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.

My 2014 Nissan Versa cvt transmission is hesitating, failing to accelerate, and acting erratically. This is causing unsafe driving conditions. On 2 separate occasions, I and my son were almost "t-boned" while pulling out into a busy intersection. The cvt, at times, fails to accelerate properly, putting driver at risk. This car has 122,500 miles on the odometer. The original cvt transmission failed at 65,000 and the replacement cvt transmission is now failing. I brought my car into my dealer, Nissan autofare stratham, and they informed me that I need a new cvt transmission. I have since sent certified letter to Nissan north America notifying them of this. I spoke to markita scott, arbitration specialist/dispute resolution for Nissan north America. She didn't seem to really care about the safety aspect, and stated Nissan would not do anything for me even though this new transmission failed at just 55,000 miles. I believe this is a manufacturing/design flaw with this particular cvt transmission as I had 2 failed transmissions in just 122,000 miles. I also believe that these failures represent a significant safety hazard and the research I done indicates this particular problem is widespread. There's a class action lawsuit pending against Nissan for this cvt problem with this particular model. Thank you.
My 2014 Nissan Versa has a cvt transmission that failed at 54,000 miles. It was replaced with a re-manufactured cvt transmission under warranty. At 122,500, the transmission has failed again. In addition to "shuddering", the car at times will fail to accelerate, causing a potential hazardous situation to myself, passengers and other drivers on the road. On several occasions, the car has failed to accelerate, and I have almost been "t-boned" at busy intersections. I brought my car into the Nissan dealer and they confirmed that my transmission was failing, causing the lack of acceleration. I have phoned, emailed, and written to Nissan north America (certified mail) warning them about this problem and their response was that my car is out of warranty now and there's nothing they will do about it. I spoke directly with markita scott, arbitration specialist (615-725-7884). I mentioned to her the problems I was having and that the car's failing transmission posed a safety hazard. Her reply was the "the car was out of warranty and they could not do anything about it. " she repeated that numerous times and seemed not to care about the safety aspect of driving this car. Thank you.
