At approximately 130k miles the cvt transmission had a sudden failure. Struggles to shift gears properly and often will pick a random one, which causes further damaged. Vehicle has sat for years, the transmission is unrepairable and a new unit must be installed which cost around $3500 for the transmission alone not including labor as told by the Nissan dealership. I now sit with a giant paper weight that is useless and worth nothing. Manufacturer should be held responsible as this issue exists and has been recalled in other models and years with the same transmission or issue.
The car is constantly jerking and losing power. The car has been towed for not responding after acceleration. Mechanic has told me it is the transmission. Car only has roughly 86k miles on it. Not safe to drive at all.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, the vehicle started jerking while making abnormal sounds while attempting to accelerate. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 93,000.
When I first bouth this car used in 2020, the car suddenly begins accellerating rapidly but going nowhere while driving and I had the transmission replaced very soon after 68000 miles but, luckily it was under warranty. Now, less than 2 years after Nissan replaced the transmission, I am driving down the interstate and my car starts jumping and going really slow and sluggish to get to the next gear then just takes off normally again. This will happen with the car just driving normally after that then again a shudder and slow down but its never consistent. I took it to Nissan again and guess what, the transmission went again. These automotic cvt re0f11a transmissions in Nissans are severe safety issues and I have noticed and heard from mechanics all over and on this website even.
Continuous variable transmission assembly failure; engine stalled on the highway; around 4/25/2022 no warning lights came up. Took it to the Nissan dealer; they charged $495 for reprogramming computer and test drive. The problem came up pf17f0 - judder. Cvt assembly has to be replaced. The car has run only 33,000 miles and is good condition. The dealer says to replace the transmission with a new one. They stopped installing refurbished continuous variable transmission assemblyand will only sell the new ones for others to repair cars. It costs $6,500/== more than the worth of the cars. They will not sell part - creating monopoly.
I was told by Nissan of tustin, CA, that I need trans repair. I was also told that several other issues exist. For minor items that cost a healthy price. After the repairs I’m called and told I have an additional charge for rear tail lights and brake lights which occurs when repairs on the trans are done. This sounds like something that Nissan knows so why not cover that in the repair? doesn’t sound separate sounds like compound issue from trans. Is there a recall order for this issue with the sentra, which is the same cvt transmission?.
Transmission acts up every time I accelerate to 30-35mph. Must remove foot from gas until rpms go down to at least 2(if I'm lucky). If this process is not done the car continues to get louder and doesn't perform properly. I have two kids that I regularly take to school and other places so this is a big problem. Also if car is going 15mph or slower it's the same process. This started happening about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. Odometer reading at time of purchase 75,500.
Faulty transmission. Replaced twice in 2 years. Nissan doesn't want to be responsible for 2nd transmission. It cost $3,700 a transmission replacement.
On 06-23-21 my car left me stranded on the side of the road the cvt transmission wen out . I was never contacted or called or received any mail whatsoever now Nissan says that I am out of luck and good luck I am out of a car that was giving me problems for over 2 years they refuse to help or do anything about the bad transmission.
My car has a cvt transmission and it jerks and stalls when trying to change gears and sometimes gets stuck in gear. I saw that their is a recall for this issue in Nissan cars (versa,sentra,altima’s)from years 2012-2018 issued in 2016, but when I called the dealership they said it’s not for my specific car according to the VIN number. I’m not sure why this is and I’m confused and would like to know how to resolve this issue.
The problem in my car is ethier the transmission or transmission control module. The transmission started slipping and then suddenly on the hey of 395 north bound it simply just wouldn't do anything it had no reaction at all right in the middle of the freeway and there I was stuck people at 65-70 miles an hour whizzing by me not to mention simi trucks. Tge reason I am writing is I looked up the problem at it is a very common problem with this year and make of the car. I went to Nissan here in reno nv and they will not honor the recall sayes it is because of a branded title. The car had been wrecked only damaging the front bumper. Nothing to the motor or transmission was rebuilt but because it had previously been turned in as an insurance claim Nissan of reno will not honor the recall. Any damage that was done was cosmetic not to the motor or transmission. I would like to know if Nissan should honor the recalls on my vehicle. It has 98,000 miles on it and falls under the 10 year under 120,000 miles. The service person I talked to treated me like I was dumb and pretty much pushed me out the door and told me that they don't have to honor it. I am tempted to get ahold of previous owner to see if his insurance claim had anything to do with this transmission issue. It has one complaint after another on youtube over this very issue. Please help me I don't know what to do. Thank you.
The car doesn't accelerate when taking off sometime. It sometimes wiil not go over 40 mph. Its coding a input speed sensor inside of the transmission.
Nissan Versa is tugging/misfiring during normal driving. The transmission does not shift properly, rpm gets stuck at around 3500-4500 at about 35-40 mph. Once unstuck, the transmission shifts hard like a crunching sound, which sounds like metal grinding metal, not properly engaging shifting. The mileage is currently at 90k. The issue started around a month ago. The issue has gotten to the point that the vehicle is not safe to drive.
Versa transmission started to malfunctioning at around 84,000 miles and not code on dashboard. Called Nissan for warranty but they said not in warranty miles anymore. I think Nissan should warm buyer and drivers about transmission problem with dashboard indications.
My Nissan Versa 2014 had to have the transmission replaced with only a little over 80,000 mile's on it. After research this is a known issue for Nissan crv transmissions for vehicles including my make and model. The vehicle was in motion at the time of the issue on a secondary roadway.
Gearshift will not come out of park, have to manually unlock the gearshift with a paper clip; car will not accelerate correlational to the gas pedal, and the rpms go really high on inclines/hills. . . Nissan saying not responsible/no recalls, but I'm still getting 'claims notices' from gm economic settlement claims center. . . The Nissan dealership told me to "disregard" the notices coming in the mail. . . .
Specifically, my transmission is starting to go bad and will need replacing. The cost is 3200. In addition the car is a 2014 Nissan Versa 130,000 miles. I feel after reading my complaints on line about this faulty transmission that Nissan continued to install on many vehicles and endangering the owners lives Nissan should either recall my car or replace the transmission at their cost .
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.
My car have 117 k miles and tha tranzmition is bad all tha Nissan car are like tha.
Car stalling , losing speed , due to failing cvt transmission.
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.
Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. The contact stated the vehicle would overheat while driving down road and while idling at traffic stops. The contact checked the fluid levels and found no antifreeze in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an oil change. The mechanic stated that the a/c compressor needed to be replaced but did not do the repair at that time. The dealer was called clay cooley Nissan 39690 lyndon b johnson fwy south, dallas, TX 75237 (972) 635-4062 and they quoted a repair cost of over $1,600. The manufacturer was not contacted . The failure mileage was 83,000. Tf.
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 to malfunction at any time.
I purchased the car in 2018 at over 72k and it is now 94k, the transmission is bad now. Everytime I hit the gas, the rpm jumps up to 4000-5000. Eats up all the gas quickly. Sometimes it would shake when I let go of the gas pedal. It started July 2019 and per mechanic, I will need to get rid of the car.
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 that full cost, but if I hadn't had that, I would have a car that would be dangerous to drive on roadways.
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.
Cvt not shifting into lower gear at high rpms.
My husband and I were driving home after buying groceries, we were in a very busy street, when the car stopped accelerating. This was very dangerous since there was people behind us and next to us. It was hard to move to pull over. Finally we learned our transmission (cvt) was broken. This will cost us almost as much as we paid for the car. All this happened as we reached 65,000 miles. And conveniently enough, the warranty only covers up to 60,000.
Transmission went out with only 67,000 miles on the car. Could have caused a very serious problem if I was driving on the expressway. If Nissan is knowingly selling cars with defective or substandard components should not be allowed.
Bought the 2014 Nissan Versa in 2013. Took good care of it. Had 72,000 miles on it and the transmission went in early sept. 2018. Many of the miles were small trip highway miles, not even city miles. Nissan did not do anything to help. Rather than put the $3,880. 00 into it I traded it in. I expected it to last another 5 years and feel Nissan screwed me, and from what I am now hearing, a lot of other people too.
Transmission problem: I bought the car brand new for my daughter July 2013. Last year it started having problems shifting gears. This year the problem got worse. We received a recall card in the mail stating to bring it in to the nearest dealership because of the transmission. The recall was only for reprogramming the computer. After bringing it in, the car shut down on her as she was driving home. I'm thankful we live in a small town. I called Nissan's corporate office to complain. A representative named patrick (615) 725-7359 was assigned my complaint. . He said there was nothing he could do because the warranty had expired. I still have a year left to pay for the car. Nissan dealership charged $2990 to fix the car. I have read so many complaints about the transmission in these cars and safety hazards. Nothing is being done!!.
