Its the transmission for nissian CVT i was unable to change my gear in time when i hit the highway

I had an accident, and it was pretty bad and my air bags did not deploy. The car might be a total loss and I was very surprised and concerned that the bags did not deploy. Even my phone detected the crash and alerted my family members. That happened immediately after the crash.

Over the past 4 years I have delt with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note SV constantly stalling in the middle of the road. I have replaced the transmission, TCM, and brake light wiring harness. I have had the Nissan dealership assess my vehicle three different times for 3+ days. They have completed wiring diagnostics and determined that the brake light wiring harness is getting water into the wiring causing a short and blowing the #49 fuse under the hood that also operates the transmission CVT/TCM. Their solution was to replace the wiring harness. This was completed last week. It rained again the last couple days off and on. The fuse has blown again. This causes the vehicle to stall in the middle of the road. There is no advanced warning or messages that appear. The check engine light does not come on either. It is way too hot out for my new baby for the vehicle to stall and not be able to run. Cars begin honking and swerving around my vehicle. The vehicle has to be pushed out of the road. Fuse after fuse has been replaced. New light bulbs. New wiring harness and still the same outcome. Please help.

Hi, I am writing to express my concern regarding a recurring issue with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note. Recently, I noticed that the vehicle emits a noticeable noise when the engine reaches 1500 to 2000 RPM. Upon consulting a mechanic, I was informed that this problem is common with the CVT transmission in Nissan Versa Note models. The mechanic advised that the transmission needs to be replaced, as this defect poses a significant hazard. There is a risk that the transmission could fail without warning, compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. Given the severity of this issue, I request that Nissan initiate a recall to address and rectify this problem promptly. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

We bought a Nissan Versa Note 2014 in March of 2023. It currently has 74K miles. The transmission is shot. It doesn't want to shift, and revs up to high rpm's. We have had two mechanics check on it. Up to $7,000 to get fixed. The second issue is the steering. The steering gear has gone out. It makes a clicking noise when turning. This is so bad the mechanic said not to drive the car anymore. $1100 to fix. We now need to pay as much to fix the car as we owe on it.

My transmission went out pre-maturely on the high way and I almost got rear-ended. It’s a CVT transmission which has had a class action lawsuit which I wasn’t aware of when I bought car in 2020. Nissan should hold more responsibility but they refuse to help my basically totaled car.

Transmission went out.

Heat shields for exhaust system particularly protecting the gas tank from high heat tear easily at bolts making a rattling sound as a first symptom. This causes cracks in the heat shield which is flimsy, thin material. It poses a risk to drivers in that the gas tank could explode due to lack of protection or from poor protection from heat of exhaust. The sheer number of Nissan Versa and Versa Plus heat shields failing is alarming.

2014 hatchback nissan versa note Water leak to passenger side front and back cowl plug clog cannot get at to clean. window not work& other electric issues could follow. from several days of severe rain.

I was the driver, and was tbone by someone on passenger side. My speed was 33mph, none of my airbag went off. I've became injuried badly since the accident. The vehicle came straight from manufacturer to dealership, then to me. No accidents was reported before mine. No, I didn't see any warning light, everything looked okay, I bought this car from dealership, was told no problem with it, unfortunately it took an accident to find out the hard way.

When reaching speeds around 20 mph, usually on turning corners, car feels like its 'skipping' not catching (so this could be like when picking up speed after reducing speed). I'm currently having wheel bearings replaced and the certified mechanic working on it says it appears to be transmission related and recommended me to take it to Nissan as he assumed (wrongly!) that it should still be covered under warranty. The vehicle has 71,000 miles. This issue doesn't always appear and is random as to showing up, but it is frequent.

Transmission malfunction. No light indicators turned on to signal transmission issues. Took car to dealer x 2 to file complaint. Told car was fine and that was how car functions. 3rd time went to dealer for same issue and told new transmission needed.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa Note. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the seat track rail sensor, Occupant Classification System (OCS), and front passenger's side seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,887.

Transmission slipping

CVT transmission would not shift gears. CVT is an automatic transmission, that's supposed to shift automatically. The car would be stuck in low gear causing problems while driving. I took car to Nissan dealer and purchased new CVT transmission

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

Transmission failed at 65,000 miles

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.

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!

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.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE WHICH IS 7 YEARS OLD, AND HAS 124,XXX MILES ON IT. THE MORE I READ ONLINE THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON, WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS MILES ON IT. MY CAR WOULD OFTEN SHAKE OR VIGOROUSLY VIBRATE, AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION RECALL UPDATE PERFORMED BY NISSAN THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES WITH SHIFTING. I HAVE TO LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY MADE A CASE AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW OF THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

IN NOV. 2019 CAR WAS PUTTING TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LOW AND IY HAD A LEAK IN THE LINE THEY PUT FLUIDS IN IT IT WAS OK FOR A MINUTE THEN ON NOV 13 HAD TRANS COOLER LINE PUT IN IT WAS RUNNING OK UNTIL NOW STILL PUTTING YOU REIMBURSE MY MY BUT I NEED A TRANSMISSION ARE YOU DOING RECALLS ON MY TRANSMISSION

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS. ALSO HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF OR SLOW WHEN TAKING OFF WITCH CAN LEAD TO A ACCIDENT. THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL TOO OFTEN. NISSAN HAS NOT OFFERED A UPGRADE TO THE PROBLEM. THEY WIND UP PUTTING ONE DEFECTIVE TRANNY AFTER ANOTHER

THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON NISSAN VERSA NOTE TRANSMISSIONS AND I WAS JUST RECENTLY INFORMED THAT IT INCLUDED MY TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO REPLACE IT.

TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR

I BOUGHT THIS 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE BRAND NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN. AFTER 6 YEARS THE CAR STARTED TO GIVE US A PROBLEM WITH THE POWERTRAIN. IT WON'T CHANGE THE GEAR, TAKES OFF IS SLOW, LOSES POWER, AND MAKING NOISE.I HAVE NO MONEY TO GET IT FIXED , THEREFORE NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THE ISSUE.THE DEALER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM IS OUT OF BUSINESS.

NEVER HAD ISSUES UNTIL NOW BUT I'VE BEEN RANDOMLY HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING LOCKING UP ON ME. IT'S A REAL DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ONE MINUTE IT'S NORMAL AND DRIVABLE. THEN I MAY GET BACK IN THE CAR AND IT'S LOCKING UP AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE A REGULAR POWER STEERING PUMP,BECAUSE MY CAR RUNS OFF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I JUST REALLY NEED HELP FIGURING OUT THE SOURCE OF THIS ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 93492 ON 03/26/2018 COSTING ME $3749.74

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN ISSUE AND I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT AND REPLACED IT AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP MAY THE 15TH AND YESTERDAY JULY 29TH AT 7PM THIS SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED EXTREMELY ANOTHER TIME WHEN I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY IN SIOUX FALLS SD AND I ALMOST KILLED BY FAST TRAFFIC BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T ACCELERATING AND MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NO POWER SO I STOPPED THE CAR AND I WAS PRAYING NO ONE WILL KILL ME IN THAT VERY FAST TRAFFIC SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THEY COULDN'T LET ME PULL OVER WHEN I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND I RESTARTED IT AFTER 20 MIN AND WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE CAR TO COOL DOWN I WAS CALLING SIOUX FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT UNFORTUNATELY NO ANSWER AFTER A WAIT OF 15MIN . THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE SECOND TRANSMISSION BUT I RETURNED IT 3 TIMES TO THEM AND THEY CLAIMED THERE IS NO ISSUE IN THE REPORTS. BUT AI LEGALLY RECORDED THEM CONFIRMING THE ISSUE WHEN THEY WERE TEST DRIVING IT AND I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS AN ISSUE

I NOTICED THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND JERKS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE PREVENTING ME FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THE COST OF A NEW ONE IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 72,XXX MILES ON IT.

DRIVING ON CITY ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MPH GOING OVER BRIDGE, AND CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING. CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. ALMOST GOT HIT A COUPLE TIMES. STUCK IN MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD.THE CAR HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. REGULARLY OIL CHANGES AND SERVICED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNINGS BEFOREHAND THAT PREPARED ME FOR THE INCIDENT. CHECKED BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND TRIED TO RESTART, NO STARTUP. HAD TO CAR A TOW TRUCK TO GET IT TOWED TO HOME, THEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA. THE NISSAN SERVICE IN MY AREA HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA.

JUST LOOK AT MY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND IT HAD NO REPAIR 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 ALMOST DIED. T HE TRANSMISSION IS TRASH. WHEN THE CAR COMES TO STOP AND HIT THE PEDAL THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE AND WHEN IF FINALLY ACCELERATES KEEPS SHAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS.

NISSAN VERSA 1.6 LITER CVT TRANSMITION 119,800 MILES TRANSMITION FAIL,DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND HIWAY WITH THIS BAD MANUFACTURE TRANSMITIONS

TRANSMISSION PULLS AND TUGS, SPORADIC ACCELERATION/DECELERATION,

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.
