Transmission slipping
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.
Just look at my recall on my vehicle and it had no repair at all.
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.
Nissan versa note 2014 49000 miles on 12/31/2018, transmission is failing, car doesn't accelerate correctly, I went to nissan a month after warrenty expired and they could not help me. Car is in motion when transmission slips. Highway and residential driving.
I got my 2014 nissan versa note as a christmas gift from my parents in 2015. My parents did lots of research and was ensured that it was a safe and reliable car for a first time driver. Unfortunately this car has caused me many time consuming problems. I drive a lot to commute to my work. I've been having problems with nasty exhaust smells, slipping gears, delayed shifting, breaks delayed and grinding, and RPM"s shooting up when barely gasses. My commute is quite dangerous with heavy traffic and loads of semis passing one another. It really worries me and makes my fear for my safety when I've been having all of these problems I really shouldn't have with this new of a car. Bakersfield nissan had my car trying to fix it for a week and a half really putting a monkey wrench with my commute to work. They eventually had to replace the transmission and cv boot. Now I am having new problems and lots of grinding and rattling. They told me my car failed to replicate anything but the RPM"s shooting up. It really frustrates me knowing this car only has 50,000 miles on it!!!!!!! Please help me figure this out
Was driving on highway during stop and go traffic and engine cut off completely while the car was in drive. Put car in park, and try to restart but vehicle would not restart and had to be pushed to the side of the road during traffic. Made several attempts to restart vehicle and it would not start. I let car sit for 30 minutes and car finally restarted. I took the car to dealership on 7/6/15 and they adjusted the idle but could not diagnose the issue. On 8/8/15, I was leaving a store and started to yield to turn onto a busy street and the car completely died again. I took the car on 8/11/15 to nissan dealership and they reprogrammed the ECM, but did not say that would permanently fix the issue. I'm an extremely concerned consumer as I have seen several post online from consumers for this very issue, and I don't feel nissan has done their part to diagnose the issue. Being that the car shuts off unexpectedly with out forewarning, I'm concerned should this shut down occur when the vehicle is traveling at a high speed a fatality could occur.
