NHTSA Complaint #11166580 — 2013 NISSAN VERSA

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2015, THE CAR ALREADY HAD CVT ISSUES. IT USED TO JERK AND SOMETIMES I HAD TO TURN IT ON AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS NOT AWARE IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN, IN THE HILLS THE CAR WOULD NOT GET SPEED. IN 2017, THE CAR WAS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE, PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGEROUS. I WENT TO NISSAN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, IN JULY 2018 THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 31ST I WENT TO NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION PART, I REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I LEFT NISSAN I REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I WENT BACK TO NISSAN THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER WAS GOING INSIDE A HOLE IN MY TRUNK AND GOING TO THE LIGHTS AND IT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I WENT TO A TRUSTED BODY SHOP AND A MECHANIC TO GET A SECOND OPINION, BOTH TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTS DID NOT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MALFUNCTION OF THE CAR., BESIDES THERE WASN'T ANY WATER MARKS INSIDE MY TRUCK. I WENT BACK TO NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN AND ANOTHER REPAIR PLACE, BOTH AFFIRMED THAT LIGHTS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION, ISSUES RELATED WITH RPM OR THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS A ENGINE CODE ON WHICH SHOWS THE PART THAT I JUST CHANGED AT NISSAN. NOW I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY BECAUSE IF I STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE CAR SOMETIMES WON'T MOVE, PEOPLE START TO HONK AT ME. IN ADDITION IT CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN AN INTERSECTION YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE YOUR CAR QUICKLY.
