I’ve had problems with this car from day one. All manor like Ac and heater going out that’s OK. All issues I can deal with in time. But Now this can’t handle I’ve had to actually stop driving my vehicle. The check Engine light starts to flash then the car doesn’t want to shift feeping like your about to blow up the car if you go over 20mph. transmission start to jerk and sUpper like your not get fuel or something. It’s been missing up so bad not to mention it’s freakin scary and you terrified you’ve got to pull it over. Turn off the car try again. I’ve had to leave my vehicle at random places multiple times too scared to drive it home. Now I tried to finally look at the problem to see what it might be happening cus nobody else seems to know what the issue is. And I see there several people with the same issue on the 2012 Nissan Versa.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle is moving in forward direction always even if the gear shift is in Park or Reverse mode. It is scary. It put us lot of stress in terms of physical health, mental health and finance. We nearly met with an accident as vehicle was moving always in forward direction as soon as we moved the car from the parking lot. We towed the vehicle considering our and public safety. Contacted Nissan dealership and consumer affairs team. They went only by the books. Told that there is no recall. They did not seem to care about the safety. They asked me to go ahead and shell out for fixing. The same vehicle stopped in the middle of the road with heavy jerk/forward movement. We were lucky that we did not meet with an accident. We had to tow the vehicle in that case. I had to replace fuel pump at my own cost. With multiple safety concerns on this vehicle, I am surprised that there is no recall on this model. At the least, I was expecting this for my VIN. Request you to help on the recall considering the public safety. With vehicle few thousand dollars worth still, I may need to review and make a choice on disposing this vehicle (not sell) by taking the financial hit. Financial hit in this uncertain situation means a lot to me. It puts pressure. Since I care about public safety, I am reviewing this as the last choice. Nissan does not seem to be worried as there is no recall. Correct option is to have this vehicle recalled. Request you to review and help from safety perspective
When filling vehicle up with gas it starts pouring out under the vehicle and when driving it when I turned around a curb gas poured all over the road.

For a 2012 nissan versa sedan automatic. The CVT transmission started out 6 months ago sometimes not shifting up to higher gears when I was driving. Very shortly after the transmission just wouldn't engage at all. I took it to the dealership and they told me I need a new transmission without even a diagnostics test and immediately tried to sell me a new car. After that I went to certified transmission and paid for them to test it and they also said I need a new transmission and that there has been several complaints about the CVT. I then went somewhere else and bought a different car and have only driven the nissan versa a handful of times since until I could get a new transmission. Now the transmission never shifts up while driving and today I was driving it to get a new transmission and it won't accelerate or engage the transmission at all, it has to be towed. The transmission will be replaced with a brand new one.
Takata recall we live on the coast was there is a lot of moist
The car would continue to stall in extreme temperatures we brought the nissan in multiple times for service with regards to the problem and they would just advise us to use higher octane fuel this did not remedy the problem they then claimed it needed a new fuel pump the car was stalled in the middle of intersections and became very dangerous so we had to turn the car back in which negatively affecting our credit
