My Transmission was replaced in 2016 at 60K miles. 3 years after the car was bought brand new. As of today the car has 114K miles. September 9, 2022 my transmission completely shut down on me. Also the check engine like came on. I have had the car only a year and the problem just came about. Im worried and concerned that the transmission should have not got out this quick for me. And also concerned as to why the original owner had the same transmission problem as me and had to replace after 3 years! I got in my car Sep 9 , 2022 and drove about 20 minutes and the car started jerking forward and the RPMs were going crazy moving so fast. I turned around to head back home, i got on the bridge and was driving about 50/55mph. The car started decreasing in speed all the way to 0. Turned the car off and tried to continue to make my way back home. I had to take back streets home and every time I stopped at a red light or stop sign the car would take a second to drive off after. I brought the car to a mechanic who told me my transmission went out. Since the car transmission was last replaced only 54,000 miles have been put on the car. The fuel for the transmission was dark.

the tail lights get moisture in them and then do not work properly. there is a service recall on them from the Nissan versa manufacturer. since there is a service recall on his issue, why is this agency not requiring a recall. obviously there is a manufacturing safety defect present here.

There is a service bulletin that explains it. Look at your tail lights and see if there is moisture in them. Of course it may not be the solution to your problem, but it is a known issue.

The transmission went out while going up a bridge. This is a known issue to these vehicles with the transmission type. It is unable to be repaired due to the high cost of this transmission type. Since this has been a known issue, it should be covered under recalls.

Takata recall: transmission blew out after 2 years of buying off the nissan lot. This happened when in route out of town for the day, car was stalling and seemed to be in neutral but actually in drive. Had to tow home after stopping and going on streets and freeways.

I bought this car in 2015, the car already had CVT issues. It used to jerk and sometimes I had to turn it on again because the car would not move. I was not aware it was a transmission problem. The RPM started to go up and down, in the hills the car would not get speed. In 2017, the car was stopping in the middle of the road to the point that I could not drive anymore, putting my life in dangerous. I went to nissan and the transmission was replaced, in july 2018 the RPM started to go up and down again. On december 31st I went to nissan and I was told that I needed to replace a transmission part, I replaced it. However, as soon as I left nissan I realized that the problem was still there. I went back to nissan they told me that water was going inside a hole in my trunk and going to the lights and it was causing the problem. I went to a trusted body shop and a mechanic to get a second opinion, both told me that the lights did not have to do with the malfunction of the car., besides there wasn't any water marks inside my truck. I went back to nissan and I was told that the light connector needed to be replaced, that was causing the problem. However, I went to my mechanic again and another repair place, both affirmed that lights has nothing to do with transmission, issues related with RPM or the car stopping in the middle of the road. There is a engine code on which shows the part that I just changed at nissan. Now I am concerned with my safety because if I stop at an intersection the car sometimes won't move, people start to honk at me. In addition it can be dangerous because in an intersection you have to be able to move your car quickly.

We own a 2013 nissan versa, with 52,310 miles. We keep great care of the car, with routine maintance checks, oil changes, tire rotations, etc. The car is housed in the midwest, thus driving on a fairly flat surface it's whole existence. The vehicle has never been in an accident. We found out we have to get a whole new transmission put in our vehicle costing $4,050. This seems outrageous as our vehicle has less miles than the average vehicle puts on each year. We also have to get new front brushing costing $387.53. This is ridiculous for a car with that little of mileage on it. It has never been in an accident of any kind. Outrageous!. The vehicle clocks when braking, going over the smallest bumps, and turning. The vahie struggles to get up to 40 MPH and has a noticeable kick to it. We took the vehicle in as soon as we noticed a problem.

Car was parked in a parking spot. It was able to move in reverse; however, when in 'drive' no power/gas was going to the vehicle. We had it towed to a service center and was told vehicle needed a new transmission.
