2014 NISSAN VERSA CVT TRANSMISSION...WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT AT 70 THOUSAND MILES. I HAD IT SERVICED AT 60 THOUSAND FOR ALL FLUIDS AND FILTERS DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION I WAS MID WAY HOME FROM DROPPING MY NIECE OFF HOME AND THE VERSA STARTED SLIPPING GEARS AND SHUDDERING I ALMOST CAUSED A 5 CAR ACCIDENT IF I HADN'T PULLED OUT THE WAY OF THE CAR BEHIND ME. IMAGINE IF I HAD MY NIECE IN THE CAR WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE DID CRASH BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY WANT 3800.00 TO FIX IT. I AM ONE OF THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS OF NISSAN NOT RECALLING THERE CARS KNOWING THEY PUT OUT A HORRIBLE AND DANGEROUS PRODUCT OUT ON THE ROADS.

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?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. AT 122,500, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO "SHUDDERING", THE CAR AT TIMES WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE, AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN "T-BONED" AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, CAUSING THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE PHONED, EMAILED, AND WRITTEN TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA (CERTIFIED MAIL) WARNING THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. I SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST (615-725-7884). I MENTIONED TO HER THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING AND THAT THE CAR'S FAILING TRANSMISSION POSED A SAFETY HAZARD. HER REPLY WAS THE "THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." SHE REPEATED THAT NUMEROUS TIMES AND SEEMED NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT OF DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA CVT TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING, FAILING TO ACCELERATE, AND ACTING ERRATICALLY. THIS IS CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I AND MY SON WERE ALMOST "T-BONED" WHILE PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CVT, AT TIMES, FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY, PUTTING DRIVER AT RISK. THIS CAR HAS 122,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ORIGINAL CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 65,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT CVT TRANSMISSION IS NOW FAILING. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY DEALER, NISSAN AUTOFARE STRATHAM, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SINCE SENT CERTIFIED LETTER TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NOTIFYING THEM OF THIS. I SPOKE TO MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST/DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO REALLY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT, AND STATED NISSAN WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW TRANSMISSION FAILED AT JUST 55,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS PARTICULAR CVT TRANSMISSION AS I HAD 2 FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN JUST 122,000 MILES. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THESE FAILURES REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AND THE RESEARCH I DONE INDICATES THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS CVT PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THANK YOU.
