Transmission is not changing gears like it is suppose to and stutters at stop signs and stop lights.
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.
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.
Just had vehicle checked today at cottman transmission. After they road tested and ran their analysis on the transmission, I was informed that my vehicle has Nissans �cvt� transmission and there is no fix for it other than a $4000 replacement. The transmission hesitates and will not switch gears properly. Took vehicle to the dealership on a couple of different occasions prior to taking it to cottmans and was told that there was no problem. There's a recall on the transmissions for the 2011 & 2012 Nissan Versa for the same issues I'm experiencing with the same transmission but does not include my vehicle according to my VIN number.
Shifter is very tight. Will not go into gear unless using two hands to pull the shifter down.
