2012 NISSAN VERSA Power Train Problems

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SHIFTER. THE SHIFTER MOVES FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER POSITION WITHOUT THE USE OF THE BREAK PEDAL. ALSO, THE SHIFTER SLIDES EASILY FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. FINALLY, THE CABLE BROKE AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. THIS CAR HAS 57,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID IT NEEDS A NEW SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOME NISSAN VERSAS FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY NOT THIS ONE?

MY CAA IS A NISSAN VERSA 2012 WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION,I WAS WAITING AT THE LIGHT TO MAKE MY LEFT TURN AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELRATE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS ON NEUTRAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT BUDGE STILL I CAN BACKUP BUT CANT DRIVE FORWARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE WAS ALSO PRESENT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER (FILSBEE NISSAN IN FILSBEE, TX) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

SLUGGISH ACCELERATION, HIGH REV WHILE GAS OEDAL IS PRESSED W NO ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY & CITY STREETS . JERKING INTO GEAR WHILE ADVANCING FROM A DEAD STOP . NISSAN SAYS THE CVT NEEDS REPLACED & IT ONLY HAS 45K MILES ON IT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT WOULD JERK FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (JEFF WYLER FAIRFIELD CADILLAC KIA NISSAN, 5815 DIXIE HWY, FAIRFIELD, OH 45014, (513) 682-2500) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT DECLINED TO PAY THE FEE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 30914316. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

AS I ACCELERATE, THE RPMS KEEP JUMPING AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD.

JUST HAD VEHICLE CHECKED TODAY AT COTTMAN TRANSMISSION. AFTER THEY ROAD TESTED AND RAN THEIR ANALYSIS ON THE TRANSMISSION, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NISSANS 'CVT' TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT OTHER THAN A $4000 REPLACEMENT. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND WILL NOT SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OCCASIONS PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO COTTMANS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM.THERE'S A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE 2011 & 2012 NISSAN VERSA FOR THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO MY VIN NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE STALLING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHERN 441 NISSAN (9405 SOUTHERN BLVD, ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL 33411, (561) 249-4254) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V032000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE FAMILY TRAVELING, CAR BEGAN TO SKIP AND VIBRATE AND SLOW DOWN. THEN COULD NOT PRESS GAS PEDAL AND MAINTAIN SPEED TO GET OFF ROAD IN A EXCESSABLE AREA WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT BY OTHERS NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND IT DID HAPPEN QUICKLY SO OTHERS HAD LITTLE TIME TO RESPOND. THIS HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN BUSY SECTION. AFTER TOWING BACK TO TOWN, IT WAS FOUND TO BE A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN FOR MANY YEARS AND THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON MODELS UP TO 2010 BUT SINCE MINE IS 2012, IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS EXTENSION?

WHILE DRIVING CAR STALLS . RPM GO WAY UP AND DOWN BUT DOESN'T MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS ON A HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED ON VERSAS UP TO 2010 BUT IS REACCURRING. WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE RECALL? THIS HAPPENED ON A MAIN HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 60MPH . DEALERSHIP CAN'T GET IT TO HAPPEN BUT IF YOU READ IT HAPPENS A LOT

THE CAR DOSENT ACCELARATE PROPERLY TRANS FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS AXLES MAKE NOISE AFTER BEING CHECKED AND GAS SMELL TJE CAR TURN OFF WJEN RUNNING MY TIRE POPPED AFTER BEING CHECKED

MY AUTO IS DISABLED. KEY DOESN'T TURN, THE WHEELS ARE LOCKED UP AND NOTICED THAT THERE IS HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING MADE A NOSE. I CAN'T DRIVE MY AUTO AT ALL. I AM STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAYMENTS ON THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE.

STARTED TO DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR BUCKED AND THEN HAD NO POWER AND THEN HAD POWER. STOPPED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF. HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. ALSO SOMETIMES THE POWERTRAIN SHUDDERS WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, JUST SOMETIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED. ALSO, THE GEARS INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE, REVERSE, AND NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE THREE MANUFACTURER RECALLS THAT NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED, BUT THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PARTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID SPRING OF 2018. THE DEALER (MCGAVOCK NISSAN WICHITA, 10625 E KELLOGG DR, WICHITA, KS 67207, (316) 681-6900) WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD NOT DIAGNOSED THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE RECALL DETAILS AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/13/2017 *LN THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE RADIO WOULD CHANGE ON IT'S OWN, AND THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM OPERATES ON IT'S OWN AS WELL AS GIVES INCORRECT DIRECTIONS. THE VEHICLE LUNGED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AFTER INADVERTENTLY JUMPING INTO DRIVE. *JS

WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN 1 PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HESITATES; THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THE CAR HESITATES AS IT STARTS MOVING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T PICK UP WHILE MAKING A TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP RIGHT AWAY, AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COST MORE THAN $3,000 AND A 5 YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO BAD, AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED US IF THE VEHICLES DIDN'T AVOID HITTING US ON THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLED.

I BROUGHT MY CAR(USED) IN NOVEMBER 2013, WITHIN 6 MONTHS JUNE 2014 I HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. FAST FORWARD 3 YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRE I WAS QUOTED $4,000 TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT A TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT EVERY 50,000 MILES.

VCT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WITH NO WARNING, THIS IS A DEADLY FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION, HUNDREDS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ATTEST TO THE NUMBER OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A MAJOR 4 LANE ROAD WE WERE ALMOST HIT BROADSIDE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE OTHER DRIVER SWERVED TO MISS US AND I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS A POTENTIAL DEADLY CONDITION. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING ON TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR HESITATED AND SURGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED IN THE TRAFFIC LANE WITH 65/70 MPH TRAFFIC COMING AT US. THE FIRST CAR SWERVED TO THE DITCH SIDE AND MISSED US THE REST OF THE TRAFFIC SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND STOPPED AND WENT AROUND. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING APPRX 70MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING FLUTTERING. I HAD TO TRY TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT!! I COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CODE THEY READ WAS PO846. MY CAR ONLY HAS 105K MILES!!! I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FROM MANY PEOPLE. I ALSO READ THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT ONLY UNTIL 2010!!! WHY???? THESE CARS ARE HAZARDOUS TO BE ON THE ROAD AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAWSUIT FILED!! THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH WAS DONE ON 8/25/17

ON TUESDAY, MAY 23, 2017, I WAS DRIVING ON US 95 NORTHBOUND IN LAS VEGAS. IT WAS AROUND 5:30 PM, SO RUSH-HOUR. TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE NOT EVEN GOING 15 MPH. TRAFFIC HAD STARTED TO MOVE AND AS I HIT THE CAR I NOTICED MY CAR HAD NO POWER AND MY CAR HAD DIED! A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD BUT THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING. I COASTED OVER TO THE LEFT EMERGENCY LANE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 5 MIN AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF AND THE CAR DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. I BEGAN TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THERE. BUT MY CAR SHOULDN'T JUST DIE IN TRAFFIC! I'M GLAD TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER AND NOT CRAZY! IF...

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN VERSA SV WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION IN IT. AT ABOUT 110000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE DO A DRAIN AND FILL ON THE TRANSMISSION, THAT WAS DONE CAR MADE IT 5 MILES AND TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED TO MY WIFE THIS HAS A 50/50 CHANCE OF WORKING. ON THEIR STATEMENT THEY POSTED THAT IT NEEDED A 4000 TRANSMISSION BEFORE SHE LEFT THE LOT WITH IT. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF READING ON THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR ISSUES ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL 2010 THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES, NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND THIS THEY HAVE OFFERED US 750.00 ON A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2012 NISSAN VERSA WITH ONLY 125K MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S GRANDSON WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF ANY WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED.

I WAS TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASSED 40MPH AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED OFF THE CAR. LOCATED A NISSAN DEALER AND DROVE THE CAR THERE. AT FIRST THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ONCE AGAIN NORMAL, BUT AGAIN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL PASSED 40MPH. DEALER IS STATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE! I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW ON 2/12/2013. NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE?? THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE 5000.00 TO FIX IT, BUT LOWERED THE PRICE TO 1800.00. IT'S 6000 MILES PASSED THE WARRANTY AND NOW WHAT? I NEED NISSAN USA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEARS WERE SLIPPING AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE.

I BOUGHT RECENTLY 2012 NISSAN VERSA CAR WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION. NOT EVEN AFTER 6 MONTHS OF USING THE CAR, IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE IT FOR $4300, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME AS MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR. AFTER READING MORE ONLINE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS REALLY COMMON ISSUE AND THIS TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT VERY OFTEN. ON TOP OF THAT THEY CAN'T BE REBUILD. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY HAD RECALLS ON DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT ARE STILL AVOIDING ON THIS ONE. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME SOFTWARE ISSUE, THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH PRESSURE WHEN CHANGING GEARS BETWEEN D AND L. WE WERE ABOUT TO GET THE ADVISED UPDATED LAST SATURDAY, UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE IT. THE OFFICIAL LETTER STATES THAT IT COULD LOWER THE DURABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT ON THE PHONE. MY...

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET.

I PURCHASED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA FROM HENDERSON NISSAN ON 7/6/14. HERE IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THROUGH: 7/24/14- ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP. (HAD 58,658 MILES) 5/28/15- IP COVER RECALL. 11/16/15- TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN! ALONG WITH A FACTORY RECALL. (HAD 73,918 MILES) 7/22/16- ECM SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. (HAD 83,354 MILES) 7/26/16- LOCKING SYSTEM NOW OUT. (HAD 83,400 MILES) THE CAR HAD 39K MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. IT NOW HAS 86K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN! AS SOON AS MY WARRANTY ENDS, I'M SCREWED! EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT, I'VE LOST POWER ON THE CAR. IT JUST DIES NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU ARE GOING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN MOTION. THE SECOND TIME I WAS STATIONARY THANKFULLY! I REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN'S AFFAIRS DEPT. AND GOT NO WHERE!

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VERSA IN 2012 I FELT HESITATION AND SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITHIN 2 YEARS OF THE PURCHASE I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW AT 85,000 MILES I AGAIN TOOK THE VERSA TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, BUT NOW WORSE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. WHILE IN MOTION THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES. SURGES, SLIPS, AND BUCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 83,300 MILES. NISSAN DEALERSHIP (CORONA) CHANGED OUT TRANSMISSION AND STATED NEW TRANSMISSION HAS A WARRANTY OF ONLY 12 MONTHS/12.000 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE THE COSTS OF MAINTAINING NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION SURPASSES BETTER/MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLES BY OTHER PRODUCED BY COMPANIES.

MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 65 NEAR WHITE HOUSE, TENNESSEE (AT NIGHT), AND THE RPM GAUGE PEGGED OUT; BUT HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD GO NO MORE THAN 3 OR 4 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISES. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 72,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000. THEY SAID SOME KIND OF SENSOR FAILED. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR SINCE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS FOR A VEHICLE SENSOR TO DISABLE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. I FEEL LIKE NISSAN SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR US EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH 63700 MILES. THIS CAR IS DANGERIOUS NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING HAS CAR TOWED TO THEM AND CALLED NISSAN CORPERATE AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING WHEN THERE CVT PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORECTED AND STILL FAILING ON THE NEW CARS. CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLED OF THE ROAD I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT KILLED THESE CARS ARE DANGERIOUS !!!

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION, MAKING A LEFT TURN, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE AND BACKED IT UP INTO A PARKING LOT

SHIFTER IS VERY TIGHT. WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR UNLESS USING TWO HANDS TO PULL THE SHIFTER DOWN.

WHEN I WAS BUYING THIS CAR FROM MCCULSKEY USED I QUESTIONED THE TRANSMISSION. ASKED THAT THEY PUT THIS IN WRITING. THEY REFUSED AND STATED THAT IT WAS FINE. THE TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME WAS A DEAD SPOT WHERE TRANS DID NOT SHIFT. AS TIME HAS PASSED, THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE UNTIL I COULD NOT TAKE IT. THE TRANSMISSION AT 25 MPH AND 45 MPH WENT IN TO SEIZURES. ALMOST LIKE A NEW DRIVER OF A STANDARD SHIFT. THEN THE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE. BECAUSE THEY WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE. HOW EVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE POWER PROBLEM. NO RECALLS AVAILABLE. WHILE RESEARCHING MY CAR I FOUND THAT 2007-2010 TRANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SPOKE TO NISSAN COMPANY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD...

JUNE 4, 2016, WHILE DRIVING ALONG 118 E FREEWAY I AM SEEING THAT MY RPM IS GOING UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR IS JERKING SPEED. I MERGED TO 405 S IN ABOUT 5 MINS. I WAS GETTING OFF 405 S FREEWAY FROM RAMP. THEN TRAVELLING NORTH ALONG HASKELL AVE, MY 2012 NISSAN VERSA JUST STOPPED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN TRANSMISSION. ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME JUST STOPPED. I SLOWLY EASED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THINKING THAT I'M DONE. AFTER SITTING FOR 2 MINUTES I TRIED TURNING IT ON AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE TO PICK UP MY SON WAITING AT LAX FLYWAWAY ALONG GLORIA STREET. MYSTERIOUSLY THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. I PICKED UP MY SON AND DROVE SLOWLY TO SIMI VALLEY CA STILL WITH MY RPM GOING UP AND DOWN AT TIMES. WE ARRIVED AT HOME IN SIMI...

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 18 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 25K I WAS DOING A FLUID CHECK ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STUTTER WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN I NOTICED THE MY COOLANT RESERVOIR TANK WAS BONE DRY. I FOUND SOME COOLANT IN MY GARAGE AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED IT TO THE RESERVOIR TO GET IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION. THE SERVICE TECH LOOKED AT THE CAR AND KEPT SAYING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT I ADDED SOME TO GET IT THERE. THEY FINALLY TOOK MY CAR BACK AND HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS. WHEN I CAME DOWN TO PICK IT UP THAT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT....

MY CAR HAS BEEN ACTING LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT WHEN I ACCELERATE ON A HILL. IT JERKS AND THE RPMS SPIKE UP AND DOWN BUT NO INCREASE IN SPEED. MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT THIS IS AN ACCELERATOR CABLE ISSUE AND THAT PART IS OVER $700. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY 2012 VERSAS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, SOME HAVE EVEN STALLED WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I TRIED TO PULL OUT AT A RED LIGHT AND EVEN THOUGH I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR DID NOT MOVE, THE RPMS DID NOT CHANGE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. A DAY LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT I PURCHASED A NISSAN VERSA ON APRIL 5, 2015. THE NIGHT I DROVE IT HOME I NOTICED A FEW PROBLEMS: FIRST: THE SEAT BELT LIGHT STAYS ON UNLESS BOTH FRONT SEATS ARE BUCKLED EVEN IF THE DRIVE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSE FOR THE VEHICLE TO NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AND THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM IS TELLING ME THEY TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THIS IS PROPER FUNCTION FOR THE NISSAN VERSA. THE MECHANIC FROM THE INSPECTION STATION AND I EACH CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AND EACH OF THE DEALERSHIPS WE SPOKE WITH SAID THIS IS IN FACT INCORRECT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. SECOND: THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING OR SHIFTING (ATLEAST THAT IS HOW I DESCRIBED IT). I TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND RPM'S MOVED WAY UP BUT THE...

I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION I INADVERTENTLY BUMPED INTO MY GEAR SHIFTER HANDLE AND MY CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITHOUT THE BREAK BEING DEPRESSED OR APPLIED. I ALMOST HAD AN CAR CRASH/ACCIDENT WITH THE PERSON DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. IN MARCH OF 2016 I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. MY CAR HAS APRROXAMETLY 57,470 MILES AS OF 03/30/2016 AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON ANY NISSAN OR NHSTA CAMPAIGN RECALL LISTS.

OUR VERSA WILL NOT ACCELERATE, AT RANDOM INTERVALS, WHEN WE ARE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN MORTOR COMPANY NORTH AMERICA, THEY ACKOWLEDGED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT ONE OR MORE PARTS USED IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION WERE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. YET, THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE, REPAIR, OR EVEN ASSIST WITH REPAIRING OUR VERSA. I AM AFRAID THAT WE MAY ONE DAY BE HIT FROM BEHIND AS WE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS ACTUALLY ALMOST OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

HESITATION GOING UP ANY INCLINE. JUST STARTED WHEN IT HIT 60000. WARRANTY ONLY FOR 50000. LOOKS LIKE NISSAN BUILT IT TO JUST GET BY THEN OVER 50000 YOU ARE OUT BIG TIME. MY BIG ISSUE IS I HAD TO TRADE CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER WHO DROVE THIS. ALMOST HAD 2 ACCIDENTS IN A WEEK BECAUSE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FOR SAFETY ISSUES. ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND OVER HEATS. TOOK IT TO 3 TRANSMISSION SHOPS ALL 3 SAY IT UNREPAIRABLE.WAS ALSO TO CVT TRANSMISSION WILL BE DISCONTINUED AND THEY ALL IN TIME WILL OVER HEAT AND CHEAPLY MADE AND A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT BUT A CVT IS A DEFECT AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NO ERRORS WAS CAUSED BY ME AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD HAVE CONTACT NESSIN AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON-LINE
