My engine light has always been on in my car contacted the dealership and they never cared to take care of the situation. My car has a problem with picking up speed and turning corners. Took it to a mechanic and said it-??s my transmission and that it was never good especially the cvt transmission in my 2016 Nisan versa that it was recalled and no one contacted me. I would like it fixed I-??m a single parent and I need my car

Since buying car used last summer ive have numerous scares for the car stalling jerking and shutting off while driving or slowing down and taking off. I drove over train tracks on my way home and the car jerked stalled and died luckily i made it over the tracks and there was no train. Had a mechanic look at it and said the Cvt transmission more than likely blame for this problem. After researching more this particular make model and year had numerous of the same complaints and saftey is my main concern here. Thanks

Air bag red signal on and off. It is very loose. AC compressor needs repair that cause Belt broken, pulley isn-??t working and AC condenser needed to be repair. Power Train catalyst issues. Exhaust leaking at manifold, catalyst too exhaust as exhaust connections. Oxygen sensors too slow to respond. Replace sensors with exhaust repairs.

The transmission completely went on my vehicle at 87,015 miles. I regularly drive on a major highway and had this happened while on the highway it could have been catastrophic as speeds generally exceed 70MPH on this road. The problem has been confirmed by my dealer. Nissan will not back the repair as I am 3,015 miles out of warranty. There were no warning lights prior to the failure.

Every single day multiple times a day my ABS light comes on cars transmission jerks around or whatever it is. I have to pull over and turn vehicle off and restart to drive again. I may have to do that a few times in a mile. I think it's a safety concern. It could be in motion or stopped car wants to lunge forward

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while attempting to drive up a hill, the vehicle started rolling backwards. The contact depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle from rolling backwards. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the cvt transmission needed to be repaired or replaced. Kamaaina Nissan (471 kalanianaole ave, hilo, hi 96720) was informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

On approximated on February 02, 2020 on the North bound 215 fwy existing fwy off ramp on newport blvd in menifee ca, when my 2016 Nissan Versa stall, it's on drive and not moving. No warning signs of any mechanical issues, no engine light on. I turned off the engine and restarted then I was able to drive but the RPM is moving up and down. I pulled over to the nearest gas station and called my roadside assistant through geico. The next day I drove the vehicle to pedder Nissan dealership for a diagnostic of the vehicle. The service dept return my call and notified me that my transmission is out on a less than four years old vehicles that I purchased brand new from this dealership. The dealership & Nissan consumer affair have both have given me the runs around. I see there bulletin for my vehicle model and year. I need assistance, please.

I had issues with the gears that initially the issue showed up as a problem with ac/heater not working properly, but when the mechanic examined the issue, it was an issue with gears. Soon after that, my car began to hesitate while driving and then began to smell like something burnt. The car was well maintained, I did regular maintenance as instructed in the manual, but it was around 60,000 mileage when issues began to show up and around 90,000 when it began hesitating and smelling. It is unsafe to drive on city streets because it will not accelerate properly and so I cannot drive it on the highway. I contacted Nissan while I had mileage in the range of 80K-84K to see if they will examine my cvt, given the current lawsuit, free of charge. But they stated that the lawsuit hasn't been settled yet and that by the time it is, I will likely be over the extended warranty.

Was coming to a stop at a red light when my car suddenly stalled out. Re started it then it was sluggish and my check engine light came on, when I came to a stop again I felt a quick thunk like the transmission was slipping. Finally got it home when put it on code reader it came up with code P0705 transmission range sensor circuit malfunction. I received a notice of recall for the transmission problem but when took it to the dealer they said it wasn't covered. Now I am stuck having to pay around $2000 to get my car fixed.

Vehicle hesitates when accelerating jerks car when getting speed when going at highway speeds car wanders back and forth hard to keep it on the road, clunking noise comes from cvt transmission when changing gears also produces severe vibrations when car is in motion getting worse and worse have been having these problems since I purchased car 1 year ago at 27,000 miles now have 70,000 miles and car is not very safe to be on the road I have replaced struts hub bearings control arms and tie rod ends along with motor and transmission mounts but the problem keeps getting worse and worse every day. Took it to local dealer and was told they couldn't do anything about it because it was out of warranty. The hertz car rental place that sold it to me was made aware of the problem took it twice to pep boys but I was told they couldn't find anything wrong I've spent about a 1,000 dollars in parts to try and correct the problem but still no luck

On or about November 5th of 2018 while traveling on the highway home the vehicle quit accelerating. We limped the vehicle home where a local transmission shop inspected the transmission. It was apparent the transmission was slipping. The quote we received was that the transmission was "shot". the vehicle had been purchased used and was only owned about 16 months.
