2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

ON 8 MARCH 2017, MY BATTERY DIED AND I HAD IT REPLACED AT TJ AUTOMATICS & SERVICES. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE GOING ON VACATION. ON 21 MARCH 2017, AS I'M DRIVING HOME ON THE FAR (FAST) LEFT LANE, ON I-85N, ATLANTA, GA.AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30PM, THE CAR SHUTS-DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED SHOP AND THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT SHOWED ECM NO COMMUNICATION. THEY REPLACED A MAXI FUSE 20A AND REPROGRAMED KEY. ON 23 MARCH 2017, I PICK UP THE CAR FROM THE SHOP, DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES AND CAR SHUTS-DOWN AGAIN. AS OF 9 APRIL 2017, THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP. THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE.

BOTH FRONT SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED AND HANG DOWN SO THE FIELD OF VIEW LOOKING OUT THROUGH WINDSHIELD IS OBSTRUCTED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WANT US TO PAY $500.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SAYS IT WAS NOT RECALLED AND VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WILL NEED TO GET VELCRO AND DIY TO CORRECT PROBLEM UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE TO FORCE THEM TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN VERSA SV WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION IN IT. AT ABOUT 110000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE DO A DRAIN AND FILL ON THE TRANSMISSION, THAT WAS DONE CAR MADE IT 5 MILES AND TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED TO MY WIFE THIS HAS A 50/50 CHANCE OF WORKING. ON THEIR STATEMENT THEY POSTED THAT IT NEEDED A 4000 TRANSMISSION BEFORE SHE LEFT THE LOT WITH IT. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF READING ON THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR ISSUES ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL 2010 THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES, NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND THIS THEY HAVE OFFERED US 750.00 ON A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED OFF THE CAR. LOCATED A NISSAN DEALER AND DROVE THE CAR THERE. AT FIRST THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ONCE AGAIN NORMAL, BUT AGAIN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL PASSED 40MPH. DEALER IS STATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE! I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW ON 2/12/2013. NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE?? THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE 5000.00 TO FIX IT, BUT LOWERED THE PRICE TO 1800.00. IT'S 6000 MILES PASSED THE WARRANTY AND NOW WHAT? I NEED NISSAN USA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT.
