Continuous Variable Transmission Assembly Failure; Engine Stalled on the Highway; around 4/25/2022 No warning lights came up. Took it to the Nissan Dealer; They charged $495 for reprogramming Computer and Test Drive. The problem came up PF17F0 - Judder. CVT Assembly has to be replaced. The car has run only 33,000 miles and is good condition. The dealer says to REPLACE the Transmission with a new ONE. They stopped installing REFURBISHED Continuous Variable Transmission Assemblyand will only sell the new ones for others to repair cars. It costs $6,500/== More than the worth of the cars. THEY WILL NOT SELL PART - creating Monopoly.
2014 Nissan Versa transmission complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 82, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was told by Nissan of Tustin, CA, that I need trans repair. I was also told that several other issues exist. For minor items that cost a healthy price. After the repairs I’m called and told I have an additional charge for rear tail lights and brake lights which occurs when repairs on the trans are done. This sounds like something that nissan knows so why not cover that in the repair? Doesn’t sound separate sounds like compound issue from trans. Is there a recall order for this issue with the Sentra, which is the same cvt transmission?
My car has a CVT transmission and it jerks and stalls when trying to change gears and sometimes gets stuck in gear. I saw that their is a recall for this issue in nissan cars (versa,Sentra,Altima’s)from years 2012-2018 issued in 2016, but when I called the dealership they said it’s not for my specific car according to the VIN number. I’m not sure why this is and I’m confused and would like to know how to resolve this issue.
Faulty Transmission. Replaced twice in 2 years. Nissan doesn't want to be responsible for 2nd Transmission. It cost $3,700 a Transmission replacement.
ON 06-23-21 my car left me stranded on the side of the road the CVT transmission wen out . I was never contacted or called or received any mail whatsoever now Nissan says that i am out of luck and good luck I am out of a car that was giving me problems for over 2 years they refuse to help or do anything about the BAD transmission
the problem in my car is ethier the transmission or transmission control module. The transmission started slipping and then suddenly on the hey of 395 north bound it simply just wouldn't do anything it had no reaction at all right in the middle of the freeway and there I was stuck people at 65-70 miles an hour whizzing by me not to mention simi trucks.tge reason I am writing is I looked up the problem at it is a very common problem with this year and make of the car. I went to nissan here in reno nv and they will not honor the recall sayes it is because of a branded title. The car had been wrecked only damaging the front bumper. Nothing to the motor or transmission was rebuilt but because it had previously been turned in as an insurance claim nissan of reno will NOT honor the recall. Any damage that was done was cosmetic not to the motor or transmission. I would like to know if nissan should honor the recalls on my vehicle. It has 98,000 miles on it and falls under the 10 year under 120,000 miles. The service person I talked to treated me like I was dumb and pretty much pushed me out the door and told me that they don't have to honor it. I am tempted to get ahold of previous owner to see if his insurance claim had anything to do with this transmission issue. It has one complaint after another on YouTube over this very issue. Please help me I don't know what to do. Thank you.
Transmission was replaced at 101000 miles, the new transmission failed at 109000 miles. Nissan will not repair it again. The first transmission had problems shifting to higher gears. The second transmission failed after backing out of my driveway. It would not move forward.
Nissan versa is tugging/misfiring during normal driving. The transmission does not shift properly, RPM gets stuck at around 3500-4500 at about 35-40 MPH. Once unstuck, the transmission shifts hard like a crunching sound, which sounds like metal grinding metal, not properly engaging shifting. The mileage is currently at 90k. The issue started around a month ago. The issue has gotten to the point that the vehicle is not safe to drive.
The car doesn't accelerate when taking off sometime. It sometimes wiil not go over 40 MPH. Its coding a input speed sensor inside of the transmission
Versa transmission started to malfunctioning at around 84,000 miles and not code on dashboard. Called nissan for warranty but they said not in warranty miles anymore. I think nissan should warm buyer and drivers about transmission problem with dashboard indications.
The car turns off while driving and waiting at a stop sign or red light. Studdering occurs with exceleration. There is also an electrical draw somewhere. If the car is not driven in 3 days, the battery must be jump started. We have replaced the battery. This has been an ongoing problem since 2017
A recall job, transmission computer upgrade, was completed by tracy nissan dealership and now my nissan versa will go no faster than 10 MPH. No indications of transmission failure were displayed upon completion of the recall correction. This car is only six years old with approximately 102,640 miles. A complaint has been logged with nissan, but my efforts have been ineffective thus far. The car was driven to the tracy nissan dealership on 10/20/2020 and kept over night. On 10/21/2020, the recall was complete and the nissan was driven away. Less than 20 minutes later, the transmission experienced a catastrophic failure while driven on the freeway. The car would go no faster than 10 MPH. On the same date, 10/21/2020, the nissan was towed back, at my expense, to the dealership where it is currently located pending discissions with nissan.
My nissan versa 2014 had to have the transmission replaced with only a little over 80,000 mile's on it. After research this is a known issue for nissan crv transmissions for vehicles including my make and model. The vehicle was in motion at the time of the issue on a secondary roadway.
Car stalling , losing speed , due to failing CVT transmission
Gearshift will not come out of park, have to manually unlock the gearshift with a paper clip; car will not accelerate correlational to the gas pedal, and the rpms go really high on inclines/hills...nissan saying not responsible/no recalls, but I'm still getting 'claims notices' from gm economic settlement claims center...the nissan dealership told me to "disregard" the notices coming in the mail....
Specifically, my transmission is starting to go bad and will need replacing. The cost is 3200. In addition the car is a 2014 nissan versa 130,000 miles. I feel after reading my complaints on line about this faulty transmission that nissan continued to install on many vehicles and endangering the owners lives nissan should either recall my car or replace the transmission at their cost .
Vehicle has started to lose acceleration power. Started hesitating to accelerate and took long to shift (this is an automatic transmission) got on the interstate and car started jerking and would not go past 10-15 MPH. Pulled over, brought gears back down to the park position, but that only made it worse. Car would not shift into gear and has been stuck now for a week. Started research on vehicle and learned many other vehicles within this class are experiencing the same problem. Nissan dealership has told me that they are not responsible and will not fix. Why not?? They apparently built a faulty vehicle. They should fix the problem. Looks like I'll be getting a lawyer.
My car have 117 k miles and tha tranzmition is bad all tha nissan car are like tha
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed to the floorboard however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and stalled with an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
Problems with transmission. Rpm go very high and it won't switch gears, then after struggling it will switch gear but jerk the car very hard and you can hear it switch very hard. It does does in the street and highway. Makes me very concerned about getting on a highway and my transmission failing to switch to higher gears and other cars hitting me for not being able to go into faster speeds. The vehicle is not even at the 50k miles yet.
I was driving up a hill in ventura when the car lost power and started to roll backwards. Prior to that the car would jerk like it would go into gear and would hesitate. Finally the car would go forward and I had to stop at vons for the car to be towed. I was 58 miles from home. It was really scary but I was fortunate there were no other cars behind me and the car did not run off the ledge.
I was driving on a 2 lane highway at 55 MPH and came to a four-way stop. I stopped completely and waited for crossing traffic, then pushed on the accelerator. The engine was still running but the transmission would not engage. I was able to ease the car to the side of the road, turned it off and allowed it to cool for about five minutes, then restarted it. This time, the gears engaged, but the car began to shudder before it moved forward. From reading other accounts, it appears that the transmission is failing. This vehicle is just 5 years old and has less than 100k miles on it. After that, I took back roads home, and did not bring the vehicle to a full stop until I reached my house.
Problems accelerating, losing power, sputtering stalling out, jerking when shifting gears, loud clank when putting in drive.
I have a 2014 nissan versa. I got this car new and every year since owning this car there has been a issue with the transmission. Nissan has had at least 3 recalls on the transmission. It has gotten to the point that the transmission is beyond repair on a 5 year old car. The transmission sensor and transmission has malfunctioned. The car will stall for a second before going into gear. Mechanic shops said I need nissan to repair this or put me in a new car! I am complaining because I am in a death trap vehicle that I am still required to make payments on. I am having to pay high maintenance fees and car payments. In a car that can get me killed. Nissan knows something is wrong with these 2014 cars but has not reached out to me about it. They recalled some 2014 versas but not all. I strongly believed I was sold a highly unsafe car. There's no reason why a new car should have transmission issues every year on a new car.
The CVT transmission has been known since 2004 to have major problems. The car needs a new transmission it has been slipping when driving and it wont down shift when you get going. Nissan has many lawsuits against them but they wont help me at all.
Vehicle hesitates and cuts off while driving. Check engine light is on and says there's a transmission issue
I was on a city street and stopped for the red light. When the light changed and I pressed the gas it would move. I slowly got it to move, but once I had to slow down again and put my foot on the gas it would barely move and the car in back of me almost hit me. While in motion it would become where putting my foot on the gas would be in vain. That happened several times and I could hardly make it to my home. Once I tried to back up I could hear a sound from the transmission. I'm not sure if it's the transmission supports or something else. I was not able to make it to get checked out because I was afraid of getting into an accident. The car is a 2014 nissan versa sv and has 79,589 total miles today. It was a very scary situation. This is very unsafe because it happened without warning.
Car transmission made complete stop and not allow me to move several times
I purchased the car in 2018 at over 72k and it is now 94k, the transmission is bad now. Everytime I hit the gas, the RPM jumps up to 4000-5000. Eats up all the gas quickly. Sometimes it would shake when I let go of the gas pedal. It started july 2019 and per mechanic, I will need to get rid of the car.
Previously, the transmission of my vehicle was affected when the motherboard of a tail lamp malfunctioned. I was informed by the nissan service agent that this caused a signal to be sent to the transmission that indicated the vehicle should be going in reverse. This causes the transmission to falter and the car stutters and/or stalls while trying to accelerate. I have looked up a few accidents, which appear to have been caused by a failure to accelerate, but no one has looked into the tail lamp assembly, because no one would think it would have an impact. I have also spoken with an electrical engineering expert who stated that it is possible for electrical malfunctions to impact the transmission, since the bulk of the wiring is hooked up to it instead of the battery. Now my car is once again experiencing this potentially life threatening issue. However, while it is a known issue, there are no recalls or repair tickets for the tail lamps which cause the problem. In newer tail lamp assemblies, the issue has been fixed. However, the original motherboards with the 2014 nissan versa body style can start to malfunction at any time.
