AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2013, MILEAGE WAS 17,000 I COMPLAINED (VERY LOUDLY) ABOUT THE NOISE.... ONE OF THE TECH'S TOOK IT FOR A HARD TEST DRIVE AND BLOW UP THE ENGINE. THEY SAID MY ENGINE WAS GONE AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT WHICH THEY DID DO. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO ASK SHOULD THE WARRANTY START OVER? I COPIED AND PASTED THIS BUT ADDED MY OWN STUFF TO IT! YOU CANNOT DETECT A BAD ENGINE BEARING WITH A COMPUTER SENSOR.... YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR BRAIN....... SOMETHING THAT HAS GONE WITH THE TIMES:( *TR

I REPORTED THIS TO THE RENTAL AGENCY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE INDICATORS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND THAT IT HAD NO TURN OR HIGH BEAM INDICATORS. THESE ARE BASIC SAFETY DEVICES TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF THE THESE FUNCTIONS. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON US ROADWAYS. ACCORDING TO WHAT I READ IN A DOCUMENT PUBLISHED BY THE U. S. DOT THESE ARE REQUIRED, SO I WONDER HOW THESE VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED IN THE U.S. THE DOCUMENT IS PUBLICATION NUMBER TP-108-13. PLEASE ADVISE ABOUT THIS. *TR

• 12/21/2017· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  MOISTURE GETS INTO THE SEALED TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAUSING A SHORT WHICH THEN CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT THINKS YOU HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY CAUSE THE TAILLIGHTS TO FAIL AND MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS.

• 12/21/2015· POWER TRAIN

  I HAD THE 60,000 SERVICE DONE ON THIS CAR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON DEC 14, 2015. PART OF THAT SERVICE INVOLVED INSPECTING THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FLUID. APPARENTLY IT WAS OK. SIX DAYS LATER MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT TO NEW ORLEANS AND IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS CLOSE BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIFT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A NEW ORLEANS AREA DEALER AND ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3900. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. THIS IS A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE ALSO HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT ABOUT THAT SAME MILEAGE. SEVERAL HAVE HAD THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST LIKE MINE DID.

• 12/21/2015· POWER TRAIN

  I TOOK THE CAR FOR A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND TWO MONTHS LATTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH WILL JUST DECREASES IN SPEED UNTIL IT STOPS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SPEED SENSOR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 78, 987 MILES ON IT, I WAS LOOKING ON LINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION USED BY NISSAN. MOST COMPLAINTS SAID AFTER THE DEALER REPAIRED THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION IT FAILED. WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF FILING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION?

  WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ALMOST ANY SPEED ABOVE 15MPH THE CAR HAS JERKY SHIFTING MOVEMENTS LIKE IT CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT GEAR. WHILE TRAVELLING AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED "VALVE BODY" REPLACEMENT. THAT COST AN ASTOUNDING $2100+ TO FIX. GOT IT BACK AND THE PROBLEM IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. CHECKED ONLINE AND TONS OF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. NISSAN HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS JUNK. I'M OUT BIG MONEY AND THEY ARE LIKELY TO RECOMMEND MORE "FIXES" FOR THE ISSUE.

  FOR A 2012 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN AUTOMATIC. THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED OUT 6 MONTHS AGO SOMETIMES NOT SHIFTING UP TO HIGHER GEARS WHEN I WAS DRIVING. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION JUST WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT ALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WITHOUT EVEN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW CAR. AFTER THAT I WENT TO CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION AND PAID FOR THEM TO TEST IT AND THEY ALSO SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT. I THEN WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND BOUGHT A DIFFERENT CAR AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE NISSAN VERSA A HANDFUL OF TIMES SINCE UNTIL I COULD GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW THE TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS UP WHILE DRIVING AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING IT TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WON'T ACCELERATE OR ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AT ALL, IT HAS TO BE TOWED. THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW ONE.
