2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

Continuous Variable Transmission Assembly Failure; Engine Stalled on the Highway; around 4/25/2022 No warning lights came up. Took it to the Nissan Dealer; They charged $495 for reprogramming Computer and Test Drive. The problem came up PF17F0 - Judder. CVT Assembly has to be replaced. The car has run only 33,000 miles and is good condition. The dealer says to REPLACE the Transmission with a new ONE. They stopped installing REFURBISHED Continuous Variable Transmission Assemblyand will only sell the new ones for others to repair cars. It costs $6,500/== More than the worth of the cars. THEY WILL NOT SELL PART - creating Monopoly.

In February 2022, our 2014 Nissan Versa (which my husband purchased new in 2014) started to sputter and nearly stall upon acceleration. Today (3/14/2022) I visited Younger Nissan- a Nissan dealer in Frederick, MD where he purchased the car- for diagnosis and repair. They found that the car at 77,666 miles needs a completely new transmission, costing over $4000 in repairs. This is a critical safety issue. The car could have stalled at any speed, and there is no error or alarm shown on the car's dashboard indicating an issue. This is a product defect and with no warning or alarms there was no opportunity to fix or check the issue while under still under warranty. I have been driving this unsafe vehicle for several weeks, unaware that there was a critical safety issue for myself and other drivers- this is unacceptable! This is a known issue for Nissan. If you Google "2014 Nissan Versa transmission" you will find complaint after complaint- including a class action law suit- about this issue. It seems that Nissan knows and is trying to ignore this issue. I would appreciate if you looked into this issue with Nissan and their CVT transmission issues with their 2014 Nissan Versa models. I also plan to contact Nissan North America, the US Department of Transportation, the Maryland State Attorney General and possibly Small Claims Court about this issue. Please look into this so that myself and other drivers are not risking our lives driving these vehicles. I am happy to provide you with copies of my payments etc. once the car is fixed. I had to finance the majority of the repair cost as I am sure a large majority of other drivers have had to do as well. Thank you for any assistance and feedback.

I was told by Nissan of Tustin, CA, that I need trans repair. I was also told that several other issues exist. For minor items that cost a healthy price. After the repairs I’m called and told I have an additional charge for rear tail lights and brake lights which occurs when repairs on the trans are done. This sounds like something that nissan knows so why not cover that in the repair? Doesn’t sound separate sounds like compound issue from trans. Is there a recall order for this issue with the Sentra, which is the same cvt transmission?

I purchased my car 2 years ago from a used car dealership. It began to give me problems a few months after that. I then took my car to Nissan to be reprogrammed for free back when there was an open recall on my car when I found out it had too many miles for the warranty that would allow the transmission to be replaced. I've been driving it since and doing normal maintenance on it regularly. It recently began giving me trouble. I had to pull off the interstate because it would not accelerate and could have easily gotten into a car accident. I took it back to the dealership where they will be performing a diagnostic study on the car.

Regarding my 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with "continuous variable (cone shaped) transmission": I first noticed the transmission issue beginning June of 2021. took it back to the dealership where I got my car from they did not help me at all and took it to mechanic shop to look at it looked at and I'm changing my transmission fluid twice and no codes popped up on the scanner and now I'm sitting here with no vehicle engine runs is just a CVT transmission is the issue please help

The problem that the vehicle has is in the transmission. It does not have any light on the panel to notify me of any problem. My vehicle has 57000 miles and the transmission changes irregularly and sometimes it goes down without having slowed down, forcing me to stop completely on the road it is truly worrying. I have done internet searches on 2014 Versa transmissions and many people have had the same problem.

VEHICLES NEEDS JUMP START EVERY TIME AND THE VEHICLE STOP. NEED TRANSSMISSION REPAID

The CVT failed and the engine began making a droning sound. The vehicle was undrivable once the failed transmission was detected.

Regarding my 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with "continuous variable (cone shaped) transmission": I first noticed the transmission issue beginning October of 2020. When accelerating quickly, it feels like the transmission FREEZES, so I back off the accelerator and it usually kicks back into gear. When my husband first experienced it, he told me to shift to neutral and back to drive which seems to work; however being on a public thoroughfare and manually shifting gears to keep moving forward seems like a MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I have read several posts regarding this same issue. MY QUESTION IS: Why hasn't this American/Japanese automobile conglomerate addressed this SAFETY ISSUE WITH A TRANSMISSION RECALL?

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa Note. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light and the brake warning light illuminated. The contact also stated she noticed water underneath the front passenger’s seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the cowl drain was clogged and was causing water retention. The dealer informed the contact that the failure had led to an electrical issue. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
