My 2014 Nissan Versa has been acting strange after giving a family member a jump. Now my transmission seems to slip; I would put my foot on the gas and the rpm will sometimes be stuck at 3 for longer than normal. In addition, my back driver seat lock/latch stopped unlocking all of a sudden.

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.

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.

2014 nissan versa CVT transmission...we bought this car brand new from the dealer has been nothing but a pain transmission blew out at 70 thousand miles. I had it serviced at 60 thousand for all fluids and filters dealer told me it was in great condition I was mid way home from dropping my niece off home and the versa started slipping gears and shuddering I almost caused a 5 car accident if I hadn't pulled out the way of the car behind me. Imagine if I had my niece in the car what could have happened if we did crash because of the problem and nissan will not take any responsibility for the problem. They want 3800.00 to fix it. I am one of thousands of victims of nissan not recalling there cars knowing they put out a horrible and dangerous product out on the roads.

Bought my car brand new in 2014. Almost immediately started having transmission stalling and slipping issues within two months. My car stalled out and died on the freeway in the middle of rush hour traffic. I went to my nissan dealership to have it looked at and fixed under warranty. They did not fix it, nor do I think they even looked at it. My car stalls, slips, grinds and vibrates every time I gas it. There have been a handful of other times my car has stalled out and died in the middle of a busy street, while driving. I've had my car for three years and I've been to my dealership many times during warranty and after warranty for this issue and each time the problem has not been resolved. There was even a recall for my transmission, in which I went to the dealership 3 times for it, and it still has not been resolved months after I received the recall notice. I've tried looking this recall up, and I cannot find it. Perhaps the dealership stated that this issue has been resolved when it has not. I do not feel safe in my car, and I feel as if the nissan dealership I bought my car from is adding to the lack of safety of my vehicle.
