2014 Nissan Versa: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Sep 9, 2021 · Transmission · NV

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.

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.

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.

On 10/11/2016 my cars check engine light came on for the first time ever since I bought the car, while I was driving home from work on the freeway, my car would shift hard trying to get into a higher gear and then when I pressed on the gas pedal you could hear the car accelerate but it would not shift and aside of the check engine light coming on that is why I brought it into the dealership and they diagnosed it as well as found out there was an outstanding recall on the CVT program in that year make and model of car. Mind you this is the first I hear of such recall when I have had this car for over a year and this such recall came out on 08/12/2015. I never received anything via mail, email, or phone. I have not changed my address nor phone number in years so I don't see why they did not get in contact with me or my dad. I believe that if this was taken care of last year when this all came about I would not have to be in this situation where they treating me with such disrespect and as if I don't know my rights as a customer. I was given the run around at one dealership and the other dealership was "on my side" and all I want is my car to be fixed and not be taken advantage of because I am a female.
