2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES SINCE MANUFACTURED. NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS MADE PATCH WORK OF THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE RECALL DEADLINE WAS MAY 9,2020 THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED BUT UNWILLING TO REPAIR IT UNDER THE RECALL AT MY COST. IN GOOD FAITH OF THE COMPANY, THEY KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND SHOULD COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE COST AND I WAS WILLINGLY TO PAY A PORTION HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THEIR SHOP BEFORE THE DEADLINE DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT LOCKDOWN. THE CODE THAT THE ALWAYS COMES UP ON WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IS P0486. THE HAVE REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE REPROGRAM IT AND DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL AFTER THEIR RECALL WAS EXPIRED. I HAVE BARELY PUT 4300 MILES ON IT SINCE THE PATCH JOB THEY DID. THEY SAID THAT THIS PATCH WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE AND THE SAME ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON BUT WENT OFF PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT IN JUNE BUT ON THREE DAYS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN?T GET ME IN UNTIL JUNE 10. *TR

P0846 FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR - REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL VALVE BODY/ REPLACE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH SHOWED P0846 CODE IN MID 2018. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED AFTER A WHILE. THE LIGHT REAPPEARED NOW IN 2020 SHOWING THE SAME FAULTY CODE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN NISSANS 2012 VERSA AND THAT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAS ALSO EXPIRED AS THE VEHICLE IS ABOVE 84000 MILES. ( I GOT THIS LIGHT AT 79K MILES WITH THE SAME CODE AND IT HAD DISAPPEARED.) I HAD PHOTOGRAPHED IT WITH DATES AND TIME SHOWING . NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY AND THAT I WILL NEED TO COVER THE COMPLETE COST. VEHICLE WORKS PRETTY OKAY I DON'T FEEL ANY ISSUES IN IT. *TR

MY 2012 VERSA, WON'T SHIFT GEARS, STALLS AND EVEN WITH THE GAS ALL THE WAY DOWN, IT WON'T ACCELERATE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN ROSSEN IN MILWAUKEE, WI. FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, RESULT: TRANSMISSION FAILURE, COST TO REPLACE IT $4,200.00. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT WHY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED? NISSAN SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THAT ISSUE AND REPAIR THE AFFECTED CARS. NOTE : MY TRANSMISSION WENT OFF AT 53000 MILES. *TR

I WE T TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL FIXED BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT SOMEONE HAD ALTERED THE HARNESS FOR THE AIRBAG, IT WAS THE FIRST ID HEARD OF IT. THEY SAID ID HAVE TO BUY A BRAND NEW HARNESS FOR THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS , SO I DIDN'T GET THE RECALL FIXED. WENT TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T LIABLE FOR IT EITHER. JUST WANT TO GET THOSE AIRBAGS OUT OF MY CAR.

THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUITS WORKING SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN START BACK WORKING JUST FINE. IT'S LIKE A DEAD PADDLE BUT I HAVE REPLACEMENT EVERYTHING BUT THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ABS CODES. IT WILL ONLY ALLOW RPMS UP TO 1 UNTIL IT COMES BACK THEN IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN IT EVEN KICK OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND STARTED BLINKING

MY CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT JUST 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP, EBERSOLE OF LEBANON. THE VEHICLE HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION AND TENDS TO SLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR A LOT. THE VEHICLE HAS THESE PROBLEMS WHEN SITTING, DRIVING AND ACCELERATING AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY TWO KIDS ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. IN THE PAST MY CAR WOULD JERK AND I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE.I LOOKED THIS PROBLEM UP ON LINE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN THAN THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE RECALL ON THE 2012 VERSA IS CLOSED. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.
