WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN 1 PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HESITATES; THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THE CAR HESITATES AS IT STARTS MOVING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T PICK UP WHILE MAKING A TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP RIGHT AWAY, AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COST MORE THAN $3,000 AND A 5 YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO BAD, AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED US IF THE VEHICLES DIDN'T AVOID HITTING US ON THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLED.

HELLO I JUST RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL 17V-449 FOR MY NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK VIN [XXX]. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT BE MOVED UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE MADE. HOWEVER NISSAN SAYS IT WILL TAKE 8 MONTHS UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. YOU PEOPLE AT THE NHTSA ARE PART OF THE RECALL AND YOU ALLOW IS! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. HOW COULD YOU ALLOW A COMPANY 8 MONTHS TO CORRECT A DEADLY PROBLEM. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK AUTO TO DEALER FOR RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER COMPLETION AND OIL CHANGE DEALER TELLS ME ABOUT A RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION YET. DEALER SUGGESTS WE PARK THE AUTO AND NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL PARTS TO REPAIR ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH WILL BE APRIL OF 2018. THAT IS 7 MONTHS! WILL GIVE US A "NEW" RENTAL VEHICLE EVERY 30 DAYS, BUT WE HAVE TO FURNISH INSURANCE COVERAGE ON THE VEHICLE. FOR WORK I PARK IN A GARAGE, AND SCRATCHES AND OCCASIONALLY DINGS HAPPEN. THIS WOULD BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR ME, BUT THEY ARE EXPLAINING THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR. I HAVE A $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A VERY EXPENSIVE SOLUTION. WHY WOULD TAKATA NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE? WHY SHOULD I ASSUME SUCH LIABILITY AND POSSIBLY EXPENSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO HAYS NISSAN, MADISON, TENNESSEE. UPDATED 11/6/2017*JS

I BROUGHT MY CAR(USED) IN NOVEMBER 2013, WITHIN 6 MONTHS JUNE 2014 I HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. FAST FORWARD 3 YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRE I WAS QUOTED $4,000 TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT A TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT EVERY 50,000 MILES.

ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED FOUR SEPARATE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. WITHOUT WARNING, TOTALLY LOST POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. AT FIRST, ENGINE WOULD RESTART, COUGH AND SPUTTER, THEN DIE. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES, HOWEVER, IT RESTARTED LIKE NORMAL AND IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. DROVE FINE FOR MONTHS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN. THIS STARTED OCCURRING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 85,000 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AFTER LAST INCIDENT (ABOUT 95,000 MILES) AND THEY SAID THEY RAN COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, BUT COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ADVISED ME TO HAVE VEHICLE BROUGHT IN NEXT TIME IT STALLS (BUT THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE TRANSITORY). I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REAR-ENDED.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION STALLING AND SLIPPING ISSUES WITHIN TWO MONTHS. MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DIED ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WENT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT FIX IT, NOR DO I THINK THEY EVEN LOOKED AT IT. MY CAR STALLS, SLIPS, GRINDS AND VIBRATES EVERY TIME I GAS IT. THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF OTHER TIMES MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND I'VE BEEN TO MY DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES DURING WARRANTY AND AFTER WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION, IN WHICH I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR IT, AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED MONTHS AFTER I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. I'VE TRIED LOOKING THIS RECALL UP, AND I CANNOT FIND IT. PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED WHEN IT HAS NOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND I FEEL AS IF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM IS ADDING TO THE LACK OF SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE.
