NHTSA Complaint #11329329 — 2012 NISSAN VERSA

THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES SINCE MANUFACTURED. NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS MADE PATCH WORK OF THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE RECALL DEADLINE WAS MAY 9,2020 THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED BUT UNWILLING TO REPAIR IT UNDER THE RECALL AT MY COST. IN GOOD FAITH OF THE COMPANY, THEY KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND SHOULD COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE COST AND I WAS WILLINGLY TO PAY A PORTION HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THEIR SHOP BEFORE THE DEADLINE DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT LOCKDOWN. THE CODE THAT THE ALWAYS COMES UP ON WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IS P0486. THE HAVE REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE REPROGRAM IT AND DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL AFTER THEIR RECALL WAS EXPIRED. I HAVE BARELY PUT 4300 MILES ON IT SINCE THE PATCH JOB THEY DID. THEY SAID THAT THIS PATCH WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE AND THE SAME ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON BUT WENT OFF PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT IN JUNE BUT ON THREE DAYS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN?T GET ME IN UNTIL JUNE 10. *TR
