2014 Nissan Versa cvt transmission. . . We bought this car brand new from the dealer has been nothing but a pain transmission blew out at 70 thousand miles. I had it serviced at 60 thousand for all fluids and filters dealer told me it was in great condition I was mid way home from dropping my niece off home and the Versa started slipping gears and shuddering I almost caused a 5 car accident if I hadn't pulled out the way of the car behind me. Imagine if I had my niece in the car what could have happened if we did crash because of the problem and Nissan will not take any responsibility for the problem. They want 3800. 00 to fix it. I am one of thousands of victims of Nissan not recalling there cars knowing they put out a horrible and dangerous product out on the roads.
I purchased a 2014 Nissan Versa in 2016 and two years later, the transmission is shot. The dealer confirmed it was the transmission.
Symptoms � car driven today about 100 miles. Engine shutoff for gas up. On restart the engine came on,but no power when in gear. Press of accelerator but car barely moved. Shutdown and turn back on and got a little power. Looked at the brake lights and those do not come on when brake pedal depressed. Lights checked and are good bulbs. The engine idled smoothly, the transmission was properly functioning and engaged. There was no response to any movement from on the foot pedal to the engine in any gear, including neutral and park. Again, the engine idled smoothly, the transmission engaged properly when shifted from park to drive, etc. Had this same issue about 5 months ago. When taken to dealer, Nissan mechanic noted the no brake lights and got those to come back on. Once the brake lights worked, the issue suddenly was gone. Versa was brought in for no power and the cruise control kept disengaging. There seems to be some connection between the cruise contorl module, the brake module and the power train. Acts as if the computer control is getting signals that basically disconnects the acceleration signals, or is causing the cvt transmission to disconnect, even though we can shift through th gears with no problem. Just won't get any acceleration at all.
Bought this Versa brand new in 2014. Had cvt recall work done in 2016. Shortly after work was completed, vehicle started to experience extreme shuddering after a complete stop and during take off. Vehicle shifts from gear to gear hard and with a jerk. It will barely accelerate after a stop. Took to mechanic to have transmission flushed, hoping this would help and was notified that there were transmission issues that a flush would not help. Taking to a Nissan mechanic for a diagnostic. Vehicle has 106,000 miles, but is used only for long stretches of highway commutes. The vehicle has been taken care of very well, with all scheduled maintenance at appropriate intervals. It should not be experiencing transmission issues this early. It feels like this car is a throwaway vehicle.
I went to pick up my daughter from daycare on day in December 2017. I stopped at a stoplight and when it turned green I went to accelerate and my car would barely creep, I barely made it through a turn light and close to getting hit. I could barely get up to 15mph. I ended up taking it to a shop and was told a pulley broke on the transmission! it supposedly caused shrapnel to shoot into the transmission and told could of gotten into the motor! so I was told $4000 for a rebuilt transmission. The shop put me through the ringer! they told me it was fixed and it wasn't!! it was not shifting right! then I was told they would put in a new transmission at no extra charge. Then I ended up getting ahold of them the next day and they told me no doubt it is fixed and that they ended up not putting in a new transmission after they read up on it. I ended up having the car towed because it wasnt fixed! then they put in a new one finally at no charge and it was fine. Took 4 times!! two weeks later and it starts burning a gas/rotten egg sulfur smell. Then I finally notice oil leaking out from under my car. From what I was told I have a blown head gasket!!! I am angry to say the least!!1 I spent all my savings and now have to find a way to get a new car and I doubt I can pay to fix this problem!!!.
The cvt transmission left my daughter stranded in orlando FL. She lives in jacksonville FL. 2. 5 hours away. The car would not accelerate when she tried to get on the highway to head home after class. Went down to orlando with my truck, rented a tow dolly from u-haul and towed the car back to jacksonville FL. I am a ase certified technician. I connected my ($600. 00) launch cr129 pro scanner . It does obdii, abs, srs, transmission. No codes no matter how it drove. After 3 days of troubleshooting I decided to take it to the dealer. They diagnosed it as the cvt transmission and it needs a new one at the cost of $3800. 00. The car has 66,000 miles and is a 2014. Filed a complaint with Nissan and was turned down for any help. This is a major problem with jatco transmissions, the manufacturer knows it, Nissan knows it, Mitsubishi & Subaru both use the same jatco transmission and have similar problems. The issues are wide spread over multiple car manufacturers and all of them are not taking responsibility for the problems. A 2014 with 66000 miles should not need a transmission. It is a safety hazard plain and simple.
The car turns off while driving and waiting at a stop sign or red light. Studdering occurs with exceleration. There is also an electrical draw somewhere. If the car is not driven in 3 days, the battery must be jump started. We have replaced the battery. This has been an ongoing problem since 2017.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. While driving on several occasions, the engine stalled and lost power. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hayward Nissan (24644 mission blvd, hayward, CA 94544 (510) 372-2800) where no diagnostic failure codes were found and the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was taken to autocom Nissan of concord (1290 concord Ave, concord, CA 94520 (925) 275-5634) where it was diagnosed that the cvt transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Cvt slips, throttles, make clunking noise.
I am a current customer of a dealership in gainesville, florida. I have bought at least 2 brand new Nissan vehicles from them . I was planning to buy another Nissan now that I just retired. However with this experience I am going to look somewhere for my new vehicle other than a Nissan. This Nissan Versa note I bought it in November 2013. I never had any problems with any brand car makes before 5 years after purchase. The dealership wants to "fix" the cvt problem at $ 4000. 00! everyone is aware of the cvt programming problem with this model. Even Nissan issued a service bulletin to try to fix it. ! at no avail. My advice, stay away from Nissan vehicles!.
When accelerating from a stop my car will shutter and almost stall. This is especially unnerving when turning left. This happens almost every time. Another issue I've had, is my car starts moving while at a stop light and my foot is fully on the brake.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart, but was not accelerating. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing where it was determined that the power train failed. The failure mileage was 107,149.
On 10/11/2016 my cars check engine light came on for the first time ever since I bought the car, while I was driving home from work on the freeway, my car would shift hard trying to get into a higher gear and then when I pressed on the gas pedal you could hear the car accelerate but it would not shift and aside of the check engine light coming on that is why I brought it into the dealership and they diagnosed it as well as found out there was an outstanding recall on the cvt program in that year make and model of car. Mind you this is the first I hear of such recall when I have had this car for over a year and this such recall came out on 08/12/2015. I never received anything via mail, email, or phone. I have not changed my address nor phone number in years so I don't see why they did not get in contact with me or my dad. I believe that if this was taken care of last year when this all came about I would not have to be in this situation where they treating me with such disrespect and as if I don't know my rights as a customer. I was given the run around at one dealership and the other dealership was "on my side" and all I want is my car to be fixed and not be taken advantage of because I am a female.
See first attached pdf diagram for description. The second attachment shows report of the subsequent inspection by a carmax mechanic. The problem appeared to be intermittent and not reproducible at will. I sold this car back to carmax 42 days after its purchase, sustaining a $2260 loss. Most of the loss was due to a second accident that occurred on 6/10/2016 that may also have been brake/transmission problem (see third and fourth attachments).
Brake failure today while driving. When I pressed the brake, the pedal went all the way down to the floor. The car didn't respond. Thank god I was coming out of a parking lot and not on the busy highway when this happened or it could have been a fatal situation. Also experiencing cvt judders and vibrations constantly. Transmission feels like its struggling and will die soon. I only have 39000 miles on the car.
My 2014 Nissan Versa s will not exceed 23 miles per hour. It happened first on 12/26/15 and I had it towed to a Nissan dealership. They called several hours later saying the car was fine and was unable to find a problem. Today it happened again 12/28/15 I was leaving a from a doctor appointment and once again the vehicle would not go faster than 23mph. I drove the vehicle about 3 miles into the nearest Nissan dealership and had them drive it so they could see what I meant. They did drive it and said they will give me a loaner car and would diagnose more tomorrow. This is a safety hazard for sure,.
Shifting from low to overdrive loses power dramatically. Takata recall my Versa is in motion on surface streets and highway travel! it feels as if my transmission is going to drop on the ground. Serios vibrations throughout the entire vehicle and extreme deceleration!.
I purchased a 2014 Nissan Versa from maita Nissan in sacramento (now called sacramento Nissan) on September 12, 2014 and I'm just not satisfied. The VIN number is 3n1cn7ap8ek445673 I purchased a 2014 Nissan Versa from maita Nissan in sacramento (now called sacramento Nissan) and I'm just not satisfied. This car does not at all sound like a new car. I drove it off the lot with 9 miles on it, but immediately noticed how difficult it is for the transmission to smoothly get into gear. It's loud and almost sounds like it's completely broken. When I put the car in reverse I hear a loud clunking sound whether it's on a flat surface or in the driveway. I've discussed hearing this sound before 4 different times and also went to the Nissan service department 4 times. I'm being told nothing is wrong. I didn't purchase a "brand new" car to have all of these problems. I called Nissan consumer affairs and advised them about the issues and requested a buy back. After waiting 3 weeks for an answer, they advised me on 4/9/15 that they are not going to accommodate my request. I feel this car has an unsafe transmission and braking system. Please investigate this issue.
We recently (2 Nov) purchased a 2014 Nissan Versa with the 5 speed transmission ,our problem is with down shifting from 5th to 4th . When shifting from 5th to 4th the shifter will randomly lock up and you have to coast to the side of the road and physical move the shifter in every direction till you can shift again or if you?re lucky as you?re coasting and fighting with the shifter it pops loose and you can shift into a lower gear. It seems like the shift linkage locks up and the car won?t go fully into 4th. My wife has taken off work twice and attempted to have the car repaired at our local Nissan dealer (leglue Nissan, alexandria, la). Both times she has been she told by the service manager after a short test drive nothing is wrong with the car, all the 2014 Versas shift like that. We have contacted Nissan consumer affairs and received a similar answer basically that they are aware that the Versa has a hard downshift from 5th to 4th but that this is normal for the vehicle. Also, let me at this time alleviate any concern about us being unfamiliar with the operation of a manual transmission vehicle. We presently own four passenger vehicles with manual transmissions, one being a 2009 Versa with the 5 speed transmission which has never given us a problem and several pieces of farm machinery and between both of us have over 70 years of experience operating them.
