ON TUESDAY, MAY 23, 2017, I WAS DRIVING ON US 95 NORTHBOUND IN LAS VEGAS. IT WAS AROUND 5:30 PM, SO RUSH-HOUR. TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE NOT EVEN GOING 15 MPH. TRAFFIC HAD STARTED TO MOVE AND AS I HIT THE CAR I NOTICED MY CAR HAD NO POWER AND MY CAR HAD DIED! A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD BUT THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING. I COASTED OVER TO THE LEFT EMERGENCY LANE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 5 MIN AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF AND THE CAR DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. I BEGAN TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THERE. BUT MY CAR SHOULDN'T JUST DIE IN TRAFFIC! I'M GLAD TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER AND NOT CRAZY! IF MY CAR HAD DIED WHILE GOING FASTER I MAY HAVE BEEN HIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

AFTER BEING ON THE FREEWAY FOR A ABOUT AN HOUR, I FINALLY TOOK AN EXIT AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE AT A GREEN LIGHT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER PRESSING ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS, BUT AFTER ABOUT GEN SECONDS IT SPEEDED UP VERY RAPIDLY AND I QUICKLY HAD TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID CRASHING INTO A VEHICLE IN FRONT. IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS AT ANY STOPS I MADE UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, AS THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT ALERTED ME OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. AGAIN I FELT THE VEHICLE TAKE A BIT TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP BUT IT WAS NOT LIKE THE NIGHT BEFORE, IT WAS DRIVE ABLE. AFTER LEAVING IT AT THE SHOP THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE WAS THE PROBLEM, IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. A $4000 REPLACEMENT ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 103000 MILES. I DECIDED TO DRIVE BACK HOME AND AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I WAS ON A BUSY STREET AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK. IT WOULD ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO ALARM VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO PROCEED WITH CAUTION, AS MY CAR WOULD DECELERATE OUT OF NOWHERE. AGAIN THE BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON. IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT HOME THAT THE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE, AND THE FACT THAT DRIVERS DON'T GET ANY SORT OF ALERT AS TO A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. PHYSI

IT IS NOW GOING INTO THE END OF MAY AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY LETTER. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL CURRENTLY. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE ANY OTHER VEHICLE AS THIS IS MY PRIMARY USE OF TRANSPORTATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THIS REQUEST IS.

CVT TRANSMISSION. CAR WAS IN MOTION, COULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOPPED AT RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. TOOK TO NISSAN IN GAINESVILLE FL...TOLD IT NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION, QUOTED OVER 3500.00. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PUTS OCCUPANTS AT RISK FOR REAR END COLLISIONS. CAR HAS LESS THAN 110K. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE TO BE TAKING PLACE. HAD CVT FLUSHED AND REPROGRAMMED PRIOR (DEC 2016). AND NOW THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CVT NONSENSE AND EVIDENTLY SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORI FOR NISSAN. BOUGHT CAR NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER....HAVE HAD OTHER MINOR ISSUES FIXED WHEN THEY HAPPENED, BUT A TRANSMISSION THAT IS FAULTY IS UNACCEPTABLE. WROTE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE ON WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO ABOUT THE ISSUE...ITS FAULTY. THIS CORPORATION SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND LIABLE FOR NEGLECT ON THEIR PART. YOU DON'T JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF YOUR CONSUMERS IN THIS MANNER. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAS TO BE FIXED NEXT WEEK. UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HAVE LIVELIHOODS AND JOBS....YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLE, THAT IT WOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THAN 110K...THAT'S LOW MILEAGE BY TODAY'S STANDARDS. MY SON WAS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING SLAMMED FROM THE REAR.

I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY SOLVED 11 DAYS BEFORE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. MY CAR HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR LESS THAN 5 YEARS (IT WILL BE 5 YEARS THIS DECEMBER) AND IS STILL UNDER 60,000 MILES (IT HAS ABOUT 52,000). BOTH OF THE FRONT SPRINGS RECENTLY BROKE, AND I AM FROM ONE OF THE STATES WHO ISSUED A RECALL FOR NISSAN VERSAS MANUFACTURED FROM 2006- NOVEMBER 11, 2012 (MINE WAS MANUFACTURED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2012). THIS TYPE OF ISSUE CANNOT BE CAUSED BY USER ERROR, AND THE RECALL THAT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT SPRINGS COULD BE CORRODED BY SALT ON THE ROAD FOR THINGS LIKE SNOW- SOMETHING THAT IS A BIG ISSUE IN MY STATE. I BELIEVE THAT THE SPRINGS SHOULD BE COVERED AND/OR RECALLED AT LESS THAN 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES, ESPECIALLY SO SOON AFTER THEY ALLEGEDLY FIXED/CHANGED THE PART OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I STARTED HEARING CLUNKING NOISES THAT INCREASED OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK IN SOUND AND FREQUENCY, ONLY WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL FAR (IN EITHER DIRECTION) WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, REGARDLESS OF SPEED.

ON 8 MARCH 2017, MY BATTERY DIED AND I HAD IT REPLACED AT TJ AUTOMATICS & SERVICES. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE GOING ON VACATION. ON 21 MARCH 2017, AS I'M DRIVING HOME ON THE FAR (FAST) LEFT LANE, ON I-85N, ATLANTA, GA.AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30PM, THE CAR SHUTS-DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED SHOP AND THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT SHOWED ECM NO COMMUNICATION. THEY REPLACED A MAXI FUSE 20A AND REPROGRAMED KEY. ON 23 MARCH 2017, I PICK UP THE CAR FROM THE SHOP, DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES AND CAR SHUTS-DOWN AGAIN. AS OF 9 APRIL 2017, THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP. THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE.

BOTH FRONT SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED AND HANG DOWN SO THE FIELD OF VIEW LOOKING OUT THROUGH WINDSHIELD IS OBSTRUCTED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WANT US TO PAY $500.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SAYS IT WAS NOT RECALLED AND VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WILL NEED TO GET VELCRO AND DIY TO CORRECT PROBLEM UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE TO FORCE THEM TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN VERSA SV WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION IN IT. AT ABOUT 110000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE DO A DRAIN AND FILL ON THE TRANSMISSION, THAT WAS DONE CAR MADE IT 5 MILES AND TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED TO MY WIFE THIS HAS A 50/50 CHANCE OF WORKING. ON THEIR STATEMENT THEY POSTED THAT IT NEEDED A 4000 TRANSMISSION BEFORE SHE LEFT THE LOT WITH IT. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF READING ON THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR ISSUES ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL 2010 THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES, NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND THIS THEY HAVE OFFERED US 750.00 ON A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

I WAS TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASSED 40MPH AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED OFF THE CAR. LOCATED A NISSAN DEALER AND DROVE THE CAR THERE. AT FIRST THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ONCE AGAIN NORMAL, BUT AGAIN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL PASSED 40MPH. DEALER IS STATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE! I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW ON 2/12/2013. NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE?? THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE 5000.00 TO FIX IT, BUT LOWERED THE PRICE TO 1800.00. IT'S 6000 MILES PASSED THE WARRANTY AND NOW WHAT? I NEED NISSAN USA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE EMITTING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT RECENTLY 2012 NISSAN VERSA CAR WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION. NOT EVEN AFTER 6 MONTHS OF USING THE CAR, IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE IT FOR $4300, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME AS MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR. AFTER READING MORE ONLINE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS REALLY COMMON ISSUE AND THIS TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT VERY OFTEN. ON TOP OF THAT THEY CAN'T BE REBUILD. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY HAD RECALLS ON DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT ARE STILL AVOIDING ON THIS ONE. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME SOFTWARE ISSUE, THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH PRESSURE WHEN CHANGING GEARS BETWEEN D AND L. WE WERE ABOUT TO GET THE ADVISED UPDATED LAST SATURDAY, UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE IT. THE OFFICIAL LETTER STATES THAT IT COULD LOWER THE DURABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT ON THE PHONE. MY CASE WAS EVALUATED BY SUMMER, FROM HQ AND GOT NOTIFIED BY HER THAT NISSAN, WON'T HELP IN ANY WAY.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET.

TAKATA RECALLS MY CAR WAS STATIONARY THIS MORNING AT RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. AFTER THE LIGHT CHANGE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND ON THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WENT BACKWARD. PRAISE GOD THE CAR BEHIND ME MOVED OVER TO THE NEXT LANE, I LOOK AT MY SHIFT AND IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AND SOMETIMES ALTHOUGH I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK THE VEHICLE TIRED TO MOVE.

I PURCHASED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA FROM HENDERSON NISSAN ON 7/6/14. HERE IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THROUGH: 7/24/14- ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP. (HAD 58,658 MILES) 5/28/15- IP COVER RECALL. 11/16/15- TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN! ALONG WITH A FACTORY RECALL. (HAD 73,918 MILES) 7/22/16- ECM SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. (HAD 83,354 MILES) 7/26/16- LOCKING SYSTEM NOW OUT. (HAD 83,400 MILES) THE CAR HAD 39K MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. IT NOW HAS 86K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN! AS SOON AS MY WARRANTY ENDS, I'M SCREWED! EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT, I'VE LOST POWER ON THE CAR. IT JUST DIES NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU ARE GOING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN MOTION. THE SECOND TIME I WAS STATIONARY THANKFULLY! I REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN'S AFFAIRS DEPT. AND GOT NO WHERE!

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VERSA IN 2012 I FELT HESITATION AND SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITHIN 2 YEARS OF THE PURCHASE I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW AT 85,000 MILES I AGAIN TOOK THE VERSA TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, BUT NOW WORSE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. WHILE IN MOTION THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES. SURGES, SLIPS, AND BUCKS.

THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO THE LEFT ARM AND RIGHT HAND THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 02/03/17*LJ *CN

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 83,300 MILES. NISSAN DEALERSHIP (CORONA) CHANGED OUT TRANSMISSION AND STATED NEW TRANSMISSION HAS A WARRANTY OF ONLY 12 MONTHS/12.000 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE THE COSTS OF MAINTAINING NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION SURPASSES BETTER/MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLES BY OTHER PRODUCED BY COMPANIES.

MY AIRBAG SIGNAL IS ALWAYS FLASHING. WHEN I WENT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY RESETTING, SO THEY THOUGHT IT'S A CONNECTION PROBLEM. BUT IT STARTED FLASHING SOON AFTER THEY RESETED, SO I SUSPECT IT'S NOT A CONNECTION PROBLEM. BESIDES, MY FRIEND ALSO HAS A NISSAN VERSA 2012 WITH AIRBAG SIGNAL FLASHING, BUT SHE HASN'T GONE TO DEALER BECAUSE IT'S EXPANSIVE TO REPLACE AN AIRBAG. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SOON. THANK YOU.

MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 65 NEAR WHITE HOUSE, TENNESSEE (AT NIGHT), AND THE RPM GAUGE PEGGED OUT; BUT HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD GO NO MORE THAN 3 OR 4 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISES. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 72,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000. THEY SAID SOME KIND OF SENSOR FAILED. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR SINCE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS FOR A VEHICLE SENSOR TO DISABLE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. I FEEL LIKE NISSAN SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR US EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH 63700 MILES. THIS CAR IS DANGERIOUS NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING HAS CAR TOWED TO THEM AND CALLED NISSAN CORPERATE AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING WHEN THERE CVT PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORECTED AND STILL FAILING ON THE NEW CARS. CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLED OF THE ROAD I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT KILLED THESE CARS ARE DANGERIOUS !!!

VEHICLE AFTER A PERIOD WOULD NOT MOVE! I PURCHASED A NISSAN VERSA BRAND NEW AND TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF IT. YET, THIS CAR HAS CVT TECHNOLOGY WHICH MEANS WHEN A-N-Y PART OF THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION!!! COST TO REPLACE: $4,200.00
