Summary

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?

Summary

My car has a CVT transmission and it jerks and stalls when trying to change gears and sometimes gets stuck in gear. I saw that their is a recall for this issue in nissan cars (versa,Sentra,Altima’s)from years 2012-2018 issued in 2016, but when I called the dealership they said it’s not for my specific car according to the VIN number. I’m not sure why this is and I’m confused and would like to know how to resolve this issue.

Summary

About a month ago the vehicle began shaking unexpectedly. The RPM started to go high when driving about 35 miles per hour. On the highway the RPM would go up to 5 or 6 and if it went down the car shook violently. At times I did not feel I would be able to keep control of the vehicle while on the highway. I stopped driving on the highway and I took the car to be seen by a mechanic. After allowing the mechanic to drive the vehicle I was informed the transmission was likely the problem and would need to be rebuilt. The mechanic suggested I take the vehicle to a transmission specialist. The transmission specialist said every CVT transmission from Nissan he has seen needs to be rebuilt and suggested I buy another car rather than pay $5,000.00 to have the transmission rebuilt. I called and spoke with Nissan. They said the warranty was no longer valid and they would charge $120.00 for a diagnostic plus the cost to fix the transmission. The vehicle is 7 years old and only has 87,000 miles on it. Prior to a month ago the vehicle had no issues. There has not been any visible indicator light to suggest the vehicle may need maintenance.

I have been taking my car to nissan since my purchase. I was having cooling issues, radiator issues, and car not starting. with all these issues and years of repairs..my CVT transmission finally went out. I had no clue as they were fixing and servicing this car. I call nissan affairs dept as i had to pay $5050.00 to replace it out of my pocket! Nissan states out of warranty 5 months ago!!. I inquired to why i was NEVER contacted about transmission issues and problems or the opportunity to be included in the civil action with this vehicle. They CLAIMED they had the old owners information which is a LIE as i have received prior documentation for warranty notifications in my name! excuse after excuse to not help me. that got me good with the 5050.00 for an ongoing issue for this vehicle. NISSAN does not help at all!

Summary

the problem in my car is ethier the transmission or transmission control module. The transmission started slipping and then suddenly on the hey of 395 north bound it simply just wouldn't do anything it had no reaction at all right in the middle of the freeway and there I was stuck people at 65-70 miles an hour whizzing by me not to mention simi trucks.tge reason I am writing is I looked up the problem at it is a very common problem with this year and make of the car. I went to nissan here in reno nv and they will not honor the recall sayes it is because of a branded title. The car had been wrecked only damaging the front bumper. Nothing to the motor or transmission was rebuilt but because it had previously been turned in as an insurance claim nissan of reno will NOT honor the recall. Any damage that was done was cosmetic not to the motor or transmission. I would like to know if nissan should honor the recalls on my vehicle. It has 98,000 miles on it and falls under the 10 year under 120,000 miles. The service person I talked to treated me like I was dumb and pretty much pushed me out the door and told me that they don't have to honor it. I am tempted to get ahold of previous owner to see if his insurance claim had anything to do with this transmission issue. It has one complaint after another on YouTube over this very issue. Please help me I don't know what to do. Thank you.

Summary

The floor mat of the driver side has two (2)plastics hooks to hold the mat in place. If the hooks are broken or missing the mat slice of the accelerator and brake paddle. If the mat is on top or bottom of the paddle, it interferes with the brake or accelerator. These are two (2) plastic hooks. I called the dealer and Nissan does not offer these parts, the plastics hooks. The only offer the WHOLE carpet with the hooks for $500 plus. This is absurd. This means that I need to pay $500 for TWO plastics hooks. Remember if this hooks are not holding the mat an incident can occur. In my opinion, this is a safety issue. Nissan SHOULD have this parts available or provide parts more durable, no plastic parts.

BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND SHORTY THEREAFTER, THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW ON 23 FEB 2020. I AM ON MY WAY TO CHURCH WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THE MOTOR IS GOING OUT THAT CONTROLS LOCKING MY CARS DOORS. WHEN THE THROTTLE GAVE OUT I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE. WHEN THE FAN GAVE OUT ON THE AC, I NOTICE THAT THE AC NO LONGER WORK AND I ATTEMPTED ADD FREON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FAN ON THE AC. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE MOTOR ON FOR THE LOCK/UNLOCK. IT'S A SHAME THAT CARS ARE ONLY MADE TO LAST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR AT THE LOWEST COST POSSIBLE AND THE SELL THEM FOR OUTRAGEOUS PRICE OVER THE FAIR MARKET PRICE. SOMETIME ITS JUST BETTER TO PURCHASE A USED CAR OPPOSED TO NEW VEHICLE THAT YOU THINK WILL LAST AND BUT ITS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.

MY CAR HAD SYMPTOMS OF JERKING AND DELAYS WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE HEAVILY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER GOING TO THE MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT MY NISSAN VERSA NOTE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT SEVERAL CARS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL WERE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. ESTIMATES FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION ARE HEAVY AND I AM HOPING NISSAN TAKES OWNERSHIP FOR THESE ISSUES KNOWING HOW MANY CARS ARE AFFECTED.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. I GOT THIS CAR NEW AND EVERY YEAR SINCE OWNING THIS CAR THERE HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BEYOND REPAIR ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR. THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. MECHANIC SHOPS SAID I NEED NISSAN TO REPAIR THIS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR! I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I AM IN A DEATH TRAP VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON. I AM HAVING TO PAY HIGH MAINTENANCE FEES AND CAR PAYMENTS. IN A CAR THAT CAN GET ME KILLED. NISSAN KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE 2014 CARS BUT HAS NOT REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT IT. THEY RECALLED SOME 2014 VERSAS BUT NOT ALL. I STRONGLY BELIEVED I WAS SOLD A HIGHLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE'S NO REASON WHY A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVERY YEAR ON A NEW CAR.

SPENT $400 TO HAVE REPLACED AND THINGS WERE GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO TURN LIGHTS OFF/ON AT NIGHT.

I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND STOPPED FOR THE RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I PRESSED THE GAS IT WOULD MOVE. I SLOWLY GOT IT TO MOVE, BUT ONCE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD BARELY MOVE AND THE CAR IN BACK OF ME ALMOST HIT ME. WHILE IN MOTION IT WOULD BECOME WHERE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS WOULD BE IN VAIN. THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I COULD HARDLY MAKE IT TO MY HOME. ONCE I TRIED TO BACK UP I COULD HEAR A SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORTS OR SOMETHING ELSE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA SV AND HAS 79,589 TOTAL MILES TODAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING.

AROUND 65,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE CTV / AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR SOMETIMES JERKS/SHAKES AS I ACCELERATE AND TAKES LONGER THAN IT USED TO TO SPEED UP. THIS HAS PUT ME IN IMMEDIATE DANGER SEVERAL TIMES - FOR EXAMPLE, SWITCHING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY, I CAN NO LONGER BE CERTAIN THAT I WILL SWITCH LANES IN TIME FOR THE OTHER CARS NOT TO HIT ME. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT MAY BE MY TRANSMISSION FLUID - I GOT THE FLUID CHANGED IN AN OFFICIAL NISSAN SHOP IN NORWELL, MA. THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED - AND WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN SHOP AGAIN, THEY SAID IF THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS NOT RESOLVED AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP.

VEHICLE MOVES ABRUPTLY LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN MOVING. HAPPENS MOST OBVIOUSLY WHEN AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW OR COAST FOR A MOMENT AND THEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP AGAIN. WORKS THE SAME WHEN SHIFTING (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AT LOW SPEEDS. TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, BUT COULD FIND NO CAUSE OR SOLUTION--IT IS NOT GROOVES IN THE ROAD OR TIRES OR SUCH THINGS. ONE MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN, WHO SAID THEY'VE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ABOVE 30-40 MPH AS THE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END IS SIGNIFICANT AS DESCRIBED. IT'S NOT THE STRUTS, NOT THE CONTROL ARMS, ETC. NO CODE COMES UP FOR ANY ELECTRONICS ISSUE. IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.

WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN SOUTH IN MORROW, GA FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, THAT IT WOULD COST $3861.00 PLUS TAX. I'M NOW FINDING THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE CARS ARE CRAP! AND NISSAN USA CORP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN OPENED A CASE FOR THE CAR, WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM JOSHUA W/NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE CAR (EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS UNDER 100K). WHY IS NISSAN ABLE TO PROFIT OFF OF CONSUMERS WHILE SELLING A KNOWINGLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA STOPPED NISSAN FROM SELLING THIS VEHICLE? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, EVER!!!!

I FOR ONE HAVE BEEN SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE TILL NOW, BEING IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED SINCE IT'S PURCHASE IN 2015, BY A REPUTABLE CERTIFIED AUTO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SHOP, I ALSO FEEL THAT BEING THE AUTO MAKER IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS DEFECT AND THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND COSTS RELATED TO THE POWER TRAIN FAILURE, THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT.

Summary

PREVIOUSLY, THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED WHEN THE MOTHERBOARD OF A TAIL LAMP MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE NISSAN SERVICE AGENT THAT THIS CAUSED A SIGNAL TO BE SENT TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT INDICATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE GOING IN REVERSE. THIS CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FALTER AND THE CAR STUTTERS AND/OR STALLS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE LOOKED UP A FEW ACCIDENTS, WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAILURE TO ACCELERATE, BUT NO ONE HAS LOOKED INTO THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY, BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING EXPERT WHO STATED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS TO IMPACT THE TRANSMISSION, SINCE THE BULK OF THE WIRING IS HOOKED UP TO IT INSTEAD OF THE BATTERY. NOW MY CAR IS ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCING THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHILE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR REPAIR TICKETS FOR THE TAIL LAMPS WHICH CAUSE THE PROBLEM. IN NEWER TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. HOWEVER, THE ORIGINAL MOTHERBOARDS WITH THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA BODY STYLE CAN START TO MALFUNCTION AT ANY TIME.

Summary

MY VEHICLE IS AT 95,000 MILES, AND THE RPM HAS BEGUN FLUCTUATING WHEN IT SHOULDNT BE. AT IDLE POWER, IT TENDS TO STAY AROUND 1,500-1,800 RPM WHEN IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 700-1,300 RPM. ON THE ROAD, AND ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RPM BOUNCES ERRATICALLY, AND THE AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION SHIFTS CONSIDERABLY HARD BETWEEN GEARS WHEN MY SPEED DRIFTS BETWEEN 25-45 MPH AND SOMETIMES NEAR HIGHWAY SPEED. HARDER THAN IT USED TO. I HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA BRAKING TO STOP MY CAR WHEN AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR PARKING. TURNING DOES FINE, THOUGH THE ENGINE DRIVES HARDER THAN IT SHOULD DUE TO THE HIGHER RPMS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING UP WHAT CAUSES THIS, AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING SAYS MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T BE FAILING BEFORE 100,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOADS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN NISSANS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. AND I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATIOM BY THE NHTSA IS WARRANTED. AS WELL AS A RECALL BY NISSAN TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT HAS APPARANTLY BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW YEARS.

Summary

AROUND 68000 MILES, I FIRST NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, REVVING HIGH AND I OFTEN HAD TO MANIPULATE THE GAS PEDAL TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT UP. KEEP IN MIND, THIS VERSA IS EQUIPPED WITH A CVT, THUS THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE VERY GRADUAL "GEAR" CHANGES. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THAT SOMETIMES, WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES JOLT AROUND BEFORE IT GOT UP TO SPEED. THIS JOLTING OCCURRED AT RED LIGHTS, FREEWAY ON-RAMPS, ETC. NISSAN'S WARRANTY EXPIRES 60,000 MILES, AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE 60,000 MILES, HOWEVER TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T DIE AFTER 68,000 MILES, LIKE MINE WAS GOING TO. I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR IN AROUND 68,000 MILES TO HAVE THE TECHNICIANS LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEN, I TOOK MY TRANSMISSION IN FOR ROUTINE TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE AT AROUND 71,000 MILES, AND THE TECHNICIANS NOTICED SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CATCH PAN. THIS IS WHEN THEY FINALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. THIS IS ABOUT A $5,000 REPAIR. LUCKILY, I HAD MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE FROM MY AUTO INSURANCE, THUS I WON'T NEED TO PAY THAT FULL COST, BUT IF I HADN'T HAD THAT, I WOULD HAVE A CAR THAT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON ROADWAYS.

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. I NOTICED AT THE END OF JANUARY 2019 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS 'SHIFTING' GEARS, ACCELERATING AND THE RPMS WOULD REV, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT TUGGED, AND JERKED. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN FEBRUARY 2019. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING UP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AND I QUOTE 'TOTALLY FINE AND SAFE TO DRIVE. THEN ON MARCH 28, 2019 THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING WORSE ACCELERATION ISSUES, THIS TIME ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OUT AND NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. NO ERROR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. IT WOULD KEEP JERKING, AND TUGGING. A LOUR WHIRLING NOISE WAS ALSO HEARD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN, AND WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $4200 TO REPAIR. I PAID $5600 CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018.

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 4TH 2019, AFTER EXISTING THE EXPRESS WAY MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLOW DESPITE BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, AND I BEGAN TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD ONLY ROLL. THE VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER AND WAS AT A SLOW ROLL. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AT IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS DEAD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I SENT THE CAR TO THEM ON A FLATBED ON TUESDAY. AFTER A DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND WHAT HAD CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT SENT A SIGNAL SAYING 'I WAS ON THE BREAK AND NOT THE GAS". ON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MECHANIC, I EXPRESSED MY CONFUSION BECAUSE THERE WERE NO INDICATION OF AN INOPERATIVE LIGHT BULB OR AN INDICATOR IN THE VEHICLE TO SUBSTANTIATE ANY FAILURE. I WAS TOLD "THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANY WARNING OR INDICATION" BY THE MECHANIC. I CONTACTED NISSAN, A REPRESENTATIVE FOLLOWED UP AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME AFTER TALKING TO THE REPAIR SERVICE. WHEN THEY DID CONTACT ME AGAIN REGARDING MY CONCERNED ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I RAISED THE QUESTION OF HOW CAN A VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND COME TO A STOP WITHOUT NO INDICATION AND I WAS TOLD "THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS". THE CAR MALFUNCTION PUT MY LIFE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NISSAN HAVE NEGLECTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY.

IF I DO LEAVE BEFORE IT WARMS UP I EXPECT IT TO STALL AT THE STOP SIGN, LIGHT, TURN, OR TRAFFIC. I USUALLY HAVE TO KICK IT INTO PARK TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL ITS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES IT WONT EVEN WANT TO WORK AGAIN UNTIL ITS WARMED UP SO SOMETIMES IM JUST STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

ON 7/24/18 WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA ON NORTH I-15 NEAR CHARLESTON BLVD IN CONSTRUCTION STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I HAD SLOWED TO A STOP BASED ON TRAFFIC. AS THE TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND CAR SPUTTERED, BUT MOVED AND THEN AFTET DRIVING A QUARTER OF A MILE AT A SPEED OF 25 MPH, THE CAR JUST STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE. ALL DSAHBOARDS LIGHTS AND ENGINE INDICATION CAME ON. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME SCREECHED TO STOP. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HAZARDS AND PULLED EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT CAR IN PARK. I TRIED TO RESTART CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER FIVE MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I ADVISED MY DAUGHTER AND TOLD HER I WOULD PUT CAR IN SHOP. ON 7/26/18, I TOOK CAR TO AUTO CARE FOR ASSESSMENT. MY VEHICLE HAD ONLY 31,290 MILES ON IT. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT OUT OF CONCERN, I HAD A 30,000 MILE SERVICE DONE ON CAR. ON 8/3/18, I WAS ADVISED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I WENT HOME AND MY DAUGHTER SAW THAT THE LIGHTS WERE OUT ALSO. I CHECKED AS SHE BRAKED AND NO LIGHTS. I DROVE ON HAZARDS TO AUTO REPAIR AND THEY CHECKED VEHICLE AND LIGHTS WORKED. THEY STATED MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE BUT RETURN IF LIGHTS GO OUT AGAIN. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN MARCH OF 2014, I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO NISSAN FOR LACK OF POWER, SPUTTERING AT STOPS AND INTERMITTENT STALLS. NISSAN REPLACED OXYGEN SENSOR A YEAR AGO WHEN CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AND ADVISED THAT IT'S A SMALL CAR SO WON'T HAVE A LOT OF POWER. ON 8/23/18, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM NISSAN REGARDING SUDDEN STOPS AND TO BRING CAR TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME WHEN I DRIVE. THE CAR STUTTERS AT STOP AND HESITATION IS CONSTANT. I'M NOT SURE NISSAN CAN REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. AT 122,500, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO "SHUDDERING", THE CAR AT TIMES WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE, AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN "T-BONED" AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, CAUSING THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE PHONED, EMAILED, AND WRITTEN TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA (CERTIFIED MAIL) WARNING THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. I SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST (615-725-7884). I MENTIONED TO HER THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING AND THAT THE CAR'S FAILING TRANSMISSION POSED A SAFETY HAZARD. HER REPLY WAS THE "THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." SHE REPEATED THAT NUMEROUS TIMES AND SEEMED NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT OF DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU.

Summary

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA CVT TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING, FAILING TO ACCELERATE, AND ACTING ERRATICALLY. THIS IS CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I AND MY SON WERE ALMOST "T-BONED" WHILE PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CVT, AT TIMES, FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY, PUTTING DRIVER AT RISK. THIS CAR HAS 122,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ORIGINAL CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 65,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT CVT TRANSMISSION IS NOW FAILING. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY DEALER, NISSAN AUTOFARE STRATHAM, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SINCE SENT CERTIFIED LETTER TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NOTIFYING THEM OF THIS. I SPOKE TO MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST/DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO REALLY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT, AND STATED NISSAN WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW TRANSMISSION FAILED AT JUST 55,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS PARTICULAR CVT TRANSMISSION AS I HAD 2 FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN JUST 122,000 MILES. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THESE FAILURES REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AND THE RESEARCH I DONE INDICATES THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS CVT PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THANK YOU.

Summary

IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND HAD I NOT HAD THE RADIO OFF SO I COULD HEAR IT AND HAVE A CLUTCH I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS. THE GAS PEDDLE GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR LIKE ITS BEING SUCKED IN AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP SO THE ENGINE JUST SCREAMS LOUD AS THE CAR THRUSTS FORWARD AS FAST AS IT CAN GO, SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, APPLY THE BREAKS AND KEEP TAPPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE ALL AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL THE PEDDLE COMES BACK UP, WHICH TAKES ABOUT 15 TO 30 SECONDS AND IF YOU ARE RIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ITS JUST TO CLOSE OF A CALL AND IN THE MEAN TIME YOUR ENGINE IS SCREAMING SO LOUD UNTIL IT COMES BACK UP AND THEN AFTER YOU CAN CALM DOWN FROM GOING INTO SHOCK, YOU CAN CONTINUE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TAKE OFF AT A GREEN LIGHT, ENTERING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO BASICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOME OR EXTRA GAS. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN AT A GREEN LIGHT WITH ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME ONLY ABOUT 20 FT AND HAD TO THINK FAST AND THROW IT IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD HAVE PLOWED ME INTO THAT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I'M SCARRED TO DRIVE IT ON TRIPS TO GO SEE MY KIDS 100 MILES AWAY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS MORE THEN. IT DIDN'T START TILL IT WAS WITHIN THE 1ST YR BUT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND THEN LIKE 5 MONTHS, NOW IT SEEMS TO DO IT A LOT MORE, SO I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL YOU. I NEED IT FIXED LIKE NOW OR GET THEM TO PUT ME IN A NEW VEHICLE, PLEASE HELP.

Summary

SYMPTOMS ' CAR DRIVEN TODAY ABOUT 100 MILES. ENGINE SHUTOFF FOR GAS UP. ON RESTART THE ENGINE CAME ON,BUT NO POWER WHEN IN GEAR. PRESS OF ACCELERATOR BUT CAR BARELY MOVED. SHUTDOWN AND TURN BACK ON AND GOT A LITTLE POWER. LOOKED AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THOSE DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. LIGHTS CHECKED AND ARE GOOD BULBS. THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO ANY MOVEMENT FROM ON THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING NEUTRAL AND PARK. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, ETC. HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, NISSAN MECHANIC NOTED THE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND GOT THOSE TO COME BACK ON. ONCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED, THE ISSUE SUDDENLY WAS GONE. VERSA WAS BROUGHT IN FOR NO POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL KEPT DISENGAGING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTORL MODULE, THE BRAKE MODULE AND THE POWER TRAIN. ACTS AS IF THE COMPUTER CONTROL IS GETTING SIGNALS THAT BASICALLY DISCONNECTS THE ACCELERATION SIGNALS, OR IS CAUSING THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO DISCONNECT, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN SHIFT THROUGH TH GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM. JUST WON'T GET ANY ACCELERATION AT ALL.

I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD A PULLEY BROKE ON THE TRANSMISSION! IT SUPPOSEDLY CAUSED SHRAPNEL TO SHOOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TOLD COULD OF GOTTEN INTO THE MOTOR! SO I WAS TOLD $4000 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP PUT ME THROUGH THE RINGER! THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED AND IT WASN'T!! IT WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT! THEN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. THEN I ENDED UP GETTING AHOLD OF THEM THE NEXT DAY AND THEY TOLD ME NO DOUBT IT IS FIXED AND THAT THEY ENDED UP NOT PUTTING IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER THEY READ UP ON IT.

VEHICLE HAS 106,000 MILES, BUT IS USED ONLY FOR LONG STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY COMMUTES.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL, WITH ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS. IT SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES THIS EARLY. IT FEELS LIKE THIS CAR IS A THROWAWAY VEHICLE.

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.

Summary

THE CVT TRANSMISSION LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED IN ORLANDO FL. SHE LIVES IN JACKSONVILLE FL. 2.5 HOURS AWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN SHE TRIED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEAD HOME AFTER CLASS. WENT DOWN TO ORLANDO WITH MY TRUCK, RENTED A TOW DOLLY FROM U-HAUL AND TOWED THE CAR BACK TO JACKSONVILLE FL. I AM A ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. I CONNECTED MY ($600.00) LAUNCH CR129 PRO SCANNER . IT DOES OBDII, ABS, SRS, TRANSMISSION. NO CODES NO MATTER HOW IT DROVE. AFTER 3 DAYS OF TROUBLESHOOTING I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS A NEW ONE AT THE COST OF $3800.00. THE CAR HAS 66,000 MILES AND IS A 2014. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TURNED DOWN FOR ANY HELP. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH JATCO TRANSMISSIONS, THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS IT, NISSAN KNOWS IT, MITSUBISHI & SUBARU BOTH USE THE SAME JATCO TRANSMISSION AND HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ISSUES ARE WIDE SPREAD OVER MULTIPLE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND ALL OF THEM ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEMS. A 2014 WITH 66000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A TRANSMISSION. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF OTHER TIMES MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND I'VE BEEN TO MY DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES DURING WARRANTY AND AFTER WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION, IN WHICH I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR IT, AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED MONTHS AFTER I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE.

Summary

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.

Summary

IN MOTION. THIS CAR WOULD VIBRATE WHILE STEERING (TURNING) AND ACCELERATING, FORCING THE RMPS TO FLEX UP WITHOUT GAIN OF POWER. THE RPMA WOULD RANDOMLY FLEX UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT A MAINTAINED SPEED. THEN A DAY AT A STORE I TURN THE CAR ON, WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AN IT STALLED OUT- 5 TIMES TO GET TO TO MOVE. THEN IT WOULD STALL OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP/AT A STOP/STILL IN GEAR (DRIVE) SO I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM IT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP OR AT A STOP. UNTIL ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I DIDN'T NEED TO COMPLETELY STOP AS I TURNED TO ANOTHER ROAD BC NO ONE WAS COMING, AS I USED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN MY SPEED THE RMP FLEXED UP AND DOWN BUT MY SPEED DECREASED LEADING TO THE CAR STALLLING OUT ON SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AND TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT AGAIN STALLED OUT, AFTER THAT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AN IT GOT TOWED TO MY PLACE WHERE IT SITS AND DOESN'T START OR MOVE, IT HAS 3 RECALLS COME TO FIND OUT AN I CONTACTED NISSAN WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME TO GO CALL NISSAN. SO PRETTY MUCH I'VE GOTTEN ZERO INFORMATION AN A RUN AROUND. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING 60MPH OR MORE AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND EVERYTHING LOCKS UP. WILL BE TRYING TO START THIS CAR TO DETERMINE IF IT SHOULD NEED TO BE TOWED 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP.

SIMILAR TO RECALL 16V244000. AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH EITHER AN ADULT OR A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IN THE SEAT. FIRST HAPPENED LAST YEAR, DEALER CHECKED AND RESET THE SENSOR AS A "CUSTOMER COURTESY" SO THERE IS NO PAPER TRAIL. HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ON VACATION.

OTHER TIMES, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL ALSO ILLUMINATE. IT CAN OCCUR WHILE STATIONARY, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, WHILE ON NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS, INTERMEDIATE ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WE'VE PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, NO CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR. IT HASN'T BEEN INTO THE DEALER YET FOR TODAY'S ISSUE, BUT THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES. THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR WOULD INDICATE A FLAW IN A COMPONENT OR SYSTEM TO ME.

Summary

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. AS I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT I BEGAN TO GRADUALLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. THE PEDAL FELT LIKE NORMAL RESISTANCE WAS THERE WHEN PUSHING ON IT WITH MY FOOT, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, LOOKED AT MY FEET TO MAKE SURE I WAS ON THE BRAKE, THEN SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL ONCE AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND LOCKED UP ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. ONCE I REALIZED THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND I REAR-ENDED THEM. AS I FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE THAT I HIT TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD ENGAGE, BUT NOT WITH THE NORMAL LEVEL OF RESISTANCE. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION WE WERE GOING TO PULL OVER AT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY. WE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION UNLESS THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. WE CHECKED BACK WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH AN INVESTIGATION AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND THAT THE FRAME IS DAMAGED.

ON 10/11/2016 MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR WOULD SHIFT HARD TRYING TO GET INTO A HIGHER GEAR AND THEN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL YOU COULD HEAR THE CAR ACCELERATE BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AND ASIDE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS WELL AS FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE CVT PROGRAM IN THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. MIND YOU THIS IS THE FIRST I HEAR OF SUCH RECALL WHEN I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS SUCH RECALL CAME OUT ON 08/12/2015. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING VIA MAIL, EMAIL, OR PHONE. I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY ADDRESS NOR PHONE NUMBER IN YEARS SO I DON'T SEE WHY THEY DID NOT GET IN CONTACT WITH ME OR MY DAD. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF LAST YEAR WHEN THIS ALL CAME ABOUT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE IN THIS SITUATION WHERE THEY TREATING ME WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND AS IF I DON'T KNOW MY RIGHTS AS A CUSTOMER. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AT ONE DEALERSHIP AND THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WAS "ON MY SIDE" AND ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A FEMALE.

CONNECTIONS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CRACK AND YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE PIPE AND THE MUFFLER. IN ADDITION, THE PIPE FROM THE CRACK FORWARD IS ALSO BEGINNING TO CRACK. THIS WAS MADE WITH DEFECTIVE METAL, AS A VEHICLE WITH 43,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PIPE AND MUFFLER, BECAUSE NISSAN MADE IT AS ONE PIECE. THIS ENDS UP TO BE A $400+ JOB WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE FOR MANY MORE MILES. THIS MUFFLER AND PIPE MUST BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET ALTERNATIVES. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON LINE.

SINCE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VERSA NOTE. FIRST I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN BECAUSE OF A BIG HUGE NOISE. THEY GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO FOR AVOIDING THE NOISE WHEN CHANGING FROM PARKING TO DRIVE. SINCE THAT MOMENT I'VE BEEN DOING WHAT THEY ASKED ME TO, BUT SOMETIMES IT MAKES THE NOISE. NOW SINCE ABOUT THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, THE CAR IS MAKING A DIFFERENT NOISE LIKE IF IT IS GOING TO TURN OFF WHEN I USE THE BRAKE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, LOOSE POWER, AND ALMOST TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY CHANGED THE AIR FILTER, AND THEY CLEANED SOMETHING ELSE. BUT THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I USE THE BRAKE TO LET A PEDESTRIAN CROSS THE STREET, SOMETIMES AT A RED LIGHT, LAST MONDAY TO LET A PERSON GET OFF THE CAR; IT START MAKING A NOISE AND SHAKING LIKE TURNING OFF. I'M SURE THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NISSAN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

TAKATA RECALL I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A TAKATA ISSUE, OR IF WE EVEN HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM IN OUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS OUR AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON. WE HAVE BEEN TURNING IT OFF BY DOING THE SYNCHRONIZED KEY TURN METHOD, WHERE IT WOULD WORK FOR A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS AND THEN THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON. WE TOOK IT INTO A DEALER, AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE "AIRBAG MODULE" BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE. WE TOOK IT TO ELHART AUTOMOTIVE IN HOLLAND, MI AND IT IS COMPLETELY COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER, WE WANTED TO SUBMIT THIS AS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE VIN DOESN'T GET A HIT ON THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN AIRBAG ISSUE - WHETHER IT IS ISOLATED OR A PART OF THE TAKATA THING, IS ABOVE MY PAYGRADE TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IF THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST, THAT IT IS APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, SUNDAY , APRIL 3 AROUND 12:30 PM, TEMPERATURE AROUND 40 DEGREES, SUNNY CONDITIONS, NO RAIN. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF ACCELERATION FROM THE FOOT PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR STILL HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS PROVIDED FROM THE SELLER, HERTZ, SO WE PUT LESS THAN 100 MILES SINCE THE PURCHASE. THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO ANY MOVEMENT FROM ON THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING NEUTRAL AND PARK. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, ETC. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE RETURNED AFTER THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON. THE 2014 VERSA HAS FLY- BY- WIRE THROTTLE, SO DIRECT LINKAGE IS NOT BROKEN, THIS SUGGESTS EITHER A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION OR AN INTERMITTENT APP SENSOR. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET, SEVERAL NISSAN AUTOMOBILES OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE VERSA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS WITH THIS REFERENCE, COULD YOU PROVIDE THE SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER SO THAT I CAN TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IF IT WERE TO OCCUR IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGH SPEEDS, THEREFORE I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH NHTSA. I FEEL THIS POTENTIALLY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUPPORT YOU CAN PROVIDE WITH SERVICE BULLETINS, OR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE OTHER NISSAN RECALLS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL IN TRAFFIC I MAY BE CONTACTED AT [XXX].

VIBRATIONS FELT THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN, SEATS AND FLOOR, WHENEVER CAR IS IN GEAR AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IDLE. VIBRATION GETS WORSE WHEN AC OR DEFROST IS TURNED ON. IT GOES AWAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER CAR TAKES SOME TIME TO MOVE WHEN SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VIBRATION IS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. VERY DISAPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST.

Summary

THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING THE EXHAUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE CRACKING OCCURS WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD IS HELD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE BY SCREWS AND BOLTS. THE WASHERS AND BOLTS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE PREDRILLED HOLES AND CAUSES STRESS FRACTURES AT THE HOLE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT SHIELD TO COME LOOSE AND RATTLE AGAINST THE EXHAUST. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS WITH SIMILAR HEAT SHIELDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RATTLE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING AS WELL AS POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE ENTIRE UNIT WERE TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD CAUSE UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAGS IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN AND MY SPOUSE'S 2009 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE AIRBAG BUT I AM AWARE FROM GOOD PRESS REPORTS INCLUDING NYTIMES THAT MANY VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TAKAT-MANUFACTURED BAGS TO THOSE RECALLED AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY HAS OCCURRED IN SUCH A VEHICLE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND THE ONLY INFORMATION ONLINE I HAVE FOUND IS THE LIST OF RECALLED MODELS. IF MINE IS NOT THERE, I STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAG AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE NHTSA SUPPLYING SUCH INFORMATION. ALTERNATIVELY, HOW DO I GET THE CARMAKER TO INFORM ME OF THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I AM VERY PLEASED THAT AN AGENCY SUCH AS YOURS EXISTS.

THE DEALER SAYS THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED THAT WAY TO PROTECT CHILDREN, AND THAT THE WEIGHT SENSOR FOR THE LIGHT IS SET AT ABOUT 150 LBS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL STANDARDS. CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE TRUE?? I MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT DESIGN DEFECT IF THE SAFETY OF A SMALL (CIRCA 100 LBS) ADULT IS NOT PROTECTED.

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. PUT CAR IN PARK, AND TRY TO RESTART BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING TRAFFIC. MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I LET CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 7/6/15 AND THEY ADJUSTED THE IDLE BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. ON 8/8/15, I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED TO YIELD TO TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR ON 8/11/15 TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ECM, BUT DID NOT SAY THAT WOULD PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE. I'M AN EXTREMELY CONCERNED CONSUMER AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POST ONLINE FROM CONSUMERS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, AND I DON'T FEEL NISSAN HAS DONE THEIR PART TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. BEING THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITH OUT FOREWARNING, I'M CONCERNED SHOULD THIS SHUT DOWN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED A FATALITY COULD OCCUR.

I HAD TO STOP REAL QUICK TO AVOID HITTING A STRAY DOG RUNNING ACROSS THE STREET. I FELL FORWARD THE STERRING WHEEL. MY SEAT BELT WAS LOOSE. THE SEAT BELT COVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT POPPED OFF AND WOULD CUT MY ARMS OR HANDS WHENEVER I HAD TO REACH IN BACK TO LOCK OR UNLOCK BACK DOOR. THAT WAS FINALLY COMPLETED APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO. BY A NISSAN DEALER. HOWEVER, IT STATED ON THE WORK ORDER. THEY DID IT THE BEST WAY- THEY COULD. LAST NIGHT, 8/4/2015, I USED THE SEAT BELT AND IT WAS LOOSE WHEN I PUT IT ON AND NEVER GOT ANY TIGHTER, EVEN IF I TRIED TO MOVE AROUND THE FRONT SEAT. WITH OR WITHOUT BRAKES IT NEVER TIGHTENS UP IF I MAKE A SUDDEN STOP.. I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO ME. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON IT-ORDERS FROM ABOVE. MY BRAKES ACT CRAZY SINCE THEY DID THAT RECALL SYSTEM AND NOW THIS(PLUS MY OTHER PROBLEMS). SEAT BELTS ARE A MUST IN MY CAR. HOW CAN I TELL MY PASSENGERS TO WEAR THEIRS WHEN MINE JUST HANG ON ME. THIS IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

Summary

I LIVE IN ARIZONA. I HAD COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. AT THE POINT OF MAKING THE RIGHT TURN THE CAR DIED. I COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TURN. BASICALLY I STARTED TO HEAD INTO OTHER CARS THAT WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN WHICH WAS PERPENDICULAR TO MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS AND AT THE SAME TIME WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY ANY CARS. THE CAR ENDED UP IN THAT LEFT TURN LANE. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS A 1/2 MILE AWAY. IT WAS ABOUT 105 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE. I THINK ONE OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS MENTIONS EXACTLY WHAT I WENT THROUGH. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE ONE OR MORE PEOPLE WILL GET HURT OR DIE. I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ISSUE REALLY OF ANY TYPE WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE. ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK THAT IS NEEDED HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I DID NOTICE PROBABLY 30 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. I KEPT THINKING I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR IN THE CORRECT GEAR BUT I DID. THE CAR DURING THAT TIME SEEMED SLUGGISH.

MAYBE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT HIGHLY IRRITATING. IN WINTER, NO MATTER HOW COLD, THE VEHICLE TAKES WAY TOO LONG TO HEAT UP FOR WARM CABIN AIR. I LIVE 7 MILES FROM WORK, BUT IT STILL TAKES ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO GET THERE. I AM NOT GETTING WARM ENOUGH AIR UNTIL IM ALMOST AT WORK. IT MATTERS NOT HOW LONG I LET IT IDLE. ON VERY COLD DAYS, I DONT GET DEFROSTER HEAT AND I HAVE INTERIOR FROST ALL THE TIME. AFTER READING VERSA FORUMS ONLINE, IM LED TO BELLIEVE ITS ALL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS TWO THERMOSTATS AND AN OIL COOLER. IN CONTRAST, MY WIFES NEW 3 CYLINDER MITSUBISHI MIRAGE IS WARM IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. HAD I KNOWN THIS BEFORE HAND I PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT.

AS I WAS SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT MY BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSATE. THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY STRANGE NOISES. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL RELEASED SLIGHTLY AND I BEGAN TO ROLL SLOWLY FORWARD, SO I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKES AND STOPPED. THIS WAS A NEW CAR AT THE TIME SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS I JUST DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH I KNEW THE PULSATING WAS NOT NORMAL. EVER SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE PULSATING BRAKES AS I'M SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES RELEASING WHILE I'M AT A STOP HAPPENS OFTEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER. I NOTICE THAT WHEN I'M AT A STOP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KICKS ON, THE BRAKES WILL OFTEN RELEASE AND I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I KNOW THE INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUES HAS BEEN CLOSED, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE BRAKES IN THIS CAR.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 02/14/2014 AND YESTERDAY WAS THE FORTH TIRE TO GO FLAT ALL FOUR HAVE BEEN ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE. THE FIRST TWO I'M NOT 100% ON WHAT CAUSED IT AS I JUST ASSUMED I RAN OVER A NAIL THE FIRST TIME AND THEN JUST HAD BAD LUCK ON THE 2ND TIME. THE THIRD TIME (STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2014-RIGHT AFTER THE 2ND FLAT AND GETTING A BRAND NEW TIRE) THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WOULD CHECK AND IT WOULD BE LOW. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCATION I GOT THE NEW TIRE FROM AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHEN A FEW MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN DECEMBER THE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET OIL CHANGED...THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT...THEY FILLED IT WITH AIR. AGAIN I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIME. IN APRIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT A LOT QUICKER. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, NOTHING. NEXT DAY IT WAS FLAT AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE SO I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE, AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP (YAP THREE DAYS IN A ROW). LEFT IT THERE ALL DAY. THEY FOUND A PIN HOLE IN THE SIDE. I BOUGHT A NEW TIRE. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLOW. THIS TIME THERE IS A INCH SIDE SLASH ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE TIRE. IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE PIN HOLE IN THE OTHER TIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THE SEEM WHERE THE BUMPER IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR IS TO SHARP OR RUFF AND KILLING THAT TIRE. I STILL HAVE THE TWO TIRES WITH THE ISSUES AND WILL TRY TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED.

WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE 18000 MILES I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE NEW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER, HE DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED BUT TOLD ME I COULD LEAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS TO TRY AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. WITH NO OFFER OF A LOANER, I COULD NOT BE WITHOUT THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WILL RETURN TO THE DEALER AND DEMAND A FULL EVALUATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INFREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY ANY LESS SERIOUS.

WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, I WENT TO START IT BY PRESSING THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID AS WELL. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR THEM TO RELEASE AND COME BACK UP, BEFORE I COULD GET MY CAR STARTED AND DRIVE BACK HOME. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE IT WAS GOING TO STICK AGAIN ON MY 2 HOUR RIDE BACK HOME.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX] I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THIS CAR DOES NOT AT ALL SOUND LIKE A NEW CAR. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT, BUT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SMOOTHLY GET INTO GEAR. IT'S LOUD AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE I HEAR A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHETHER IT'S ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'VE DISCUSSED HEARING THIS SOUND BEFORE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND ALSO WENT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES. I'M BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I DIDN'T PURCHASE A "BRAND NEW" CAR TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ADVISED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES AND REQUESTED A BUY BACK. AFTER WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER, THEY ADVISED ME ON 4/9/15 THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCOMMODATE MY REQUEST. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS AN UNSAFE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER BEING READY TO BACK UP I PLACE THE 2014 VERSA IN REVERSE. I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BACK UP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MY FOOT WAS CAUGHT ON SOMETHING AND I WAS ACTUALLY ADDED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I BACKED UP AND I TRIED TO SWING THE CAR AWAY FROM THE PARKED RENTAL CARS BEHIND ME. WAS ABLE TO PULL MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. I HIT THREE CARS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. WE DAMAGED OUR REAR FACIA AND THE REAR FACIAS OF THE THREE CARS I HIT AND IT ALSO DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF LAST CAR I HIT. WHILE EXAMINING THE DAMAGE OF FORM THE ACCIDENT A SUPERVISOR FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY SAID WE SHOULDN'T FEEL SO BAD SINCE ONE OF THEIR DRIVERS HAD DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR BUT ONLY DAMAGED THE CAR THAT HE WAS MOVING. AT FIRST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND THEN I SAW THE RECENT NTSB ISSUES FOR THIS. I ALSO CHECK ALL OF MY OTHER CARS. THOSE CARS DO NOT HAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE SIDE OF THE CONSEL. I HAVE NOT GOT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE CONDITION EXISTS ON CURRENT MODELS. THE MODEL YEAR MIGHT NOT BE CORRECT I WAS JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER IS THIS WAS A 14 OR 15. THE VIN I GOT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY SO IT HAS TO BE WHAT EVER COMES FROM THERE. *TR

Summary

DRIVING TO ALA. FROM GA. HAD DIFFICULT TIME SEEING OUT WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD DUE TO CONDENSATION BUILDING UP INSIDE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, PASSENGER SIDE, AND WINDSHIELD. IT WAS RAINING & DIFF IN TEMP., HAD TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES AND WIPE OFF WITH CLOTH TOWELS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET RADIO REPLACED AND SHOWED THEM THE TRUNK WAS WET (CARPET SHOWED RINGS) AND THE RIGHT DRIVERS DOOR HAD BIG GAP BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND DOOR FRAME AREA - IT IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES. THE FRONT DOORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE BELOW THE BACK DOORS AND THE GAPS ARE INCREASING WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR. INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PLASTIC HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF TWICE. THE WIPER BLADES HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BECAUSE THEY JUST START TO TEAR IN SMALL AREAS. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND SEEN BY THE SERVICE DEPT. EVEN WHEN THE MOISTURE COLLECTS INSIDE DURING A RAIN SHOWER (DEFROSTER WON'T PREVENT THIS) . THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE LEAK IN THE TRUNK OR THE DOORS. I AM SCARED THAT ONE OF THE DOORS WILL FALL OFF. THE GAP HAS INCREASED IN 6 WEEKS YOU CAN STAND 2 FT. AWAY AND SEE THE SCREWS. I CAN HARDLY LOCK THE CAR (MANUALLY). NO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL FIX IT WITHIN 120 MILES. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS AND IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, THERE IS A AWFUL SMELL WHEN I START IT WITHIN THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS ME NOT THE CAR. *TR

Summary

WHILE TRAVELING OUT A COUNTRY ROAD, I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL. WHEN I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO STOP, I HAD NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. I COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING FROM EITHER DIRECTION SO I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE TURN ON TO THE ROADWAY BUT HAD NO STEERING EITHER. WITH NO WAY TO CONTROL THE CAR I ENDED UP GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, ACROSS THE ROAD, THROUGH A TREE STUMP AND INTO THE SIDE OF AN ABANDONED HOUSE. WITH THE IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT EVEN WITH AN IMPACT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUSPENSION DAMAGE ALONG WITH OTHER MAJOR BODY AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT, THE FIRST IS WHEN MY HUSBAND HIT A DEER HEAD ON AT 55MPH AND AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING TRIGGERED. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE, I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN BUT CAR QUICKLY RECOVERED. THE DASH AND RADIO HAS FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES ON AND OFF AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER AND SHUTTERS BEFORE FINALLY PICKING UP SPEED. THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WOULD SEND US ON OUR WAY AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE NON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THEY JUST STATED THAT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS, WELL NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

2014 VERSA NOTE SV BOUGHT NEW, FOUND RUST ON THE 3RD DAY OF PURCHASE IN 12+ AREAS UNDERNEATH INCLUDING SUB-FRAME AND VARIOUS COMPONENTS. COMPLAINED AND REQUESTED REPLACEMENT WITH A RUST FREE CAR. NISSAN WON'T REPLACE OR REFUND DESPITE EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE, EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, VISITS TO THE DEALER, FURNISHING DATE STAMPED PICTURES OF RUST AREAS. NISSAN IS DRAGGING ITS FEET WITH FEEBLE EXCUSES - ' NO EXCESSIVE RUST FOUND' "RUST IS NOT AFFECTING SAFETY OF THE CAR' 'RUST NOT AFFECTING PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR' - WHICH IS WHY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. UPON TELLING THEM THAT THE DUE TO RUST, THE RESALE VALUE OF CAR IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED TO JUNK CAR VALUE - THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. FILED COMPLAINTS WITH AUTHORITIES INCLUDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUT THEY ARE SLOW TO PROCESS SO NOTHING HAS COME OF IT SO FAR AND NISSAN WON'T STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS. BBB AUTOLINE HAS SIDED WITH NISSAN AND THEY JUST PISSED ON THE LEMON LAW DOING THAT - DESPITE PROVIDING SCORES OF DATE STAMPED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE RUST AREAS. NISSAN IS NOT GIVING ME A CHARITY CAR, NOR IT IS A USED CAR THAT THEY HAVE SOLD ME. I HAVE PAID FULL PRICE WITH HIGH INTEREST FOR 6 YEARS THAT I AM GOING TO BE PAYING AND I DESERVE A RUST FREE CAR WITHOUT DEFECTS BUT NISSAN DOES NOT SEEM TO AGREE TO THAT. PEOPLE, PLEASE THINK A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE BUYING A NISSAN. A COMPANY THAT IS TRYING TO GET AWAY USING EVERY LAME EXCUSE. I AM AFRAID THAT NISSAN MAY HAVE SOLD A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS TO BUYERS, WITH RUST SIMPLY BECAUSE THE AMERICAN BUYER TRUSTS MANUFACTURERS FOR THEIR QUALITY AND INTEGRITY - BUT NOT IN CASE OF NISSAN. IF ANY LAW STUDENTS/RETIRED LAWYERS/LAWYERS ARE WILLING TO HELP - FOR AN AFFORDABLE FEE - AS I CAN NOT AFFORD A LOT AT THIS TIME - PLEASE HELP ME AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS. *TR

Summary

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE CAR DEALER IN THE SPRING. WHEN TURNING ON THE AC PARTICLES CAME OUT OF THE AIR VENTS AND INTO MY EYES. I WEAR CONTACT LENSES AND IT TEMPORARILY BLINDED ME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT AND GET THE PARTICLES OUT OF MY EYES. THE PARTICLES LOOKED LIKE GRASS SEEDS. SINCE THEN, I ALWAYS TURN ON MY BLOWER BEFORE MOVING TO CLEAR THE VENTS. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A CABIN AIR FILTER, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PLACE FOR ONE TO BE INSTALLED. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN OF AMERICA AND THEY CONFIRMED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. I TOLD THEY CHEAPED OUT THE CAR AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CABIN AIR FILTER AT THE COST OF ~ $60.00. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY AND POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FATALITY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EQUIP THEIR CARS WITH CABIN AIR FILTERS. CARS BUILD PRIOR TO CABIN AIR FILTERS DIDN'T SEEN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE WAY THEY TOOK AIR INTO THE CAR. *TR

SO I SIT AND WAIT ON THE SHOULDER AGAIN START THE CAR UP AND STARTED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THE VEHICLE STILL FELT LIKE IT WAS HESITATING WHILE MOVING AT SLOW SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BUT ONCE THE TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AND I GOT UP TO NORMAL 60-65MPH THE VEHICLE FELT NORMAL AGAIN... NOT SURE IF THE HEAT FROM DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT WAS GETTING TO THE CAR BUT IT ONLY SEEM TO DO IT AT LOW SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. BUT HONESTLY WHEN IT DID OCCUR IT WAS UNSETTLING NONETHELESS BEING IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF AND HAVING NO POWER STEERING TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY.

IT SHOULDN'T EXHIBIT ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS HOPEFULLY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE CAUSE I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANY BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE BEING SUCH A NEW CAR OR IF I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT EXHIBITED THIS ISSUE, BUT DEFINITELY WAS NOT A GOOD FEELING DRIVING A NEW CAR AND HAVING IT SHUT OFF ON YOU. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE DOES NOT REACH THE WINDSHIELD AT HIGH SPEEDS (30MPH+). THEY ONLY WORK GOOD WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS MY SECOND 2014 VERSA NOTE AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST ONE BUT NOT QUITE AS BAD AS THE NEWER ONE. I TALKED TO THE MAN AT THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THEM TO SPRAY HIGHER. I PUT SMALL METAL WASHERS UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SPRAYER NOZZLES ON THE FIRST ONE BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING FOR THE NEW ONE. I TRIED TWO WASHERS BUT THAT JUST LIFTS THE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY OUT OF THE HOUSING AND THE WASHERS FALL OUT. I DRIVE ABOUT 1000 MILES PER WEEK AND THIS IS A REAL ANNOYANCE AND A HAZARD IF I CAN'T GET THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR. I HAVE TO BE SURE TO CLEAR THEM AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON A 3 LANE ROAD FOR WHICH THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH ON A HOT SUMMER NEVADA DAY (103 DEGREES) THE VERSA SUDDENLY FELT AS IF IT WAS DRAGGING AND BEGAN TO LOOSE SPEED. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STOPPED MOVING EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I CHECKED THE FUEL LEVEL WHICH STILL HAD A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF , CHECKED TO SEE IF THE GEAR WAS ON NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS ON DRIVE, I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND PS ICON WERE ON. I CHECKED FOR THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO SEE IT WAS ENGAGED BUT IT WAS NOT. THE A/C WAS BLASTING, THE RADIO WAS ON, THE ENGINE SOUNDED ACTIVE BUT CAR WAS NOT MOVING. I TURNED OFF EVERYTHING, UNPLUGGED MY IPOD AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT ANOTHER 3 MILES TO THE SAFETY OF MY HOME. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SALES PERSON I DEALT WITH TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE SERVICE TECH WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND MADE ME TAKE THE CAR BACK. I TOLD THE DEALER I WANT TO RETURN THE CAR, OF COURSE IT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE 3 DAY PERIOD TO RETURN THE CAR WAS ALREADY PASSED. I OPENED A CASE WITH THE NISSAN HQ , THEY ARE CLAIMING IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS I PUT IN THE CAR AND THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES IN NEVADA. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REP TOLD ME HE HEARD OF SIMILAR CASES AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY WHEN COSTUMER CHANGED THE GRADE OF GAS USED . THIS SOUNDS LIKE BOLOGNA TO ME. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I READ ABOUT OTHER CASES WHERE THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO 1 CAR IN LESS THAN A WEEK. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME , MY PASSENGERS AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. NO WARNING ,NO TIME TO GET OUT ON A BUSY FREEWAY . I AM NOT PUTTING LIVES ON THE LINE. *TR

WE RECENTLY (2 NOV) PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION ,OUR PROBLEM IS WITH DOWN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH . WHEN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH THE SHIFTER WILL RANDOMLY LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PHYSICAL MOVE THE SHIFTER IN EVERY DIRECTION TILL YOU CAN SHIFT AGAIN OR IF YOU?RE LUCKY AS YOU?RE COASTING AND FIGHTING WITH THE SHIFTER IT POPS LOOSE AND YOU CAN SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SHIFT LINKAGE LOCKS UP AND THE CAR WON?T GO FULLY INTO 4TH. MY WIFE HAS TAKEN OFF WORK TWICE AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED AT OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (LEGLUE NISSAN, ALEXANDRIA, LA). BOTH TIMES SHE HAS BEEN SHE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER A SHORT TEST DRIVE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, ALL THE 2014 VERSAS SHIFT LIKE THAT. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND RECEIVED A SIMILAR ANSWER BASICALLY THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE VERSA HAS A HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 4TH BUT THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. ALSO, LET ME AT THIS TIME ALLEVIATE ANY CONCERN ABOUT US BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE.
