P0846 fluid pressure sensor - replacement of transmission control valve body/ replace complete transmission. I got a check engine light which showed p0846 code in mid 2018. However the check engine light disappeared after a while. The light reappeared now in 2020 showing the same faulty code. I went to dealership to check it out and they said that this is a common issue in nissans 2012 versa and that I will need to replace the transmission. They told me that the warranty has also expired as the vehicle is above 84000 miles. ( I got this light at 79k miles with the same code and it had disappeared.) I had photographed it with dates and time showing . Nissan told me that they will not help in any way and that I will need to cover the complete cost. Vehicle works pretty okay I don't feel any issues in it.

They finally took my car back and had it for 2 days. When I came down to pick it up that said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They said they pressure tested the cooling system and found no leeks and told me I was imaging thing as far as the stutter with my tranny. At approximately 32k again I was low (1/4 full) on coolant and the stutter stilled happened intermittingly. Again I took it down to the dealership. They had it for about 2 days and when I got it back they told me the same thing.

And they told me with out the check engine light coming on there was nothing they could do for my car even though it was under warranty. I have almost been in a coupe accidents because the tranny would not respond while pressing the accelerator.

I pulled up to a pump at a gas station, got out and went in the store to get a drink. Came back out and my car had locked up. The steering and brakes were both locked. Thank god I wasn't in motion when this happened. The car would not accelerate. I cut the car off and let it sit there before trying to start it again. It cranks but never turns over. There is a battery light, brake light, ps light and oil light on the dash. I researched it and everything indicated a bad alternator. I bought a nissan alternator and put it on. Still never turned over. The fuel pump runs and I put some starting fluid into the throttle body and it started but died after a five seconds. Every nissan dealership tells me they don't know what the problem is. Its my only car, I'm flat broke and I am walking 2 hours to work every day so I don't lose my job. I need to know what's wrong.
