NHTSA Complaint #11279968 — 2015 NISSAN VERSA NOTE

PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST 2019 AT 125,000 MILES. BY OCTOBER 2019, THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND WILL COST $4,400 TO REPLACE BY NISSAN. MY 18YO NIECE WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND IT COULD'VE BEEN DETRIMENTAL OR FATAL FOR HER. I LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND THERE'S AN OPEN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR KNOWINGLY INSTALLING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THEIR VERSAS. HOW COULD THEY DO THIS? ARE THEY WAITING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED OR INJURED WHILE DRIVING DEFECTIVE CARS? IT'S NOT RIGHT. THE WORST THING IS THAT NISSAN'S RESPONSE TO THE SUIT IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 84,000 MILES, WHICH DOESN'T HELP ME AND MANY OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION, INSTEAD OF RECALLING AND FIXING THE ISSUE, WHICH IS WHAT SHOULD BE DONE! WHY PUNISH PEOPLE FOR MILEAGE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTINED TO FAIL FROM THE BEGINNING? THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND WRONG.
