2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

NISSAN VERSA NOTE 2014 49000 MILES ON 12/31/2018, TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE CORRECTLY, I WENT TO NISSAN A MONTH AFTER WARRENTY EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN TRANSMISSION SLIPS. HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL DRIVING.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR BOUNCES OR VIBRATES, THEN I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR SO THE GEARS WILL CHANGE,I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED SO I LIVE WITH IT, THE CAR HAS 15,340 MILES ON IT CAN YOU HELP ME?

WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN VERSA I NEED TO LET IT WARM UP COMPLETELY. WHEN I SAY COMPLETELY I MEAN WAIT ABOUT 10-15 MIN BEFORE DRIVING OFF. IF I DO NOT MY CAR WILL STALL WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES. SOME TIMES IT DOESNT BUT NOW THAT IT IS COLDER WEATHER IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. IF I DO LEAVE BEFORE IT WARMS UP I EXPECT IT TO STALL AT THE STOP SIGN, LIGHT, TURN, OR TRAFFIC. I USUALLY HAVE TO KICK IT INTO PARK TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL ITS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES IT WONT EVEN WANT TO WORK AGAIN UNTIL ITS WARMED UP SO SOMETIMES IM JUST STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TODAY MY CAR DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I WORK ONLY ABOUT 7 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND IT STALLED 5 TIMES.

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.

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.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BLINKS, NO RECALL IS SHOWING FOR MY VEHICLE VIN. AIRBAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. DISPLAYS REGARDLESS OF SPEED. HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR MONTHS (NEARLY A YEAR AS BEST I CAN RECALL), THIS IS THE FIRST I BECAME AWARE OF A METHOD TO REPORT.

NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS RECALLING 14,595 VEHICLES, INCLUDING THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN, BECAUSE THE ENGINE MAY SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME LIKE 10 TIMES... I WAS DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC AND IT WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING. IT KEPT TURNING OFF. I WAS AFRAID I HAD TO MUCH GOING ON WIL THEPOWER LIKE A POWER DRAIN SO I TURNED OFF MY RADIO AND LIGHTS AND MADE IT HOME.

THIS VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH TO LESS THAN 30 WITH THE RPMS OVER 5000 ON THE ROBERT F KENNEDY BRIDGE. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FAST THINKING PERSON BEHIND HER THIS WOULD'VE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO GO OVER 30 WITH THE RPMS OVER 5000 ALL THE WAY TO LONG ISLAND. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION SHE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION HER VEHICLE IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD THAT SHE HAS HAD IT SHE BOUGHT IT WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT IT NOW HAS 75,100 MILES ON IT THE DEALER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BAD TRANSMISSION THEY WANT US TO PAY OVER $2000 TO FIX. THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX IT AND LESS WE COME UP WITH $2000 THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THERE'S CVT TRANSMISSIONS CAN YOU HELP THE CAR IS STILL SITTING AT NISSAN BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY NOR WOULD WE EXPECTING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH THIS LARGE SUM

BOUGHT THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA IN 2013. TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. HAD 72,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT IN EARLY SEPT. 2018. MANY OF THE MILES WERE SMALL TRIP HIGHWAY MILES, NOT EVEN CITY MILES. NISSAN DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. RATHER THAN PUT THE $3,880.00 INTO IT I TRADED IT IN. I EXPECTED IT TO LAST ANOTHER 5 YEARS AND FEEL NISSAN SCREWED ME, AND FROM WHAT I AM NOW HEARING, A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE TOO.

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL IN TRAFFIC AND NOT GOING INTO GEAR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S CVTRANSMISSIONS
