2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

SYMPTOMS ' CAR DRIVEN TODAY ABOUT 100 MILES. ENGINE SHUTOFF FOR GAS UP. ON RESTART THE ENGINE CAME ON,BUT NO POWER WHEN IN GEAR. PRESS OF ACCELERATOR BUT CAR BARELY MOVED. SHUTDOWN AND TURN BACK ON AND GOT A LITTLE POWER. LOOKED AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THOSE DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. LIGHTS CHECKED AND ARE GOOD BULBS. THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO ANY MOVEMENT FROM ON THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING NEUTRAL AND PARK. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, ETC. HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, NISSAN MECHANIC NOTED THE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND GOT THOSE TO COME BACK ON. ONCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED, THE ISSUE SUDDENLY WAS GONE. VERSA WAS BROUGHT IN FOR NO POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL KEPT DISENGAGING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTORL MODULE, THE BRAKE MODULE AND THE POWER TRAIN. ACTS AS IF THE COMPUTER CONTROL IS GETTING SIGNALS THAT BASICALLY DISCONNECTS THE ACCELERATION SIGNALS, OR IS CAUSING THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO DISCONNECT, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN SHIFT THROUGH TH GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM. JUST WON'T GET ANY ACCELERATION AT ALL.

DRIVING CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOST THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. HAD TO PULL ALONGSIDE ROAD. HAD CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

I WENT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE ON DAY IN DECEMBER 2017. I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MY CAR WOULD BARELY CREEP, I BARELY MADE IT THROUGH A TURN LIGHT AND CLOSE TO GETTING HIT. I COULD BARELY GET UP TO 15MPH. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD A PULLEY BROKE ON THE TRANSMISSION! IT SUPPOSEDLY CAUSED SHRAPNEL TO SHOOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TOLD COULD OF GOTTEN INTO THE MOTOR! SO I WAS TOLD $4000 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP PUT ME THROUGH THE RINGER! THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED AND IT WASN'T!! IT WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT! THEN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. THEN I ENDED UP GETTING AHOLD OF THEM THE NEXT DAY AND THEY TOLD ME NO DOUBT IT IS FIXED AND THAT THEY ENDED UP NOT PUTTING IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER THEY READ UP ON IT. I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT WASNT FIXED! THEN THEY PUT IN A NEW ONE FINALLY AT NO CHARGE AND IT WAS FINE. TOOK 4 TIMES!! TWO WEEKS LATER AND IT STARTS BURNING A GAS/ROTTEN EGG SULFUR SMELL. THEN I FINALLY NOTICE OIL LEAKING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET!!! I AM ANGRY TO SAY THE LEAST!!1 I SPENT ALL MY SAVINGS AND NOW HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET A NEW CAR AND I DOUBT I CAN PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!

HAD TO REPLACE REAR HUB SPINDLE , WAS DEFECTIVE THOUGHT IT WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN A FEW TIMES THEY REPLACE BRAKES. ONE DAY IT WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS DEFECTIVE HUB SPINDLE ASSEMBLY. COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT!

* CAR HESITATES WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED AT A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN JOLTS FORWARD *IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO START MOVING WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED * WHEN I TRY TO SPEED UP TO PASS ON THE FREEWAY IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET UP TO SPEED

BOUGHT THIS VERSA BRAND NEW IN 2014. HAD CVT RECALL WORK DONE IN 2016. SHORTLY AFTER WORK WAS COMPLETED, VEHICLE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE EXTREME SHUDDERING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AND DURING TAKE OFF. VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM GEAR TO GEAR HARD AND WITH A JERK. IT WILL BARELY ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP. TOOK TO MECHANIC TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED, HOPING THIS WOULD HELP AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT A FLUSH WOULD NOT HELP. TAKING TO A NISSAN MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. VEHICLE HAS 106,000 MILES, BUT IS USED ONLY FOR LONG STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY COMMUTES.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL, WITH ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS. IT SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES THIS EARLY. IT FEELS LIKE THIS CAR IS A THROWAWAY VEHICLE.

INTERMITTANT SHUDDER, VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. VEHICLE HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT; THIS STARTED PROBABLY AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. BOUGHT IT NEW FALL 2013. HAVE MENTIONED IT TO KRENZEN MOTORS IN DULUTH, MN. THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT BUT HAVE NOT FELT THE SHUDDER. HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WHEN I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY IS 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I'VE REALLY LIKED THE CAR AND HAVE HAD ONLY A FEW OTHER MINOR PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSURE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY OUT OF TOWN. MY SON HAD A SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 NISSAN INCLUDING LACK OF ACCELERATION. THEY TRADED THE CAR RIGHT AWAY.

TAKATA RECALL POSSIBLE - AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES OFF AND ON OFTEN MORE NOTICEABLE OVER THE LAST 1-2 MONTHS

THE RIGHT REAR STOP LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND KEEPS BURNING OUT. ALMOST GOT HIT BY CAR BECAUSE HE DID NOT SEE STOP LIGHT ON. LAST TIME THE BULB WAS REPLACED WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. NEED TO REPLACE SAME BULB AGAIN.

I TOOK MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO SEE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM. I HAVE'NT HAD THE VEHICLE THAT LONG SO WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO SEE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM,
