AROUND 12:30 PM, TEMPERATURE AROUND 40 DEGREES, SUNNY CONDITIONS, NO RAIN. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF ACCELERATION FROM THE FOOT PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR STILL HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS PROVIDED FROM THE SELLER, HERTZ, SO WE PUT LESS THAN 100 MILES SINCE THE PURCHASE. THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO ANY MOVEMENT FROM ON THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING NEUTRAL AND PARK. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, ETC. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE RETURNED AFTER THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON. THE 2014 VERSA HAS FLY- BY- WIRE THROTTLE, SO DIRECT LINKAGE IS NOT BROKEN, THIS SUGGESTS EITHER A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION OR AN INTERMITTENT APP SENSOR. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET, SEVERAL NISSAN AUTOMOBILES OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE VERSA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS WITH THIS REFERENCE, COULD YOU PROVIDE THE SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER SO THAT I CAN TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IF IT WERE TO OCCUR IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGH SPEEDS, THEREFORE I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH NHTSA. I FEEL THIS POTENTIALLY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUPPORT YOU CAN PROVIDE WITH SERVICE BULLETINS, OR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE OTHER NISSAN RECALLS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL IN TRAFFIC I MAY BE CONTACTED AT [XXX].

VEHICLE MOVES ABRUPTLY LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN MOVING. HAPPENS MOST OBVIOUSLY WHEN AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW OR COAST FOR A MOMENT AND THEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP AGAIN. WORKS THE SAME WHEN SHIFTING (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AT LOW SPEEDS. TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, BUT COULD FIND NO CAUSE OR SOLUTION--IT IS NOT GROOVES IN THE ROAD OR TIRES OR SUCH THINGS. ONE MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN, WHO SAID THEY'VE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ABOVE 30-40 MPH AS THE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END IS SIGNIFICANT AS DESCRIBED. IT'S NOT THE STRUTS, NOT THE CONTROL ARMS, ETC. NO CODE COMES UP FOR ANY ELECTRONICS ISSUE. IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. WHEN I PLACE THEY KEY INTO THE IGNITION, THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINS LOCKED, PREVENTING THE SWITCH TO TURN. IT TAKES A GREAT AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND STRAIN TO UNLOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. MY CAR HAS 2200 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY (09/29/2014). I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME (MY INTERPRETATION OF THEIR ADVICE) TO WRESTLE WITH IT UNTIL IT UNLOCKS. DIDN'T HELP MY SITUATION. I WILL CONTINUE TO RETURN TO NISSAN UNTIL THEY FIX IT. *TR

VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. STARTED HESITATING TO ACCELERATE AND TOOK LONG TO SHIFT (THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAR STARTED JERKING AND WOULD NOT GO PAST 10-15 MPH. PULLED OVER, BROUGHT GEARS BACK DOWN TO THE PARK POSITION, BUT THAT ONLY MADE IT WORSE. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND HAS BEEN STUCK NOW FOR A WEEK. STARTED RESEARCH ON VEHICLE AND LEARNED MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THIS CLASS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND WILL NOT FIX. WHY NOT?? THEY APPARENTLY BUILT A FAULTY VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE GETTING A LAWYER.

I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL IN VENTURA WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. PRIOR TO THAT THE CAR WOULD JERK LIKE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND WOULD HESITATE. FINALLY THE CAR WOULD GO FORWARD AND I HAD TO STOP AT VONS FOR THE CAR TO BE TOWED. I WAS 58 MILES FROM HOME. IT WAS REALLY SCARY BUT I WAS FORTUNATE THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BEHIND ME AND THE CAR DID NOT RUN OFF THE LEDGE.
Jan 06, 2020
AROUND 65,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE CTV / AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR SOMETIMES JERKS/SHAKES AS I ACCELERATE AND TAKES LONGER THAN IT USED TO TO SPEED UP. THIS HAS PUT ME IN IMMEDIATE DANGER SEVERAL TIMES - FOR EXAMPLE, SWITCHING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY, I CAN NO LONGER BE CERTAIN THAT I WILL SWITCH LANES IN TIME FOR THE OTHER CARS NOT TO HIT ME. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT MAY BE MY TRANSMISSION FLUID - I GOT THE FLUID CHANGED IN AN OFFICIAL NISSAN SHOP IN NORWELL, MA. THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED - AND WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN SHOP AGAIN, THEY SAID IF THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS NOT RESOLVED AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP.

Nov 01, 2019
IN MOTION. THIS CAR WOULD VIBRATE WHILE STEERING (TURNING) AND ACCELERATING, FORCING THE RMPS TO FLEX UP WITHOUT GAIN OF POWER. THE RPMA WOULD RANDOMLY FLEX UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT A MAINTAINED SPEED. THEN A DAY AT A STORE I TURN THE CAR ON, WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AN IT STALLED OUT- 5 TIMES TO GET TO TO MOVE. THEN IT WOULD STALL OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP/AT A STOP/STILL IN GEAR (DRIVE) SO I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM IT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP OR AT A STOP. UNTIL ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I DIDN'T NEED TO COMPLETELY STOP AS I TURNED TO ANOTHER ROAD BC NO ONE WAS COMING, AS I USED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN MY SPEED THE RMP FLEXED UP AND DOWN BUT MY SPEED DECREASED LEADING TO THE CAR STALLLING OUT ON SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AND TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT AGAIN STALLED OUT, AFTER THAT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AN IT GOT TOWED TO MY PLACE WHERE IT SITS AND DOESN'T START OR MOVE, IT HAS 3 RECALLS COME TO FIND OUT AN I CONTACTED NISSAN WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME TO GO CALL NISSAN. SO PRETTY MUCH I'VE GOTTEN ZERO INFORMATION AN A RUN AROUND. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING 60MPH OR MORE AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND EVERYTHING LOCKS UP. WILL BE TRYING TO START THIS CAR TO DETERMINE IF IT SHOULD NEED TO BE TOWED 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA S WILL NOT EXCEED 23 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON 12/26/15 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SEVERAL HOURS LATER SAYING THE CAR WAS FINE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN 12/28/15 I WAS LEAVING A FROM A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 23MPH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DRIVE IT SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT I MEANT. THEY DID DRIVE IT AND SAID THEY WILL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND WOULD DIAGNOSE MORE TOMORROW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SURE,.

VEHICLES NEEDS JUMP START EVERY TIME AND THE VEHICLE STOP. NEED TRANSSMISSION REPAID
Dec 31, 2021
I have been taking my car to nissan since my purchase. I was having cooling issues, radiator issues, and car not starting. with all these issues and years of repairs..my CVT transmission finally went out. I had no clue as they were fixing and servicing this car. I call nissan affairs dept as i had to pay $5050.00 to replace it out of my pocket! Nissan states out of warranty 5 months ago!!. I inquired to why i was NEVER contacted about transmission issues and problems or the opportunity to be included in the civil action with this vehicle. They CLAIMED they had the old owners information which is a LIE as i have received prior documentation for warranty notifications in my name! excuse after excuse to not help me. that got me good with the 5050.00 for an ongoing issue for this vehicle. NISSAN does not help at all!

THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WAITING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. STUDDERING OCCURS WITH EXCELERATION. THERE IS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL DRAW SOMEWHERE. IF THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN IN 3 DAYS, THE BATTERY MUST BE JUMP STARTED. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2017

CHECKED BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND TRIED TO RESTART, NO STARTUP. HAD TO CAR A TOW TRUCK TO GET IT TOWED TO HOME, THEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA. THE NISSAN SERVICE IN MY AREA HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA.

Regarding my 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with "continuous variable (cone shaped) transmission": I first noticed the transmission issue beginning October of 2020. When accelerating quickly, it feels like the transmission FREEZES, so I back off the accelerator and it usually kicks back into gear. When my husband first experienced it, he told me to shift to neutral and back to drive which seems to work; however being on a public thoroughfare and manually shifting gears to keep moving forward seems like a MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I have read several posts regarding this same issue. MY QUESTION IS: Why hasn't this American/Japanese automobile conglomerate addressed this SAFETY ISSUE WITH A TRANSMISSION RECALL?
Oct 21, 2021
WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN VERSA I NEED TO LET IT WARM UP COMPLETELY. WHEN I SAY COMPLETELY I MEAN WAIT ABOUT 10-15 MIN BEFORE DRIVING OFF. IF I DO NOT MY CAR WILL STALL WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES. SOME TIMES IT DOESNT BUT NOW THAT IT IS COLDER WEATHER IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. IF I DO LEAVE BEFORE IT WARMS UP I EXPECT IT TO STALL AT THE STOP SIGN, LIGHT, TURN, OR TRAFFIC. I USUALLY HAVE TO KICK IT INTO PARK TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL ITS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES IT WONT EVEN WANT TO WORK AGAIN UNTIL ITS WARMED UP SO SOMETIMES IM JUST STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TODAY MY CAR DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I WORK ONLY ABOUT 7 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND IT STALLED 5 TIMES.

BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION STALLING AND SLIPPING ISSUES WITHIN TWO MONTHS. MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DIED ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WENT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT FIX IT, NOR DO I THINK THEY EVEN LOOKED AT IT. MY CAR STALLS, SLIPS, GRINDS AND VIBRATES EVERY TIME I GAS IT. THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF OTHER TIMES MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND I'VE BEEN TO MY DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES DURING WARRANTY AND AFTER WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION, IN WHICH I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR IT, AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED MONTHS AFTER I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. I'VE TRIED LOOKING THIS RECALL UP, AND I CANNOT FIND IT. PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED WHEN IT HAS NOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND I FEEL AS IF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM IS ADDING TO THE LACK OF SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, THE ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO ASK A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO HELP PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN. I WAS NERVOUS TO DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GET HOME AS THIS COULD POSE AS A SERIOUS THREAT TO SAFETY.

I WENT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE ON DAY IN DECEMBER 2017. I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MY CAR WOULD BARELY CREEP, I BARELY MADE IT THROUGH A TURN LIGHT AND CLOSE TO GETTING HIT. I COULD BARELY GET UP TO 15MPH. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD A PULLEY BROKE ON THE TRANSMISSION! IT SUPPOSEDLY CAUSED SHRAPNEL TO SHOOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TOLD COULD OF GOTTEN INTO THE MOTOR! SO I WAS TOLD $4000 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP PUT ME THROUGH THE RINGER! THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED AND IT WASN'T!! IT WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT! THEN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. THEN I ENDED UP GETTING AHOLD OF THEM THE NEXT DAY AND THEY TOLD ME NO DOUBT IT IS FIXED AND THAT THEY ENDED UP NOT PUTTING IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER THEY READ UP ON IT. I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT WASNT FIXED! THEN THEY PUT IN A NEW ONE FINALLY AT NO CHARGE AND IT WAS FINE. TOOK 4 TIMES!! TWO WEEKS LATER AND IT STARTS BURNING A GAS/ROTTEN EGG SULFUR SMELL. THEN I FINALLY NOTICE OIL LEAKING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET!!!

2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE WITH 9501 MILES AT TIME OF LAST INCIDENT. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS THE CAR SHIFTS ROUGH AT LOW SPEEDS (10 MPH) TO MEDIUM SPEEDS (45 MPH). WHILE THE CAR IS SHIFTING ROUGH THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE MAINTAINS A NORMAL FLUX IN RPM BUT NOTHING DRASTIC LIKE AN ENGINE THAT IS STRUGGLING TO STAY RUNNING. ONCE THE CAR COMES OUT OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING THEN THE CAR QUICKLY STALLS. WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT DOES NOT SPIT AND SPUTTER LIKE A CAR HAVING PROBLEMS RUNNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE 9501 MILE THAT WE HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 45 MPH WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE MOVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 10 MPH BACK TO BACK WITHIN A MIN OF EACH STALLING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS TO USE AT LEAST 87 AKI AND THE LOWEST RATING IN OUR STATE IS 87. WE HAVE ALWAYS USED AT LEAST THE LOW GRADE AND AT TIMES USED MID-GRADE 89. NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO USE PREMIUM GAS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES/HOUR, THERE WAS A SOUND AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN, ENGINE STOPPED, LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKE BECAME HEAVY, NO LIGHTS IN SPEEDOMETER AND INDICATORS WENT OFF/BLACK SCREEN. BRAKES WERE SOFT BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THEN I WAS ON A FREEWAY ABOUT 20 MIN LATER, DRIVING 65 MILES/HOUR AND THE CAR MADE A BIG NOISE, SHOOK AS IF I DROVE ON A POTHOLE, AND IT WAS THE SAME THING. NO ENGINE, ACCELERATOR DIDN'T WORK, I WAS COASTING, LOST POWER STEERING, AND HARD TO PUSH DOWN BREAKS. POWER IN THE PANELS WERE OFF. I WAS ABLE TO USE EMERGENCY SIGNAL, PULLED OVER EVENTUALLY AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 3-4 MIN. BEFORE RESTARTING THE CAR. IT WORKED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR, AND TODAY IT HAPPENED TWICE. BOTH TIMES, IT WAS A HOT DAY.

I GOT MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY PARENTS IN 2015. MY PARENTS DID LOTS OF RESEARCH AND WAS ENSURED THAT IT WAS A SAFE AND RELIABLE CAR FOR A FIRST TIME DRIVER. UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME MANY TIME CONSUMING PROBLEMS. I DRIVE A LOT TO COMMUTE TO MY WORK. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NASTY EXHAUST SMELLS, SLIPPING GEARS, DELAYED SHIFTING, BREAKS DELAYED AND GRINDING, AND RPM"S SHOOTING UP WHEN BARELY GASSES. MY COMMUTE IS QUITE DANGEROUS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LOADS OF SEMIS PASSING ONE ANOTHER. IT REALLY WORRIES ME AND MAKES MY FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I'VE BEEN HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE WITH THIS NEW OF A CAR. BAKERSFIELD NISSAN HAD MY CAR TRYING TO FIX IT FOR A WEEK AND A HALF REALLY PUTTING A MONKEY WRENCH WITH MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND CV BOOT. NOW I AM HAVING NEW PROBLEMS AND LOTS OF GRINDING AND RATTLING. THEY TOLD ME MY CAR FAILED TO REPLICATE ANYTHING BUT THE RPM"S SHOOTING UP. IT REALLY FRUSTRATES ME KNOWING THIS CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. PUT CAR IN PARK, AND TRY TO RESTART BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING TRAFFIC. MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I LET CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 7/6/15 AND THEY ADJUSTED THE IDLE BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. ON 8/8/15, I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED TO YIELD TO TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR ON 8/11/15 TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ECM, BUT DID NOT SAY THAT WOULD PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE. I'M AN EXTREMELY CONCERNED CONSUMER AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POST ONLINE FROM CONSUMERS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, AND I DON'T FEEL NISSAN HAS DONE THEIR PART TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. BEING THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITH OUT FOREWARNING, I'M CONCERNED SHOULD THIS SHUT DOWN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED A FATALITY COULD OCCUR.

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2014. I HAD THE BODY THROTTLE REPLACED, THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW THE ELECTRICAL MOTORS FOR THE DOORS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK IS GOING OUT. I TRULY FEEL WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS A LEMON. BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND SHORTY THEREAFTER, THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW ON 23 FEB 2020. I AM ON MY WAY TO CHURCH WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THE MOTOR IS GOING OUT THAT CONTROLS LOCKING MY CARS DOORS. WHEN THE THROTTLE GAVE OUT I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE. WHEN THE FAN GAVE OUT ON THE AC, I NOTICE THAT THE AC NO LONGER WORK AND I ATTEMPTED ADD FREON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FAN ON THE AC. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE MOTOR ON FOR THE LOCK/UNLOCK. IT'S A SHAME THAT CARS ARE ONLY MADE TO LAST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR AT THE LOWEST COST POSSIBLE AND THE SELL THEM FOR OUTRAGEOUS PRICE OVER THE FAIR MARKET PRICE. SOMETIME ITS JUST BETTER TO PURCHASE A USED CAR OPPOSED TO NEW VEHICLE THAT YOU THINK WILL LAST AND BUT ITS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.

I CHANGED THE TIRE "GREEN" TIRE TOP BY MYSELF HOPEFULLY NO FOURTH FLAT TIRE??

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 02/14/2014 AND YESTERDAY WAS THE FORTH TIRE TO GO FLAT ALL FOUR HAVE BEEN ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE. THE FIRST TWO I'M NOT 100% ON WHAT CAUSED IT AS I JUST ASSUMED I RAN OVER A NAIL THE FIRST TIME AND THEN JUST HAD BAD LUCK ON THE 2ND TIME. THE THIRD TIME (STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2014-RIGHT AFTER THE 2ND FLAT AND GETTING A BRAND NEW TIRE) THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WOULD CHECK AND IT WOULD BE LOW. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCATION I GOT THE NEW TIRE FROM AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHEN A FEW MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN DECEMBER THE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET OIL CHANGED...THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT...THEY FILLED IT WITH AIR. AGAIN I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIME. IN APRIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT A LOT QUICKER. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, NOTHING. NEXT DAY IT WAS FLAT AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE SO I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE, AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP (YAP THREE DAYS IN A ROW). LEFT IT THERE ALL DAY. THEY FOUND A PIN HOLE IN THE SIDE. I BOUGHT A NEW TIRE. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLOW. THIS TIME THERE IS A INCH SIDE SLASH ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE TIRE. IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE PIN HOLE IN THE OTHER TIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THE SEEM WHERE THE BUMPER IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR IS TO SHARP OR RUFF AND KILLING THAT TIRE. I STILL HAVE THE TWO TIRES WITH THE ISSUES AND WILL TRY TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED.

SIMILAR TO RECALL 16V244000. AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH EITHER AN ADULT OR A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IN THE SEAT. FIRST HAPPENED LAST YEAR, DEALER CHECKED AND RESET THE SENSOR AS A "CUSTOMER COURTESY" SO THERE IS NO PAPER TRAIL. HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ON VACATION. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO AGAIN RESET THE SEAT SENSOR ON 04/19/2017. ISSUE REOCCURRED TODAY, 04/26/2017. SOMETIMES JUST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON OR OFF. OTHER TIMES, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL ALSO ILLUMINATE. IT CAN OCCUR WHILE STATIONARY, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, WHILE ON NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS, INTERMEDIATE ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WE'VE PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, NO CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR. IT HASN'T BEEN INTO THE DEALER YET FOR TODAY'S ISSUE, BUT THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES. THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR WOULD INDICATE A FLAW IN A COMPONENT OR SYSTEM TO ME.

WITH OR WITHOUT BRAKES IT NEVER TIGHTENS UP IF I MAKE A SUDDEN STOP.. I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO ME.

THE GAS PEDDLE GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR LIKE ITS BEING SUCKED IN AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP SO THE ENGINE JUST SCREAMS LOUD AS THE CAR THRUSTS FORWARD AS FAST AS IT CAN GO, SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, APPLY THE BREAKS AND KEEP TAPPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE ALL AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL THE PEDDLE COMES BACK UP, WHICH TAKES ABOUT 15 TO 30 SECONDS AND IF YOU ARE RIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ITS JUST TO CLOSE OF A CALL AND IN THE MEAN TIME YOUR ENGINE IS SCREAMING SO LOUD UNTIL IT COMES BACK UP AND THEN AFTER YOU CAN CALM DOWN FROM GOING INTO SHOCK, YOU CAN CONTINUE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TAKE OFF AT A GREEN LIGHT, ENTERING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO BASICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOME OR EXTRA GAS. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN AT A GREEN LIGHT WITH ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME ONLY ABOUT 20 FT AND HAD TO THINK FAST AND THROW IT IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD HAVE PLOWED ME INTO THAT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I'M SCARRED TO DRIVE IT ON TRIPS TO GO SEE MY KIDS 100 MILES AWAY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS MORE THEN. IT DIDN'T START TILL IT WAS WITHIN THE 1ST YR BUT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND THEN LIKE 5 MONTHS, NOW IT SEEMS TO DO IT A LOT MORE, SO I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL YOU.

WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET RADIO REPLACED AND SHOWED THEM THE TRUNK WAS WET (CARPET SHOWED RINGS) AND THE RIGHT DRIVERS DOOR HAD BIG GAP BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND DOOR FRAME AREA - IT IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES. THE FRONT DOORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE BELOW THE BACK DOORS AND THE GAPS ARE INCREASING WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR. INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PLASTIC HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF TWICE. THE WIPER BLADES HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BECAUSE THEY JUST START TO TEAR IN SMALL AREAS. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND SEEN BY THE SERVICE DEPT. EVEN WHEN THE MOISTURE COLLECTS INSIDE DURING A RAIN SHOWER (DEFROSTER WON'T PREVENT THIS) . THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE LEAK IN THE TRUNK OR THE DOORS. I AM SCARED THAT ONE OF THE DOORS WILL FALL OFF. THE GAP HAS INCREASED IN 6 WEEKS YOU CAN STAND 2 FT. AWAY AND SEE THE SCREWS. I CAN HARDLY LOCK THE CAR (MANUALLY). NO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL FIX IT WITHIN 120 MILES. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS AND IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, THERE IS A AWFUL SMELL WHEN I START IT WITHIN THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS ME NOT THE CAR. *TR

Over the past 4 years I have delt with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note SV constantly stalling in the middle of the road. I have replaced the transmission, TCM, and brake light wiring harness. I have had the Nissan dealership assess my vehicle three different times for 3+ days. They have completed wiring diagnostics and determined that the brake light wiring harness is getting water into the wiring causing a short and blowing the #49 fuse under the hood that also operates the transmission CVT/TCM. Their solution was to replace the wiring harness. This was completed last week. It rained again the last couple days off and on. The fuse has blown again. This causes the vehicle to stall in the middle of the road. There is no advanced warning or messages that appear. The check engine light does not come on either. It is way too hot out for my new baby for the vehicle to stall and not be able to run. Cars begin honking and swerving around my vehicle. The vehicle has to be pushed out of the road. Fuse after fuse has been replaced. New light bulbs. New wiring harness and still the same outcome. Please help.

We bought a Nissan Versa Note 2014 in March of 2023. It currently has 74K miles. The transmission is shot. It doesn't want to shift, and revs up to high rpm's. We have had two mechanics check on it. Up to $7,000 to get fixed. The second issue is the steering. The steering gear has gone out. It makes a clicking noise when turning. This is so bad the mechanic said not to drive the car anymore. $1100 to fix. We now need to pay as much to fix the car as we owe on it.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. AT 122,500, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO "SHUDDERING", THE CAR AT TIMES WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE, AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN "T-BONED" AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, CAUSING THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE PHONED, EMAILED, AND WRITTEN TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA (CERTIFIED MAIL) WARNING THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. I SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST (615-725-7884). I MENTIONED TO HER THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING AND THAT THE CAR'S FAILING TRANSMISSION POSED A SAFETY HAZARD.

I CHECKED WITH NISSAN OF AMERICA AND THEY CONFIRMED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. I TOLD THEY CHEAPED OUT THE CAR AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CABIN AIR FILTER AT THE COST OF ~ $60.00. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY AND POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FATALITY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EQUIP THEIR CARS WITH CABIN AIR FILTERS. CARS BUILD PRIOR TO CABIN AIR FILTERS DIDN'T SEEN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE WAY THEY TOOK AIR INTO THE CAR. *TR

STOPPED AT PARKING LOT BOOTH WHICH WAS PLACED WITHIN ONE FOOT OF SIDEWALK, PREVENTING STRAIGHTENING OF FRONT WHEELS, WHICH WERE TURNED TO THE LEFT FOLLOWING A LEFT TURN INTO THE LOT. AFTER PAYMENT THROUGH PASSENGER WINDOW, I PLACED A FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR RESULTING IN SUDDEN UNEXPECTEDLY RAPID ACCELERATION AND A LURCH OF THE CAR TO THE LEFT WITH ALMOST IMMEDIATE IMPACT WITH A CONCRETE CYLINDRIC POST PLACED OPPOSITE THE RISEN ENTRANCE GATE WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE FRONT OF THE PREVIOUSLY STATIONARY CAR. THE FORCE WAS SUCH TO BEND THE RIM OF THE FRONT L WHEEL, STRIKING OF MY HEAD AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE FRACTURE OF 2 METATARSALS LIKELY FROM IMPACT WITH THE BRAKE. *TR

WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR (A/C, DEFROSTER) THE CAR WHILE AT A STOP, OR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS UNDER 10 M.P.H. WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. I CAN HAVE MY FOOT FIRMLY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, AND CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE STRUGGLING TO MOVE FORWARD AGAINST ME. ANYONE WITH SIZE 10 SHOE AND ABOVE (MEN) FOOT BECOMES TRAPPED IN ACCELERATOR AREA. CRUISE CONTROL CONSTANTLY FAILS TO HOLD PROPER SPEEDS, AND VARIES FROM 10 MPH + OR - ABOVE INTENDED SPEED WHILE ON A FLAT NON INCLINE SURFACE. *TR

THERE IS NO TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR'S CAB! NO BUTTON OR PULL LEVER ONLY WAY IN IS WITH THE KEY. WHAT IF A SMALL CHILD SHUT THE TRUNK AND WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPREHEND THE LEVER INSIDE THE TRUNK? VERY VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE WHO MAY DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN A LOCKSMITH HAD TO COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLE THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR TO GAIN ENTRY. THIS IS NO WAY ACCEPTABLE AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE/OWN ANY CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE TRUNK SWITCH/BUTTON/LEVER EVER AGAIN! I CANNOT PUT IN WORDS HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM WITH THE PERSON WHO PASSED A VEHICLE WITH THE ONLY WAY INTO THE TRUNK IS WITH A KEY! THE CAR WAS RENTED FROM FOX RENTAL CAR FROM THE ORLANDO FL LOCATION PICTURES MAY BE PROVIDED UPON FORMAL REQUEST. UPON RETURNING THE CAR WE NOTIFIED THE MANAGER OF THAT LOCATION OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL. *JS

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE DOES NOT REACH THE WINDSHIELD AT HIGH SPEEDS (30MPH+). THEY ONLY WORK GOOD WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS MY SECOND 2014 VERSA NOTE AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST ONE BUT NOT QUITE AS BAD AS THE NEWER ONE. I TALKED TO THE MAN AT THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THEM TO SPRAY HIGHER. I PUT SMALL METAL WASHERS UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SPRAYER NOZZLES ON THE FIRST ONE BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING FOR THE NEW ONE. I TRIED TWO WASHERS BUT THAT JUST LIFTS THE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY OUT OF THE HOUSING AND THE WASHERS FALL OUT. I DRIVE ABOUT 1000 MILES PER WEEK AND THIS IS A REAL ANNOYANCE AND A HAZARD IF I CAN'T GET THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR. I HAVE TO BE SURE TO CLEAR THEM AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRAKING, THE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO PUSH 'GAS'. THE CAR WILL FEEL LIKE IT IS MAKING LITTLE 'JERKS'. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERYTIME, BUT ENOUGH TO NOTICE AND MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. WHEN STOPPED OR PARKED, I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR 'SHIFTS OR MOVES EASILY AND I AM NOW IN THE HABIT OF APPLYING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE EVERYTIME I LEAVE THE CAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE, UNLESS I'M AN EXERTING MORE PRESSURE THAN NECESSARY ON THE BRAKES, WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN KICKS ON. IF I'M NOT CONSCIOUSLY PAYING ATTENTION TO PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WILL START TO DRIFT FORWARD EVEN AT A STANDSTILL. THE BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE SMOOTHLY. IT IS NOT A GRADUAL SMOOTH STOP, IT FEELS LIKE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WITH EVERY STOP. *TR

THIS WAS JUST A RENTAL VEHICLE, BUT THIS PROBLEM WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO REPORT. THERE IS A RECESSED WELL ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR THAT TRAPS YOUR FOOT. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD ATTEMPT TO PIVOT MY FOOT ON ITS HEEL OFF THE ACCELERATOR OVER TO THE BRAKE, ONLY TO FIND MY FOOT TRAPPED IN THE RECESSED SPACE ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO RELAX MY FOOT AND PULL IT BACK IN ORDER TO RELEASE MY FOOT AND MOVE OVER TO THE BRAKE. THIS DELAYED BRAKING TIME SEVERAL TIMES UNLESS I WAS CONSCIOUSLY PAYING ATTENTION TO AVOID GETTING MY FOOT TRAPPED. I WEAR A SIZE 12.5 SHOE, BUT THAT'S NOT INORDINATELY LARGE. *TR

WENT OUT TO START CAR PUSH IN CLUTCH AND CAR ROLLED OUT INTO STREET HAD BRAKE ON BUT DID NOT HOLD AND AFTER STARTING MOTOR THE BRAKES WORKED OK WITH ENGINE RUNNING.. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL ROLL AND HIT SOMETHING. I CHECKED THREW OUT THE DAY AND FOUND THAT WHEN CAR IS NOT RUNNING YOU HAVE NO BRAKES. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER BRAKES WHEN ENGINE STOPS THEY BECOME HARD IMMEDIATELY LOSE POWER ASSIST NOT LIKE OTHER CARS WHERE YOU HAVE 2 OR 3 APPLICATIONS BEFORE BRAKE LOSS. IF PUT IN A EMERGENCY AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING YOUR BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND YOU WILL HIT SOMETHING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AND GOOD BYE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTER AND THEY SAID THEIR TECH'S SAID IT IS OK AND NORMAL. *TR
