NHTSA Complaint #11047405 — 2014 NISSAN VERSA

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.
