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 ...
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 ...
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.
