2014 Nissan Versa Note transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 55, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The CVT failed and the engine began making a droning sound. The vehicle was undrivable once the failed transmission was detected.
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!
My CVT transmission went out on my vehicle which is 7 years old, and has 124,xxx miles on it. The more I read online that this issue is common, with significantly less miles on it. My car would often shake or vigorously vibrate, and had the transmission go out while driving on a busy highway.
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.
Transmission went out at 93492 on 03/26/2018 costing me $3749.74
The transmission failed in my 2014 nissan versa note because of their design issue and I paid out of pocket to fix it and replaced it at nissan dealership may the 15th and yesterday july 29th at 7pm this second transmission failed extremely another time when I was exiting the highway in sioux falls sd and I almost killed by fast traffic because my car wasn't accelerating and my foot was all the way to the floor and no power so I stopped the car and I was praying no one will kill me in that very fast traffic since I was in the middle of the road and they couldn't let me pull over when I started experiencing the issue so I turned off the car and I restarted it after 20 min and while I was waiting for the car to cool down I was calling sioux falls police department but unfortunately no answer after a wait of 15min . The car is still under warranty for the second transmission but I returned it 3 times to them and they claimed there is no issue in the reports. But ai legally recorded them confirming the issue when they were test driving it and I took it to another transmission repair shop and they confirmed there is an issue
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.
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.
My car had symptoms of jerking and delays when accelerating. The vehicle would shake heavily while driving on the freeway. After going to the mechanic for a diagnostic, it was confirmed that my nissan versa note had transmission issues. I then found out that several cars of this make/model were having similar problems. Estimates for a new transmission are heavy and I am hoping nissan takes ownership for these issues knowing how many cars are affected.
Nissan versa 1.6 liter CVT transmition 119,800 miles transmition fail,dangerous to drive and hiway with this bad manufacture transmitions
Transmission pulls and tugs, sporadic acceleration/deceleration,
Around 65,000 miles I started having an issue with the ctv / automatic transmission. The car sometimes jerks/shakes as I accelerate and takes longer than it used to to speed up. This has put me in immediate danger several times - for example, switching lanes on the highway, I can no longer be certain that I will switch lanes in time for the other cars not to hit me. I took this car to a mechanic who said it may be my transmission fluid - I got the fluid changed in an official nissan shop in norwell, ma. The issue was not resolved - and when I called the nissan shop again, they said if the engine light is not on, there is no problem. The issue has not resolved and they do not want to help.
Brought this car used from a used car dealer in lilburn, ga for my college age daughter to get back and forth to school/work. While she was driving, the check engine light came on, I took the car to nissan south in morrow, ga for a diagnostic test and was told that the car needs a new transmission, that it would cost $3861.00 plus tax. I'm now finding that the CVT transmissions on these cars are crap! And nissan USA corp is aware of the problem. Nissan opened a case for the car, we received a call from joshua w/nissan customer care and was told there was nothing they could do about the car (even though the mileage is under 100k). Why is nissan able to profit off of consumers while selling a knowingly defective product? Why hasn't the federal safety agency stopped nissan from selling this vehicle? I will never buy another nissan again, ever!!!!
Power train failure occurred while traveling at proper safe posted speed limits on the freeway and city streets and roads, which resulted in improper upshifting after complete stops and hard upshift slamming type impact on power train upon take off, as well as grinding type noises coming from beneath the engine, including excessive vibration coming up through shift column, this occurred on 9/14/2019 on our 2014 nissan versa note, per the information which we have obtained, this is a common failure of this model after mileage ranging from 50,00 to 80,000 miles of service, and is a costly repair, and feel the auto maker was aware of this power train life span failure, which could have resulted into a life threatening issue for vehicle owners or operators without a safe route of escape from possible traffic collision's, that would have resulted from loss of power during heavy freeway or cross traffic, and being such a small vehicle in such a situation, the injury or loss of life would be great, but the auto maker neglected to, and made no effort to inform us or the public of such issues, and deliberately made this a disposable vehicle to encourage financial losses to vehicle owners and increase auto sales. I for one have been satisfied with this vehicle till now, being it has been properly maintained since it's purchase in 2015, by a reputable certified auto maintenance and repair shop, I also feel that being the auto maker is familiar with this defect and the amount of complaints and costs related to the power train failure, that they should take responsibility for this defect.
My vehicle is at 95,000 miles, and the RPM has begun fluctuating when it shouldnt be. At idle power, it tends to stay around 1,500-1,800 RPM when it should be between 700-1,300 RPM. On the road, and on the highway, the RPM bounces erratically, and the automatic CVT transmission shifts considerably hard between gears when my speed drifts between 25-45 MPH and sometimes near highway speed. Harder than it used to. I have to apply extra braking to stop my car when at stop signs or traffic lights or parking. Turning does fine, though the engine drives harder than it should due to the higher rpms. I have been looking up what causes this, and everyone and everything says my transmission is going out. Automatic transmissions shouldn't be failing before 100,000 miles. This has been happening to loads of other people who own nissans with CVT transmissions. And I believe an investigatiom by the federal safety agency is warranted. As well as a recall by nissan to fix this issue that has apparantly been going on for a few years.
It has a hard time shifting. It goes up to almost 6 RPM's before it shifts. Please let me know if this is normal. You can call me at [xxx] my name is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Car was studdering. Gradually got worse .would hesitate when pulling into traffic from a stop dont know how many times I have almost gotten t- boned. Now transmission is completely blown. Paid 12k for a car sitting in my driveway because I dont have a few grand laying around
My care was shuttering and not shifting up and down as should. The car would shake and pause at take off. Could not accelerate properly or safely to get on high ways or on normal roads. When driving the vehicle it seems to want to shut off at times and pauses when accelerating the gas pedal. Very dangerous and the transmission is not good. I took it to dealer january 2018 and it was reprogrammed but it went right back to doing the same, slipping,shuttering shaking,pausing durring accelerating, on highway, during turns and going from complete stop, and while driving on city roads. Took back to dealer had diagnosed and its said to need a new transmission. Manufacturer refuses to fix their defective CVT transmission.. The car has had it's normal services.
Transmisin is failing. I report for extended warranty with carmax, they state to make a report since supposedly warranty had expired.
The transmission does want to change from fist to second , very high rpms and I have too let off the gas and it changes but not very smooth
While driving vehicle on parkway it started losing power. As I was driving, the engine would rev but it would not pick up speed. Then as I was driving up the hill to my house the car stopped moving, but it was still on. Now the car jerks as ur driving and will not pick up speed.
Was driving the car in on busy street the transmission started not changing and was wizzing would not pickup speed then it just stopped in middle of traffic
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.
This vehicle went from 60 MPH to less than 30 with the rpms over 5000 on the robert f kennedy bridge. If it wasn't for the fast thinking person behind her this would've resulted in a major accident. She was not able to go over 30 with the rpms over 5000 all the way to long island. Took it to the nissan dealer and it is the CVT transmission she needs a new transmission her vehicle is less than two years old that she has had it she bought it with 51,000 miles on it it now has 75,100 miles on it the dealer will not take responsibility for the bad transmission they want us to pay over $2000 to fix. They will not stand by their product and fix it and less we come up with $2000 this is a known problem with nissan and there's CVT transmissions can you help the car is still sitting at nissan because we do not have the money nor would we expecting to have to come up with this large sum
This vehicle was bought for my college-aged daughter to drive to work and school. She was stranded in north carolina when the car failed to accelerate, the engine revved high and the car "just died." I managed to get it back to tennessee and drove it myself. While turning left across traffic, the car did not accelerate at all. If it had been a busy time of day, the results could have been catastrophic for my family. I had my mechanic of 30 years look at the car, he says it needs a new transmission. "might can drive it for a while but I wouldn't let your daughter get in it." this car is only 4 years old and needs a new transmission??? Plus it is a death trap for my daughter who is a young driver? I need some advice for this please.
Car has a little less than 35000 miles. The car has terrible problems engaging any gear. Transmission is wasted. I was going to cambria from orange county. I felt the car a little weird arriving in cambria, but it still ruined. As I was coming to orange county, the car abandoned me in the freeway. I had to take it off the highway and drive through streets to my house. Car is broken.
