Good evening. I notice this car went driving if I want speed more 40miles make a stop shake and slowdown the speed by it self. Also the dashboard display on and off a gas cap loose but is tide. Also went the gas cap ligth is on the engine ligth goes off and viceversa.

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.

We bought a Nissan Versa Note 2014 in March of 2023. It currently has 74k miles. The transmission is shot. It doesn't want to shift, and revs up to high rpm's. We have had two mechanics check on it. Up to $7,000 to get fixed. The second issue is the steering. The steering gear has gone out. It makes a clicking noise when turning. This is so bad the mechanic said not to drive the car anymore. $1100 to fix. We now need to pay as much to fix the car as we owe on it.

Transmission went out.

Engine keeps losing oil level when no leaks found which causes transmission and engine to act making weird noises when gas pedal hit when driving car. Transmission is making weird noises like it is slipping when driving when gas pedal is pressed down. A settlement with Nissan was reached due to a class action lawsuit as car is having the issue as car pass 120000 mileage limit when issue started. Volume on internal bluetooth speaker is too low for people to hear when on phone calls with cell phone paired to car thru bluetooth as issue on two different phone models.

My vehicle was jumping when accelerating. It then went into limp mode to protect the engine due to code ntb17-034g. The mechanic stated this code is coming up and is a safety issue. The car is not accelerating as normal, car is jumping and will go into limp mode randomly.

When reaching speeds around 20 mph, usually on turning corners, car feels like its 'skipping' not catching (so this could be like when picking up speed after reducing speed). I'm currently having wheel bearings replaced and the certified mechanic working on it says it appears to be transmission related and recommended me to take it to Nissan as he assumed (wrongly!) that it should still be covered under warranty. The vehicle has 71,000 miles. This issue doesn't always appear and is random as to showing up, but it is frequent.

2017 Nissan Versa Note 1. 6 l 1598 cc l4 dohc 16 valve odometer: 43408 complaint: customer states, while driving vehicle will jerk and then engine light came on. Customer added oil. Technician confirmed customers concern. Technician scanned for trouble codes and found p285a. Technician performed p285a diagnostic procedure and confirmed transmission will need to be replaced. The above is the report from the auto shop. My car started jerking while driving on a slope, in heavy traffic which obviously made me very worried especially when you have no lane to exit. I specifically wanted to buy a newish pre-owned car to avoid expensive issues such as the one above. The odometer is only at +40000 miles, the car has been used only for 3-4 years. Please address.

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.

Vehicle was shuddering or hiccuping accelerating and decelerating on its own without any warning lights turning on. Warning light (mil) only came on after total failure and car would not move forward at all. Without any control of acceleration I was forced to let the vehicle roll down the hill I was on to coast it into a parking lot to be off the road, while traffic was behind me causing a potentially dangerous situation as it was on a short street so line of cars driving the wrong direction with traffic entering behind going the appropriate direction.

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

The problem that the vehicle has is in the transmission. It does not have any light on the panel to notify me of any problem. My vehicle has 57000 miles and the transmission changes irregularly and sometimes it goes down without having slowed down, forcing me to stop completely on the road it is truly worrying. I have done internet searches on 2014 versa transmissions and many people have had the same problem.

Transmission out 88000 miles.

Vehicles needs jump start every time and the vehicle stop. Need transsmission repaid.

Car has had problems since day one when it was purchased for lack of power going up hills, and when changing lanes it shutters. Also since day one door latches have a problem working in cold weather. . . . . Now at 46,ooo miles the right front passenger door does not want to open from outside, and sometimes will not open from inside, and the rear hatch will not open at all. The drivers door you have a 50/50 chance of it. . May or may not open. This is a long term problem with Nissan cars and is a major safety problem if you cannot get out of a car. It is also problem that effects the safety of those who ride in Nissan cars. . . . . This has been a service bulletin and should be a major recall. . . It needs to be address. . . Just look at the youtube video's its a common problems. .

The cvt failed and the engine began making a droning sound. The vehicle was undrivable once the failed transmission was detected.

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.

We have a 2016 Nissan Versa Note with 85,000 miles on it. The car transmission failed while driving. The car suddenly decelerates even with the gas engaged. This is a serious safety issue and could case a serious accident. Nissan extended the warranty to 84,000 miles because they know this is an issue but won't issue a recall. They also want stand behind their vehicle and help with repar costs. They want $4,000 to to replace the transmission.

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.

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 June of 2021. Took it back to the dealership where I got my car from they did not help me at all and took it to mechanic shop to look at it looked at and I'm changing my transmission fluid twice and no codes popped up on the scanner and now I'm sitting here with no vehicle engine runs is just a cvt transmission is the issue please help.

After having the transmission recall update performed by Nissan the transmission is having issues with shifting. I have to let off of the accelerator for the transmission to downshift. I contacted Nissan and they made a case and said I would have to pay for them to fix the problem even though they knew of the issues with the transmission.

Transmission shutters. Also hesitates when taking off or slow when taking off witch can lead to a accident. These transmissions fail too often. Nissan has not offered a upgrade to the problem. They wind up putting one defective tranny after another.

Transmission has problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear.

I bought this 2014 Nissan Versa Note brand new for my daughter. When I purchased this car I was told that it has a lifetime warranty on the engine and power train. After 6 years the car started to give us a problem with the powertrain. It won't change the gear, takes off is slow, loses power, and making noise. I have no money to get it fixed , therefore Nissan should step up and fix the issue. The dealer I purchased this vehicle from is out of business.

Driving on highway at least 3 different times. When exiting highway car slowing down. When getting to intersection brakes applied. Pulsating felt on brake pedal. Loud thumping noise heard from left front of car. Took cad still under warranty to dealer service. Dealer test drove car stated they heard or felt nothing so theres nothing wrong with it.

Driving on city road at about 40 mph going over bridge, and car just shut off in middle of driving. Cars had to swerve to avoid hitting me. Almost got hit a couple times. Stuck in middle of a busy road. The car has 61,000 miles on it. Regularly oil changes and serviced. There was no warning lights or warnings beforehand that prepared me for the incident. Checked battery connections and tried to restart, no startup. Had to car a tow truck to get it towed to home, then to Nissan dealership in my area. The Nissan service in my area has been trying to figure out what the issue is, and they have no idea.

When stopping at a traffic light or a stop sign, the car wants to move forward excessively. I have to push the breaks hard to make it stop. Looks like the car wants to continue moving forward on the second gear. Sometimes, I have to push it way harder to the end. Sure it will get worse. It could be way dangerous on highways with higher speeds.

Your transmission in your Versa Notes are crap I had to have one replaced last year 15,000 miles later I was driving and I almost was killed when my transmission went out again when I had the audacity to think I could actually make a turn out of the driveway and not get killed by oncoming traffic everything was working in the car except for going forward backwards excetera and then to add insult to injury you guys still made me pay for part of it you won't even cover the whole system being replaced even though I'd had it done less than a year ago guys are knowingly putting people's lives and dangerous and don't care.

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.

I noticed the vehicle sputters and jerks when I try to accelerate preventing me from driving on the highway in fear of being in an accident. Took it to a Nissan dealership and they diagnosed it as a bad transmission. The cost of a new one is very expensive. The vehicle only has 72,xxx miles on it.
