NHTSA Complaint #10984783 — 2012 NISSAN VERSA

CVT TRANSMISSION. CAR WAS IN MOTION, COULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOPPED AT RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. TOOK TO NISSAN IN GAINESVILLE FL...TOLD IT NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION, QUOTED OVER 3500.00. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PUTS OCCUPANTS AT RISK FOR REAR END COLLISIONS. CAR HAS LESS THAN 110K. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE TO BE TAKING PLACE. HAD CVT FLUSHED AND REPROGRAMMED PRIOR (DEC 2016). AND NOW THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CVT NONSENSE AND EVIDENTLY SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORI FOR NISSAN. BOUGHT CAR NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER....HAVE HAD OTHER MINOR ISSUES FIXED WHEN THEY HAPPENED, BUT A TRANSMISSION THAT IS FAULTY IS UNACCEPTABLE. WROTE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE ON WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO ABOUT THE ISSUE...ITS FAULTY. THIS CORPORATION SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND LIABLE FOR NEGLECT ON THEIR PART. YOU DON'T JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF YOUR CONSUMERS IN THIS MANNER. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAS TO BE FIXED NEXT WEEK. UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HAVE LIVELIHOODS AND JOBS....YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLE, THAT IT WOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THAN 110K...THAT'S LOW MILEAGE BY TODAY'S STANDARDS. MY SON WAS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING SLAMMED FROM THE REAR.
