I BOUGHT RECENTLY 2012 NISSAN VERSA CAR WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION. NOT EVEN AFTER 6 MONTHS OF USING THE CAR, IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE IT FOR $4300, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME AS MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR. AFTER READING MORE ONLINE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS REALLY COMMON ISSUE AND THIS TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT VERY OFTEN. ON TOP OF THAT THEY CAN'T BE REBUILD. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY HAD RECALLS ON DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT ARE STILL AVOIDING ON THIS ONE. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME SOFTWARE ISSUE, THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH PRESSURE WHEN CHANGING GEARS BETWEEN D AND L. WE WERE ABOUT TO GET THE ADVISED UPDATED LAST SATURDAY, UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE IT. THE OFFICIAL LETTER STATES THAT IT COULD LOWER THE DURABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT ON THE PHONE. MY CASE WAS EVALUATED BY SUMMER, FROM HQ AND GOT NOTIFIED BY HER THAT NISSAN, WON'T HELP IN ANY WAY.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET.

TAKATA RECALLS MY CAR WAS STATIONARY THIS MORNING AT RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. AFTER THE LIGHT CHANGE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND ON THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WENT BACKWARD. PRAISE GOD THE CAR BEHIND ME MOVED OVER TO THE NEXT LANE, I LOOK AT MY SHIFT AND IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AND SOMETIMES ALTHOUGH I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK THE VEHICLE TIRED TO MOVE.

I PURCHASED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA FROM HENDERSON NISSAN ON 7/6/14. HERE IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THROUGH: 7/24/14- ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP.

(HAD 83,354 MILES) 7/26/16- LOCKING SYSTEM NOW OUT. (HAD 83,400 MILES) THE CAR HAD 39K MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. IT NOW HAS 86K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN! AS SOON AS MY WARRANTY ENDS, I'M SCREWED! EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT, I'VE LOST POWER ON THE CAR. IT JUST DIES NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU ARE GOING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN MOTION. THE SECOND TIME I WAS STATIONARY THANKFULLY! I REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN'S AFFAIRS DEPT. AND GOT NO WHERE!

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VERSA IN 2012 I FELT HESITATION AND SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITHIN 2 YEARS OF THE PURCHASE I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW AT 85,000 MILES I AGAIN TOOK THE VERSA TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, BUT NOW WORSE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. WHILE IN MOTION THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES. SURGES, SLIPS, AND BUCKS.
