My car shut off while I was stopped at a stop sign. The radio and air were still on. The car would not move. In order for me to move the vehicle, I had to put it into park, turn the ignition switch to off and turn the ignition back to on. Basically turn it all the way off and restart the vehicle.

The car don't runs good!, have problems with the transmission only have 47,677 miles, o think have warranty!
Feb. 10th 2020 CVT transmission started shuddering and then broke down in valdosta georiga. Valdosta nissan said transmission was not covered under recall from class action suit. Had transmission replaced at valdosta transmission with remanufactured nissan transmission on feb. 13th 2020. Drove 992 miles to jackson mich. Started having problems with newly installed transmission so bright the 201( nissan versa to jackson nissan. Was informed by service manager jamie baldwin that transmission failed due to transmission cooling tube in radiator failed. Of course the radiator failure was not covered anymore from the earlier class action radiator suit. I also filed a claim with consumer affair nissan, case #39608867. The representative (austin) I spoke with denied the claim. I've tried to reach austin (615) 725-7582 a few times to get any documentation that was used for his decision to deny this claim, but he has not returned any of my calls. I believe that nissan has an obligation to the consumer when they have sold defective CVT transmissions and radiators.

Please tell the government or whoever is the biggest boss of car manufacturer nissan to punish nissan severely and extremely for making unsafe cars that puts consumer a t a severe safety risk. For their transmissions, shocks, struts, everything in the car. Ever since I got the car in october 2016 I have to bring it to the shop every 2-3 months, there is always something wrong with the car, october 2019 I had to replaced the fan, before that the motor mounts, the shocks needs to be replaced, the struts too, the airbag light came on and stays on, multiple problems with the car.. Replaced the transmission before and the transmission needs to be replaced again. The car jiggles, waddle, the shock, struts, gets starts to worn out at 20,000 miles, at 50, 60, 70, 80,000 miles the car extremely unstable when driving on the highway. It feels so light, feels like its wheels will break or pull off to one side. Car is physically unstable and bounce way too much. The car motor mounts makes so much clicking noise, brakes terrible. Major car safety hazard. 90.000 miles currently car is not safe to drive due to transmission problems mechanic said and I cannot repair it. Please make nissan refunded me my money & take full responsibility for their faulty car. Their is a current class action lawsuit against them for their faulty transmissions will stop working on the nissan versa and sentra cars from 2013-2017 year models. And even if you replace the transmission it will fail after 30,000 miles. Please make nissan pay for their fraudulent car parts that they made that is going to not work soon. For a month I also drove a 2019 nissan sentra rental brand new car at 1000 miles. At 5,000 -7,000 miles the car transmission makes so much noise. Nissan sentra and verssa cars are not safe. Nissan needs to be punished extremely and severely for putting people's safety at risk..
12/5/2018 I replaced the transmission on the nissan versa 2015 at 37,000 miles. 2 months at 42,000 miles later car making noise not knowing what it is, after many car checks with auto mechanics. On september 2019 at 93,000 miles I received a post card about a class action lawsuit filed by nissan owners against 2013-2017 nissan versa and sentra cars ''CVT' transmissions not properly working to not working at all. I finally had the car checked and the nissan only mechanic said my 2015 nissan versa is not safe to drive due to the transmission not working properly and it needs to be replaced for a third time at mossy nissan houston, tx. Its extremely not fair. Nissan manufacture fail to provide 100% of repair cost and refuse to take full responsibility of the pain and suffering their terrible car transmission cause me. Many people and transmission repair shops knows nissan transmissions are not good. You can replace a nissan transmission today and the same year or next year you have to replace the transmission again. Its extremely not fair what nissan manufacturer & dealership did. Ii replaced the first transmission at 37,000 miles in year 2 of owning my car , at 42,000 or 50,000 miles the transmission starts going bad. And year 3 at 93,000 I have to replaced again. That is a major highway safety hazard. The reason I did not have a major accident with this car I strongly believe, is because I prayed everyday when I start driving for jehovah god to protect me, not to have an accident, and not to kill anyone with this car. So every 30,000 miles or every year you have to replace the transmission on a nissan versa depending how much you drive for the year.. I had to deal with extreme stress been in the hospital 3 times. Please make money greedy nissan pay for their deliberate fraud act. I don't drive the car because its unsafe to drive with a very bad transmission.

Cvt transmission, whines shutters sometimes you have to either let off of the gas or give it more gas for it to change gears when driving on the road. I have had it to the dealership and since there is no light on the dash and no codes nissan will not fix it I have had it to the shop multiple times

3 years after purchase, the car has stalled on a cross state trip. Lost the purchase of the trip and time. Vehicle check engine light turned on and vehicle cuts off. Started up, vehicle lurches forward and stops again. Called a tow-truck-- hauled into a nissan dealership, who informs that the transmission needs replacing. Cvt transmission is installed on vehicle.

I purchased a used 2015 nissan versa from drivetime back on 04/20/18 with 46,732 miles on it. I have had it for almost 8 months and it now has close to 60,000 miles. I started having problems with driving here in the last couple months with the car shutting down, transmission jerking & transmission slipping. I took it to a repair shop who advised me that the transmission needs to be replaced. They quoted me between $2000.00 to $4000.00 depending if I buy a used or new transmission. I checked online and see that this is well know problem with nissan vehicles, with their CVT transmission. It shows that they extended the warranty out to 10 years and 120,000 on some of the their vehicles with the CVT transmission. However, I just called my local nissan dealership and they advised me that my vehicle is not covered under this extended warranty. I would like to file a complaint and advise that this is a safety issue. For the car to shut down in the midle of the highway while im driving it, could result in me being involved in a serious accident or being killed. Please let me know what remedies I have going forward with this issue. Thank you.
When I first purchase the nissan versa 2015 in sept. 2015, the car was used it had 15,000 miles on it. I test drove it a little bit when I tried to drive it off I noticed the transmission was acting up before I got off the stockton dealership. I brought it back and they test drove it. They said yes there is something wrong and replace it. Now, I am thinking back, the dealership knew the transmission was not working correctly. Before I purchased the car. The dealership convinced me to get the extended warranty. I am thinking why is a brand new car with 15,000 miles on it.. So, it took about a month to replace the transmission and it drove ok. Then in 2017, I noticed a small slipping noise, like a small drumroll every now and then. Then finally I took the car to oakland dealership in 2017 around 88,000 miles. They couldn't locate the transmission problem or noise. In a few days, I pick up the car and as soon as I drove it I hear the slipping drumroll sound. I took it back and the dealership said we tested and the transmission was fine. I was discouraged with the results, now it jan 2019, many months later, and transmission slipping and expired warranty. The transmission slipping, more frequent loud drumroll noise and shaking while trying to accelerate the car. I looked it up on google and I noticed that nissan doubled the extended warranty on their transmission. Today, I went to the oakland dealership and they said my nissan versa is not under that extended warranty. How can this be? There are hundreds of complaints and failures about the nissan transmission. Nissan and dealership knew about the transmission failure in the versa. Right now, I feel the car is unsafe to drive on the street because the transmission will fail an any given time and driving condition. Please recall all nissan versa and have the company fix this recurring transmission issue.
On both city streets and highways. Accelerator will stick and or clutch is not properly engaging as specific vehicle has a manual transmission. Causing the vehicles RPM to go up higher then recommended.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan versa. While driving various speeds, the check engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle bucked and shuddered. The vehicle was taken to reed nissan (3776 w. Colonial dr, orlando, fl) where it was diagnosed that an engine sensor was faulty. The sensor was replaced, but the bucking continued. Also, the vehicle would not accelerate above 30 MPH. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.
I bought this versa brand new at the dealership. After a year from the purchase date the dealer went out of business and was bought out. The first year I had it I came in often with transmission problems, but was told it was nothing and to give it more gas when it acted like it was having troubles. Everytime I went for an oil change, even my first oil change, they would come back with 600 dollars worth of filters or the brake fluid needed to be changed. I quit going there for my car, because of the constant pressure to spend money on issues I wasnt having. They never wanted to look at the transmission or anything. Now after 65k the transmission has been replaced, my running taillights do not work, some unknown electrical issue, and the car just turns off on it's own with no warning. Before the tranny went out I was driving 70 MPH down the interstate and the car shut off with no warning nearly causing an accident with a semi, the dealer does not want to fix that problem bc it can not replicated. That's their answer to any problem that's not expensive or quick. If it can not be replicated then your lying as I have been told. I was also told that all versa's sold would need a new tranny after 40k. Now nissan north america nor the dealer wants to pay for their mistakes. I need help getting this resolved soon.
Sitting at a red light, accelerated when it turned green and car would not move. Finally did move enough to pull into a parking lot. Had car towed over 150 miles back to austin, texas and dropped off at lamb's tire & automotive on w. Slaughter lane. Transmission needed to be replaced. Brand new would have been about 6500.00. Rebuilt about 1/2 that amount. Did not fix. Had it towed back to our house where it still sits in the driveway.

Our nissan versa has had to have its transmission replaced at 24,711 miles. While driving to work, the car completely died while I was driving in traffic. The transmission was replaced at the nissan dealership. Now at 33,xxx miles it sounds like it is going bad again. When we purchased the vehicle from the nissan dealership, it was a certified used vehicle with 87 miles on it. The electrical in the car is also having problems. Our stereo display does not always work and the USB and charge ports are also not up to standard.
Transmission failure/ transmission pressure fluctuates/internal grinding/transmission grinds and bangs going into gear. All happens when in motion.
My 2015 nissan versa transmission has gone out and it only has 79k miles I purchased it brand new in oct of 2015. I am just checking to see if the transmission was installed in 2014 since those transmissions were recalled on the 2014 versas were used in the 2015 versas. The transmission should not have failed with that mileage. I am sure nissan is aware of this issue with customers, as I have found several complaints from nissan versa owners. We need a recall on these vehicles consumers simply cannot pay thousands of dollars to have them replaced this is a manufacturers defect and nissan should be made to pay for the total repairs to replace these transmissions on all the 2015 versas, maybe you could look into this. My car is at the dealership waiting to be inspected as they are two weeks behind and now I have to rent a vehicle to get to work. Please take this complaint into serious consideration.
