Consumer Description

FOR A 2012 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN AUTOMATIC. THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED OUT 6 MONTHS AGO SOMETIMES NOT SHIFTING UP TO HIGHER GEARS WHEN I WAS DRIVING. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION JUST WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT ALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WITHOUT EVEN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW CAR. AFTER THAT I WENT TO CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION AND PAID FOR THEM TO TEST IT AND THEY ALSO SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT. I THEN WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND BOUGHT A DIFFERENT CAR AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE NISSAN VERSA A HANDFUL OF TIMES SINCE UNTIL I COULD GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW THE TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS UP WHILE DRIVING AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING IT TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WON'T ACCELERATE OR ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AT ALL, IT HAS TO BE TOWED. THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW ONE.
