2012 Nissan Versa complaints

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION, MAKING A LEFT TURN, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE AND BACKED IT UP INTO A PARKING LOT

SHIFTER IS VERY TIGHT. WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR UNLESS USING TWO HANDS TO PULL THE SHIFTER DOWN.

WHEN I WAS BUYING THIS CAR FROM MCCULSKEY USED I QUESTIONED THE TRANSMISSION. ASKED THAT THEY PUT THIS IN WRITING. THEY REFUSED AND STATED THAT IT WAS FINE. THE TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME WAS A DEAD SPOT WHERE TRANS DID NOT SHIFT. AS TIME HAS PASSED, THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE UNTIL I COULD NOT TAKE IT. THE TRANSMISSION AT 25 MPH AND 45 MPH WENT IN TO SEIZURES. ALMOST LIKE A NEW DRIVER OF A STANDARD SHIFT. THEN THE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE. BECAUSE THEY WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE. HOW EVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE POWER PROBLEM. NO RECALLS AVAILABLE. WHILE RESEARCHING MY CAR I FOUND THAT 2007-2010 TRANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SPOKE TO NISSAN COMPANY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. RECENTLY THE PS LIGHT IS COMING ON. THE POWER STEARING IS OUT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THE POWER STEARING WORKS UNTIL THE LIGHT RETURNS. THE CAR IS NOW ALMOST NOT ABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANS. I ONLY HAVE 84,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS ONLY. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP.

JUNE 4, 2016, WHILE DRIVING ALONG 118 E FREEWAY I AM SEEING THAT MY RPM IS GOING UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR IS JERKING SPEED. I MERGED TO 405 S IN ABOUT 5 MINS. I WAS GETTING OFF 405 S FREEWAY FROM RAMP. THEN TRAVELLING NORTH ALONG HASKELL AVE, MY 2012 NISSAN VERSA JUST STOPPED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN TRANSMISSION. ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME JUST STOPPED. I SLOWLY EASED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THINKING THAT I'M DONE. AFTER SITTING FOR 2 MINUTES I TRIED TURNING IT ON AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE TO PICK UP MY SON WAITING AT LAX FLYWAWAY ALONG GLORIA STREET. MYSTERIOUSLY THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. I PICKED UP MY SON AND DROVE SLOWLY TO SIMI VALLEY CA STILL WITH MY RPM GOING UP AND DOWN AT TIMES. WE ARRIVED AT HOME IN SIMI VALLEY, CA OK. WE STOPPED USING THE CAR FOR A WEEK UNTIL I HAVE IT CHECKED BY NISSAN DEALER ON JUNE 14, 2016. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG UPON TESTING. I HAD THEM SERVICE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER 06/15/2016. ON 6/20/2016, WHILE DRIVING TO CHURCH, WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION STALLED. SAME AS BEFORE, RPM AT 0 AND WE HAVE STOP THE CAR AND SLOWLY PUSHED THE PEDAL AGAIN AND IT ENGAGED UNTIL WE PARKED AT THE PARKING LOT. COMING HOME FROM CHURCH, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM. MY WIFE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM THE DAY BEFORE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN KNOWS THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BECAUSE OF SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM CAR OWNERS. SEE THIS LINK: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSA

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 18 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 25K I WAS DOING A FLUID CHECK ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STUTTER WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN I NOTICED THE MY COOLANT RESERVOIR TANK WAS BONE DRY. I FOUND SOME COOLANT IN MY GARAGE AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED IT TO THE RESERVOIR TO GET IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION. THE SERVICE TECH LOOKED AT THE CAR AND KEPT SAYING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT I ADDED SOME TO GET IT THERE. THEY FINALLY TOOK MY CAR BACK AND HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS. WHEN I CAME DOWN TO PICK IT UP THAT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY PRESSURE TESTED THE COOLING SYSTEM AND FOUND NO LEEKS AND TOLD ME I WAS IMAGING THING AS FAR AS THE STUTTER WITH MY TRANNY. AT APPROXIMATELY 32K AGAIN I WAS LOW (1/4 FULL) ON COOLANT AND THE STUTTER STILLED HAPPENED INTERMITTINGLY. AGAIN I TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AT APPROX. 38K THE STUTTERING HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THERE WOULD BE TIMES THAT ID PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TRANNY ONLY THIS TIME. AND THEY TOLD ME WITH OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE ALMO

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING SNAPPED IMPACTING THE TIRE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SWERVE OVER A MEDIAN SUSTAINING MAJOR DAMAGES TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND BODY OF THE VEHICLE. RECALL # 15V573000

MY CAR HAS BEEN ACTING LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT WHEN I ACCELERATE ON A HILL. IT JERKS AND THE RPMS SPIKE UP AND DOWN BUT NO INCREASE IN SPEED. MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT THIS IS AN ACCELERATOR CABLE ISSUE AND THAT PART IS OVER $700. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY 2012 VERSAS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, SOME HAVE EVEN STALLED WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I TRIED TO PULL OUT AT A RED LIGHT AND EVEN THOUGH I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR DID NOT MOVE, THE RPMS DID NOT CHANGE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. A DAY LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN VERSA WITH A SHIFT KNOP PROBLEM I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS IT HAS A RECALL ON THIS. I CALLED THE CORP OFFICE TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL AND SHE SAYS THAT MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS FROM THE SAME PART MAKER IN THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO WHY CANT THEY FIX MY CAR

THE SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS MOBILE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,811.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT I PURCHASED A NISSAN VERSA ON APRIL 5, 2015. THE NIGHT I DROVE IT HOME I NOTICED A FEW PROBLEMS: FIRST: THE SEAT BELT LIGHT STAYS ON UNLESS BOTH FRONT SEATS ARE BUCKLED EVEN IF THE DRIVE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSE FOR THE VEHICLE TO NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AND THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM IS TELLING ME THEY TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THIS IS PROPER FUNCTION FOR THE NISSAN VERSA. THE MECHANIC FROM THE INSPECTION STATION AND I EACH CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AND EACH OF THE DEALERSHIPS WE SPOKE WITH SAID THIS IS IN FACT INCORRECT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. SECOND: THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING OR SHIFTING (ATLEAST THAT IS HOW I DESCRIBED IT). I TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND RPM'S MOVED WAY UP BUT THE CAR HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD ONCE IT STARTED TO MOVE I HAD TO PUT ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS TOO CLOSE. I DROVE IT TO WEST VIRGINIA WITH MY YOUNG SONS IN TOW AND IT COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE THE LONGER WE WERE ON THE ROAD OR ON AN INCLINE. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 70 AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHEN THERE WAS AN INCLINE (WE WERE IN THE MOUNTAINS) THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP TO 4,000- 4,500 BUT THE CAR WOULD STAY AT 60 MPH AND LOSE SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND WAS VERY CONDESCENDING LETTING ME KNOW THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. THEY WILL NOT EVEN FIX THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT EVEN THOUGH I CAN NOT GET M

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND IT BEGAN TO JERK AND THEN TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. LUCKILY I HAD MY BROTHER WITH ME TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WAS WAITING AND I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE IT TURNED BACK ON AND DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY THEN I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL AND NO ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON OR NOTHING BUT LATER ON IN THE WEEK I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THEY SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE 45MIN UNTIL SOMEONE CAME SO I WAITED AND THEN LIKE 10MINUTES AFTER I TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND IT TURNED ON LIKE NORMAL...SO THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND ALSO MY ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND ON

TAMARA RECALL. COIL SPRING MAY CORRODE AND MAKE CAUSE RUSH CRASH.

I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION I INADVERTENTLY BUMPED INTO MY GEAR SHIFTER HANDLE AND MY CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITHOUT THE BREAK BEING DEPRESSED OR APPLIED. I ALMOST HAD AN CAR CRASH/ACCIDENT WITH THE PERSON DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. IN MARCH OF 2016 I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. MY CAR HAS APRROXAMETLY 57,470 MILES AS OF 03/30/2016 AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON ANY NISSAN OR NHSTA CAMPAIGN RECALL LISTS. THE REFERENCED NHSTA CAMPAIGN RECALL ID NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE ISSUE IS ID: 12V032000 VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2012 VERSA SEDAN SHIFT SELECTOR CAMPAIGN ID: PM253 APPLIED VEHICLES 2012 VERSA(N17) APPLIED TRANSMISSION CVT

OUR VERSA WILL NOT ACCELERATE, AT RANDOM INTERVALS, WHEN WE ARE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN MORTOR COMPANY NORTH AMERICA, THEY ACKOWLEDGED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT ONE OR MORE PARTS USED IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION WERE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. YET, THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE, REPAIR, OR EVEN ASSIST WITH REPAIRING OUR VERSA. I AM AFRAID THAT WE MAY ONE DAY BE HIT FROM BEHIND AS WE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS ACTUALLY ALMOST OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

HESITATION GOING UP ANY INCLINE. JUST STARTED WHEN IT HIT 60000. WARRANTY ONLY FOR 50000. LOOKS LIKE NISSAN BUILT IT TO JUST GET BY THEN OVER 50000 YOU ARE OUT BIG TIME. MY BIG ISSUE IS I HAD TO TRADE CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER WHO DROVE THIS. ALMOST HAD 2 ACCIDENTS IN A WEEK BECAUSE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FOR SAFETY ISSUES. ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND OVER HEATS. TOOK IT TO 3 TRANSMISSION SHOPS ALL 3 SAY IT UNREPAIRABLE.WAS ALSO TO CVT TRANSMISSION WILL BE DISCONTINUED AND THEY ALL IN TIME WILL OVER HEAT AND CHEAPLY MADE AND A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT BUT A CVT IS A DEFECT AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NO ERRORS WAS CAUSED BY ME AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD HAVE CONTACT NESSIN AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON-LINE

THE EXTERIOR SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE MOST VEHICLES INCLUDING LARGE SUV'S ETC, IN THE LANES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS MAKES CHANGING LANES VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE NEARLY COLLIDED WITH VEHICLES ALONGSIDE ME A NUMBER OF TIMES TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. THIS WILL BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM UNTIL THE MIRRORS ARE REPLACED OR I REPLACE THE CAR WITH ANOTHER BRAND.THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHILE ALL CARS HAVE BLIND SPOTS, THE BLIND SPOTS FOR THIS CAR ARE ESPECIALLY SEVERE AND DANGEROUS DUE TO THE EXTERIOR SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS BEING TOO SMALL FOR VEHICLES TO BE SEEN IN. NISSAN IS SOMEWHAT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FOR THE 2015 MODEL YEAR, NISSAN HAS ENLARGED THESE EXTERIOR SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS SO THAT VEHICLES IN LANES ALONGSIDE THE VERSA CAN NOW BE MORE EASILY BE SEEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THE 2012-2014 VERSAS AND REPLACE THE EXISTING REVIEW EXTERIOR MIRRORS WITH THE LARGER MIRRORS THAT ARE NOW ON THE 2015-2016 VERSAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE RPM GAUGE INCREASED ABNORMALLY TO APPROXIMATELY 4,000-5,000 AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. IN ADDITION, WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE RPM GAUGE INCREASED TO 4,000 BEFORE THE VEHICLE BECAME OPERABLE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,670.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED BETWEEN SHIFTING AND THE ENGINE RPMS REVVED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT GEARS VIOLENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

MOTHER IN LAW WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND AIR BAGS FAILED TO INFLATE POLICE REPORT FILED BROWNSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 16023840.

DRIVING ON I-5 NORTH OF SAN DIEGO AND CAR WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE, RPM GOING INTO RED BUT NO ACCELERATION. CAR SLOWED TO 40'S THEN 30'S THEN STOPPED ALTOGETHER. HAD TO BE TOWED. CLEARLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. I GAVE THIS CAR TO MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND RELIABLE.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, IT CAN ONLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WAS SIMPLY PARKED AND TRYING TO EXIT MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY, AND I HAD TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE HANDLE TO BREAK, AND THERE WAS NO UNUSUAL WEAR & TEAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE HANDLE TO BREAK. WE OPENED THE DOOR PANEL TO SEE IF WE COULD FIND OUT WHY THE HANDLE WASN'T WORKING. WE DISCOVERED THE CORD THAT CONNECTS TO THE HANDLE IS BROKEN. CONSIDERING I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING UNUSUAL WITH MY DOOR HANDLE, I FEEL THAT THIS CORD IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.

CRACKED HEAT SHIELD BELOW CENTER CONSOLE, UNDERNEATH THE CAR PER NISSAN REPAIRMAN! I NOTICED THAT WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS THAT I WOULD A RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA, AND I COULD FEEL COOL AIR ALSO IN THAT AREA!

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLES WOULD NOT MOVE. YOU PRESS THE PEDAL AND IT DOES NOT THROTTLE UP OR MOVE AT ALL LEAVING US EXPOSED TO TRAFFIC. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 1 HOUR WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BUT THEN THE RPM BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 2000 AND 4000 RPM AND YOU COULD FEEL THE VEHICLE SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT OF THE THROTTLE. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SO WE TOOK IT TO A SHOP. THE DIAGNOSED THIS AS A BAD TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY STATED WAS COMMON ON FOR THIS TYPE OF CVT TRANSMISSION. I REVIEWED THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NISSAN CVT BUILT BY JATCO AND QUALITY ISSUES EXIST. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THE 2010 MODELS WHEN THE 2012 THROUGH 2015 MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND FAILURES POTENTIALLY LEAVING YOU STRANDED OR WORSE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ABOUT TO GET WHACKED BY A SEMI. NISSAN REFUSED TO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE STATING THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT LOGIC IS MR. GHOSN, CEO NNA, STATE IN DECEMBER 2013 THAT JATCO HAD SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THEIR QUALITY OF PRODUCT. A PRODUCT THAT CAN LEAVE YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN IN A BAD WAY TRYING TO NAVIGATE TRAFFIC. SO MY POINT TO ALL OF THIS, NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION BUT REFUSE TO MAKE IT RIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MADE THREE ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.

12/18/2015 DRIVING THE 2012 NISSAN VERSA SV ON I-380 TO US 101 DURING TRAFFIC HOURS. THE CAR IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE CAR WAS GOING UPHILL, STEPPED ON GAS PEDAL, THE RPM WILL NO GOES UP NEITHER THE CAR MOVE. THE RPM WILL GOES UP IN P OR N ONLY. AUTO SHOP TOLD ME, WHEN TRANSMISSION GETS HOT. IT WILL BE NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. REALLY HAPPENED TO THE CAR ON THE INCIDENT DAY, THE CAR SHIFT SLOW AND VIBRATE A A LOT. AT HIGHER SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON OR STABLE SPEED THE RPM WILL GOES FROM 2000-5000 UP AND DOWN THERE IS NO ANY CHECK LIGHT ON THE CAR. IT WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

I BOUGHT THE 2012 VERSA NEW AND NOW THAT IT HAS AROUND 70000 THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I TOOK ME VERSA IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A OIL CHANGE AND NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR STARTED TO DIE WHEN FIRST START AND WHEN YOU DO GET UP AND GO IT IS NOT SMOOTH. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION (TRANSAXLE) IS GOING OUT. $3800 QUOTE AND I JUST BOUGHT IT IN JULY OF 2012. OIL CHANGE 1/19/2016. TOLD TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ON 2/5/2016.

"FUEL PUMP" SECOND FUEL PUMP IN JUST OVER 3 YEARS. SECOND ONE AT MY EXPENSE. REALLY?

THE CAR JERKS , BUCKS, SPEEDS UP REALLY FAST, STOP OUT OF NO WHERE, SCRUB THE GROUND ONCE YOU PUSH ON BREAK THEN IMMEDIATELY JOLTS OUT OF NO WHERE, AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHEN PUSHING ON GAS IT GOES BACK INSTEAD OF FORWARD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS DISTRACTED AND SWERVED TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I PULLED UP TO A PUMP AT A GAS STATION, GOT OUT AND WENT IN THE STORE TO GET A DRINK. CAME BACK OUT AND MY CAR HAD LOCKED UP. THE STEERING AND BRAKES WERE BOTH LOCKED. THANK GOD I WASN'T IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT THERE BEFORE TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. IT CRANKS BUT NEVER TURNS OVER. THERE IS A BATTERY LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, PS LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT ON THE DASH. I RESEARCHED IT AND EVERYTHING INDICATED A BAD ALTERNATOR. I BOUGHT A NISSAN ALTERNATOR AND PUT IT ON. STILL NEVER TURNED OVER. THE FUEL PUMP RUNS AND I PUT SOME STARTING FLUID INTO THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT STARTED BUT DIED AFTER A FIVE SECONDS. EVERY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ITS MY ONLY CAR, I'M FLAT BROKE AND I AM WALKING 2 HOURS TO WORK EVERY DAY SO I DON'T LOSE MY JOB. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.

CVT BELT SLIPPING CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. CAR HAS 66852 MILES ON IT JUST 6852 MILES OVER WARRANTY AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. DID RESEARCH AND THIS PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUSLY OCCURS WITH NISSAN VERSASO ANDNISSA REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE

TRANSMISSION RECALL BUT NOTHING SENT TO TELL US TELLING US THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. WE WERE TOLD IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CALL THEM. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE CAR JUST STOPPED GOING FORWARD AND STARTED TO COAST TO A STOP. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING TAIL ENDED AND POSSIBLY KILLED. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD ALL WAS OK BUT WHEN LEAVING IT WAS APPARENT THE PROBLEM STILL WAS THERE AFTER WE DROVE SOME DISTANCE. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD COST 4200 TO REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THERE WERE TO MANY MILES ON THE CAR. TRADED THE CAR IN AT AN ENTERPRISE AFTER TELLING THEM ABOUT OUR TROUBLE; THEY LOOKED UP THE VIN # AND SAID IT WASN'T REPAIRED AS THE RECALL REQUIRED. LOST A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT WAS MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A DEADLY ACCIDENT.

I GOT IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO THE STORE. WHEN I TRYED TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, THE ENGINE WINED BUT IT DID NOT INGAGE THE TRANS. I WAS AT A STOP IN A PARKING LOT THANK GOD, BUT WE JUST DROVE BACK FROM A LONG TRIP YESTERDAY. THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

SALESMAN/DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REPORT WHEN REQUESTED. WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. 1) VEHICLE ROLLS BACK AFTER IT IS PUT IN PARK. MAY HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUS RECALL. 2) WHEN PUTTING CAR IN GEAR, CAN FEEL TUGGING IN THE FLOOR BOARD OF DRIVER SIDE. CALLED RECALL.GOV AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE 4 RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE IN WHICH 2 HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE FOR 12/31 TO RECTIFY THOSE ISSUES.

NISSA VESA WAS SOLD AS TIIDA LIBERIA, COSTA RICA DOLLAR RENTAL CAR FLEET).

I TOOK THE CAR FOR A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND TWO MONTHS LATTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH WILL JUST DECREASES IN SPEED UNTIL IT STOPS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SPEED SENSOR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 78, 987 MILES ON IT, I WAS LOOKING ON LINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION USED BY NISSAN. MOST COMPLAINTS SAID AFTER THE DEALER REPAIRED THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION IT FAILED. WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF FILING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION?

I HAD THE 60,000 SERVICE DONE ON THIS CAR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON DEC 14, 2015. PART OF THAT SERVICE INVOLVED INSPECTING THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FLUID. APPARENTLY IT WAS OK. SIX DAYS LATER MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT TO NEW ORLEANS AND IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS CLOSE BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIFT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A NEW ORLEANS AREA DEALER AND ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3900. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. THIS IS A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE ALSO HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT ABOUT THAT SAME MILEAGE. SEVERAL HAVE HAD THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST LIKE MINE DID.

CAR SQUEAKES WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROAD. HAVE ALREADY HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 4 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE MASS AIR FLOW. MY CAR HAS ONLY 57,340 MILES ON IT. WHEN THEIR WAS RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, MY CAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT, ENDED UP HAVING TO BE REPLACED.???????

MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 56,000 MILES ON IT AND SINCE HAVING THIS CAR I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR OF THE MASS AIR FLOW AND RELATED COMPONENTS ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD 1 CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND KNOWS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE SUSPENSION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SAME ISSUES WHICH IS SASID TO BE THE SPRING COILS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES WITH A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN NEEDS TO OFFER EVERY CUSTOMERS THAT OWNS THIS CAR A REPLACEMENT CAR.SERIOUSLY!!! NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER RECALLS THAT NEVER GET ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR VIN BUT, STILL HAS THE ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GO UPHILL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE.
