The transmission in this car is highly volatile and it's problems may lead to an on-road failure. the manufacturer is aware of this but they are not actively making a remedy available to prevent a potential accident. dealerships refuse to address the known manufacturing problem with a free safety check.
The transmissions are faulty. my original one broke at around 60k miles as i bought the car at 50k miles used. then the refurbished one that was sent to replace it had shrapnel inside of it. the third one was put in my vehicle as a brand new transmission and broke within a month, the belt that is submerged in fluid was burned up. then the fourth one was put in and within a year i am now getting this replaced again due to the same issue and this one was straight from nissan brand new. on to transmission number 5.....
Purchased the car in august 2019 at 125,000 miles. by october 2019, the cvt transmission went out and will cost $4,400 to replace by nissan. my 18yo niece was driving when the car failed to accelerate and it could've been detrimental or fatal for her. i looked it up and found there's an open class action lawsuit against nissan for knowingly installing defective transmissions in their versas. how could they do this? are they waiting to see how many people are killed or injured while driving defective cars? it's not right. the worst thing is that nissan's response to the suit is extending the warranty to 84,000 miles, which doesn't help me and many others in the same situation, instead of recalling and fixing the issue, which is what should be done! why punish people for mileage when the transmission was destined to fail from the beginning? this car is only 4 years old. it's ridiculous and wrong.
Transmission went out at 70012 miles.
I was going on to the highway and i was trying to go fast to move in to on going traffic and my car wouldn't move faster and started making this weird sound like a chugging noise along with a scrape sound every time i put my foot on the gas
When driving on i-65 south in columbia, tn, the vehicle lost power and would not go above 60 mph with the rpm revving to 5. this happened suddenly and without warning and almost caused an accident. thankfully the vehicle behind me was able to move over to the other lane.
I have a large lag when i hit the accelerator pedal and i have a fuel issue in the tank that i was to get a repair notice on. trouble filling the tank.
I started having issues with my transmission around 68,000 and transmission started to slip while driving anywhere high way , side street, and when i was taking it in the transmission kept dropping and became very dangerous to even get it to the dealer ship , had to replace whole transmission about $4000 to fix.
I bought this car with 36,00, thousand miles. after 20,000 miles i had enough. too many problems, ps light (indicating steering wheel problem) on the panel for no reason and nissan charged me for that. i changed the right axle, and now i'm going to have to change left axle for the same reason (no explanation from nissan, only that the part is not working properly and making noises). problem number three, last week my car started doing a loud noise, and today i discovered that i'm going to have to change all the catalytic system (almost a thousand dollars for that).
While driving my 2015 nissan versa note i noticed it started skipping/slipping when i proceed from a stop. within a couple of days the transmission started making a loud clunking, chattering and scraping noise. had vehicle towed to nissan of elk grove, miguel determined the problem was "transmission failure". miguel contacted nissan corporate a new transmission was approved! but they failed to extend the powetrain warranty. per miguel warranty stays the same at 60,000 and but "i can buy warranty coverage!". nissan is aware of major transmission problems and extending warranties for others to 120,000 and want my warranty extended to 120,000!!!! transmission could of went out on me anytime and caused serious injuries not to myself but to my family and/or strangers on the road!!!! and yet nissan failed to notified consumers about this issue!!!!!
I pulled into my driveway from a turn, probably going 5 mph, at a slight up grade, and my cvt transmission failed -- it stopped. the engine was on, running normal, but when i pressed the gas, floored it, even, there was zero response. no revving, nothing. i switch gears to low, then park, then reverse, then drive. still nothing. then after about a minute had passed since the initial failure, it started to rev a bit at low rpms, then finally kick in and drive me up my driveway. this occurred on the same drive in which the car was lurching, bucking, and shaking violently upon acceleration, particularly accelerating from a low speed to a high one quickly. this has been happening since one month after i bought it pre-owned and certified from enterprise car sales in elmwood nj. the power train is covered by both nissan and enterprise. but when i bring it in to the nissan dealership in rockland (blauvelt, ny), they want to charge me $138 for diagnostics that will probably show nothing. six weeks ago i brought it in for the exact same two problems, and it refused to misbehave for the mechanic, it threw no codes, and the engine light did not come on. i have a video posted to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=u&video_id=loojeczo89c. i showed the video to the dealership. they said it wasn't proof enough. so here i am with a supposedly good warranty (there are only 43,000 miles on the car) for a newly bought car, but i have no consumer protection because a mechanic supposedly can't find a problem. the warranty doesn't cover diagnostics. there are at least 2 class action suits in motion against nissan for their cvt transmissions. i have a call in to them, to ask them to take my car in to the deanship and actually fix the problem, replace the cvt if necessary. what if it dies again, and i'm on the train tracks? or on the freeway. it is not safe!
