2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

SOMETHING MAKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL INSIDE WHEN MAKING TURNS ... AND PASS AIRBAG SOMETIMES OFF SOMETIMES ON WHEN DRIVING... AND THE LAST ONE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT SMOOTH AS OTHER CARS AND ALSO YOU CAN HEAR A CRACK ON IT WHEN PRESSING ON IT.

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION, MAKING A LEFT TURN, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE AND BACKED IT UP INTO A PARKING LOT

WHEN I WAS BUYING THIS CAR FROM MCCULSKEY USED I QUESTIONED THE TRANSMISSION. ASKED THAT THEY PUT THIS IN WRITING. THEY REFUSED AND STATED THAT IT WAS FINE. THE TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME WAS A DEAD SPOT WHERE TRANS DID NOT SHIFT. AS TIME HAS PASSED, THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE UNTIL I COULD NOT TAKE IT. THE TRANSMISSION AT 25 MPH AND 45 MPH WENT IN TO SEIZURES. ALMOST LIKE A NEW DRIVER OF A STANDARD SHIFT. THEN THE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE. BECAUSE THEY WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE. HOW EVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE POWER PROBLEM. NO RECALLS AVAILABLE. WHILE RESEARCHING MY CAR I FOUND THAT 2007-2010 TRANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SPOKE TO NISSAN COMPANY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. RECENTLY THE PS LIGHT IS COMING ON. THE POWER STEARING IS OUT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THE POWER STEARING WORKS UNTIL THE LIGHT RETURNS. THE CAR IS NOW ALMOST NOT ABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANS. I ONLY HAVE 84,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS ONLY. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP.

SHIFTER IS VERY TIGHT. WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR UNLESS USING TWO HANDS TO PULL THE SHIFTER DOWN.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 18 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 25K I WAS DOING A FLUID CHECK ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STUTTER WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN I NOTICED THE MY COOLANT RESERVOIR TANK WAS BONE DRY. I FOUND SOME COOLANT IN MY GARAGE AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED IT TO THE RESERVOIR TO GET IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION. THE SERVICE TECH LOOKED AT THE CAR AND KEPT SAYING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT I ADDED SOME TO GET IT THERE. THEY FINALLY TOOK MY CAR BACK AND HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS. WHEN I CAME DOWN TO PICK IT UP THAT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY PRESSURE TESTED THE COOLING SYSTEM AND FOUND NO LEEKS AND TOLD ME I WAS IMAGING THING AS FAR AS THE STUTTER WITH MY TRANNY. AT APPROXIMATELY 32K AGAIN I WAS LOW (1/4 FULL) ON COOLANT AND THE STUTTER STILLED HAPPENED INTERMITTINGLY. AGAIN I TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AT APPROX. 38K THE STUTTERING HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THERE WOULD BE TIMES THAT ID PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TRANNY ONLY THIS TIME. AND THEY TOLD ME WITH OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A COUPE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE TRANNY WOULD NOT RESPOND WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR.

JUNE 4, 2016, WHILE DRIVING ALONG 118 E FREEWAY I AM SEEING THAT MY RPM IS GOING UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR IS JERKING SPEED. I MERGED TO 405 S IN ABOUT 5 MINS. I WAS GETTING OFF 405 S FREEWAY FROM RAMP. THEN TRAVELLING NORTH ALONG HASKELL AVE, MY 2012 NISSAN VERSA JUST STOPPED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN TRANSMISSION. ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME JUST STOPPED. I SLOWLY EASED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THINKING THAT I'M DONE. AFTER SITTING FOR 2 MINUTES I TRIED TURNING IT ON AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE TO PICK UP MY SON WAITING AT LAX FLYWAWAY ALONG GLORIA STREET. MYSTERIOUSLY THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. I PICKED UP MY SON AND DROVE SLOWLY TO SIMI VALLEY CA STILL WITH MY RPM GOING UP AND DOWN AT TIMES. WE ARRIVED AT HOME IN SIMI VALLEY, CA OK. WE STOPPED USING THE CAR FOR A WEEK UNTIL I HAVE IT CHECKED BY NISSAN DEALER ON JUNE 14, 2016. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG UPON TESTING. I HAD THEM SERVICE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER 06/15/2016. ON 6/20/2016, WHILE DRIVING TO CHURCH, WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION STALLED. SAME AS BEFORE, RPM AT 0 AND WE HAVE STOP THE CAR AND SLOWLY PUSHED THE PEDAL AGAIN AND IT ENGAGED UNTIL WE PARKED AT THE PARKING LOT. COMING HOME FROM CHURCH, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM. MY WIFE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM THE DAY BEFORE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN KNOWS THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BECAUSE OF SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM CAR OWNERS.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING SNAPPED IMPACTING THE TIRE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SWERVE OVER A MEDIAN SUSTAINING MAJOR DAMAGES TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND BODY OF THE VEHICLE. RECALL # 15V573000

MY CAR HAS BEEN ACTING LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT WHEN I ACCELERATE ON A HILL. IT JERKS AND THE RPMS SPIKE UP AND DOWN BUT NO INCREASE IN SPEED. MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT THIS IS AN ACCELERATOR CABLE ISSUE AND THAT PART IS OVER $700. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY 2012 VERSAS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, SOME HAVE EVEN STALLED WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I TRIED TO PULL OUT AT A RED LIGHT AND EVEN THOUGH I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR DID NOT MOVE, THE RPMS DID NOT CHANGE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. A DAY LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN VERSA WITH A SHIFT KNOP PROBLEM I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS IT HAS A RECALL ON THIS. I CALLED THE CORP OFFICE TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL AND SHE SAYS THAT MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS FROM THE SAME PART MAKER IN THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO WHY CANT THEY FIX MY CAR
