2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

ON NOVEMBER 12, 2020 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LEAVING FROM MY JOB SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ON NOVEMBER 14,2020 TO GET THE CAR SERVICE. I WENT TO THE NISSAN CAR DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH THE SALESMAN IN REFERENCE TO MY VEHICLE AND THE PERSON STATED I HAVE WATER IMMERSED IN MY TAIL LIGHT IS WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON AND IF I DON'T GET THE PROBLEM FIX THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I ASKED IF I GET THE PROBLEM FIX WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN THE ANSWER WAS YES DO TO THE MODEL AND MAKE ON MY VEHICLE I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THERE IS A RECALL REGARDING MY AIRBAGS #B2TP-3VL AND NISSAN REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. MY RECALL NOTICE SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. ITALKED TO THE DEALER AND TO THE NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE AND NOBODY WILL HELP. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE TIME OFF OF WORK NOR SPEND MY DAY OFF AT THE CAR DEALERSHIP AS I WATCH MY GRANDCHILDREN OVER THE WEEKENDS

THE FRONT AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. BECAUSE OF THE STEERING I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT, MY WHEEL DIDN'T WANT TO TURN. THE BRAKES ALWAYS MAKE NOISE.

DRIVERS AIRBAG MODULE BAD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MANY OF THEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM AND THIS VEHICLE IS EFFECTED. THIS NEEDS TO ONE CORRECTED

THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IT IS STUCK. NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE THIS, IT JUST HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT OUT. THEY TOOK IT APART FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THE ENTIRE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED AND IT IS $865 ESTIMATED REPAIR.

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE AND I'VE HAD SERIOUS ISSUES SINCE 60K MILES AND I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK INTO IT. THE SECOND THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED IS WHEN THEY LET ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO GET MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED, BUT THEN IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY TRANSMISSION, AND THEN THEY KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH AND DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT BEFORE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY WHERE IT STALLS AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 20MPH. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES TO STOP AND THEN BE ABLE TO GO AGAIN. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ON TOP OF THE MAINTENANCE AND I'M HOPING WITH THE RECALL THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT NO COST. I DON'T SEE MYSELF EVER BUYING A NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CVT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REEDMAN TOLL NISSAN OF DREXEL HILL, 5018 TOWNSHIP LINE RD, DREXEL HILL, PA 19026 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,664.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING FROM OHIO TO VIRGINIA WHEN HER CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN ACCELERATED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A FATALITY. HAD THE CAR TOWED SEVERAL TIMES TO FINALLY END UP AT A NISSAN DEALER IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. THE SERVICE TECHNICAL SAID THAT HER TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND WAS A PAST RECALL. BECAUSE THE RECALL TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION HAS EXPIRED, NISSAN REFUSED TO FIX IT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 68,500 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION IS DEAD. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL CASE AND I WOULD LIKE FOR NISSAN TO EXTEND THIS RECALL AND FIX THE CAR AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO LOSE HER LIFE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER ONLY EIGHT YEARS WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE. I REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC NOTICED I WAS HAVING ISSUES OR I WOULD CERTAINLY BE DEAD. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE AND PURCHASE A NEW ONE, IT SEEMS NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES THAT ARE WIDELY KNOWN. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT NISSAN IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SELLING LEMONS. MY VERY FIRST CAR WAS A 1981 MONTE CARLO AND THE TRANSMISSION ON THAT CAR NEVER HAD TO BE REPLACED, I USED THAT CAR UNTIL 2016 AND THE ONLY REASON I GOT RID OF IT WAS THAT THE FRAME BUCKLED IF THAT CAR CAN GO 35 YEARS WITH NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR A 2012 TRANSMISSION TO FAIL IN 8 YEARS.

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK. IT TAKES ABOUT 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR MOVES WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. *TR
