TIRES OUT OF ROUND. TIRES CAUSE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE. GOODYEAR REPLACED BOTH TIRE UNDER WARRANT. TIRES WERE ONLY A MONTH OLD. PROBLEM WAS NOTICED IMMEDIATELY, THOUGHT IT WAS A BALANCE ISSUE. AFTER HAVING TIRES REBALANCED BY TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS THERE WAS STILL AN ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE GOODYEAR 800# THEY HELPED WITH REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY.

I OWNED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA AND WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON JULY 3 2015, RELATING TO THE RECALL ISSUED AUGUST 2015. THE ISSUE INVOLVED MY INABILITY TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM A COLLISION WHEN MY SHOELACE GOT CAUGHT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE INABILITY TO APPLY THE BRAKES CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO ENTER ON COMING TRAFFIC, AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RESULT WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF MY VEHICLE.

PRE OWNED VEHICLE HAS A FAILED TRANSMISSION SHIFT ASSEMBLY (POWER TRAIN) WHICH WAS NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY DURING THE RECALL REPAIR DONE PRIOR TO CURRENT OWNER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE.NISSAN NOW STATES THAT THE "CAMPAIGN IS CLOSED OUT AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE ON THIS" HOWEVER., THEY DID OFFER$250 FOR THE CONSUMERS" INCONVENIENCE." WHICH WAS STRANGE SINCE..WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IF IT IS NOT AN ISSUE?AND DID SAY THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN 5 YRS(60000) AND REFERRED ME TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS. ALSO STRANGE. AFTER READING YOUR WEBSITE, I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU AS THEY ARE NOW TECHNICALLY NON-COMPLIANT ON THIS GOVERNMENT RECALL AS THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE APPROPRIATE REPAIR. NISSAN IS TRYING TO "WRITE THIS OFF" AS A CLOSED CAMPAIGN AS THE SHIFT KNOB WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO CURRENT OWNER TAKING POSSESSION(2012); EVEN THOUGH A NEW INDEPENDENT DEALER , NOT INVOLVED IN ORIGINAL RECALL WORK;HAS RECENTLY STATED THAT CONSUMER SHOULD SEEK ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS RECALL FROM NISSAN AND THAT THE CAR ABSOLUTELY NEEDS THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT THE KNOB AND ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN( RECALL 12V032000)NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS ASSEMBLY (ESTIMATE ATTACHED)WHICH WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. AUTOMATIC SHIFTER IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GO INTO PARK. AND IS BEING PARKED IN NEUTRAL WHICH POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS VERY "SHADY" ABOUT TELLING ME "WHO I WAS SPEAKING WITH, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED, OPERATOR ID,NAME OF REP, OR ANY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON ON THE PHONE.THE ONLY INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN WAS P3C AS THEIR "AREA" IN FRANKLIN TN. PLEASE ADVISE OR DIRECT TO CONTACT IN THE NISSAN RECALL AREA ANY ASSISTANCE/DIRECTION WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

UPON PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONTO BUSY HIGHWAY RPM NEEDLE GOES CRAZY WHEN SPEED REACHES 30 KPH AND WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR POWER IS LOSS. SCARED TO DRIVE CAR AND I AM A HOME HEALTH NURSE SO HAVE NO CHOICE. A SEMI SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME FROM BEHIND AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ROAD CAUSE I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL.

I BOUGHT A 2012 NISSAN VERSA IN 2012 BRAND NEW. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF NISSANS RELIABILITY AND THE CAR GOT GREAT GAS MILEAGE. I HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE, BUT NOT AT THE DEALERSHIP. IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2015 WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON IT IT STARTED RANDOMLY JERKING WHEN DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAD WENT OUT AND IT WOULD COST ME $3,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THE VERSA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID THE FLUID SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT 60,000 MILES AND PROBABLY GOT TO HOT AND BROKE DOWN. THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. HERE ARE MY ISSUES: I WAS NEVER TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDS CHANGED EVERY 60,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS RUINED THAT IT SHOULD BE. I HAD THE CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP AT 63,000 FOR A RECALL AND NO ONE MENTIONED IT. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR 25 YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN PRIOR VEHICLES THE CAR NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I TOOK IT IN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS STARTED HAPPENING. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A KNOWN ISSUES AND IN 2010 THEY WERE COVERED BY A 6 YEAR 120,000 MILES WARRANTY MEANING SOMEONE WHO HAS A CAR 2 YEARS OLDER THAN MINE STILL HAS A WARRANTY. I DROVE THIS CARE EVERY MILE MYSELF AND I DROVE IT LIKE A 90 YEAR OLD MAN. IN THE END I HAD TO SPEND $4,004 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR. I MADE 2 CASES TO NISSAN AND A REGIONAL MANAGER CALLED ME AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN CAN DO. TO ME THERE IS NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION WHY THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, WHY THERE IS NO SYSTEM THAT WOULD LET ME KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS RUINED, AND WHY I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THE FLUID SHOULD BE CHANGED.

I BOUGHT A NEW NISSAN VERSA 2012 3 YEARS BACK. IT HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN I SHIFT FROM 'R" TO "D:. THE SES LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY WITH CODE P0705. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED SOFTWARE AND ADJUSTED RANGE SWITCH. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS A SHORT-CIRCUIT NEAR TAIL LIGHT. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS USED FOR NORMAL COMMUTE AND WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT. THE CAR SOMETIME JERKS/SKIDS EVEN IN NORMAL DRIVE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IT LOSES POWER DUE TO SHORT-CIRCUIT. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN, NORTH AMERICA AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT.
