A RECALL JOB, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPGRADE, WAS COMPLETED BY TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOW MY NISSAN VERSA WILL GO NO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. NO INDICATIONS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE WERE DISPLAYED UPON COMPLETION OF THE RECALL CORRECTION. THIS CAR IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 102,640 MILES. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN LOGGED WITH NISSAN, BUT MY EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INEFFECTIVE THUS FAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO THE TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 10/20/2020 AND KEPT OVER NIGHT. ON 10/21/2020, THE RECALL WAS COMPLETE AND THE NISSAN WAS DRIVEN AWAY. LESS THAN 20 MINUTES LATER, THE TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WOULD GO NO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. ON THE SAME DATE, 10/21/2020, THE NISSAN WAS TOWED BACK, AT MY EXPENSE, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED PENDING DISCISSIONS WITH NISSAN.

MY NISSAN VERSA 2014 HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILE'S ON IT. AFTER RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN CRV TRANSMISSIONS FOR VEHICLES INCLUDING MY MAKE AND MODEL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE ON A SECONDARY ROADWAY.

SPECIFICALLY, MY TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GO BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACING. THE COST IS 3200. IN ADDITION THE CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA 130,000 MILES. I FEEL AFTER READING MY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN CONTINUED TO INSTALL ON MANY VEHICLES AND ENDANGERING THE OWNERS LIVES NISSAN SHOULD EITHER RECALL MY CAR OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THEIR COST .

VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. STARTED HESITATING TO ACCELERATE AND TOOK LONG TO SHIFT (THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAR STARTED JERKING AND WOULD NOT GO PAST 10-15 MPH. PULLED OVER, BROUGHT GEARS BACK DOWN TO THE PARK POSITION, BUT THAT ONLY MADE IT WORSE. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND HAS BEEN STUCK NOW FOR A WEEK. STARTED RESEARCH ON VEHICLE AND LEARNED MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THIS CLASS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND WILL NOT FIX. WHY NOT?? THEY APPARENTLY BUILT A FAULTY VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE GETTING A LAWYER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN THERE WAS A SCREECHING NOISE AT ANY POINT OF ACCELERATION THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKES. I GOT THE BRAKES CHANGED BUT THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT HAS CAUSED NOT ONLY ME BUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE PROBLEMS AS WELL. ONE OF THE BELTS IN THE TRANSMISSION IS SCREECHING AND CAUSING OTHER THINGS IN MY CAR TO NOT FUNCTION AS WELL. THIS IS NOT OKAY TO KNOW AND SELL A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL SOON. I GOT THE CAR IS NOW AT 106,000 MILES. IT MAKES ME SCARED TO KNOW I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE CAR CAN GO AT ANY TIME.

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2014. I HAD THE BODY THROTTLE REPLACED, THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW THE ELECTRICAL MOTORS FOR THE DOORS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK IS GOING OUT. I TRULY FEEL WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS A LEMON. BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND SHORTY THEREAFTER, THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW ON 23 FEB 2020. I AM ON MY WAY TO CHURCH WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THE MOTOR IS GOING OUT THAT CONTROLS LOCKING MY CARS DOORS. WHEN THE THROTTLE GAVE OUT I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE. WHEN THE FAN GAVE OUT ON THE AC, I NOTICE THAT THE AC NO LONGER WORK AND I ATTEMPTED ADD FREON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FAN ON THE AC. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE MOTOR ON FOR THE LOCK/UNLOCK. IT'S A SHAME THAT CARS ARE ONLY MADE TO LAST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR AT THE LOWEST COST POSSIBLE AND THE SELL THEM FOR OUTRAGEOUS PRICE OVER THE FAIR MARKET PRICE. SOMETIME ITS JUST BETTER TO PURCHASE A USED CAR OPPOSED TO NEW VEHICLE THAT YOU THINK WILL LAST AND BUT ITS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.

PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. RPM GO VERY HIGH AND IT WON'T SWITCH GEARS, THEN AFTER STRUGGLING IT WILL SWITCH GEAR BUT JERK THE CAR VERY HARD AND YOU CAN HEAR IT SWITCH VERY HARD. IT DOES DOES IN THE STREET AND HIGHWAY. MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY TRANSMISSION FAILING TO SWITCH TO HIGHER GEARS AND OTHER CARS HITTING ME FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO GO INTO FASTER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN AT THE 50K MILES YET.

I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL IN VENTURA WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. PRIOR TO THAT THE CAR WOULD JERK LIKE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND WOULD HESITATE. FINALLY THE CAR WOULD GO FORWARD AND I HAD TO STOP AT VONS FOR THE CAR TO BE TOWED. I WAS 58 MILES FROM HOME. IT WAS REALLY SCARY BUT I WAS FORTUNATE THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BEHIND ME AND THE CAR DID NOT RUN OFF THE LEDGE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND CAME TO A FOUR-WAY STOP. I STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WAITED FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC, THEN PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO EASE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED IT. THIS TIME, THE GEARS ENGAGED, BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER BEFORE IT MOVED FORWARD. FROM READING OTHER ACCOUNTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT. AFTER THAT, I TOOK BACK ROADS HOME, AND DID NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP UNTIL I REACHED MY HOUSE.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. I GOT THIS CAR NEW AND EVERY YEAR SINCE OWNING THIS CAR THERE HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BEYOND REPAIR ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR. THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. MECHANIC SHOPS SAID I NEED NISSAN TO REPAIR THIS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR! I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I AM IN A DEATH TRAP VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON. I AM HAVING TO PAY HIGH MAINTENANCE FEES AND CAR PAYMENTS. IN A CAR THAT CAN GET ME KILLED. NISSAN KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE 2014 CARS BUT HAS NOT REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT IT. THEY RECALLED SOME 2014 VERSAS BUT NOT ALL. I STRONGLY BELIEVED I WAS SOLD A HIGHLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE'S NO REASON WHY A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVERY YEAR ON A NEW CAR.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE 2004 TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING WHEN DRIVING AND IT WONT DOWN SHIFT WHEN YOU GET GOING. NISSAN HAS MANY LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM BUT THEY WONT HELP ME AT ALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOUGHT 2014 NISSAN VERSA ON 09/10/19. HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY MECHANIC AND CHECKED OUT GOOD. HAD FOR 2.5 - 3 WEEKS AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED STALLING WHILE STOPPED. HAD TO TURN HEADLIGHTS OFF WHEN STOPPING AND THEN TURN THEM ON AGAIN WHEN CAR GOT GOING AGAIN. TOOK TO AAMCO IN LOUISVILLE KY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. SPENT $400 TO HAVE REPLACED AND THINGS WERE GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO TURN LIGHTS OFF/ON AT NIGHT. DROVE TO KY THIS WEEKEND TO GET CAR AND BRING HOME TO MO TO HAVE FIXED (HOPEFULLY). I CANNOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE 500 MILES AWAY FROM ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND STOPPED FOR THE RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I PRESSED THE GAS IT WOULD MOVE. I SLOWLY GOT IT TO MOVE, BUT ONCE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD BARELY MOVE AND THE CAR IN BACK OF ME ALMOST HIT ME. WHILE IN MOTION IT WOULD BECOME WHERE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS WOULD BE IN VAIN. THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I COULD HARDLY MAKE IT TO MY HOME. ONCE I TRIED TO BACK UP I COULD HEAR A SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORTS OR SOMETHING ELSE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA SV AND HAS 79,589 TOTAL MILES TODAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING.
