The CVT transmission has only 80k miles and is changing gears for no reason up and down at all speeds and won’t drive safely. Rpm’s increase and randomly gear kicks in and hits very hard and then stops working.

The CVT transmission has gone bad on this vehicle, while on vacation the car started sputtering and shut off at a stop light. When I had the car towed to the dealership they told me I needed a new transmission because the torque converter has gone bad. When I complained that the car has only 97,000 some miles the dealership directed me to I-800-Nissan. I provided the requested information and received a call and the gentleman told me my car was not covered under the extended warranty (was extended to 80,000 miles), he went on to say that after researching to see if Nissan could help in any way he found that I had not have service done at one of their dealership and they could not offer any assistance at this time. The quote to replace the transmission with a remanufactured transmission is $4000.00. Upon researching this issue (I believe a transmission with a first maintenance schedule at 100,000 miles should at least make it to that maintenance timeline) I have discovered this CVT transmission problem is widespread among many Nissan models, the Versa included. There were no warning lights or prior problems before it just quit.

A REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT 14,900 MILES IN 2017. NOW, A REAR WHEEL BEARING HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 59,500 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT MAKE ANY CONCESSION ON THE FAULTY PARTS AND/OR FLAW IN THE QUALITY THAT NISSAN IS USING. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT FAIL AT THIS POINT IN A VEHICLE'S LIFE (LOW MILES). THE WHEEL GETS EXTREMELY HOT AND COULD LOCK-UP CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY. THESE CAR MODELS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND REPLACED IF NEEDED BY NISSAN AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. MY VEHICLE IS TILL WITHIN THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT 4 MONTHS BEYOND THE 60 MONTHS.

The contact and her husband were treated on scene for scrapes and bruises but did not go to the hospital for further evaluation. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was totaled.

When you press on the accelerator and gain speed the car abruptly jerks to the right. I believe it’s caused by a defect of the traction control system.

the power steering system in my Nissan Versa has put me at risk it must be repaired because it is part of the recall car affected

Dec 28, 2022

WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY THIS MORNING I HEARD A CLICK AND THEN THE "PS", POWER STEERING, LIGHT TURNED ON. THE CAR WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN THIS OCCURED. WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAD TURNED OFF. WHEN I GOT TO WORK UNATTACHED MY BLUETOOTH OBD-II READER TO CHECK THE CODES. THE READER SHOWED ZERO CODES RECORDED. I LEFT THE READER INSTALLED. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR TO GO TO LUNCH THE "PS" LIGHT WAS OFF AGAIN AND POWER STEERING WAS FUNCTIONING. WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT FOR LUNCH THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY CUT OUT AND THE "PS" LIGHT TURNED BACK ON. MY OBD-II READER REPORTED NO CODES. UPON STARTING THE CAR AGAIN THE "PS" LIGHT WAS ONCE AGAIN OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. THE POWER STEERING WORKED DURING THE DRIVE HOME AND THE "PS" LIGHT STAYED OFF.

Oct 23, 2019

IT STARTED OFF WITH THE 'PS' LIGHT TURNING ON AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY TURNING OFF. THIS CAR HAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND I AM GLAD I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. GOOGLING THE PROBLEM YOU GET MANY STORIES OF THE POWER STEERING FAILING ON THIS MODEL. IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER.

Aug 31, 2019

POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING IS LOST MAKING IT HARD TO TURN WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION LUCKILY AT LOW SPEED. IT HAS BEEN ON THE SHOP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING, CONTROL IS GAINED AGAIN.

MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE NOW.... BOTH WHILE DRIVING RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLS I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND IT WON'T GO. JUST STALLS.... HAVE TO TURN THE CAR TOTALLY OFF AND THEN RE-START. SO FAR IT HAS RE-STARTED EVERY TIME BUT WHY!!! THIS HAS DONE THIS TWICE AND ONCE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS.....

Jun 24, 2019

I HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE NISSAN AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF. THEY ASSURED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MONTHS LATER IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO NOT MOVE WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP; I WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. THEN IT STARTED TO FAIL GOING IN REVERSE AND SHUTTING OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. MANY OTHER NISSAN VERSA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINT OF VEHICLES STALLING. THE VEHICLES ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I BELIEVE NISSAN KNOWS THIS. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK. WHY HAS NISSAN NOT DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS?

Apr 25, 2019

MY NISSAN VERSA HAS 56,000 MILES AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR OR ANY WARNING LIGHTS ETC.

THE RPM GAUGE NEEDLE WAS MOVING BETWEEN 1 AND 2 REALLY FAST. THE CAR STARTS AND THEN SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING

The arm that comes in from the firewall of the clutch master cylinder that has the little plastic clip that attaches to the rod of the clutch pedal, constantly pops off leaving you with complete loss of control of your car. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY ALL NISSAN VERSA OWNERS!! This faulty issue has happened to so many people that have even had brand new clutch master cylinders replaced. Many owners have had to create a fix themselves due to this faulty clip. This can be extremely dangerous while driving. In my situation yesterday in HIGH traffic I lost complete control of my clutch. I have uploaded some photos that another person posted on a forum to show the clip and rod and that they used their own concoction to fix this. This has caused many versa owners complete loss of control of their vehicles.

I have had two major instances where the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) has caused my vehicle to lose total power. The first incident occurred around midnight one night as I was heading home. I was unable to accelerate from a stop sign and had to put the car in neutral and coast in reverse to be able to get my vehicle out of the road and along the curb. The vehicle would not start on its own. I had to have the vehicle towed and taken to a mechanic where repairs were completed. WIthin two months of these repairs, I notice the problem seems to be returning. Three times I notice the car not accelerating correctly and one instance where I tried to press the gas pedal and had no response from the car to it. Ultimately these issue led to my coming home one night around 2am and the car simply would not accelerate at all. I had to pull over and again call a tow truck. My mechanic tells me the the MAF sensor is faulty, but the company handling the extended warranty wants to see the car orior to repairs being done. However, that means I am stuck waiting almost a week before repairs can even begin. Its very nerve racking having this issue on your vehicle. Its an intermittent problem that seems to creep up whenever it feels like it, I have to drive my car for work and I often keep late hours. I dont like the idea of breaking down at night in an area I am not familiar with Having thid problem affects not only my and others safety but my overall well being and financial stability

WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED MOSTLY AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE SPONGY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED IN ADVANCE. THE VEHICLE DOES STOP, BUT BRAKING TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL.

Apr 12, 2019

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SPONGY AND SOFT AND THE CAR HESITATED TO STOP WHEN BRAKE ENGAGED. BUT AS I KEEP DRIVING IT, IT PROMPT ME INTO DANGER AS I HAVE HARD TIME STOPPING THE CAR AND END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF CROSSWALK. FOR VERSA BRAKE, I FEEL LIKE IT IS DESIGNED TO BRAKE AT LEAST 30FT AHEAD, IT TOTALLY DOES NOT WORK FOR EMERGENCY. I NEVER LET MY MOM DRIVE THAT CAR BECAUSE HER EYES COULD NOT SEE THAT FAR! ALSO, WHEN THE AC IS ON, THE BRAKE GETS EVEN WORSE! IT IS WAY SOFTER AND SPONGIER AND WAY LESS PRESSURE, SO I ALWAYS HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AC FOR THE SAKE OF MY LIFE! PLEASE HELP US INVESTIGATE THE BRAKING SYSTEM! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ALL FUTURE DRIVERS WITH VERSA!

Jul 27, 2016

THE BRAKE DOESN'T MAKE THE CAR STOP WITHIN 15FT AT 35 MPH!. I HAVE TO KEEP THE SAME DISTANCE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT IN LOCAL STREET AS IN FREEWAY TO FEEL SAFE. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALSO VERY SOFT AND SPONGY, I APPLY ALL THE WAY AND THE CAR STILL KEEPS SLIDING. I OFTEN END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSWALK. YESTERDAY, I WAS STUCK IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT TWICE BECAUSE THE BRAKE JUST SLOWED DOWN THE CAR FOR A LITTLE BIT EVEN WHEN I ENGAGED HALF WAY, AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR STILL JERKED AGAINST THE BRAKING FORCE! IT IS NOT OK AND TOTALLY UNSAFE! I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO A BRAKE RECALL!

Jul 26, 2016

WHEN SLOWING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT, CAUSING THAT CAR TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT.

THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME, BUT I DON'T HAVE DATES AND DETAILS FOR PREVIOUS ACCOUNTS. THERE WERE AT LEAST 3 COMPLAINTS IN PERSON AT THE DEALER, INCLUDING ONE ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT. ALL COMPLAINTS WERE DISMISSED WITHOUT THE CAR BEING INSPECTED. WE WERE TOLD THE CAR JUST HAD THEIR CERTIFIED PREOWNED INSPECTION AND/OR WE NEEDED TO GET USED TO DRIVING A NEW CAR. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON JULY 4, 2015 WITH 1700 MILES ON IT.

I was driving along and I went to stop but the brake didn't stop the car so I put in the car in park. Then the brake and engine lights started flashing at me so I turned of the car. I wasn't driving very fast at all, probably less than 20 miles per hour. Then when I restarted the car the brake and engine lights cam back on and the brake still wasn't working, and the car rolled while it was in park. I was not able to move the car to a safe spot. I had to sit partially in a traffic lane near a dangerous, blind curve. A sheriff's deputy saw my car and pulled in behind me to help protect me while we waited two hours for the Auto Club. My mechanic said the transmission totally failed and caused the problems.

WITH 68 MILES ON CAR, A CLICK SOUND IS ALWAYS HEARD EACH TIME THE AIR CONDITIONING BUTTON IS PRESSED TO ON POSITION/LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SMELLS HOT AND GIVES OFF A BURNING SMELL EVERY SINGLE TIME THE CAR GOES OVER 65 MPH/ACCELERATION FROM 60 TO 65MPH OR FROM ANY OTHER SPEED/MPH UP TO 65MPH MAKES THE SMELL OF A HOT ENGINE. THERE IS NO SMOKING BUT THE AIR IN THE CAR SMELLS AT 65MPH SO I GO 60MPH TO PREVENT THE SMELL BECAUSE IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS. THE CAR HAS NOT LOST COMPRESSION AT ANY SPEED/CLIMBS HILLS/BUT THE SMELL HAPPENS WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AS WELL AS BEING IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED OR MPH CLIMBING THE STEEP HILLS OF NY. FOR INSTANCE IF THE SPEED LIMIT IS 30MPH AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL AND 55MPH AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, THE CARS ENGINE WILL SMELL HOT. NO GAGES OR RED LIGHTS OCCUR TO INDICATE OVERHEATING. RADIATOR IS NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT OR NO STEAM OR SMOKE TO INDICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT IS A STANDARD/MANUAL SHIFT. AND I DID EXPERIENCE THE PEDAL OPERATION COMPROMISED WHEN MY SHOE WAS CAUGHT UNDER THE SIDE PANEL. I CHANGED SHOES THEN THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED....EXCEPT FOR THE RECALL WHICH IS NECESSARY.

My skid mark symbol comes on, does not go off until 2or 3 days later. My Nissan will not accelerate over 20 miles per hour. I have had mu vehicle checked several times at the Grainger Nissan dealership several times within the past 4 years after they installed a new transmission. They found and corrected other issues, but not what causes the traction lights to come on and decrease speed causing me to have to use flashers and bike lanes where ever available until I get home. Independent mechanics have checked, knocked off traction light. It only comes on again. I have another mechanic at Precision Tune to check it out tomorrow. The last date of this occurrence was 12/ 08/2025

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer, where the fuel pump assembly, the lower control arm, and the electronic parking switch were replaced. Additionally, the contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that cylinder #1 had misfired, and the dealer determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to a transmission specialist, where the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the catalytic converter was replaced for a second time. Additionally, the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shift to first gear. The vehicle was towed to another dealer, Classic Nissan Newport News (12925 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23608), where the transmission assembly, the ignition coil, and spark plug #1 were replaced. The contact stated while driving after the repair, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while her grandson was occupying the rear passenger's side seat, the seat belt locked and failed to unbuckle. The contact stated that her daughter cut the seat belt and released her grandson. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

After I bought my 2015 Nissan Versa with VIN: [XXX[ in April 2019, the water gained entry inside the car due to heavy rain a month later. The incident has continued to occur; Unfortunately, I had kept blaming it on the height between the parking ground and the car floorboard. The design flaws on the Versa allow water to collect below the windshield. When the collected water doesn't drain, so it flows into the car on the front passenger side floor below the compartment gloves area. It causes visibility problems during rainy and winter seasons since the inside car is not completely sealed causing insulation issues. I had to buy different products to address the visibility problems. My car got flooded last May 2022 to the point I had to get a cup to get some of the water out. I started hearing a sloshing sound and quirking sound when pressing on the brake not too long and so on. I initially paid $1,200 to repair the electrical problems to a Nissan dealer and later found out the harness needed to be replaced due to water damage costing $7,200. The design flaw made my car unsafe due to the visibility problem during inclement weather. There is a blog where 2014 through 2018 Nissan Versa owners describing the same issue I have been experiencing. I am dumbfounded Nissan has never bothered to address this issue for so long; very few people have a disposable income to pay for repairs or constantly buy a new car in less than 5 years. The sad thing, I had to borrow money from my life insurance to pay the car off. I know Nissan will use the inspection defense. Please keep in mind all the cars that have been recalled before passed inspection, so it is not a valid point.

WHEN TAKING OFF THE TRANSMISSION BELT SLIPS ALL THE TIME SO I TRY TO EASE INTO THE GAS AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE. WHEN A/C IS RUNNING THE CAR HAS ALMOST ZERO ACCELERATION AND HAS A STUTTERING OR STUMBLING ISSUE THAT CAUSES ISSUES UNTIL I HIT 3000 3500 RPM THEN SEEMS TO GAIN POWER. I HAVE ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEEMING TO SLIP OUT OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE BELT WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT, IF THE LIGHT TURNS BEFORE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I GO TO REAPPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, IF I DONT GENTLY APPLY THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION BELT WILL SLIP AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUTTER. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, BUT I HAVE HAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AROUND 40000 MILES, A CRICKET CHIRPING NOISE THAT IN THE BEGINNING WAS ALWAYS AT 2000RPM AND NO WHERES ELSE IN THE RPM RANGE. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE I SEEM TO HEAR THE CHIRPING NOISE ANYWHERE AROUND 1500 RPM TO 2250RPM RANGE. AS WELL I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FAN QUIT WORKING CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVER HEAT PRETTY BAD BUT THE HEAD GASKET DIDNT FAIL LUCKILY. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AN ISSUE WITH THE A/C WHEN IT STARTS UP THE CLUTCH BASICALLY CLUNCKS ON OR MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE KICKING ON AND WHILE THE A/C WOULD RUN BEFORE THE FAN FAILED, THE AIR WOULD START SMELLING VERY VERY BAD. IT SMELLED LIKE CHEMICALS OF SOME SORT AND IT WOULD MAKE ME VERY NATIOUS TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE A/C OFF AND LIVING IN THE DESERT IN TUCSON, ARIZONA THIS DOES NOT MAKE FOR A VERY GOOD COMFORTABLE RIDE AT ALL.

SOMETIMES STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOTALLY BLOW ME OFF DENIED THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING ON THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTOR THEY SAID. YOU HAVE TO JUST LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT'LL FINALLY MOVE THE CAR WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE I COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADNOT SURE IF IT'S THIS IS RELATED TO THE WHATEVER'S CAUSING THAT PROBLEM BUT WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND YOU'RE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR VIBRATES REALLY BAD SOMETIMES YOU CAN STEP ON THE BRAKE LET OFF OF IT AND STEP BACK ON IT AND RPMS WILL GO UP BUT SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL DROP DOWN TO BELOW 600 THAT'S WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING REAL BAD. I'VE TRIED TO GET THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES THEY ENDED UP TELL THEM IT WAS AN AFTERMARKET MOTOR MOUNT IT WAS NOT A NISSAN PART SO I CHANGED IT FOR A GENUINE NISSAN PART THEY CHARGE ME OVER $600 AND IT DID NOT FIX THE CAR IT'S STILL VIBRATED. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE THE CAR RUNS PERFECT THE RPMS ARE FINE AND THERE'S NO VIBRATION WHATSOEVER BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT STARTS VIBRATING. IT HAS ALSO ALMOST WENT DEAD SEVERAL TIMES TO OVER THE LAST YEAR I JUST STARTED KNOCKING , SPUTTERING REAL BAD AND IT ALMOST GOES DEAD AND SHUTS THE MOTOR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT RED LIGHTS FOR PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOTS ON CITY STREETS. IT'S ALMOST GONE DEAD JUST SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STARTS SPUTTERING.

ON SEPTEMBER 2019 AT 93,000 MILES I RECEIVED A POST CARD ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED BY NISSAN OWNERS AGAINST 2013-2017 NISSAN VERSA AND SENTRA CARS ''CVT' TRANSMISSIONS NOT PROPERLY WORKING TO NOT WORKING AT ALL. I FINALLY HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE NISSAN ONLY MECHANIC SAID MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME AT MOSSY NISSAN HOUSTON, TX. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR. NISSAN MANUFACTURE FAIL TO PROVIDE 100% OF REPAIR COST AND REFUSE TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THEIR TERRIBLE CAR TRANSMISSION CAUSE ME. MANY PEOPLE AND TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS KNOWS NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT GOOD. YOU CAN REPLACE A NISSAN TRANSMISSION TODAY AND THE SAME YEAR OR NEXT YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR WHAT NISSAN MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP DID. II REPLACED THE FIRST TRANSMISSION AT 37,000 MILES IN YEAR 2 OF OWNING MY CAR , AT 42,000 OR 50,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING BAD. AND YEAR 3 AT 93,000 I HAVE TO REPLACED AGAIN. THAT IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD. THE REASON I DID NOT HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR I STRONGLY BELIEVE, IS BECAUSE I PRAYED EVERYDAY WHEN I START DRIVING FOR JEHOVAH GOD TO PROTECT ME, NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AND NOT TO KILL ANYONE WITH THIS CAR. SO EVERY 30,000 MILES OR EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A NISSAN VERSA DEPENDING HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE FOR THE YEAR.. I HAD TO DEAL WITH EXTREME STRESS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL 3 TIMES.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASE THE NISSAN VERSA 2015 IN SEPT. 2015, THE CAR WAS USED IT HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT. I TEST DROVE IT A LITTLE BIT WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT OFF I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP BEFORE I GOT OFF THE STOCKTON DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TEST DROVE IT. THEY SAID YES THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND REPLACE IT. NOW, I AM THINKING BACK, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CONVINCED ME TO GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM THINKING WHY IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT.. SO, IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT DROVE OK. THEN IN 2017, I NOTICED A SMALL SLIPPING NOISE, LIKE A SMALL DRUMROLL EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEN FINALLY I TOOK THE CAR TO OAKLAND DEALERSHIP IN 2017 AROUND 88,000 MILES. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR NOISE. IN A FEW DAYS, I PICK UP THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I DROVE IT I HEAR THE SLIPPING DRUMROLL SOUND. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE TESTED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. I WAS DISCOURAGED WITH THE RESULTS, NOW IT JAN 2019, MANY MONTHS LATER, AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, MORE FREQUENT LOUD DRUMROLL NOISE AND SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE AND I NOTICED THAT NISSAN DOUBLED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. TODAY, I WENT TO THE OAKLAND DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY NISSAN VERSA IS NOT UNDER THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOW CAN THIS BE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND FAILURES ABOUT THE NISSAN TRANSMISSION. NISSAN AND DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE VERSA. RIGHT NOW, I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AN ANY GIVEN TIME AND DRIVING CONDITION.

I BOUGHT THIS VERSA BRAND NEW AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A YEAR FROM THE PURCHASE DATE THE DEALER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND WAS BOUGHT OUT. THE FIRST YEAR I HAD IT I CAME IN OFTEN WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND TO GIVE IT MORE GAS WHEN IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS HAVING TROUBLES. EVERYTIME I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, EVEN MY FIRST OIL CHANGE, THEY WOULD COME BACK WITH 600 DOLLARS WORTH OF FILTERS OR THE BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I QUIT GOING THERE FOR MY CAR, BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT PRESSURE TO SPEND MONEY ON ISSUES I WASNT HAVING. THEY NEVER WANTED TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION OR ANYTHING. NOW AFTER 65K THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, MY RUNNING TAILLIGHTS DO NOT WORK, SOME UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AND THE CAR JUST TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN WITH NO WARNING. BEFORE THE TRANNY WENT OUT I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI, THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THAT PROBLEM BC IT CAN NOT REPLICATED. THAT'S THEIR ANSWER TO ANY PROBLEM THAT'S NOT EXPENSIVE OR QUICK. IF IT CAN NOT BE REPLICATED THEN YOUR LYING AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ALL VERSA'S SOLD WOULD NEED A NEW TRANNY AFTER 40K. NOW NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NOR THE DEALER WANTS TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. I NEED HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED SOON.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT STEER, PRESS ON THE GAS OR THE BRAKE. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND BACK ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO WORK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A SPAN OF A MILE BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. I FELT UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE MY OWN CAR.

OUR CAR WAS TRAVELING IN A VERY SLOW SPEED ON AN ON-RAMP OF INTERCHANGE FROM FREEWAY 110 NORTH BOUND TO 105 WEST BOUND IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. THE TRAFFIC FLOW WAS IN A VERY SLOW MOVING FASHION. SINCE IT WAS AN UPHILL ON RAMP, I HAD TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL SLIGHTLY TO KEEP THE CAR MOVING AT A SLOW BUT STEADY SPEED. AS THE TRAFFIC GOT SLOWER, I GENTLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR. WHILE I WAS HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL, SUDDENLY I HEARD A "CLUNK" NOISE AND FELT A VIBRATION. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR STARTED MOVING ON ITS OWN WITHOUT A SIGN OF SLOWING DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO STEP ON BRAKE WITH FULL FORCE BUT FELT THE BRAKE HAVING NO PRESSURE AT ALL. AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH UNCONTROLLED SPEED, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO AT THAT MOMENT WAS TO VEER THE CAR TOWARDS THE RIGHT EDGE TO AVOID DIRECT IMPACT WITH THE FRONT CAR. BY READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, I BELIEVED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTION WAS BEING ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT SINCE THE DRY AND NON-SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITION DID NOT WARRANT SUCH ACTIVATION. AND WHAT MADE THINGS EVEN WORSE WAS, FOR WHATEVER THE REASON, THE CAR WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN IN AN UNCONTROLLED SPEED WHILE THE BREAK PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY LOSING THE PRESSURE DUE TO THE ABS ACTIVATION. THIS VEHICLE WAS BEING RECALLED AND SERVICED FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE LOWER PANEL TRIM DESIGN IN AUGUST. THE LIABILITY INSURANCE CLAIM WAS FILED FOR THE ACCIDENT. THE MILEAGE WAS 8740 AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. PHOTOS OF THE ACCIDENT SCENE ARE ATTACHED AND ALONG WITH OTHER DOCUMENTS.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT SPEEDS 40MPH AND ABOVE, THE CAR DOES NOT STAY IN THE LANE. THIS CAR IS CONTINUOUSLY PULLING TO THE LEFT OUT OF THE LANE TOWARDS CARS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, WITH NO CONTROL TO CORRECT, THEN PUSHED TO THE RIGHT OUT OF LANE, BACK AND FORTH MY WHOLE RIDE WITH NO SUBSIDING. THE ISSUE AT TIMES ESCALATES BY GETTING OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON ANY ROAD, GOING BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT VERY FAST AND SHORT BY ITSELF WITH THE STEERING WHEEL CENTERED. FOR THIS ISSUE I'M NEEDING TO WAIT FOR THE CORRECTION AND SLOW DOWN THE CAR. THE FRONT TIRES ARE CONTINUOUSLY GETTING THROWN OUT OF ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS I DRIVE IT FOLLOWING SERVICING. I HAVE HAD 4 SERVICE APPOINTMENTS FOR ALIGNMENTS AND BALANCING WITHIN A 2 WEEK TIME FRAME, REPLACED TIRES, AND BROUGHT TO NISSAN DIRECTLY FOR A DIAGNOSIS WITH NO CHANGE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ALIGNMENT IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, WHEN A CAR OR ANY VEHICLE DRIVES BY MY CAR ON ANY ROAD, MORE SEVERE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR IS PUSHED ACROSS MY LANE AND THERE IS NO WINDY CONDITIONS. THIS DOES OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. IT IS ALSO APPARENTLY VISIBLE TO OTHER DRIVERS AS I SEE CARS FROM BEHIND ME MOVE TO THE MIDDLE LANE, SPEED UP AND PASS ME IN THE FAR LEFT OF THEIR LANE, THEN CUT ME OFF. I DO NOT BELIEVE AGAIN THAT THIS IS A WHEEL ISSUE, AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS IS HOWEVER WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MYSELF OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE AN OPENED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND SO FAR THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN, GO BACK TO NISSAN FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT, TO WHICH I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ALREADY WITH NO CHANGE TO THE ROOT PROBLEM. *TR

EVERY TIME I GET GAS MY CAR CUTS OFF. I PUMPED THE GAS START THE CAR AND DRIVE A COUPLE FEET AND CAR CUTS OFF. NISSAN DOESN'T THINK ITS IMPORTANT AND THAT SENSE THEY CAN'T SEE THE PROBE IT ISN'T TRUE. I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DUE TO WHATEVER IS GOING ON. BRAKES GET STUCK OR GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND GAS DRAINS VERY QUICKLY.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65MPH AND OVER THE CAR SHIFTS RIGHT AND LEFT AS IF WIND IS BLOWING THE CAR ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND WAS PURCHASED WITH 10 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MAY OF 2015. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN WAS CONTACTED BY ME AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEMS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS MODEL AND THEREFORE NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SHIFTING. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SPARKS/NISSAN IN MONROE LOUISIANA STATES THAT THE MODEL IS A NORMAL SITUATION. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY HAS THE SALES STAFF NOT INFORMED THE CUSTOMERS THAT A SITUATION COULD EXIST? THE CAR SHOULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY HAZARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS UNDER NORMAL CITY LOW SPEED DRIVING THE CONDITION IS NOT NOTICED. NISSAN CORPORATION 615-7257445 WILL DO NOTHING, MY CASE #2035821 COMPLAINT. I AM ASKING FOR A REPURCHASE BY NISSAN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN HOPES OF BUYING A CAR DEEMED TO BE SAFE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED ON A LONG TRIP FROM LOUISIANA TO FLORIDA AND BACK IN SEPTEMBER.
