2014 NISSAN VERSA Power Train Problems

See attached document for complaint

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.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that after reversing out of a parking space, while attempting to shift into drive(D), the contact discovered that the transmission failed to shift into drive(D). The vehicle was undrivable and was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined there was no transmission fluid inside the CVT transmission. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who confirmed a failure with the CVT transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 83,700.

Mileage: 83,700

Transmission acts up Every time I accelerate to 30-35mph. Must remove foot from gas until RPMs go down to at least 2(if I'm lucky). If this process is not done the car continues to get louder and doesn't perform properly. I have two kids that I regularly take to school and other places so this is a big problem. Also if car is going 15mph or slower it's the same process. This started happening about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. Odometer reading at time of purchase 75,500

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed the vehicle started to have issues with changing from one gear to another. The contact stated that he had just left the dealer from getting his transmission serviced and then the transmission failed. There was no warning prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and diagnosed as the transmission needing replacement. The vehicle has been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and told the contact they would be responsible for repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

Mileage: 119,000

When I first bouth this car used in 2020, the car suddenly begins accellerating rapidly but going nowhere while driving and I had the transmission replaced very soon after 68000 miles but, luckily it was under warranty. Now, less than 2 years after NISSAN replaced the transmission, I am driving down the interstate and my car starts jumping and going really slow and sluggish to get to the next gear then just takes off normally again. This will happen with the car just driving normally after that then again a shudder and slow down but its never consistent. I took it to Nissan again and guess what, the transmission went again. These Automotic CVT RE0F11A Transmissions in Nissans are severe safety issues and I have noticed and heard from mechanics all over and on this website even.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle started jerking and making abnormal sounds while attempting to accelerate. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 93,000.

Continuous Variable Transmission Assembly Failure; Engine Stalled on the Highway; around 4/25/2022 No warning lights came up. Took it to the Nissan Dealer; They charged $495 for reprogramming Computer and Test Drive. The problem came up PF17F0 - Judder. CVT Assembly has to be replaced. The car has run only 33,000 miles and is good condition. The dealer says to REPLACE the Transmission with a new ONE. They stopped installing REFURBISHED Continuous Variable Transmission Assemblyand will only sell the new ones for others to repair cars. It costs $6,500/== More than the worth of the cars. THEY WILL NOT SELL PART - creating Monopoly.

I was told by Nissan of Tustin, CA, that I need trans repair. I was also told that several other issues exist. For minor items that cost a healthy price. After the repairs I’m called and told I have an additional charge for rear tail lights and brake lights which occurs when repairs on the trans are done. This sounds like something that nissan knows so why not cover that in the repair? Doesn’t sound separate sounds like compound issue from trans. Is there a recall order for this issue with the Sentra, which is the same cvt transmission?

My car has a CVT transmission and it jerks and stalls when trying to change gears and sometimes gets stuck in gear. I saw that their is a recall for this issue in nissan cars (versa,Sentra,Altima’s)from years 2012-2018 issued in 2016, but when I called the dealership they said it’s not for my specific car according to the VIN number. I’m not sure why this is and I’m confused and would like to know how to resolve this issue.

Faulty Transmission. Replaced twice in 2 years. Nissan doesn't want to be responsible for 2nd Transmission. It cost $3,700 a Transmission replacement.

ON 06-23-21 my car left me stranded on the side of the road the CVT transmission wen out . I was never contacted or called or received any mail whatsoever now Nissan says that i am out of luck and good luck I am out of a car that was giving me problems for over 2 years they refuse to help or do anything about the BAD transmission

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.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 101000 MILES, THE NEW TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 109000 MILES. NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR IT AGAIN. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING TO HIGHER GEARS. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD.

NISSAN VERSA IS TUGGING/MISFIRING DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, RPM GETS STUCK AT AROUND 3500-4500 AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH. ONCE UNSTUCK, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD LIKE A CRUNCHING SOUND, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE METAL GRINDING METAL, NOT PROPERLY ENGAGING SHIFTING. THE MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY AT 90K. THE ISSUE STARTED AROUND A MONTH AGO. THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

Mileage: 88,000

THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN TAKING OFF SOMETIME. IT SOMETIMES WIIL NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. ITS CODING A INPUT SPEED SENSOR INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION

Mileage: 73,300

VERSA TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MALFUNCTIONING AT AROUND 84,000 MILES AND NOT CODE ON DASHBOARD. CALLED NISSAN FOR WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID NOT IN WARRANTY MILES ANYMORE. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD WARM BUYER AND DRIVERS ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH DASHBOARD INDICATIONS.

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

Mileage: 70,000

A RECALL JOB, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPGRADE, WAS COMPLETED BY TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOW MY NISSAN VERSA WILL GO NO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. NO INDICATIONS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE WERE DISPLAYED UPON COMPLETION OF THE RECALL CORRECTION. THIS CAR IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 102,640 MILES. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN LOGGED WITH NISSAN, BUT MY EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INEFFECTIVE THUS FAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO THE TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 10/20/2020 AND KEPT OVER NIGHT. ON 10/21/2020, THE RECALL WAS COMPLETE AND THE NISSAN WAS DRIVEN AWAY. LESS THAN 20 MINUTES LATER, THE TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WOULD GO NO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. ON THE SAME DATE, 10/21/2020, THE NISSAN WAS TOWED BACK, AT MY EXPENSE, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED PENDING DISCISSIONS WITH NISSAN.

Mileage: 102,640

MY NISSAN VERSA 2014 HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILE'S ON IT. AFTER RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN CRV TRANSMISSIONS FOR VEHICLES INCLUDING MY MAKE AND MODEL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE ON A SECONDARY ROADWAY.

Mileage: 90,000

SPECIFICALLY, MY TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GO BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACING. THE COST IS 3200. IN ADDITION THE CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA 130,000 MILES. I FEEL AFTER READING MY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN CONTINUED TO INSTALL ON MANY VEHICLES AND ENDANGERING THE OWNERS LIVES NISSAN SHOULD EITHER RECALL MY CAR OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THEIR COST .

GEARSHIFT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK, HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE GEARSHIFT WITH A PAPER CLIP; CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE CORRELATIONAL TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE RPMS GO REALLY HIGH ON INCLINES/HILLS...NISSAN SAYING NOT RESPONSIBLE/NO RECALLS, BUT I'M STILL GETTING 'CLAIMS NOTICES' FROM GM ECONOMIC SETTLEMENT CLAIMS CENTER...THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO "DISREGARD" THE NOTICES COMING IN THE MAIL....

Mileage: 93,500

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.

Mileage: 4,918

MY CAR HAVE 117 K MILES AND THA TRANZMITION IS BAD ALL THA NISSAN CAR ARE LIKE THA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

Mileage: 180,000

PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. RPM GO VERY HIGH AND IT WON'T SWITCH GEARS, THEN AFTER STRUGGLING IT WILL SWITCH GEAR BUT JERK THE CAR VERY HARD AND YOU CAN HEAR IT SWITCH VERY HARD. IT DOES DOES IN THE STREET AND HIGHWAY. MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY TRANSMISSION FAILING TO SWITCH TO HIGHER GEARS AND OTHER CARS HITTING ME FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO GO INTO FASTER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN AT THE 50K MILES YET.

Mileage: 464,500

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.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND CAME TO A FOUR-WAY STOP. I STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WAITED FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC, THEN PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO EASE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED IT. THIS TIME, THE GEARS ENGAGED, BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER BEFORE IT MOVED FORWARD. FROM READING OTHER ACCOUNTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT. AFTER THAT, I TOOK BACK ROADS HOME, AND DID NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP UNTIL I REACHED MY HOUSE.

Mileage: 88,000

PROBLEMS ACCELERATING, LOSING POWER, SPUTTERING STALLING OUT, JERKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, LOUD CLANK WHEN PUTTING IN DRIVE.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. I GOT THIS CAR NEW AND EVERY YEAR SINCE OWNING THIS CAR THERE HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BEYOND REPAIR ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR. THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. MECHANIC SHOPS SAID I NEED NISSAN TO REPAIR THIS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR! I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I AM IN A DEATH TRAP VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON. I AM HAVING TO PAY HIGH MAINTENANCE FEES AND CAR PAYMENTS. IN A CAR THAT CAN GET ME KILLED. NISSAN KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE 2014 CARS BUT HAS NOT REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT IT. THEY RECALLED SOME 2014 VERSAS BUT NOT ALL. I STRONGLY BELIEVED I WAS SOLD A HIGHLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE'S NO REASON WHY A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVERY YEAR ON A NEW CAR.

Mileage: 68,000

THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE 2004 TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING WHEN DRIVING AND IT WONT DOWN SHIFT WHEN YOU GET GOING. NISSAN HAS MANY LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM BUT THEY WONT HELP ME AT ALL.

Mileage: 115,000

VEHICLE HESITATES AND CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SAYS THERE'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE

I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND STOPPED FOR THE RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I PRESSED THE GAS IT WOULD MOVE. I SLOWLY GOT IT TO MOVE, BUT ONCE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD BARELY MOVE AND THE CAR IN BACK OF ME ALMOST HIT ME. WHILE IN MOTION IT WOULD BECOME WHERE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS WOULD BE IN VAIN. THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I COULD HARDLY MAKE IT TO MY HOME. ONCE I TRIED TO BACK UP I COULD HEAR A SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORTS OR SOMETHING ELSE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA SV AND HAS 79,589 TOTAL MILES TODAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING.

Mileage: 79,575

CAR TRANSMISSION MADE COMPLETE STOP AND NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE SEVERAL TIMES

Mileage: 109,000

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2018 AT OVER 72K AND IT IS NOW 94K, THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD NOW. EVERYTIME I HIT THE GAS, THE RPM JUMPS UP TO 4000-5000. EATS UP ALL THE GAS QUICKLY. SOMETIMES IT WOULD SHAKE WHEN I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT STARTED JULY 2019 AND PER MECHANIC, I WILL NEED TO GET RID OF THE CAR.

Mileage: 86,000

PREVIOUSLY, THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED WHEN THE MOTHERBOARD OF A TAIL LAMP MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE NISSAN SERVICE AGENT THAT THIS CAUSED A SIGNAL TO BE SENT TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT INDICATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE GOING IN REVERSE. THIS CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FALTER AND THE CAR STUTTERS AND/OR STALLS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE LOOKED UP A FEW ACCIDENTS, WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAILURE TO ACCELERATE, BUT NO ONE HAS LOOKED INTO THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY, BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING EXPERT WHO STATED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS TO IMPACT THE TRANSMISSION, SINCE THE BULK OF THE WIRING IS HOOKED UP TO IT INSTEAD OF THE BATTERY. NOW MY CAR IS ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCING THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHILE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR REPAIR TICKETS FOR THE TAIL LAMPS WHICH CAUSE THE PROBLEM. IN NEWER TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. HOWEVER, THE ORIGINAL MOTHERBOARDS WITH THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA BODY STYLE CAN START TO MALFUNCTION AT ANY TIME.

Mileage: 70,000

AROUND 68000 MILES, I FIRST NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, REVVING HIGH AND I OFTEN HAD TO MANIPULATE THE GAS PEDAL TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT UP. KEEP IN MIND, THIS VERSA IS EQUIPPED WITH A CVT, THUS THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE VERY GRADUAL "GEAR" CHANGES. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THAT SOMETIMES, WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES JOLT AROUND BEFORE IT GOT UP TO SPEED. THIS JOLTING OCCURRED AT RED LIGHTS, FREEWAY ON-RAMPS, ETC. NISSAN'S WARRANTY EXPIRES 60,000 MILES, AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE 60,000 MILES, HOWEVER TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T DIE AFTER 68,000 MILES, LIKE MINE WAS GOING TO. I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR IN AROUND 68,000 MILES TO HAVE THE TECHNICIANS LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEN, I TOOK MY TRANSMISSION IN FOR ROUTINE TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE AT AROUND 71,000 MILES, AND THE TECHNICIANS NOTICED SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CATCH PAN. THIS IS WHEN THEY FINALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. THIS IS ABOUT A $5,000 REPAIR. LUCKILY, I HAD MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE FROM MY AUTO INSURANCE, THUS I WON'T NEED TO PAY THAT FULL COST, BUT IF I HADN'T HAD THAT, I WOULD HAVE A CAR THAT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON ROADWAYS.

Mileage: 68,500

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. I NOTICED AT THE END OF JANUARY 2019 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS 'SHIFTING' GEARS, ACCELERATING AND THE RPMS WOULD REV, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT TUGGED, AND JERKED. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN FEBRUARY 2019. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING UP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AND I QUOTE 'TOTALLY FINE AND SAFE TO DRIVE. THEN ON MARCH 28, 2019 THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING WORSE ACCELERATION ISSUES, THIS TIME ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OUT AND NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. NO ERROR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. IT WOULD KEEP JERKING, AND TUGGING. A LOUR WHIRLING NOISE WAS ALSO HEARD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN, AND WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $4200 TO REPAIR. I PAID $5600 CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018.

Mileage: 121,000

VEHICLE IS TUGGING AND MISFIRING. VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE EFFICIENTLY FROM A START POSITION OR WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN REACHING AROUND 20 MPH THE RPM'S INCREASE AND DO NOT COME DOWN. I NEED TO SWITCH THE CAR TO NEUTRAL FOR IT TO SWITCH GEARS. BUT THEN AT AROUND 50-60 MPH THE RPM'S DO NOT DROP AND THE CAR STARTS TUGGING AND MISFIRING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND BECOMES WORSE WHEN DRIVING IN HIGHWAYS OR FREEWAYS.

Mileage: 110,200

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DRIVE AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION NISSAN PEMBROKE PINES (LOCATED AT 8890 PINES BLVD, PEMBROKE PINES, FL 33024, (954) 949-0421) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RESULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME AFTER BUYING GROCERIES, WE WERE IN A VERY BUSY STREET, WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE WAS PEOPLE BEHIND US AND NEXT TO US. IT WAS HARD TO MOVE TO PULL OVER. FINALLY WE LEARNED OUR TRANSMISSION (CVT) WAS BROKEN. THIS WILL COST US ALMOST AS MUCH AS WE PAID FOR THE CAR. ALL THIS HAPPENED AS WE REACHED 65,000 MILES. AND CONVENIENTLY ENOUGH, THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS UP TO 60,000.

BOUGHT THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA IN 2013. TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. HAD 72,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT IN EARLY SEPT. 2018. MANY OF THE MILES WERE SMALL TRIP HIGHWAY MILES, NOT EVEN CITY MILES. NISSAN DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. RATHER THAN PUT THE $3,880.00 INTO IT I TRADED IT IN. I EXPECTED IT TO LAST ANOTHER 5 YEARS AND FEEL NISSAN SCREWED ME, AND FROM WHAT I AM NOW HEARING, A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE TOO.

Mileage: 72,200

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM: I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER JULY 2013. LAST YEAR IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS. THIS YEAR THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. WE RECEIVED A RECALL CARD IN THE MAIL STATING TO BRING IT IN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER. AFTER BRINGING IT IN, THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON HER AS SHE WAS DRIVING HOME. I'M THANKFUL WE LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN. I CALLED NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE TO COMPLAIN. A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED PATRICK (615) 725-7359 WAS ASSIGNED MY COMPLAINT.. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I STILL HAVE A YEAR LEFT TO PAY FOR THE CAR. NISSAN DEALERSHIP CHARGED $2990 TO FIX THE CAR. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NOTHING IS BEING DONE!!

Mileage: 130,000

2014 NISSAN VERSA CVT TRANSMISSION...WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT AT 70 THOUSAND MILES. I HAD IT SERVICED AT 60 THOUSAND FOR ALL FLUIDS AND FILTERS DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION I WAS MID WAY HOME FROM DROPPING MY NIECE OFF HOME AND THE VERSA STARTED SLIPPING GEARS AND SHUDDERING I ALMOST CAUSED A 5 CAR ACCIDENT IF I HADN'T PULLED OUT THE WAY OF THE CAR BEHIND ME. IMAGINE IF I HAD MY NIECE IN THE CAR WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE DID CRASH BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY WANT 3800.00 TO FIX IT. I AM ONE OF THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS OF NISSAN NOT RECALLING THERE CARS KNOWING THEY PUT OUT A HORRIBLE AND DANGEROUS PRODUCT OUT ON THE ROADS.

Mileage: 70,000

I RECIEVED THE CAR WITH A DAMAGED HEAT SHIELD. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FIXED YET CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. LATELY I HAVE HAD AXEL SEAL LEAK ISSUES AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE WHEN ACCELERATING.

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. HER REPLY WAS THE "THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." SHE REPEATED THAT NUMEROUS TIMES AND SEEMED NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT OF DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU.

Mileage: 122,100

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA CVT TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING, FAILING TO ACCELERATE, AND ACTING ERRATICALLY. THIS IS CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I AND MY SON WERE ALMOST "T-BONED" WHILE PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CVT, AT TIMES, FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY, PUTTING DRIVER AT RISK. THIS CAR HAS 122,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ORIGINAL CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 65,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT CVT TRANSMISSION IS NOW FAILING. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY DEALER, NISSAN AUTOFARE STRATHAM, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SINCE SENT CERTIFIED LETTER TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NOTIFYING THEM OF THIS. I SPOKE TO MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST/DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO REALLY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT, AND STATED NISSAN WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW TRANSMISSION FAILED AT JUST 55,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS PARTICULAR CVT TRANSMISSION AS I HAD 2 FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN JUST 122,000 MILES. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THESE FAILURES REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AND THE RESEARCH I DONE INDICATES THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS CVT PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THANK YOU.

SYMPTOMS ' CAR DRIVEN TODAY ABOUT 100 MILES. ENGINE SHUTOFF FOR GAS UP. ON RESTART THE ENGINE CAME ON,BUT NO POWER WHEN IN GEAR. PRESS OF ACCELERATOR BUT CAR BARELY MOVED. SHUTDOWN AND TURN BACK ON AND GOT A LITTLE POWER. LOOKED AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THOSE DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. LIGHTS CHECKED AND ARE GOOD BULBS. 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. HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, NISSAN MECHANIC NOTED THE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND GOT THOSE TO COME BACK ON. ONCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED, THE ISSUE SUDDENLY WAS GONE. VERSA WAS BROUGHT IN FOR NO POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL KEPT DISENGAGING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTORL MODULE, THE BRAKE MODULE AND THE POWER TRAIN. ACTS AS IF THE COMPUTER CONTROL IS GETTING SIGNALS THAT BASICALLY DISCONNECTS THE ACCELERATION SIGNALS, OR IS CAUSING THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO DISCONNECT, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN SHIFT THROUGH TH GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM. JUST WON'T GET ANY ACCELERATION AT ALL.

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!!! I AM ANGRY TO SAY THE LEAST!!1 I SPENT ALL MY SAVINGS AND NOW HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET A NEW CAR AND I DOUBT I CAN PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!

BOUGHT THIS VERSA BRAND NEW IN 2014. HAD CVT RECALL WORK DONE IN 2016. SHORTLY AFTER WORK WAS COMPLETED, VEHICLE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE EXTREME SHUDDERING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AND DURING TAKE OFF. VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM GEAR TO GEAR HARD AND WITH A JERK. IT WILL BARELY ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP. TOOK TO MECHANIC TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED, HOPING THIS WOULD HELP AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT A FLUSH WOULD NOT HELP. TAKING TO A NISSAN MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. VEHICLE HAS 106,000 MILES, BUT IS USED ONLY FOR LONG STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY COMMUTES.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL, WITH ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS. IT SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES THIS EARLY. IT FEELS LIKE THIS CAR IS A THROWAWAY VEHICLE.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED IN ORLANDO FL. SHE LIVES IN JACKSONVILLE FL. 2.5 HOURS AWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN SHE TRIED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEAD HOME AFTER CLASS. WENT DOWN TO ORLANDO WITH MY TRUCK, RENTED A TOW DOLLY FROM U-HAUL AND TOWED THE CAR BACK TO JACKSONVILLE FL. I AM A ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. I CONNECTED MY ($600.00) LAUNCH CR129 PRO SCANNER . IT DOES OBDII, ABS, SRS, TRANSMISSION. NO CODES NO MATTER HOW IT DROVE. AFTER 3 DAYS OF TROUBLESHOOTING I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS A NEW ONE AT THE COST OF $3800.00. THE CAR HAS 66,000 MILES AND IS A 2014. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TURNED DOWN FOR ANY HELP. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH JATCO TRANSMISSIONS, THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS IT, NISSAN KNOWS IT, MITSUBISHI & SUBARU BOTH USE THE SAME JATCO TRANSMISSION AND HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ISSUES ARE WIDE SPREAD OVER MULTIPLE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND ALL OF THEM ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEMS. A 2014 WITH 66000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A TRANSMISSION. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

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.

I AM A CURRENT CUSTOMER OF A DEALERSHIP IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA. I HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST 2 BRAND NEW NISSAN VEHICLES FROM THEM . I WAS PLANNING TO BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOW THAT I JUST RETIRED. HOWEVER WITH THIS EXPERIENCE I AM GOING TO LOOK SOMEWHERE FOR MY NEW VEHICLE OTHER THAN A NISSAN. THIS NISSAN VERSA NOTE I BOUGHT IT IN NOVEMBER 2013. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY BRAND CAR MAKES BEFORE 5 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO "FIX" THE CVT PROBLEM AT $ 4000.00! EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE CVT PROGRAMMING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. EVEN NISSAN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO TRY TO FIX IT.! AT NO AVAIL. MY ADVICE, STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN VEHICLES!.

ON 10/11/2016 MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR WOULD SHIFT HARD TRYING TO GET INTO A HIGHER GEAR AND THEN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL YOU COULD HEAR THE CAR ACCELERATE BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AND ASIDE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS WELL AS FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE CVT PROGRAM IN THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. MIND YOU THIS IS THE FIRST I HEAR OF SUCH RECALL WHEN I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS SUCH RECALL CAME OUT ON 08/12/2015. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING VIA MAIL, EMAIL, OR PHONE. I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY ADDRESS NOR PHONE NUMBER IN YEARS SO I DON'T SEE WHY THEY DID NOT GET IN CONTACT WITH ME OR MY DAD. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF LAST YEAR WHEN THIS ALL CAME ABOUT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE IN THIS SITUATION WHERE THEY TREATING ME WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND AS IF I DON'T KNOW MY RIGHTS AS A CUSTOMER. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AT ONE DEALERSHIP AND THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WAS "ON MY SIDE" AND ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A FEMALE.

I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT, BUT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SMOOTHLY GET INTO GEAR. IT'S LOUD AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE I HEAR A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHETHER IT'S ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'VE DISCUSSED HEARING THIS SOUND BEFORE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND ALSO WENT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES. I'M BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I DIDN'T PURCHASE A "BRAND NEW" CAR TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ADVISED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES AND REQUESTED A BUY BACK. AFTER WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER, THEY ADVISED ME ON 4/9/15 THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCOMMODATE MY REQUEST. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS AN UNSAFE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM.

WE RECENTLY (2 NOV) PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION ,OUR PROBLEM IS WITH DOWN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH . WHEN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH THE SHIFTER WILL RANDOMLY LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PHYSICAL MOVE THE SHIFTER IN EVERY DIRECTION TILL YOU CAN SHIFT AGAIN OR IF YOU?RE LUCKY AS YOU?RE COASTING AND FIGHTING WITH THE SHIFTER IT POPS LOOSE AND YOU CAN SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SHIFT LINKAGE LOCKS UP AND THE CAR WON?T GO FULLY INTO 4TH. MY WIFE HAS TAKEN OFF WORK TWICE AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED AT OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (LEGLUE NISSAN, ALEXANDRIA, LA). BOTH TIMES SHE HAS BEEN SHE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER A SHORT TEST DRIVE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, ALL THE 2014 VERSAS SHIFT LIKE THAT. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND RECEIVED A SIMILAR ANSWER BASICALLY THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE VERSA HAS A HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 4TH BUT THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. ALSO, LET ME AT THIS TIME ALLEVIATE ANY CONCERN ABOUT US BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. WE PRESENTLY OWN FOUR PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, ONE BEING A 2009 VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM AND SEVERAL PIECES OF FARM MACHINERY AND BETWEEN BOTH OF US HAVE OVER 70 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OPERATING THEM. *TR
