TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE ON AN INCLINE AND RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON A ROADWAY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS BETWEEN FIRST AND THIRD GEARS. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE GEARS TO ENSURE THEY WERE CHANGED OVER. THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ALSO RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING A FAILURE IN WHICH THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS CAUSING HIS FOOT TO BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN THE TWO PEDALS. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER HIS FEET WITH THE PEDALS TO PREVENT A FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED, BUT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V507000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

TIRES OUT OF ROUND. TIRES CAUSE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE. GOODYEAR REPLACED BOTH TIRE UNDER WARRANT. TIRES WERE ONLY A MONTH OLD. PROBLEM WAS NOTICED IMMEDIATELY, THOUGHT IT WAS A BALANCE ISSUE. AFTER HAVING TIRES REBALANCED BY TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS THERE WAS STILL AN ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE GOODYEAR 800# THEY HELPED WITH REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY.

I OWNED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA AND WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON JULY 3 2015, RELATING TO THE RECALL ISSUED AUGUST 2015. THE ISSUE INVOLVED MY INABILITY TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM A COLLISION WHEN MY SHOELACE GOT CAUGHT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE INABILITY TO APPLY THE BRAKES CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO ENTER ON COMING TRAFFIC, AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RESULT WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF MY VEHICLE.

PRE OWNED VEHICLE HAS A FAILED TRANSMISSION SHIFT ASSEMBLY (POWER TRAIN) WHICH WAS NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY DURING THE RECALL REPAIR DONE PRIOR TO CURRENT OWNER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE.NISSAN NOW STATES THAT THE "CAMPAIGN IS CLOSED OUT AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE ON THIS" HOWEVER., THEY DID OFFER$250 FOR THE CONSUMERS" INCONVENIENCE." WHICH WAS STRANGE SINCE..WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IF IT IS NOT AN ISSUE?AND DID SAY THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN 5 YRS(60000) AND REFERRED ME TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS. ALSO STRANGE. AFTER READING YOUR WEBSITE, I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU AS THEY ARE NOW TECHNICALLY NON-COMPLIANT ON THIS GOVERNMENT RECALL AS THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE APPROPRIATE REPAIR. NISSAN IS TRYING TO "WRITE THIS OFF" AS A CLOSED CAMPAIGN AS THE SHIFT KNOB WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO CURRENT OWNER TAKING POSSESSION(2012); EVEN THOUGH A NEW INDEPENDENT DEALER , NOT INVOLVED IN ORIGINAL RECALL WORK;HAS RECENTLY STATED THAT CONSUMER SHOULD SEEK ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS RECALL FROM NISSAN AND THAT THE CAR ABSOLUTELY NEEDS THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT THE KNOB AND ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN( RECALL 12V032000)NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS ASSEMBLY (ESTIMATE ATTACHED)WHICH WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. AUTOMATIC SHIFTER IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GO INTO PARK. AND IS BEING PARKED IN NEUTRAL WHICH POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS VERY "SHADY" ABOUT TELLING ME "WHO I WAS SPEAKING WIT

I BOUGHT A 2012 NISSAN VERSA IN 2012 BRAND NEW. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF NISSANS RELIABILITY AND THE CAR GOT GREAT GAS MILEAGE. I HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE, BUT NOT AT THE DEALERSHIP. IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2015 WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON IT IT STARTED RANDOMLY JERKING WHEN DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAD WENT OUT AND IT WOULD COST ME $3,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THE VERSA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID THE FLUID SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT 60,000 MILES AND PROBABLY GOT TO HOT AND BROKE DOWN. THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. HERE ARE MY ISSUES: I WAS NEVER TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDS CHANGED EVERY 60,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS RUINED THAT IT SHOULD BE. I HAD THE CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP AT 63,000 FOR A RECALL AND NO ONE MENTIONED IT. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR 25 YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN PRIOR VEHICLES THE CAR NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I TOOK IT IN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS STARTED HAPPENING. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A KNOWN ISSUES AND IN 2010 THEY WERE COVERED BY A 6 YEAR 120,000 MILES WARRANTY MEANING SOMEONE WHO HAS A CAR 2 YEARS OLDER THAN MINE STILL HAS A WARRANTY. I DROVE THIS CARE EVERY MILE MYSELF AND I DROVE IT LIKE A 90 YEAR OLD MAN. IN THE END I HAD TO SPEND $4,004 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR. I MAD

UPON PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONTO BUSY HIGHWAY RPM NEEDLE GOES CRAZY WHEN SPEED REACHES 30 KPH AND WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR POWER IS LOSS. SCARED TO DRIVE CAR AND I AM A HOME HEALTH NURSE SO HAVE NO CHOICE. A SEMI SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME FROM BEHIND AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ROAD CAUSE I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL.

I BOUGHT A NEW NISSAN VERSA 2012 3 YEARS BACK. IT HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN I SHIFT FROM 'R" TO "D:. THE SES LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY WITH CODE P0705. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED SOFTWARE AND ADJUSTED RANGE SWITCH. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS A SHORT-CIRCUIT NEAR TAIL LIGHT. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS USED FOR NORMAL COMMUTE AND WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT. THE CAR SOMETIME JERKS/SKIDS EVEN IN NORMAL DRIVE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IT LOSES POWER DUE TO SHORT-CIRCUIT. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN, NORTH AMERICA AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT.

CAR MAX DEALER DIDN'T REALLY KNOW.I THINK HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE FINISH, I'M. IT SURE. IT WAS NOTHING ABOUT THE INSIDES OF THE CAR I JUST WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT ASAP. N/A AT NISSAN I JUST BOUGHT IT AT CAR MAX I SCHAUMBURG I DON'T KNOW I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU THEN GO GET IT FIXED AT NISSAN.

DRIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED-LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE PEOPLE BEHIND BE HONK-THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES.TOOK THE CAR IN AND WAS TOLD THE CAR STARTS IN HIGH GEAR. THEY TRIED TO ADJUST THE CVT A FEW TIMES, BUT THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

I WAS SLOWLY PARALLEL PARKING AND BACKING UP TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK. THEN, I WANTED TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO CUT THE WHEEL. BUT, I CONTINUED TO BACK UP. BEFORE I COULD EVEN THINK ABOUT WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING MY CAR HIT THE TREE AT THE EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK. AT FIRST, I CHALKED IT UP TO . . . A STRANGE/UNCHARACTERISTIC POOR PHYSICAL REACTION ON MY PART. HOWEVER, I HAVE ALWAYS FELT LIKE IT WAS A VERY STRANGE EVENT AND AT THE TIME THERE WAS A RISE OF PANIC AS I REALIZED MY FOOT WAS NOT GOING OVER TO THE BRAKE. SINCE IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY I COULD NEVER TEASE OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED BUT I HAVE FELT AS THOUGH MY FOOT WERE STUCK THERE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE IMPACT WITH THE TREE LOOSENED IT. (I THINK). NOW, I SEE RECALLS FOR OTHER NISSANS. THE VERY NIGHT OF THE ACCIDENT I ACTUALLY GOOGLED THE NISSAN GAS PEDAL . . . I WENT RIGHT TO MY VIN # AND CHECKED BUT MY NISSAN VERSA 2012 WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. HOWEVER, I SAW THAT LAST YEAR OTHER MODELS (2013+) DID HAVE PROBLEMS. I STILL HAD A WEIRD FEELING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH MY VERSION WAS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED. AND LAST WEEK WHEN I SAW THAT ON THE NEWS THAT 2012S WERE NOW ALSO BEING RECALLED I WENT BACK TO LOOK UP MY VIN # AND STILL NO MATCH. I THINK IT IS JUST WEIRD. AND, THE WHOLE THING HAPPENED IN 1 SEC. AND OVER A SPAN OF MAYBE 3? FEET . . . SO IT IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON. MY HEAD WAS TURNED BACKWARDS AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE TREE SO I CAN'T HONESTLY SAY I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW M

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THERE IS HESITATION BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD: SYSTEM: TRANSMISSION, PART NUMBER: 31036-3AA6B, DTC: P0740, DETAILED INFO: TORQUE CONVERTER

I WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 40 MPH. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A BIG SOUND LIKE 'BANG' FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, I CAN HEAR NOISE. LATER THAT DAY, I FOUND FRONT DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN.

SINCE THE CAR MADE NOISE WHEN I TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT, I WENT TO INDIVIDUAL REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK AND THEY FOUND OUT THE LEFT SUSPENSION SPRING WAS TOTALLY BROKEN INTO TWO PARTS. THERE IS NO INJURY OR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BREAK BUT IT WAS VERY GANGEROUS CONDITION IF I KEPT DRIVING.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY BLINKING...THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NON FUNCTIONAL...THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL ITEM BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED.... MEANS AIRBAG IS NON FUNCTIONAL..

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN OUR 2012 NISSAN VERSA. HE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY CUT OUT ON HIM. HE PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. HE PULLED THE CAR OFF AT THE CLOSEST EXIT. IT WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS EVALUATED. WE WERE NOTFIED THAT A TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT NISSAN TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. HOWEVER, IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PROVIDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE FIRST TRANSMISSION RELATED MAINTENANCE DOES NOT OCCUR UNTIL 60,000 WHEN THEY RECOMMEND CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO WAY OF VERIFYING THAT VEHICLE MAINTENANCE WAS COMPLETED BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I OFFERED TO PROVIDE OUR RECORDS OF MAINTENANCE FROM OUR PROVIDER BUT NISSAN WAS NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING THEM. I SPOKE TO THREE DIFFERENT NISSAN ASSIST REPRESENTATIVES. FINALLY, I WAS INFORMED BY THE LAST REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO WHICH I COULD PETITION MY CASE. IN SUMMARY, IF YOU HAVE A NISSAN VERSA YOU SHOULD EXPECT TO REPLACE YOUR ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS THREE YEARS OLD. IN THE PAST, NISSAN HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON VERSA MODEL YEARS 2003-2010 FOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I THINK A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT STILL EXISTS IN THEIR TRANS

PULLED INTO MY FRIENDS DRIVEWAY...THE CAR WAS RUNNING I BELIEVE IT WAS IN NUETRAL,AND PASSENGER EXITED VEHICLE, AND SLAMMED THE PASSENGER DOOR SHUT, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED...UPDATED 10/15/15 *BF UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS SUDDENLY STARTED FLASHING, WARNING ME THAT NEITHER THE DRIVERS OR PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. WILL THERE BE A RECALL?

I CLOSED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE AIR BAG FROM THE DOOR EXPLODED. JUST THAT EASILY.

OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WERE MADE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP MECHANICS AT VAN NUYS NISSAN OF ROUGH IDLE AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE OR RESOLVE ISSUE. REPLACEMENT OF MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CORRECTED CONDITION.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT I HEARD A LOUD METAL THUMP IN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL. THE NEXT DAY AT THE SERVICE SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BROKEN RIGHT FRONT SPRING THAT HAD COMPROMISED MY STRUT. THE WHOLE REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING ME $749. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DRIVE A 2012 VERSA WITH ONLY 56,753 MILES ON IT! THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS SPRING SHOULD HAVE BROKEN! I DIDN'T HIT ANY BUMPS OR POTHOLES, I WAS JUST PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND POPPED A TIRE OR SEVERED A BRAKE LINE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE SPRINGS THAT ARE BEING USED, NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING, INDICATING THAT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW OR A SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VERSA YEAR 2012 MODELS.

PURCHASED NEW FROM NISSAN DEALER. 35 MONTHS LATER, JUST AROUND 40,000 MILES, NOTICE JERKY MOVEMENTS FORWARD AND BACKWARDS AT FREEWAY AT APPROX 60MPH. TOOK TO DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND NOTHING FOUND. HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND AT LOWER SPEEDS TOO. RETURNED 8 WEEKS LATER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD REPLACED BY NEW ONE. 4 DAYS LATER CAR STARTED BUT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. HAD TO HAVE TOWED AND WAS TOLD THE NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING AGAIN. BOTH REPAIRS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CONCERNED THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND BE DANGEROUS ON FREEWAY OR BE RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY IS OVER AND BE COSTLY. READ LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVEN IN HARSH CONDITIONS OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SO VERY CONCERNING.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR JULY 2014 WITH ONLY 1,700 MILES. APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS INTO DRIVING IT, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING A "CLICK" SOUND WHEN I BRAKE, WHETHER I GO SLOW OR FAST AND BRAKE THE CLICK SOUND IS THERE. SOMETIMES I GET A DOUBLE "CLICK" SOUND BEFORE THE CAR STOPS. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN SO I HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO US. I CALLED THE DEALER AND LEFT MESSAGES BUT NO ONE IS GETTING BACK TO ME. I MUST BRING THIS CAR IN ASAP. I APPRECIATE ANY INPUT OR CALL BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE AT NHTSA.

BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, TURNING LEFT, THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) BROKE. THE NISSAN DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS. THERE IS AN NHTSA CASE OPEN (RECENTLY OPEN- CASE # PE 15-019) TO INVESTIGATE FRONT COIL SPRINGS BREAKING. THE NHTSA CASE STATES NISSAN VERSA MODEL YEARS 2008 TO 2010 ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION. MY NISSAN VERSA IS A 2012 MODEL YEAR/HATCH BACK. THE COIL SPRINGS BREAKING ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE 2008 TO 2010 MODEL YEARS. I'M LOCATED IN CANADA, JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS INFO WITH THE NHTSA. NISSAN CANADA TOOK ALMOST 10 WEEKS TO REPLACE THE COIL SPRINGS. THEY CITED A PARTS MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THEIR SUPPLIER IN JAPAN.

I STARTED MY CAR AND I HEARD A RATTLING SOUND. AS I WENT TO DRIVE THE SOUND GOT LOUDER AS I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I WENT TO NISSAN RIGHT AWAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY "RUSTED" MUFFLER. IT'S FROM THE SALT AND IT WILL BE $700 BUCKS. MY CAR IS A 2012, THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE FOR SALT RUST IN 3 YEARS. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA. I'D UNDERSTAND BETTER IF I STILL LIVED UP NORTH AND DEALT WITH SALT FROM THE ICE TRUCKS. I DON'T LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO TO A BEACH FOR SALT RUST!!! *TR

MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED, IT STUTTERS AND VIBRATES THEN JERKS. THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES THEN RPM HIT 7500 VERY UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I STOP AND GO. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE COULD NOT FIX IT. THIS IS ( BS ) CAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL I FEEL SOMETHING MOVING AND HEAR POPPING NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $4,500 FOR A 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

WAS STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN M FOOT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR TRIM BY THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND I ALMOST RUN THROUGH THE RED LIGHT BEFORE I COULD GET MY FOOT OUT TO BRAKE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, IF YOU STOP AT A TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, ONCE YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WILL NOT GO. ONCE IT DOES "CATCH", THE RPM'S HIT ABOUT 7000 OR 8000 AND WHEN YOU LET OFF THE PEDAL THE CAR JERKS HARD AND GOES INTO "LIMP MODE". IT DID THIS SEVENTEEN (17) TIMES AND 6 OF THEM WERE ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A CAR COMING UP BEHIND ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD IN TIME. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND TURN IT BACK ON TO GET IT TO MOVE AND EVEN THEN IT STAYED IN LIMP MODE SO I WAS STUCK IN FIRST (1ST) GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY UNTIL I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. COMING FROM AN AEMT, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED WITH NISSAN AND THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE FUEL PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON BANGERTER HIGHWAY IN SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH. FOR SOME REASON, THERE WAS A LATCH FAILURE ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THERE HAD BEEN NO WARNING, NO RATTLING OF THE HOOD, NO SHAKING ETC. THE HOOD SIMPLY FLEW UP AND SMASHED INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS LEFT ME (I WAS DRIVING) WITH NO FRONTAL VISION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY; BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW I DID THAT. THE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED (GLASS SHARDS ALL OVER US), THE HINGES ON THE HOOD BENT AND CAUSED A GASH IN THE FENDER ON EACH SIDE, THE HOOD WAS DENTED, AND THE TOP OF THE CAR NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS ALSO DENTED. I CAN NOT DETERMINE ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY WHICH WOULD HAVE SAVED ME THIS AWFUL SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WENT AIRBORNE AND FLIPPED OVER THREE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A SECOND VEHICLE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CRASHED INTO THE REAR BUMPER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO THE REAR OF A THIRD VEHICLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT DURING THE INCIDENT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE DRIVER SUFFERED A CONTUSION TO THE FOREHEAD AFTER MAKING CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL., BUT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,961.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING HOME FROM GROCERY STORE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO MEINEKE TO HAVE CODE DETERMINED. STORE MANAGER CHECKED MY CAR FOR CODE, HE FOUND CODE IS 007 AND IT WILL COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR. I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE AUTO UNTIL IT GETS REPAIRED. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH LOW MILEAGE AND AGE OF VEHICLE! HE SAID CAR WILL DISABLE IF I DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS IF IT DISABLES WHILE DRIVING! I HAVE DRS APPTS TO GO TO AND CANNOT BE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT! IS THIS A RECALL FOR THIS PART? IF I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AND I DIABLES, I WILL BE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HAVE AN 18 MONTH OLD BABY IN HER CAR SEAT IF I GET REAR ENDED, SHE COULD BE KILLED! *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT OF THE CAR. IT WOULD SLOW DOWN, I HAD TO STOP, TURN IT OFF, WAIT, TURN IT BACK ON, DRIVE A LITTLE BIT, REPEAT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR, THE KNOWN ISSUES AREN'T OUT YET BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN TIME ENOUGH TO GATHER ANY STATISTICS. THE DEALERSHIP NOR NISSAN CORPORATION WAS WILLING TO ASSIST US. WE PROVIDED SERVICE RECORDS AND THEY DEEMED THEM 'INSUFFICIENT' BECAUSE THE SERVICE WAS NOT PERFORMED THROUGH NISSAN. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT MANDATED THAT OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS BE COMPLETED AT THEIR SITE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE OIL PUT INTO THE CAR MIGHT NOT BE MADE FOR A NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE EVER HEARD OF AN OIL BEING MADE FOR A SPECIFIC BRAND OF CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T DUE TO BE SERVICED UNTIL BETWEEN 60,000 AND 70,000 MILES, AND WE HAD JUST TURNED 60,000 THE WEEK BEFORE. PLUS, ENGINE OIL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE. WE ARE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR. IF WE PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS, AND ADD TO WHAT WE STILL OWE, NOW THE CAR COSTS MORE THAN WHAT WE BOUGHT IT FOR BRAND NEW. I'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THESE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

2012 NISSAN VERSA SV 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OVER 65 MPH. RPM GAUGE WILL BOUNCE FROM 3000-4000 WHILE THE VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION SINCE 2007 AND NISSAN STILL HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL FINALLY BREAKDOWN. I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE FIXED AND NISSAN WILL OWN UP TO THE BAD WORKMANSHIP ON THE TRANSMISSION. I WILL CONTINUE TO POST AS THE TRANSMISSION GETS WORSE. THANK YOU! *TR
