I was driving on the freeway with my two kids on the far right lane when my car suddenly would not switch gears. in the past my car would jerk and i would push on the gas and it would not go anywhere.i looked this problem up on line and alot of people seem to have the same problem. i called nissan than they will not do anything about it they have told me the recall on the 2012 versa is closed. this was a very scary situation to be in. i do not feel safe in this car.
When sitting in heavy traffic at stop lights, my car would automatically turn off causing the need to restart the vehicle, to which point sometimes it would turn on and sometimes it wouldn't. there were also times the vehicle would stall or pull back while slowing down and speeding up in traffic. i visited midas to have the vehicle repaired and after diagnosis, they attempted to save the transmission by replacing the fluid. this attempt was not successful and they determined the transmission would need to be replaced. this is a fairly new car and should not have this issue. there is a transmission recall for a slightly different model of the nissan versa 2012, but not the nissan versa sl 2012. this should also be on the recall list.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 nissan versa. while the vehicle was at a stop, it shook and hesitated without warning. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 28,000.
The cvt transmission slips and gives uneven acceleration under all circumstances. this is extremely dangerous when merging into traffic or turning into oncoming traffic. this is a known issue to nissan na & many lawsuits have been filed over the years. the first transmission was replaced at 20,000 miles & another was just replaced at 85,000 miles. nissan knows that they are providing an inferior product, based on the # of lawsuits it has faced over the years concerning the cvt. not only is the product unreliable, it is also dangerous to the driver, the vehicle's occupants and anyone else who may affected by an accident caused by cvt failure.
I have a 2012 nissan versa and at 51,000 miles the transmission failed and will be upwards of $4,500 to repair. i went and got two options and both places said failed transmission and i went and saw pieces of it in the pan. i've had the car for a year and a half and bought it used.
I was driving down the highway and suddenly the car stopped accelerating. was able to pull over before it completely stopped. rpm kept spiking when the pedal was pressed and the engine had a revving sound, but no movement with the car. it could go in reverse, but not forward.
While accelerating the vehicle jerks as if it cannot find a gear, the rpms jump around and the acceleration is slowed dramatically. this happens whenever i accelerate but gets very bad when accelerating from a stop an or attempting to speed up to pass other vehicles.

The check engine light came on & the car slowed down on the interstate. i was driving from birmingham, al to acworth, ga. i was able to drive home without incident. but i had to replace the transmission on a 2012 nissan versa purchased new 8/6/2012. the check engine light came on & the car slowed down. the total cost of transmission $3,534.93. the versa had 70,619 miles. i had the transmission serviced on 2/23/18 at a total cost of $572.93 at 63,067 miles. no problems were noted at the time of service. because of the issues i experienced with the versa, due to no fault of my own, i feel i should be compensated for the cost of the repairs.
