general problems of the 2015 Nissan Versa

The cvt transmission has only 80k miles and is changing gears for no reason up and down at all speeds and won’t drive safely. Rpm’s increase and randomly gear kicks in and hits very hard and then stops working.

I was driving along and I went to stop but the brake didn't stop the car so I put in the car in park. Then the brake and engine lights started flashing at me so I turned of the car. I wasn't driving very fast at all, probably less than 20 miles per hour. Then when I restarted the car the brake and engine lights cam back on and the brake still wasn't working, and the car rolled while it was in park. I was not able to move the car to a safe spot. I had to sit partially in a traffic lane near a dangerous, blind curve. A sheriff's deputy saw my car and pulled in behind me to help protect me while we waited two hours for the auto club. My mechanic said the transmission totally failed and caused the problems.

The cvt transmission has gone bad on this vehicle, while on vacation the car started sputtering and shut off at a stop light. When I had the car towed to the dealership they told me I needed a new transmission because the torque converter has gone bad. When I complained that the car has only 97,000 some miles the dealership directed me to I-800-Nissan. I provided the requested information and received a call and the gentleman told me my car was not covered under the extended warranty (was extended to 80,000 miles), he went on to say that after researching to see if Nissan could help in any way he found that I had not have service done at one of their dealership and they could not offer any assistance at this time. The quote to replace the transmission with a remanufactured transmission is $4000. 00. Upon researching this issue (I believe a transmission with a first maintenance schedule at 100,000 miles should at least make it to that maintenance timeline) I have discovered this cvt transmission problem is widespread among many Nissan models, the Versa included. There were no warning lights or prior problems before it just quit.

A rear wheel bearing failed and was replaced at 14,900 miles in 2017. Now, a rear wheel bearing has failed again at 59,500 miles. The dealership will not make any concession on the faulty parts and/or flaw in the quality that Nissan is using. Wheel bearings should not fail at this point in a vehicle's life (low miles). The wheel gets extremely hot and could lock-up causing a loss of control. I have read many complaints for the same issue. This is unsatisfactory. These car models should be checked and replaced if needed by Nissan at no cost to the owner. My vehicle is till within the 60,000 mile warranty but 4 months beyond the 60 months.

My car shut off while I was stopped at a stop sign. The radio and air were still on. The car would not move. In order for me to move the vehicle, I had to put it into park, turn the ignition switch to off and turn the ignition back to on. Basically turn it all the way off and restart the vehicle.

No acceleration. When turning car stutters. The car runs this way all the time. Took the car to the dealer, tech found code p1715,p2765,and p0965.

Having problem stopping my car in wet or snowy weather. Anti-lock breaks not working correctly. There is a recall for my year but when I do a search it says there are zero recalls for my vehicle. Transmission does nit shift properly.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa. While driving various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly and, eventually, failed to start. The vehicle was taken to passport Nissan (5000 auth way, marlow heights, MD) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The gear shift does not lock and the transmission jumps gears. Occasionally it doesn't have enough power while driving.

3 years after purchase, the car has stalled on a cross state trip. Lost the purchase of the trip and time. Vehicle check engine light turned on and vehicle cuts off. Started up, vehicle lurches forward and stops again. Called a tow-truck-- hauled into a Nissan dealership, who informs that the transmission needs replacing. Cvt transmission is installed on vehicle. Why? dealership has informed that warranty does not cover this vehicle. ??.

I bought this Versa brand new at the dealership. After a year from the purchase date the dealer went out of business and was bought out. The first year I had it I came in often with transmission problems, but was told it was nothing and to give it more gas when it acted like it was having troubles. Everytime I went for an oil change, even my first oil change, they would come back with 600 dollars worth of filters or the brake fluid needed to be changed. I quit going there for my car, because of the constant pressure to spend money on issues I wasnt having. They never wanted to look at the transmission or anything. Now after 65k the transmission has been replaced, my running taillights do not work, some unknown electrical issue, and the car just turns off on it's own with no warning. Before the tranny went out I was driving 70 mph down the interstate and the car shut off with no warning nearly causing an accident with a semi, the dealer does not want to fix that problem bc it can not replicated. That's their answer to any problem that's not expensive or quick. If it can not be replicated then your lying as I have been told. I was also told that all Versa's sold would need a new tranny after 40k. Now Nissan north America nor the dealer wants to pay for their mistakes. I need help getting this resolved soon.

Vehicle stalls and jerks when trying to accelerate at any speed. No indicator or warning lights present.

Sitting at a red light, accelerated when it turned green and car would not move. Finally did move enough to pull into a parking lot. Had car towed over 150 miles back to austin, texas and dropped off at lamb's tire & automotive on w. Slaughter lane. Transmission needed to be replaced. Brand new would have been about 6500. 00. Rebuilt about 1/2 that amount. Did not fix. Had it towed back to our house where it still sits in the driveway.

Takata recall hello, I have a Nissan Versa 2015 model and have 55000 miles on its meter. I am having alot of problem with my car. I can feel all the gears changing while drive wether its on city or highway ( kind of feel like a sudden jerk in body) . My engine oil is going bad at 3-4000 miles ( putting sythetic oil with gurantee 10-15000 mile) . And if engine oil goes bad my car's pickup go less. It cant run over 15-20 mph. Happened with me twice, once in February 2018 when I had to tow my car and again happend on 25th April 2018 and I had to drive with emergency parking lights on to service center. My cars oil replacement sticker still shows 2000 miles more to run. And some mechanic said oil is all bad. After that I put an obd device in my car. And got some problem codes. Attaching image. Right now my car is in Nissan service center. And they didnt told me anything from last 3 days, that whats going on.

My 2015 Nissan Versa transmission has gone out and it only has 79k miles I purchased it brand new in oct of 2015. I am just checking to see if the transmission was installed in 2014 since those transmissions were recalled on the 2014 Versas were used in the 2015 Versas. The transmission should not have failed with that mileage. I am sure Nissan is aware of this issue with customers, as I have found several complaints from Nissan Versa owners. We need a recall on these vehicles consumers simply cannot pay thousands of dollars to have them replaced this is a manufacturers defect and Nissan should be made to pay for the total repairs to replace these transmissions on all the 2015 Versas, maybe you could look into this. My car is at the dealership waiting to be inspected as they are two weeks behind and now I have to rent a vehicle to get to work. Please take this complaint into serious consideration.

At 90,000 miles the transmission started acting up. It would act like it was slipping when you take off from a dead stop. As time went by, at 114,000 miles the check engine light came on. At the same time the transmission got worse. Not only it was slipping at take off, but jerking at 20 and 40 mph. Whe I took it to the dealer, they told me I needed a new transmission. The dealer when I checked the check engine light also said it should have been serviced every 36,000 miles. She I when in for oil changes nothing was said prior.

" takata recall" my 2015 Nissan Versa is driving slow and there is no excelaration, the car wont drive over 35 miles and the car is constantly driving slow. I am able to take the car to o'reilys by home and they were able to complete a diagnostics on the car and they advise me that is was a transmission issue. I had a private mechanic to come to home and he advise the same. I check Nissan of north America website and I see there was a recall for the Nissan Versa but that was in 2015 for the cvt-transmission and this happen to my car in Jan 2017. I didnot have any warnings on my dash boards, and I was in traffic when it happend. I first brought the car in to the dealership in Jan 2015 for the foot pedal and the car stayed there almost 2 months before they finally fixed it correctly and then I notice a recall after that. I bought my car brand new in Dec 2014 and the car is not even 2 years old for the transmission to be gone. I do not have an extended warranty and why should I since it is a brand new car. When the car was driving slow on the expressway I had my children in the car and it could have play out worst. I was able to pull the car over to the side let it sit and then I started it back again driving with my hazard lights on and the car kept jerking and never going over 35 miles, the car revs on its own without stepping on the foot pedal. When I drive the car now I do not go further than 3 miles from my home for fear the car will stop again or I can be in a serious accident. I live by 2 major expressways that truck use and I cant afford to take the chance with getting hit from behind. Trying to make 1 turn off my street the car just revs and then it slows down and then all of sudden the car will speed off on it own to about 35 miles. I called the dealership and they want to charge me 4,000. 00 to put a brand new transmission which I dont have.

Cvt transmission, whines shutters sometimes you have to either let off of the gas or give it more gas for it to change gears when driving on the road. I have had it to the dealership and since there is no light on the dash and no codes Nissan will not fix it I have had it to the shop multiple times.

This car hesitates. I push the accelerator all the way down and nothing happens. I just roll. When I make a left turn - I have cars behind me honking at me to get moving, but nothing works. Then, suddenly the car shoots forward. This doesn't happen all the time and not only on left turns, but they are the worst. Before making a left turn, everyone makes sure there is no car approaching. But, every left turn is a real issue for me, because I never know if the car is going to move. I have taken my car to the dealer twice, only to be told it was fine when they tested it and bring it back when it doesn't work right. I was even told that the brake and gas pedals are close together and maybe I was pushing both of them at the same time. So, it was a woman's crazy problem she was creating herself. I don't know what else to do.
