WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. RE STARTED IT THEN IT WAS SLUGGISH AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AGAIN I FELT A QUICK THUNK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. FINALLY GOT IT HOME WHEN PUT IT ON CODE READER IT CAME UP WITH CODE P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT WHEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. NOW I AM STUCK HAVING TO PAY AROUND $2000 TO GET MY CAR FIXED.

POWER TRAIN
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.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ALMOST ANY SPEED ABOVE 15MPH THE CAR HAS JERKY SHIFTING MOVEMENTS LIKE IT CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT GEAR. WHILE TRAVELLING AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED "VALVE BODY" REPLACEMENT. THAT COST AN ASTOUNDING $2100+ TO FIX. GOT IT BACK AND THE PROBLEM IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. CHECKED ONLINE AND TONS OF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. NISSAN HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS JUNK. I'M OUT BIG MONEY AND THEY ARE LIKELY TO RECOMMEND MORE "FIXES" FOR THE ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I DRIVE IN THE WINTER TIME AND APPLY THE BRAKES ON A SLIPPERY ROAD THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO USE THE BRAKES. INSTEAD, THE BRAKES POP AND CLICK UNTIL MY CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN. I ENDED UP SLIDING LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. OTHER DRIVERS WERE AWARE MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE STOPPING AND ALLOWED ME TO PROCEED. THAT HAPPENED IN THE 1ST TIME IN DECEMBER 2017. THE FOLLOWING YEAR I HAD MY BRAKES CHECK AND THE SERVICE STATION CLAIMED THE COULDN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THEM. I HAD MY BRAKES SERVICED BEFORE THE WINTER OF 2018. MY BRAKES STILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING ALL WINTER LONG ON THE SLIPPERY STREETS. ALSO I'M HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE IT'S LOCKED. WHEN I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR UP AND RUNNING A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT WANTS TO STALL. THIS JUST HAPPENED THE LAST 2 DAYS. I'M GOING TO GET THAT SERVICED ASAP. THAT DAY WAS NOVEMBER 23, 2019. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL ISSUES AND IT'S ONLY 3 YRS OLD. THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN VERSA (BRAND NEW) CAR RAN WELL UNTIL 11/18/19. WHEN I LEFT WORK, STARTED CAR AS USUAL AND HEADED HOME. PASSED A ROUNDABOUT ALONG WITH SOME FREEWAY DRIVING. WHILE ON ROBERTS RD. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT (WAITING FOR RIGHT AWAY) CAR SEEMED FINE, BUT ONCE I APPLIED THE GAS TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT. NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE DUMMY LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO AND HEAT WAS STILL WORKING BUT CAR SHUT DOWN AT RUSH HOUR. I COULD NOT MOVE. I CALLED FOR THE POLICE TO HELP THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SENT TO DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF CARS STALLING. WHY WAS I NOT MADE AWARE AND SOLD A LEMON. I THANK GOD THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY OR ROUNDABOUT. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT MY HUNCH TOLD ME IT'S A LEMON AND NOT TO KEEP IT. I NOW OWN A 2020 TOYOTA COROLLA. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH, VERY SCARY. FYI IF YOU GOGGLE NISSAN CARS STALLING THERE IS A NEWS STORY FROM KTNV CHANNEL 13 OUT OF NEVADA.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND AFTER THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY DONE BECAUSE AFTER THIS I'M NOT EVEN POSITIVE THEY WORKED ON MY CAR FOR THAT RECALL. AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE NOW THE CAR HORN IN MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOT WORKING WHEN IT WAS WORKING BEFORE. THE NISSAN ADVISOR SAID THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE IS AN OLD CAR. THEY WANT ME TO PAY ALMOST 700 HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THEM TO FIX WHAT THEY RUINED. NOW I HAVE NO CAR HORN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE ON THE ROAD. A CAR HORN WORKS TO ADVICE OTHER DRIVERS OF ANY HAZARD. FROM THIS HAPPENING TO ME I NOW THINK THAT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG RECALLS AND THAT I JUST TOOK MY CAR JUST FOR THEM TO SCAM ME SO I CAN PAY FOR A PART THAT WAS WORKING AND THAT THEY RUINED. THE NISSAN I WENT TOO IS NAPLES NISSAN IN NAPLES, FLORIDA. I ALSO HAVE CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING IN THIS MATTER I HAVE TWO CLAIM NUMBERS ALREADY I HAVE CALLED TWICE AND THERE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MATTER.

THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. AND BRAKES SEEM NOT TO STOP THE CAR (WEAKENED BRAKE PADS) IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. ALSO THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER WHEN STATIONARY AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY OR WHILE IN MOTION. I HOPE THEY DON'T RENT VEHICLE OUT UNTIL MECHANICAL ISSUES ARE SOLVED

STEERING CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. LETTER REGARDING THE MALFUNCTIONING OF GEAR SHIFTS, TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH DAMAGED BY 5 SPEED MANUAL NISSAN TRANSMISSION AND STOPPED MY ABILITY TO SHIFT GEARS FROM 5. NO GEARS WORKED I WAS TRAVELING ON ARIZONA HWY 60 WITH CARS GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS HEADED WEST TO PHOENIX FOR 17 HWY AND I WAS BETWEEN EXITS 152 AND 153 THAT IS WHERE HIGHWAY PATROL WHEN THEY ARRIVED COULD STOP TRAFFIC AND USE THEIR VEHICLE TO PUSH MINE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND CARS OR TRUCKS COULD HAVE KILLED ME EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FLASHERS ON UNTIL HIGHWAY PATROL ARRIVED. I HAVE REPORTS. THE SUDDEN MALFUNCTION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS ON A NEW VEHICLE PURCHASED ON FEBRUARY 27TH FROM JIM CLICK NISSAN IN TUCSON ARIZONA.

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.
