Transmission Failure problems of the 2012 Nissan Versa

The transmission failed at only 112,000 miles while I was on the interstate at 65 mph.

My 2012 Versa, won't shift gears, stalls and even with the gas all the way down, it won't accelerate. Took it to Nissan rossen in milwaukee, WI. For a diagnostic, result: transmission failure, cost to replace it $4,200. 00. I see a lot of complaints for the same issue. Also if there is a recall for that why my VIN number is not included? Nissan should be liable for that issue and repair the affected cars. Note : my transmission went off at 53000 miles.

Transmission failed after only eight years with proper maintenance. I reversed out of my driveway and into the busy highway and when I put it in drive it would not move at all. I am very lucky that the oncoming traffic noticed I was having issues or I would certainly be dead. My mechanic said it is not worth it to replace the transmission because it will only fail again and again. I have been advised to get rid of the vehicle and purchase a new one, it seems Nissan's cvt transmissions have had a lot of issues that are widely known. It is unfortunate that Nissan is allowed to continue selling lemons. My very first car was a 1981 monte carlo and the transmission on that car never had to be replaced, I used that car until 2016 and the only reason I got rid of it was that the frame buckled if that car can go 35 years with no transmission problems, then there is absolutely no excuse for a 2012 transmission to fail in 8 years.

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.

Transmission failing without other mechanical cause. Unable to accelerate quickly without bucking and loud whining. Merging on to the highway very difficult- it takes long periods of time to build up speed. Only responds to very slow acceleration. Worse in cold weather- unable to go up a hill, rolled backward in drive with no response from gas pedal at all. Issue happening since first purchased in 2017. Frequently reported online by other drivers.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Versa. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. After the vehicle was restarted, it would jerk for approximately 30 minutes while driving and then return to normal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer (jeff wyler fairfield Cadillac kia Nissan, 5815 dixie hwy, fairfield, OH 45014, (513) 682-2500) where the contact was informed that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The contact declined to pay the fee for diagnostic testing; therefore, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 30914316. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed, but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Vct transmission failure, transmission will fail with no warning, this is a deadly flaw in the design of the transmission, hundreds complaints online attest to the number of transmission failures in dangerous situations. My transmission failed at a busy intersection on a major 4 lane road we were almost hit broadside at a high rate of speed the other driver swerved to miss us and I had to push the car out of traffic. This is a potential deadly condition. I was stopped at a stop sign waiting on traffic when traffic cleared I hit the accelerator the car hesitated and surged onto the highway and stopped in the traffic lane with 65/70 mph traffic coming at us. The first car swerved to the ditch side and missed us the rest of the traffic saw what happened and stopped and went around. This is a very common problem with the transmissions in Nissan vehicles especially with the vct transmission. This is a very dangerous even deadly problem that has plagued Nissan for several years, they have recalled several makes of Nissan for transmission problems but refuse to address the safety issue and refuse to correct the faulty transmission problem, this problem is potentially as bad as the pinto fires, how many people have died in a cvt Nissan that we do not know about my wife and I were just yards from death because of this transmission failure. This needs to be investigated and Nissan needs to be remedy the situation.

I had the 60,000 service done on this car at my local Nissan dealership on Dec 14, 2015. Part of that service involved inspecting the continuously variable transmission fluid. Apparently it was ok. Six days later my daughter was driving it to new orleans and it stopped in the middle of the interstate. Luckily, nobody was close behind her and she was able to drift it to the side of the highway. We had it towed to a new orleans area dealer and are being told that the transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $3900. We were also told that the car is out of warranty and Nissan would not help with the repair. This is a 4 year old car with 65,000 miles on it. A quick search of the internet shows several people also having transmission failures at about that same mileage. Several have had the car stop in the middle of the highway just like mine did.

I took the car for a recall on the transmission and two months latter the check engine light came on. The car when driving 60 mph will just decreases in speed until it stops the engine is running. I took it to the dealer ship and was told the speed sensor inside the transmission was bad. To fix the problem the transmission must be replaced. The car has 78, 987 miles on it, I was looking on line and found many complaints about the cvt transmission used by Nissan. Most complaints said after the dealer repaired the recall on the transmission it failed. What is the process of filing a class action law suit against Nissan motor corporation?.

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 1st and 3rd gear. 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 inspected that there was a cvt transmission failure and to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis and repair. The contact was also experiencing a failure in which the distance between the accelerator pedal and brake pedal was causing the contacts foot at times to be trapped between the two pedals and he had to maneuver his feet with the pedals to prevent a failure. The contact was not notified but was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v507000 (service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control) and was to schedule the recall repair with the dealer concerning the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced and the dealer was to further diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000. Dyd.

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 transmissions. I think this defect was the cause of our total transmission failure. I just hope that no one is killed when their transmission fails them in the middle of rush hour.

Transmission failed and needs to be replace. Nissan refuses to repair since the car is only 7000 miles outside the warranty. The 2007-2010 Versa had the same issues and warranty was extended to 120,000 miles its the same car same model and was told by Nissan that they are unable to cover repairs since I purchase the vehicle with a warranty at 60,000. When ask how long is the transmission suppose to last on 2012 Nissan Versa the answer was " I don't know thats a rhetorical question. " the Versas are experiencing the same issues and Nissan refuses to fix or pay to repair a defected car.
