I've had issues with my car since the day I bought it. It takes a while for it to actually accelerate and I've had serious issues since 60k miles and I took it in to the dealer multiple times and asked if they could look into it. The second that my warranty expired is when they let me know that I needed to get my transmission fluid changed, but then it turned out to be my transmission, and then they kept going back and forth and didn't want to do it before because it was under warranty. There have been several times on the freeway where it stalls and won't go more than 20mph. It is very scary when this happens and I've had to pull over multiple times to stop and then be able to go again. I've always been on top of the maintenance and I'm hoping with the recall that they are able to assist with replacing the transmission at no cost. I don't see myself ever buying a nissan vehicle again.

My 2012 versa, won't shift gears, stalls and even with the gas all the way down, it won't accelerate. Took it to nissan rossen in milwaukee, wi. For a diagnostic, result: transmission failure, cost to replace it $4,200.00. I see a lot of complaints for the same issue. Also if there is a recall for that why my VIN number is not included? Nissan should be liable for that issue and repair the affected cars. Note : my transmission went off at 53000 miles.

There were also times the vehicle would stall or pull back while slowing down and speeding up in traffic. I visited midas to have the vehicle repaired and after diagnosis, they attempted to save the transmission by replacing the fluid. This attempt was not successful and they determined the transmission would need to be replaced. This is a fairly new car and should not have this issue. There is a transmission recall for a slightly different model of the nissan versa 2012, but not the nissan versa sl 2012. This should also be on the recall list.
