I HAVE HAD MY NISSAN VERSA 2015 SV SINCE APRIL OF LAST YEAR WITH A AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION IT CURRENTLY HAS 20,300 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I DO NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DATE OF WHEN THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRED THEY STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE THE CAR JERKS EXTREMELY HARD . ALSO WHEN I ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT UNLESS I RELEASE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS WHEN I AM GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AS I CANNOT SPEED UP PROPERLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE COMPANY OR THE DEALERSHIP ( BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE FRIENDLIEST OF DEALERSHIPS) ABOUT MY PROBLEM BUT I HOPE I CAN GET SOME KIND OF SOLUTION THROUGH YOU.

I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA SL MODEL, THE TRUNK DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. EVERYDAY I HAVE TROUBLE CLOSING THE TRUNK OF MY CAR, THE CAR MAKES A BEEPING SOUND ALARMING ME THAT MY TRUNK IS OPEN, I TRY CLOSING IT AND IT WILL NOT LATCH ON. THE ONLY WAY I CAN CLOSE IT, IS IF I HAVE THE CAR DOOR OPEN. SO I CLOSE THE TRUNK FIRST, THEN I CLOSE THE CAR DOOR IN ORDER FOR MY TRUNK TO CLOSE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AND VERY ANNOYING. PLEASE RECALL THE TRUNK LATCH.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVERY TIME I GET GAS MY CAR CUTS OFF. I PUMPED THE GAS START THE CAR AND DRIVE A COUPLE FEET AND CAR CUTS OFF. NISSAN DOESN'T THINK ITS IMPORTANT AND THAT SENSE THEY CAN'T SEE THE PROBE IT ISN'T TRUE. I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DUE TO WHATEVER IS GOING ON. BRAKES GET STUCK OR GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND GAS DRAINS VERY QUICKLY.

SUSPENSION
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65MPH AND OVER THE CAR SHIFTS RIGHT AND LEFT AS IF WIND IS BLOWING THE CAR ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND WAS PURCHASED WITH 10 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MAY OF 2015. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN WAS CONTACTED BY ME AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEMS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS MODEL AND THEREFORE NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SHIFTING. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SPARKS/NISSAN IN MONROE LOUISIANA STATES THAT THE MODEL IS A NORMAL SITUATION. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY HAS THE SALES STAFF NOT INFORMED THE CUSTOMERS THAT A SITUATION COULD EXIST? THE CAR SHOULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY HAZARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS UNDER NORMAL CITY LOW SPEED DRIVING THE CONDITION IS NOT NOTICED. NISSAN CORPORATION 615-7257445 WILL DO NOTHING, MY CASE #2035821 COMPLAINT. I AM ASKING FOR A REPURCHASE BY NISSAN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN HOPES OF BUYING A CAR DEEMED TO BE SAFE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED ON A LONG TRIP FROM LOUISIANA TO FLORIDA AND BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

THE SPEED IS ESTIMATED AT 30 MPH, THE ROAD BEING TRAVELED HAD A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH AND THE DRIVER WAS STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT.

ALL COMPLAINTS WERE DISMISSED WITHOUT THE CAR BEING INSPECTED. WE WERE TOLD THE CAR JUST HAD THEIR CERTIFIED PREOWNED INSPECTION AND/OR WE NEEDED TO GET USED TO DRIVING A NEW CAR.
