MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME AFTER BUYING GROCERIES, WE WERE IN A VERY BUSY STREET, WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE WAS PEOPLE BEHIND US AND NEXT TO US. IT WAS HARD TO MOVE TO PULL OVER. FINALLY WE LEARNED OUR TRANSMISSION (CVT) WAS BROKEN. THIS WILL COST US ALMOST AS MUCH AS WE PAID FOR THE CAR. ALL THIS HAPPENED AS WE REACHED 65,000 MILES. AND CONVENIENTLY ENOUGH, THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS UP TO 60,000.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE OWN A 2013 NISSAN VERSA, WITH 52,310 MILES. WE KEEP GREAT CARE OF THE CAR, WITH ROUTINE MAINTANCE CHECKS, OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATIONS, ETC. THE CAR IS HOUSED IN THE MIDWEST, THUS DRIVING ON A FAIRLY FLAT SURFACE IT'S WHOLE EXISTENCE. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE FOUND OUT WE HAVE TO GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN OUR VEHICLE COSTING $4,050. THIS SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS AS OUR VEHICLE HAS LESS MILES THAN THE AVERAGE VEHICLE PUTS ON EACH YEAR. WE ALSO HAVE TO GET NEW FRONT BRUSHING COSTING $387.53. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH THAT LITTLE OF MILEAGE ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND. OUTRAGEOUS!. THE VEHICLE CLOCKS WHEN BRAKING, GOING OVER THE SMALLEST BUMPS, AND TURNING. THE VAHIE STRUGGLES TO GET UP TO 40 MPH AND HAS A NOTICEABLE KICK TO IT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AS SOON AS WE NOTICED A PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS GOING 35 MPH AND I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AS I NOTICED THE CARS INFRONT OF ME WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT, I PRESSED MY BREAKS AND NOTICED I BARELY EVEN SLOWED DOWN AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME I PUT MY EMERGENCY BREAK ON AND IT MADE MY CAR SLIDE FORWARD FORCING MY CAR INTO THE REAR END OF THE CAR AHEAD OF MINE. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS AN ESTIMATE.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES ON THE CAR. COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. IF NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY SELLING CARS WITH DEFECTIVE OR SUBSTANDARD COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, ACCELERATED WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. FINALLY DID MOVE ENOUGH TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. HAD CAR TOWED OVER 150 MILES BACK TO AUSTIN, TEXAS AND DROPPED OFF AT LAMB'S TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE ON W. SLAUGHTER LANE. TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BRAND NEW WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 6500.00. REBUILT ABOUT 1/2 THAT AMOUNT. DID NOT FIX. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO OUR HOUSE WHERE IT STILL SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY.

CVT TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE LOSES POWER. TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SHUTTERS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. TACHOMETER REVS HIGH. SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND OR CITY DRIVING. MULTIPLE STALLS OR ATTEMPTS TO STALL ESPECIALLY WHILE AC IS RUNNING. TRIPS TO THE DEALER WHO SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG OR "UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING". 10/26 VISIT TO THE DEALER FINALLY SHOWS CVT TRANSMISSION IN FAILURE. CALLS TO NISSAN RESULTED IN BEING HUNG UP ON. DEALER IS REPLACING CVT UNDER WARRANTY. OLD HAS 48K MILES. AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS DUE TO RISK OF ACCIDENT OR ADDITIONAL FAILURES IN TRAFFIC THAT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

MY 2018 NISSAN VERSA SV DOES NOT HAVE A BACKUP CAMERA. IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE UPGRADED BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER? ALSO IT HAS A MECHANICAL KEY SYSTEM WHICH I READ WAS GOING TO BE RECALLED ON OCT 19, 2018 DUE TO POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE MECHANICAL KEY SYSTEM, IS IT TRUE THERE IS A RECALL BEING ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NEW) IN 2012 FOR THE 2013 NISSAN VERSA, I NOTICED THAT WHEN TAKING OFF AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE/TRANS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS A HESITATING TO GO. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE GUY WHEN I WENT IN FOR MY FIRST OIL CHANGE, HE SAID THAT IT'S BECAUSE IT A CVT TRANSMISSION. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO OR SO, THE CAR WOULD JERK WHEN TAKING OFF AT 20MPH AND THE RPM NEEDLE WOULD GO UP AND DOWN AS I ACCELERATE TO GO FASTER, I'VE TAKEN THIS CAR FOR OIL CHANGES AND KEPT UP WITH THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES. I'VE HAD THE TRANS OIL CHANGED AND IT STILL DOES THIS ESPECIALLY GOING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR HESITATES TO GO, AND NOW I READ THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES JUST LIKE I DO. THIS MORNING WHEN GETTING ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GO TO WORK, I WAS ACCELERATING AND IT HESITATED (LIKE ALWAYS), THEN AS I GAVE IT GAS, IT JERKED (RMP NEEDLE JUMPED TO 4 THEN BACK DOWN TO 2) AND SPED UP AND I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I'M SO NERVOUS RIGHT NOW. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I'M A SINGLE MOM OF 3 AND VERY PRECIOUS CARGO WITH ME. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS REALLY BAD SYSTEM, AND THEN SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

HAD MUFFLER REPLACED TWICE DUE TO EROSION?! THE MAIN PROBLEM THOUGH IS THAT I STILL HAVE A CONSTANT RATTLING WHEN I'M STOPPED OR CAR IS IDILING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE I HAD MY MUFFLER FIXED AND AFTER IT'S BEEN FIXED. SO I KNOW IT'S NOT THE MUFFLER. THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE. BUT, THE RATTLING SOUNDS LIKE A LOUD MUFFLER, BUT GETS LOUDER THE MORE I'M IDLING. WHEN I START THE CAR IT'S LOUD LIKE A CORRODED MUFFLER, BUT I JUST HAD IT REPLACED, SO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

MY PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEEN CATCHING ON SOMETHING AS IT OPENS. THE BLACK PLASTIC PIECE THAT STRETCHES OUT AS YOU OPEN THE DOOR IS VISIBLY SCRATCHED, AS IF IT IS CATCHING ON METAL IN THE DOOR. THE WINDOW ALSO HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK AND WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN ALL THE WAY. THIS WEEKEND THE DOOR WAS HARD TO OPEN, AND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR, THE WINDOW GOT OFF TRACK. MY BOYFRIEND AND I TRIED TO SEE IF WE COULD MOVE IT, BUT DID NOT WANT TO MESS IT UP ANY MORE THAN IT ALREADY WAS. HE WENT TO ROLL IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE, AND THE WHOLE WINDOW SHATTERED. I DONT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS, BECAUSE THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED.
