I was driving up a hill in ventura when the car lost power and started to roll backwards. prior to that the car would jerk like it would go into gear and would hesitate. finally the car would go forward and i had to stop at vons for the car to be towed. i was 58 miles from home. it was really scary but i was fortunate there were no other cars behind me and the car did not run off the ledge.
Problems with transmission. rpm go very high and it won't switch gears, then after struggling it will switch gear but jerk the car very hard and you can hear it switch very hard. it does does in the street and highway. makes me very concerned about getting on a highway and my transmission failing to switch to higher gears and other cars hitting me for not being able to go into faster speeds. the vehicle is not even at the 50k miles yet.
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.
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.
Vehicle hesitates and cuts off while driving. check engine light is on and says there's a transmission issue
The cvt transmission has been known since 2004 to have major problems. the car needs a new transmission it has been slipping when driving and it wont down shift when you get going. nissan has many lawsuits against them but they wont help me at all.
Car transmission made complete stop and not allow me to move several times
Problems accelerating, losing power, sputtering stalling out, jerking when shifting gears, loud clank when putting in drive.
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.
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.
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.
Vehicle is tugging and misfiring. vehicle does not accelerate efficiently from a start position or while driving and when reaching around 20 mph the rpm's increase and do not come down. i need to switch the car to neutral for it to switch gears. but then at around 50-60 mph the rpm's do not drop and the car starts tugging and misfiring. this happens while driving in the city and becomes worse when driving in highways or freeways.
When put in park and key out of ignition the car will not shut off. the car continues to run for hours. it will eventually run out of gas and hopefully shut off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. while driving 75 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated. when the vehicle was turned off, it failed to restart; however, the electrical system was still operable. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the transmission failed. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 75,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to drive and the malfunction indicator lamp warning indicator illuminated. in addition, the gear shifter failed to shift gears. the vehicle was taken to autonation nissan pembroke pines (located at 8890 pines blvd, pembroke pines, fl 33024, (954) 949-0421) where it was diagnosed, but the contact was not aware of the results. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. while driving 60 mph, the vehicle began to shake and stalled without warning. the driver coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. the vehicle was restarted, but failed to drive. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and was later taken to carmax (located at 6100 auto center dr, buena park, ca 90621, (714) 523-2667). the dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was in the process of being repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 34146914. the approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
Engine stalls not shifting properly. stuck in gears.
Cvt not shifting into lower gear at high rpms.
My husband and i were driving home after buying groceries, we were in a very busy street, when the car stopped accelerating. this was very dangerous since there was people behind us and next to us. it was hard to move to pull over. finally we learned our transmission (cvt) was broken. this will cost us almost as much as we paid for the car. all this happened as we reached 65,000 miles. and conveniently enough, the warranty only covers up to 60,000.
Transmission went out with only 67,000 miles on the car. could have caused a very serious problem if i was driving on the expressway. if nissan is knowingly selling cars with defective or substandard components should not be allowed.
My transmission is slipping and causing the car to stall in traffic and not going into gear. this is a known issue with nissan's cvtransmissions
Bought the 2014 nissan versa in 2013. took good care of it. had 72,000 miles on it and the transmission went in early sept. 2018. many of the miles were small trip highway miles, not even city miles. nissan did not do anything to help. rather than put the $3,880.00 into it i traded it in. i expected it to last another 5 years and feel nissan screwed me, and from what i am now hearing, a lot of other people too.
Transmission problem: i bought the car brand new for my daughter july 2013. last year it started having problems shifting gears. this year the problem got worse. we received a recall card in the mail stating to bring it in to the nearest dealership because of the transmission. the recall was only for reprogramming the computer. after bringing it in, the car shut down on her as she was driving home. i'm thankful we live in a small town. i called nissan's corporate office to complain. a representative named patrick (615) 725-7359 was assigned my complaint.. he said there was nothing he could do because the warranty had expired. i still have a year left to pay for the car. nissan dealership charged $2990 to fix the car. i have read so many complaints about the transmission in these cars and safety hazards. nothing is being done!!
2014 nissan versa cvt transmission...we bought this car brand new from the dealer has been nothing but a pain transmission blew out at 70 thousand miles. i had it serviced at 60 thousand for all fluids and filters dealer told me it was in great condition i was mid way home from dropping my niece off home and the versa started slipping gears and shuddering i almost caused a 5 car accident if i hadn't pulled out the way of the car behind me. imagine if i had my niece in the car what could have happened if we did crash because of the problem and nissan will not take any responsibility for the problem. they want 3800.00 to fix it. i am one of thousands of victims of nissan not recalling there cars knowing they put out a horrible and dangerous product out on the roads.
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.
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.
The transmission it started making like whistling noises itslugis wasn't picking up speed it staled itself off it barley moves my cat transmission is defective
I recieved the car with a damaged heat shield. i was told that it was fixed yet continued to have problems with it. lately i have had axel seal leak issues as well as transmission slippage when accelerating.
I purchased a 2014 nissan versa in 2016 and two years later, the transmission is shot. the dealer confirmed it was the transmission.
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.
Bought this versa brand new in 2014. had cvt recall work done in 2016. shortly after work was completed, vehicle started to experience extreme shuddering after a complete stop and during take off. vehicle shifts from gear to gear hard and with a jerk. it will barely accelerate after a stop. took to mechanic to have transmission flushed, hoping this would help and was notified that there were transmission issues that a flush would not help. taking to a nissan mechanic for a diagnostic. 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.
I went to pick up my daughter from daycare on day in december 2017. i stopped at a stoplight and when it turned green i went to accelerate and my car would barely creep, i barely made it through a turn light and close to getting hit. i could barely get up to 15mph. 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. i ended up having the car towed because it wasnt fixed! then they put in a new one finally at no charge and it was fine. took 4 times!! two weeks later and it starts burning a gas/rotten egg sulfur smell. then i finally notice oil leaking out from under my car. from what i was told i have a blown head gasket!!! i am angry to say the least!!1 i spent all my savings and now have to find a way to get a new car and i doubt i can pay to fix this problem!!!
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. while driving on several occasions, the engine stalled and lost power. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to hayward nissan (24644 mission blvd, hayward, ca 94544 (510) 372-2800) where no diagnostic failure codes were found and the failure could not be replicated. the vehicle was taken to autocom nissan of concord (1290 concord ave, concord, ca 94520 (925) 275-5634) where it was diagnosed that the cvt transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. the approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
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.
Cvt slips, throttles, make clunking noise.
I am a current customer of a dealership in gainesville, florida. i have bought at least 2 brand new nissan vehicles from them . i was planning to buy another nissan now that i just retired. however with this experience i am going to look somewhere for my new vehicle other than a nissan. this nissan versa note i bought it in november 2013. i never had any problems with any brand car makes before 5 years after purchase. the dealership wants to "fix" the cvt problem at $ 4000.00! everyone is aware of the cvt programming problem with this model. even nissan issued a service bulletin to try to fix it.! at no avail. my advice, stay away from nissan vehicles!.
When accelerating from a stop my car will shutter and almost stall. this is especially unnerving when turning left. this happens almost every time. another issue i've had, is my car starts moving while at a stop light and my foot is fully on the brake.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was able to restart, but was not accelerating. the vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing where it was determined that the power train failed. the failure mileage was 107,149.
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.
Brake failure today while driving. when i pressed the brake, the pedal went all the way down to the floor. the car didn't respond. thank god i was coming out of a parking lot and not on the busy highway when this happened or it could have been a fatal situation. also experiencing cvt judders and vibrations constantly. transmission feels like its struggling and will die soon. i only have 39000 miles on the car.
My 2014 nissan versa s will not exceed 23 miles per hour. it happened first on 12/26/15 and i had it towed to a nissan dealership. they called several hours later saying the car was fine and was unable to find a problem. today it happened again 12/28/15 i was leaving a from a doctor appointment and once again the vehicle would not go faster than 23mph. i drove the vehicle about 3 miles into the nearest nissan dealership and had them drive it so they could see what i meant. they did drive it and said they will give me a loaner car and would diagnose more tomorrow. this is a safety hazard for sure,.
Car started acting up about two weeks ago had the car for a year and a half now when i drive it accelerates very slowly and when i brake it makes this rumbling noise when the car is turned on as well there is a clicking sound that is very loud when i accelerate also and turn on the engine had the car checked twice by two different mechanical places and they test drove on both occasions and they said its coming from the transmission stated i should take it to nissan to get it looked at feel it's to short of a time for the transmission to be acting up if that because the car has been maintained with oil changes and has the proper maintenance since purchased
Shifting from low to overdrive loses power dramatically. takata recall my versa is in motion on surface streets and highway travel! it feels as if my transmission is going to drop on the ground. serios vibrations throughout the entire vehicle and extreme deceleration!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. the contact stated that the gears slipped on several occasions. the contact also stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was able to restart. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to replicate the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v507000 (service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). the contact mentioned that the recall remedy repair was schedule for mid october of 2015. the failure mileage was not available.
Started the versa after being parked for at least 30 minutes and was exiting a shopping center. exit requires driving up a significant incline to access busy three lane road. at the crest of the hill, during pause waiting for access point to enter traffic, versa would not move even with excellerator depressed. tried several times and versa instead rolled backwards, gaining momentum while going down hill backwards. brakes failed, pressed all the way to the floor and would not stop car until a curb was hit. later, exiting the same location and crossed in 2 lanes, the versa running but the transmission would not move the car. zero rpms. car stopped dead in its tracks and would not move even shifting gears trying anything and everything to get out of the oncoming traffic. after several attempts to move the car, the versa died. versa then would not start and only made 'clicking noises'. five people in the car all at risk during this serious drivability concern. once able to restart the car, the trans and engine sinked and versa then drivable. exited the roadway. drove the vehicle in less populated area to the dealership. this all following a complaint to the dealer in may that the transmission was making unusal noises which they claimed was normal for the 2014 cvt.
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
I purchased this car brand new and have been unsatisfied ever since. the car seems to have a transmission problem. the transmission is loud and seems to lag when i'm attempting to accelerate. even at low speeds, it's loud. i also smell coolant on a regular basis and the car shifter makes a loud clunking sound when reversing whether i'm on a flat surface or in the drive way. this is not characteristic of a "brand new" vehicle and it needs to be looked into and recalled. *tr
I had an accident on 4/8 in the parking lot of my job and a truck slammed into my passenger side and no air bag deployed. she had accelerated due to a manual transmission in her truck. the estimates for body work was 28.92, 500.00 and 5, 658.32 more than half totaled i have problems with the car, the brakes, idiot light, steering and acceleration and jumps as you back out. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. the contact stated that while turning at various speeds, the vehicle lost acceleration power. the vehicle was taken to the dealer but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 560. updated 06/10/14 ma the consumer stated there was a hesitation when accelerating from a stopped position or when slowly accelerating. updated 07/23/14
