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.

MY HATCHBACK WILL NOT OPEN. ONE DAY IT WORKED AND NOW WONT. DO NOT HAVE KEY FOB OPTION.

TOO BOUNCY WHEN DRIVING AND SQUEEKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING SLOW ON CURVES UN EVEN THAT OCCURS BEFORE I GOT THE NISSAN VERSA 2012

VCT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WITH NO WARNING, THIS IS A DEADLY FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION, HUNDREDS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ATTEST TO THE NUMBER OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A MAJOR 4 LANE ROAD WE WERE ALMOST HIT BROADSIDE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE OTHER DRIVER SWERVED TO MISS US AND I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS A POTENTIAL DEADLY CONDITION. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING ON TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR HESITATED AND SURGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED IN THE TRAFFIC LANE WITH 65/70 MPH TRAFFIC COMING AT US. THE FIRST CAR SWERVED TO THE DITCH SIDE AND MISSED US THE REST OF THE TRAFFIC SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND STOPPED AND WENT AROUND. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN VEHICLES ESPECIALLY WITH THE VCT TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS EVEN DEADLY PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED NISSAN FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THEY HAVE RECALLED SEVERAL MAKES OF NISSAN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THIS PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY AS BAD AS THE PINTO FIRES, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN A CVT NISSAN THAT WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY WIFE AND I WERE JUST YARDS FROM DEATH BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE REMEDY THE SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING APPRX 70MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING FLUTTERING. I HAD TO TRY TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT!! I COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CODE THEY READ WAS PO846. MY CAR ONLY HAS 105K MILES!!! I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FROM MANY PEOPLE. I ALSO READ THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT ONLY UNTIL 2010!!! WHY???? THESE CARS ARE HAZARDOUS TO BE ON THE ROAD AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAWSUIT FILED!! THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH WAS DONE ON 8/25/17
