2014 Nissan Versa Note with 9501 miles at time of last incident. When the problem occurs the car shifts rough at low speeds (10 mph) to medium speeds (45 mph). While the car is shifting rough the rpms of the engine maintains a normal flux in rpm but nothing drastic like an engine that is struggling to stay running. Once the car comes out of the rough shifting then the car quickly stalls. When the car stalls it does not spit and sputter like a car having problems running. This has happened 3 times within the 9501 mile that we have driven the car. This has happened at 45 mph while driving in traffic and while moving through a parking lot at about 10 mph back to back within a min of each stalling at about 10 mph. The owners manual says to use at least 87 aki and the lowest rating in our state is 87. We have always used at least the low grade and at times used mid-grade 89. Nissan dealership only suggestion is to use premium gas.
Car surges forward after stopping. Its like the transmission has jumped forward. If your foot isn't firmly on the brake, it could hit a car in front. It does it almost all the time. Windshield washers aim very low, with no adjustment to raise them up.
Shift hard from park.
Engine ,brakes and shifter this is the correct VIN [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The cvt will shift into a lower gear while stopped with constant brake pressure. 3 to 10 seconds after a complete stop. This "lower shifting" causes the car to move forward without the knowledge of the driver should the driver think he/she is stopped and performing other normal tasks (I. E setting navigation or radio,) this has the possibility of causing vehicle damage or pedestrian injury; without the knowledge of the driver. I can easily make a video of this problem available.
Pulling away from a toll booth on I-80, car would not accelerate. Check engine light. Towed to dealer at owner's expense, pulled tran codes p0500, p1574, p1715, p1720 and p0720. Only had car for 5 days. After 17 days at dealer, replaced 2 sensors, 31935-1xf00 sensor asmy-rev (n/c) 1 31935-1xf01 sensor asmy-rev at recommendation of Nissan tech line. Dealer was unable to replicate the problem prior to repair. This was a life threatening occurrence, car would not accelerate while pulling into traffic.
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.
My transmission went out pre-maturely on the high way and I almost got rear-ended. It’s a cvt transmission which has had a class action lawsuit which I wasn’t aware of when I bought car in 2020. Nissan should hold more responsibility but they refuse to help my basically totaled car.
