Consumer Description

2012 NISSAN VERSA SV 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OVER 65 MPH. RPM GAUGE WILL BOUNCE FROM 3000-4000 WHILE THE VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION SINCE 2007 AND NISSAN STILL HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL FINALLY BREAKDOWN. I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE FIXED AND NISSAN WILL OWN UP TO THE BAD WORKMANSHIP ON THE TRANSMISSION. I WILL CONTINUE TO POST AS THE TRANSMISSION GETS WORSE. THANK YOU! *TR
