  TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHICH CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS WHEN TRAFFIC IS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN WHEN NISSAN SLOWS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. APPEARS THAT 2014 HAD A RECALL BUT THAT RECALL IS NOT HONORED FOR 2013 NISSAN VERSA. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION BEFORE THE CAR IS EVEN PAID OFF

• 12/18/2017· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY HEAT SHIELD SCREWS COMING UNDONE ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMMON ON A NISSAN VERSA. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH A SUITABLE REMEDY, SO THE SCREWS OR CLAMPS ON THE HEAT SHIELD DOESN'T CONTINUE TO LOOSEN UP. THE RATTLING NOISE IS VERY ANNOYING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DISTRACTION IT CAUSES. THE ONLY WAY TO CURRENTLY TIGHTENING THE SCREWS OR REPLACE THEM IS TO BRING IT TO A GARAGE AND HAVE THE VEHICLE PUT ON A LIFT, WHICH IS AN EXPENSE, SINCE THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE WELL AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE DEALERSHIP SO CALLED FIXED MY LOOSENED OR REPLACED MY LOST CLAMPS SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM STILL EITHER TIGHTENING THE CLAMPS OR REPLACING THEM TWO YEARS AFTER MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I DON'T SEE THIS PROBLEM STOPPING. I BOUGHT TWO VERSAS ON THE SAME DAY, SO I NOW HAVE DOUBLE TROUBLE AND DOUBLE THE BILLS TO CONTINUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AT BEST. IT'S BASICALLY A CHEAP THIN FOIL THAT IS THE HEAT SHIELD, WITH THE HOLE FOR THE CLAMPS WIDENING FROM THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE, OR THE CLAMPS JUST LOOSEN FROM THE VIBRATION. THERE ARE SEVERAL CAUSES FOR THE HEAT SHIELD COMING UNDONE. I WOULD SAY INSTALLING A MORE RIGID MATERIAL FOR THE HEAT SHIELD AND BETTER QUALITY FASTENERS WITH LOCK WASHES WOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

  my car is 7 years old but has only 57,000 miles on it. i had an older car so used that most of the time and saved this car. i have had endless problems with this car with its electrical system, the headlights go out all of the time and now the undercarriage is costing me alot of repair costs. dont know if i am being ripped off because i am a female senior citizen or the car is really fallingj apart at 57,000 miles. i paid well over $600 for repairs on exhaust system. now they tell me i owe almost $2,000 for repairs on something called abushing and a control arm and if i dont fix it the car will fall apart into two pieces. i have no way to get under the car for this kind of thing. i can so easily be ripped off. i need help. does the govt ever give any help to people. i need help b adly becuase i am so vulnerable tocrooked dealerships wanting to make money in this bad economy. pllease help me.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzGllMLMMCnCVlTQDxQldZvZzwhN?projector=1&messagePartId=0.1

• 12/03/2013· TIRES

  I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN VERSA SV ON MAY 11, 2013. ON DECEMBER 1, 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD FEEL MY STEERING WHEEL PULL TO THE LEFT. THEN THE ENTIRE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. MY BACK LEFT TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAD 6,200 MILES ON IT, MY TIRES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD FOR 60,000 MILES. I TOOK THE NEAREST EXIT AND PARKED IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. THANKFULLY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CAME VERY QUICKLY. THE PERSON WHO ASSISTED ME WAS SHOCKED THAT I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT AND NO DAMAGE OCCURRED. WHEN HE TOOK THE TIRE OFF, WE LOOKED FOR DAMAGE TO THE TREAD, A NAIL OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BLOWOUT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TREAD. THE TIRE LITERALLY CAME APART FROM THE SIDE (THE PART OF THE TIRE YOU SEE WHEN LOOKING AT THE CAR FROM THE SIDE). I BELIEVE I HAVE A DEFECTIVE TIRE(S) AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT ALL SEASON TIRES. *TR

  the undercarriage of my car seems to be falling into pieces. the car has only 57,000 miles on it. it has sat in my driveway for 7 years because i had another nissan, my sentra, which i had for l5 years and it never had undercarriage issues. and i never had all these issues with my sentra that i am having with this versa now that i am free to drive it since i got rid of my sentra after l5 years. the dealer says power control arms pressure forceing grees to be released. and heat shield, repair heat shield ripped off bolts and causing rattling under vehicle. i just paid a $600 bill to that same dealer for that same areas of work not that long ago. why is my nissan falling apart. i had a sentra i had for l5 years and never had trouble with the undercarriage like this. i cant afford these big repair bills. the milage is very low for all these things to go wrong when i never had them go wrong on the sentra for l5 years. did ghosn steal money from versa?

  Car won’t accelerate past 25mph and is very loud. I took it to a Nissian dealer service center and they told me that they can’t get the code to come up for a transmission but they think that’s the problem. However, the Nissans that came out in 2013 with my make and model had bad transmissions and Nissan won’t help or cover the transmission expenses that existed at the time of manufacturing.

BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT BEING RUN OVER BY THE SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY WITH ME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS 'DEFECTIVE' AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, I FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT AND ONE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ALREADY SETTLED OVER THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOT BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CORRECTION? THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT CHEAP, AND THOSE OF US PAYING FOR THEM DID NOT PURCHASE A DISPOSABLE VEHICLE!

I DROVE ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I DROVE ON A VILLAGE MAIN ST AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 25 MPH. IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED OR WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STRAIGHT OR TURNING: WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. AFTER THAT, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS ANOTHER CLUNKING NOISE. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE BRAKES. I ASKED A PASSENGER TO JOIN ME TO TEST THE NOISE AND EVEN LET THEM DRIVE. THEY CONFIRMED. THE NOISE SUDDENLY STOPPED AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ONCE IT STOPPED WE PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND SMELLED WHAT SEEMED TO BE BRAKE FLUID.

  LAST NIGHT SUDDENLY ON THE HIGHWAY I-95 IT LOST A POWER. TO BE MORE EXACT, IT SEEMED LIKE TRANSMISSION STUCK ON THE HIGH (4TH) GEAR. ON PARKING OR NEUTRAL GEAR POSITIONS WHEN I PRESS GAS PEDAL, ENGINE REACTS AND INCREASES RPMS, MAKES NOISE, ETC BUT WHEN ON THE DRIVE POSITION, IT BARELY MOVES, LIKE IF YOU TRY TO START FROM 4TH OR 5TH GEAR. THIS MORNING I BROUGHT IT TO THE AUTONATION PEMBROKE PINES NISSAN DEALERSHIP (PEMBROKE PINES, FL). AFTER INSPECTION THEY GAVE ME THE SUCH A SURPRISING CONCLUSION: PROBLEM WITH TAIL LIGHT CAUSED MIS-FUNCTIONING OF TRANSMISSION. AND THE TAILLIGHT WAS FUNCTIONING WELL, NOT DAMAGED. BUT THEY TOLD, HIS ELECTRIC RESISTANCE WAS WRONG. AFTER REPLACING THE TAIL LIGHT TRANSMISSION STARTED WORKING. IT'S REALLY VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT MISFUNCTIONING (WRONG ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE) OF THE TAIL LIGHT CAN AFFECT THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD REALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES OR EVEN LOOS OF LIFE. IT WAS VERY FORTUNE FOR ME THAT I DISCOVERED THIS ISSUE WHEN I WAS TAKING AN EXIT RAMP I FOUND SIMILAR HISTORIES DESCRIBED HERE HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/2013-NISSAN-SENTRA-TRANSMISSION-ISSUES-POWER-LOSS-T584502.HTML AND HERE HTTPS://ANSWERS.YAHOO.COM/QUESTION/INDEX?QID=20131125173224AAB6P8P. *TR
