general problems of the 2015 Nissan Versa Note

The contact's brother rented a 2015 Nissan Versa Note through turo. The contact stated that while her brother was driving at approximately 15 mph in a tunnel, the transmission was slipping, the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard, and the vehicle unexpectedly rolled backwards while on an incline. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The renter contacted the company, which stated that it was normal for the engine light to be illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

Only have 81000 miles on my versa took to shop and did diagnose on it said I need a new transmission I don’t even drive that much and quoted $8000 to replace it I called a transmission shop and they told me those cars are known to have bad transmission Nissan needs to step up and admit the transmission or faulty.

My versa has been shutting off, shuddering and leaping while driving for over a year. It would always start after stopping and I could go on my way. Today the engine stopped and I was able to restart, but when I put it in gear the engine stopped. I did this several time and every time the engine would stop. I had it towed to my mechanic and he told me my transmission is going out. I looked for a recall notice and did not find one. I did find several class action law suites for this same issue and Nissan has settled all of them. There is another company in town that has 21 versa's and all of his are having this same issue and must be replaced. It costs over $5,000 to fix and is very unsafe. The issue I had today was stop and go traffic on the freeway.

Las revoluciones no se quedan estable cuando estoy manejando, el vehículo empieza a dar jalones y podría ser la transmisión.

Transmission out 88000 miles.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa Note. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated and was jerking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with transmission failure. The mechanic replaced the transmission; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,102. The VIN was unavailable.

Transmission: when lowering the speed for a speed reduction or full stop the there is a tremor seconds before a full stop. The electrical system is good. No light flickers and when starting starts good. But certain inclines, upwards, with a 3 passengers or little weight the strength power of acceleration the vehicle moves slower. It takes up to 10 seconds for a "grip" of power for torque to accelerate. I was told 2016, from the Nissan dealer where I purchased the vehicle that it compressed air for such acceleration. I live in the flat area in puerto rico. The cities and secondary roads have their incline and their hills but yesterday going on a "on ramp" to catch the highway the power of take-off had more acceleration than movement and this vehicle has less than 40000 (39565). It has its regular oil change but during the years I never received a warning about this nor from Nissan or from the dealer.

I was in my car sleeping with the ignition off when I woke up there was flames on the driver side of the hood. You can see where the fire started on the ground wire by the battery circuit box. My safety was at risk because I could have not been able to make it out of my car if didn't wake up in time and could have been severely injured or even dead.

Transmission failure at 88,000. No prior issue. Rpm went from 2 to 3, a jerk then just stopped moving. Brought to shop. Needs a new cvt transmission. Can't be looked at because I am buying a new car tomorrow and trading this one. I was on the interstate when this suddenly happened.

The transmission in this car is highly volatile and it's problems may lead to an on-road failure. The manufacturer is aware of this but they are not actively making a remedy available to prevent a potential accident. Dealerships refuse to address the known manufacturing problem with a free safety check.

The transmissions are faulty. My original one broke at around 60k miles as I bought the car at 50k miles used. Then the refurbished one that was sent to replace it had shrapnel inside of it. The third one was put in my vehicle as a brand new transmission and broke within a month, the belt that is submerged in fluid was burned up. Then the fourth one was put in and within a year I am now getting this replaced again due to the same issue and this one was straight from Nissan brand new. On to transmission number 5. . . . .

Purchased the car in August 2019 at 125,000 miles. By October 2019, the cvt transmission went out and will cost $4,400 to replace by Nissan. My 18yo niece was driving when the car failed to accelerate and it could've been detrimental or fatal for her. I looked it up and found there's an open class action lawsuit against Nissan for knowingly installing defective transmissions in their versas. How could they do this? are they waiting to see how many people are killed or injured while driving defective cars? it's not right. The worst thing is that Nissan's response to the suit is extending the warranty to 84,000 miles, which doesn't help me and many others in the same situation, instead of recalling and fixing the issue, which is what should be done! why punish people for mileage when the transmission was destined to fail from the beginning? this car is only 4 years old. It's ridiculous and wrong.

Transmission went out at 70012 miles.

I was going on to the highway and I was trying to go fast to move in to on going traffic and my car wouldn't move faster and started making this weird sound like a chugging noise along with a scrape sound every time I put my foot on the gas.

When driving on I-65 south in columbia, TN, the vehicle lost power and would not go above 60 mph with the rpm revving to 5. This happened suddenly and without warning and almost caused an accident. Thankfully the vehicle behind me was able to move over to the other lane.

I have a large lag when I hit the accelerator pedal and I have a fuel issue in the tank that I was to get a repair notice on. Trouble filling the tank.

I bought this car with 36,00, thousand miles. After 20,000 miles I had enough. Too many problems, ps light (indicating steering wheel problem) on the panel for no reason and Nissan charged me for that. I changed the right axle, and now I'm going to have to change left axle for the same reason (no explanation from Nissan, only that the part is not working properly and making noises). Problem number three, last week my car started doing a loud noise, and today I discovered that I'm going to have to change all the catalytic system (almost a thousand dollars for that).
