2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE Complaints

INTERMITTANT SHUDDER, VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. VEHICLE HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT; THIS STARTED PROBABLY AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. BOUGHT IT NEW FALL 2013. HAVE MENTIONED IT TO KRENZEN MOTORS IN DULUTH, MN. THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT BUT HAVE NOT FELT THE SHUDDER. HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WHEN I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY IS 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I'VE REALLY LIKED THE CAR AND HAVE HAD ONLY A FEW OTHER MINOR PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSURE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY OUT OF TOWN. MY SON HAD A SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 NISSAN INCLUDING LACK OF ACCELERATION. THEY TRADED THE CAR RIGHT AWAY.

MAY 11,2017 I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. WHILE SITTING BEHIND A VAN AT A LIGHT. WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, A CAR HIT ME HARD FROM BEHIND. I HIT THE FAN IN FRONT OF ME BUCKLING HOOD & THE FRONT GRILL WERE TORN TO PIECES. MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AT ALL.I WAS RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL WITH TAILBONE, BACK PROBLEMS. RIGHT TODAY I'M STILL HAVING BACK PROBLEMS. GOING BACK & FORWARD TO DOCTORS RIGHT TODAY. YES PLEASE, I WONDER WHY MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF.

WHEN YOUR HAND IS RESTING ON THE STICK SHIFT,AND YOU ACCELERATE.THE SHIFTER MOVES BACK AND FORTH.I HAVE OWNED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ALL MY LIFE THIS DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT.IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME.TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG ,IT IS A CVT TRANS.IT FEELS LOOSE TO ME

FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY WHILE RUNNING, SECOND TIME I WAS PARKED, BUT WHEN I TRY TO BACK UP IT SHOT DOWN THIRD TIME WAS RUNNING. NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME THEY PRACTICALLY SAID YOUR ON YOUR ON, AND I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THAT CAR, IT'S JUST A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE VICTIM

TO MY UNDERSTANDING, MY CAR HAS BEEN OVERHEATING AND THE FIRST TIME IT OVERHEATED IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD NO COOLANT. THEN, THE SAME NIGHT, I BOUGHT SOME COOLANT AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE NEAREST AUTO ZONE. COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THOUGH, THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF AGAIN. LUCKILY, EACH TIME WAS ON THE STREET SO I CAN FLASH MY EMERGENCY SIGNAL. HOWEVER, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS RECENT NEWS UPDATE AND ENSURE MY SAFETY.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY OF 2014. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE. THE WHOLE MUFFLER SYSTEM FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON BACK NEEDS REPLACED. THAT INCLUDES THE RESONATOR AND THE MUFFLER AND THE PIPES. WHY? IT LASTED ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT? THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR AND HAVE NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE PARTS ARE THEY USING. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND I KNOW WE GET ROAD SALT PROBLEMS BUT NOT IN 3 1/2 YEARS. HOW THIN IS THE METAL THEY USED? THERE IS NOT EVEN AN AFTERMARKET PART TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. WHAT A RIP OFF.

SEE FIRST ATTACHED PDF DIAGRAM FOR DESCRIPTION. THE SECOND ATTACHMENT SHOWS REPORT OF THE SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION BY A CARMAX MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE INTERMITTENT AND NOT REPRODUCIBLE AT WILL. I SOLD THIS CAR BACK TO CARMAX 42 DAYS AFTER ITS PURCHASE, SUSTAINING A $2260 LOSS. MOST OF THE LOSS WAS DUE TO A SECOND ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON 6/10/2016 THAT MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN BRAKE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (SEE THIRD AND FOURTH ATTACHMENTS).
