I have been taking my car to Nissan since my purchase. I was having cooling issues, radiator issues, and car not starting. With all these issues and years of repairs. . My cvt transmission finally went out. I had no clue as they were fixing and servicing this car. I call Nissan affairs dept as I had to pay $5050. 00 to replace it out of my pocket! Nissan states out of warranty 5 months ago!!. I inquired to why I was never contacted about transmission issues and problems or the opportunity to be included in the civil action with this vehicle. They claimed they had the old owners information which is a lie as I have received prior documentation for warranty notifications in my name! excuse after excuse to not help me. That got me good with the 5050. 00 for an ongoing issue for this vehicle. Nissan does not help at all!.
Regarding my 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with "continuous variable (cone shaped) transmission": I first noticed the transmission issue beginning October of 2020. When accelerating quickly, it feels like the transmission freezes, so I back off the accelerator and it usually kicks back into gear. When my husband first experienced it, he told me to shift to neutral and back to drive which seems to work; however being on a public thoroughfare and manually shifting gears to keep moving forward seems like a major safety issue. I have read several posts regarding this same issue. My question why hasn't this american/japanese automobile conglomerate addressed this safety issue with a transmission recall?.
I almost died. T he transmission is trash. When the car comes to stop and hit the pedal the car doesn't move and when if finally accelerates keeps shaking and the transmission slips and jerks.
I was driving in stop and go traffic and as I stopped at a red light in the left turn lane, the engine cut off completely and would not start. I had to ask a group of people to help push my car to the side of the road during rush hour traffic. I waited about 30 minutes and the car was able to start again. I was nervous to drive on the expressway to get home as this could pose as a serious threat to safety.
This car takes forever to warm up in winter. I dont let it sit and idle, I drive slowly for a while. It takes me 20 minutes to get to work and just starting to warm up then. Is this because it has two thermostats and an oil cooler? its an annoyance. I even leave heater off till temp guage has 6 bars and that only minimally solves the problem.
Maybe not a safety issue, but highly irritating. In winter, no matter how cold, the vehicle takes way too long to heat up for warm cabin air. I live 7 miles from work, but it still takes almost 20 minutes to get there. I am not getting warm enough air until im almost at work. It matters not how long I let it idle. On very cold days, I dont get defroster heat and I have interior frost all the time. After reading versa forums online, im led to bellieve its all because the car has two thermostats and an oil cooler. In contrast, my wifes new 3 cylinder Mitsubishi mirage is warm in about 5 minutes. Dealer says its normal for this car. Had I known this before hand I probably wouldnt have bought it.
Engine smell hot all the time.

When starting up from a stop, the vehicle fails to accelerate when the gas pedal is pushed. This problem is intermittent and has happened 4 times in the 18000 miles I have driven the car since new. This is a dangerous situation when trying to accelerate into traffic. When reported to the dealer, he didn't seem concerned but told me I could leave it for a few days to try and make it happen. With no offer of a loaner, I could not be without the car. I have seen that other owners have experienced this same problem and will return to the dealer and demand a full evaluation. I understand that the infrequency of the problem makes it difficult to diagnose, but that does not make the potential for serious injury any less serious.
Intermittent lack of acceleration. Happened 4 times in 6 days. Tried accelerating from stop to enter cross street and found no acceleration and no engine increase. Traveled 50 feet at 6 to 10 mph before a response with pedal to the floor. Turned into dealer, but there was no resolution. This is a possible deadly problem.
