  MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA S WILL NOT EXCEED 23 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON 12/26/15 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SEVERAL HOURS LATER SAYING THE CAR WAS FINE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN 12/28/15 I WAS LEAVING A FROM A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 23MPH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DRIVE IT SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT I MEANT. THEY DID DRIVE IT AND SAID THEY WILL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND WOULD DIAGNOSE MORE TOMORROW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SURE,.

  INTERMITTANT SHUDDER, VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. VEHICLE HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT; THIS STARTED PROBABLY AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. BOUGHT IT NEW FALL 2013. HAVE MENTIONED IT TO KRENZEN MOTORS IN DULUTH, MN. THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT BUT HAVE NOT FELT THE SHUDDER. HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WHEN I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY IS 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I'VE REALLY LIKED THE CAR AND HAVE HAD ONLY A FEW OTHER MINOR PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSURE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY OUT OF TOWN. MY SON HAD A SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 NISSAN INCLUDING LACK OF ACCELERATION. THEY TRADED THE CAR RIGHT AWAY.

• 12/12/2023· STEERING,POWER TRAIN

  We bought a Nissan Versa Note 2014 in March of 2023. It currently has 74K miles. The transmission is shot. It doesn't want to shift, and revs up to high rpm's. We have had two mechanics check on it. Up to $7,000 to get fixed. The second issue is the steering. The steering gear has gone out. It makes a clicking noise when turning. This is so bad the mechanic said not to drive the car anymore. $1100 to fix. We now need to pay as much to fix the car as we owe on it.

  I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND CAME TO A FOUR-WAY STOP. I STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WAITED FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC, THEN PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO EASE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED IT. THIS TIME, THE GEARS ENGAGED, BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER BEFORE IT MOVED FORWARD. FROM READING OTHER ACCOUNTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT. AFTER THAT, I TOOK BACK ROADS HOME, AND DID NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP UNTIL I REACHED MY HOUSE.

  WENT OUT TO START CAR PUSH IN CLUTCH AND CAR ROLLED OUT INTO STREET HAD BRAKE ON BUT DID NOT HOLD AND AFTER STARTING MOTOR THE BRAKES WORKED OK WITH ENGINE RUNNING.. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL ROLL AND HIT SOMETHING. I CHECKED THREW OUT THE DAY AND FOUND THAT WHEN CAR IS NOT RUNNING YOU HAVE NO BRAKES. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER BRAKES WHEN ENGINE STOPS THEY BECOME HARD IMMEDIATELY LOSE POWER ASSIST NOT LIKE OTHER CARS WHERE YOU HAVE 2 OR 3 APPLICATIONS BEFORE BRAKE LOSS. IF PUT IN A EMERGENCY AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING YOUR BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND YOU WILL HIT SOMETHING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AND GOOD BYE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTER AND THEY SAID THEIR TECH'S SAID IT IS OK AND NORMAL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND YOU ARE ON CONCRETE THE CAR TRACKS 1.5 FEET SIDEWAYS RIGHT OR LEFT. WHEN DRIVING ON A DAY WHEN THE WIND IS 30MPH YOU GET 3 TO 4 FEET DRIFT RIGHT OR LEFT. TAKING THE CAR TO NISSAN FOR REPAIR THEY FOUND THAT YES IT DID DRIFT AND BLAMED IT ON THE ROAD AND THAT NISSAN HAD ON FIX. I DO HAVE 2 OTHER CARS WHICH HAVE THE SAME SIZE TIRES THAT DO NOT DO THE CHANGE LANE ACTION THAT IS WITH THIS CAR IS DOING. OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY NOTICED IT TO. THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN THE CAR NEXT TO YOU WILL GET DAMAGED DUE TO THIS ACTION .I `CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTER THEY HAD NO FIX.AND SAID IT MIGHT BE THE TIRES. NISSAN PUT THE TIRES ON THE CAR. *TR

  WE RECENTLY (2 NOV) PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION ,OUR PROBLEM IS WITH DOWN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH . WHEN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH THE SHIFTER WILL RANDOMLY LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PHYSICAL MOVE THE SHIFTER IN EVERY DIRECTION TILL YOU CAN SHIFT AGAIN OR IF YOU?RE LUCKY AS YOU?RE COASTING AND FIGHTING WITH THE SHIFTER IT POPS LOOSE AND YOU CAN SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SHIFT LINKAGE LOCKS UP AND THE CAR WON?T GO FULLY INTO 4TH. MY WIFE HAS TAKEN OFF WORK TWICE AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED AT OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (LEGLUE NISSAN, ALEXANDRIA, LA). BOTH TIMES SHE HAS BEEN SHE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER A SHORT TEST DRIVE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, ALL THE 2014 VERSAS SHIFT LIKE THAT. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND RECEIVED A SIMILAR ANSWER BASICALLY THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE VERSA HAS A HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 4TH BUT THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. ALSO, LET ME AT THIS TIME ALLEVIATE ANY CONCERN ABOUT US BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. WE PRESENTLY OWN FOUR PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, ONE BEING A 2009 VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM AND SEVERAL PIECES OF FARM MACHINERY AND BETWEEN BOTH OF US HAVE OVER 70 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OPERATING THEM. *TR

  NEVER HAD ISSUES UNTIL NOW BUT I'VE BEEN RANDOMLY HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING LOCKING UP ON ME. IT'S A REAL DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ONE MINUTE IT'S NORMAL AND DRIVABLE. THEN I MAY GET BACK IN THE CAR AND IT'S LOCKING UP AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE A REGULAR POWER STEERING PUMP,BECAUSE MY CAR RUNS OFF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I JUST REALLY NEED HELP FIGURING OUT THE SOURCE OF THIS ISSUE.

• 11/21/2016· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. AS I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT I BEGAN TO GRADUALLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. THE PEDAL FELT LIKE NORMAL RESISTANCE WAS THERE WHEN PUSHING ON IT WITH MY FOOT, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, LOOKED AT MY FEET TO MAKE SURE I WAS ON THE BRAKE, THEN SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL ONCE AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND LOCKED UP ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. ONCE I REALIZED THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND I REAR-ENDED THEM. AS I FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE THAT I HIT TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD ENGAGE, BUT NOT WITH THE NORMAL LEVEL OF RESISTANCE. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION WE WERE GOING TO PULL OVER AT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY. WE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION UNLESS THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. WE CHECKED BACK WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH AN INVESTIGATION AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND THAT THE FRAME IS DAMAGED.

  WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN VERSA I NEED TO LET IT WARM UP COMPLETELY. WHEN I SAY COMPLETELY I MEAN WAIT ABOUT 10-15 MIN BEFORE DRIVING OFF. IF I DO NOT MY CAR WILL STALL WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES. SOME TIMES IT DOESNT BUT NOW THAT IT IS COLDER WEATHER IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. IF I DO LEAVE BEFORE IT WARMS UP I EXPECT IT TO STALL AT THE STOP SIGN, LIGHT, TURN, OR TRAFFIC. I USUALLY HAVE TO KICK IT INTO PARK TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL ITS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES IT WONT EVEN WANT TO WORK AGAIN UNTIL ITS WARMED UP SO SOMETIMES IM JUST STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TODAY MY CAR DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I WORK ONLY ABOUT 7 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND IT STALLED 5 TIMES.

  THE CVT TRANSMISSION LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED IN ORLANDO FL. SHE LIVES IN JACKSONVILLE FL. 2.5 HOURS AWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN SHE TRIED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEAD HOME AFTER CLASS. WENT DOWN TO ORLANDO WITH MY TRUCK, RENTED A TOW DOLLY FROM U-HAUL AND TOWED THE CAR BACK TO JACKSONVILLE FL. I AM A ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. I CONNECTED MY ($600.00) LAUNCH CR129 PRO SCANNER . IT DOES OBDII, ABS, SRS, TRANSMISSION. NO CODES NO MATTER HOW IT DROVE. AFTER 3 DAYS OF TROUBLESHOOTING I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS A NEW ONE AT THE COST OF $3800.00. THE CAR HAS 66,000 MILES AND IS A 2014. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TURNED DOWN FOR ANY HELP. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH JATCO TRANSMISSIONS, THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS IT, NISSAN KNOWS IT, MITSUBISHI & SUBARU BOTH USE THE SAME JATCO TRANSMISSION AND HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ISSUES ARE WIDE SPREAD OVER MULTIPLE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND ALL OF THEM ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEMS. A 2014 WITH 66000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A TRANSMISSION. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

  MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME AFTER BUYING GROCERIES, WE WERE IN A VERY BUSY STREET, WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE WAS PEOPLE BEHIND US AND NEXT TO US. IT WAS HARD TO MOVE TO PULL OVER. FINALLY WE LEARNED OUR TRANSMISSION (CVT) WAS BROKEN. THIS WILL COST US ALMOST AS MUCH AS WE PAID FOR THE CAR. ALL THIS HAPPENED AS WE REACHED 65,000 MILES. AND CONVENIENTLY ENOUGH, THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS UP TO 60,000.

I COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING FROM EITHER DIRECTION SO I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE TURN ON TO THE ROADWAY BUT HAD NO STEERING EITHER. WITH NO WAY TO CONTROL THE CAR I ENDED UP GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, ACROSS THE ROAD, THROUGH A TREE STUMP AND INTO THE SIDE OF AN ABANDONED HOUSE. WITH THE IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT EVEN WITH AN IMPACT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUSPENSION DAMAGE ALONG WITH OTHER MAJOR BODY AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT, THE FIRST IS WHEN MY HUSBAND HIT A DEER HEAD ON AT 55MPH AND AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING TRIGGERED. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE, I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN BUT CAR QUICKLY RECOVERED. THE DASH AND RADIO HAS FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES ON AND OFF AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER AND SHUTTERS BEFORE FINALLY PICKING UP SPEED. THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WOULD SEND US ON OUR WAY AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE NON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THEY JUST STATED THAT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS, WELL NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

  I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. I GOT THIS CAR NEW AND EVERY YEAR SINCE OWNING THIS CAR THERE HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BEYOND REPAIR ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR. THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. MECHANIC SHOPS SAID I NEED NISSAN TO REPAIR THIS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR! I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I AM IN A DEATH TRAP VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON. I AM HAVING TO PAY HIGH MAINTENANCE FEES AND CAR PAYMENTS. IN A CAR THAT CAN GET ME KILLED. NISSAN KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE 2014 CARS BUT HAS NOT REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT IT. THEY RECALLED SOME 2014 VERSAS BUT NOT ALL. I STRONGLY BELIEVED I WAS SOLD A HIGHLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE'S NO REASON WHY A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVERY YEAR ON A NEW CAR.

NISSAN WON'T REPLACE OR REFUND DESPITE EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE, EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, VISITS TO THE DEALER, FURNISHING DATE STAMPED PICTURES OF RUST AREAS. NISSAN IS DRAGGING ITS FEET WITH FEEBLE EXCUSES - ' NO EXCESSIVE RUST FOUND' "RUST IS NOT AFFECTING SAFETY OF THE CAR' 'RUST NOT AFFECTING PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR' - WHICH IS WHY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. UPON TELLING THEM THAT THE DUE TO RUST, THE RESALE VALUE OF CAR IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED TO JUNK CAR VALUE - THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. FILED COMPLAINTS WITH AUTHORITIES INCLUDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUT THEY ARE SLOW TO PROCESS SO NOTHING HAS COME OF IT SO FAR AND NISSAN WON'T STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS. BBB AUTOLINE HAS SIDED WITH NISSAN AND THEY JUST PISSED ON THE LEMON LAW DOING THAT - DESPITE PROVIDING SCORES OF DATE STAMPED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE RUST AREAS. NISSAN IS NOT GIVING ME A CHARITY CAR, NOR IT IS A USED CAR THAT THEY HAVE SOLD ME. I HAVE PAID FULL PRICE WITH HIGH INTEREST FOR 6 YEARS THAT I AM GOING TO BE PAYING AND I DESERVE A RUST FREE CAR WITHOUT DEFECTS BUT NISSAN DOES NOT SEEM TO AGREE TO THAT. PEOPLE, PLEASE THINK A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE BUYING A NISSAN. A COMPANY THAT IS TRYING TO GET AWAY USING EVERY LAME EXCUSE. I AM AFRAID THAT NISSAN MAY HAVE SOLD A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS TO BUYERS, WITH RUST SIMPLY BECAUSE THE AMERICAN BUYER TRUSTS MANUFACTURERS FOR THEIR QUALITY AND INTEGRITY - BUT NOT IN CASE OF NISSAN.
