2014 Nissan Versa Power Train

See attached document for complaint

The car is constantly jerking and losing power. The car has been towed for not responding after acceleration. Mechanic has told me it is the transmission. Car only has roughly 86k miles on it. Not safe to drive at all.

My transmission went out pre-maturely on the high way and I almost got rear-ended. It’s a CVT transmission which has had a class action lawsuit which I wasn’t aware of when I bought car in 2020. Nissan should hold more responsibility but they refuse to help my basically totaled car.

Transmission went out.

When reaching speeds around 20 mph, usually on turning corners, car feels like its 'skipping' not catching (so this could be like when picking up speed after reducing speed). I'm currently having wheel bearings replaced and the certified mechanic working on it says it appears to be transmission related and recommended me to take it to Nissan as he assumed (wrongly!) that it should still be covered under warranty. The vehicle has 71,000 miles. This issue doesn't always appear and is random as to showing up, but it is frequent.

At approximately 130K miles the CVT transmission had a sudden failure. Struggles to shift gears properly and often will pick a random one, which causes further damaged. Vehicle has sat for years, the transmission is unrepairable and a new unit must be installed which cost around $3500 for the transmission alone not including labor as told by the Nissan dealership. I now sit with a giant paper weight that is useless and worth nothing. Manufacturer should be held responsible as this issue exists and has been recalled in other models and years with the same transmission or issue.

Transmission acts up Every time I accelerate to 30-35mph. Must remove foot from gas until RPMs go down to at least 2(if I'm lucky). If this process is not done the car continues to get louder and doesn't perform properly. I have two kids that I regularly take to school and other places so this is a big problem. Also if car is going 15mph or slower it's the same process. This started happening about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. Odometer reading at time of purchase 75,500

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed the vehicle started to have issues with changing from one gear to another. The contact stated that he had just left the dealer from getting his transmission serviced and then the transmission failed. There was no warning prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and diagnosed as the transmission needing replacement. The vehicle has been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and told the contact they would be responsible for repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that after reversing out of a parking space, while attempting to shift into drive(D), the contact discovered that the transmission failed to shift into drive(D). The vehicle was undrivable and was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined there was no transmission fluid inside the CVT transmission. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who confirmed a failure with the CVT transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 83,700.

I was told by Nissan of Tustin, CA, that I need trans repair. I was also told that several other issues exist. For minor items that cost a healthy price. After the repairs I’m called and told I have an additional charge for rear tail lights and brake lights which occurs when repairs on the trans are done. This sounds like something that nissan knows so why not cover that in the repair? Doesn’t sound separate sounds like compound issue from trans. Is there a recall order for this issue with the Sentra, which is the same cvt transmission?

The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 93,000.

When I first bouth this car used in 2020, the car suddenly begins accellerating rapidly but going nowhere while driving and I had the transmission replaced very soon after 68000 miles but, luckily it was under warranty. Now, less than 2 years after NISSAN replaced the transmission, I am driving down the interstate and my car starts jumping and going really slow and sluggish to get to the next gear then just takes off normally again. This will happen with the car just driving normally after that then again a shudder and slow down but its never consistent. I took it to Nissan again and guess what, the transmission went again. These Automotic CVT RE0F11A Transmissions in Nissans are severe safety issues and I have noticed and heard from mechanics all over and on this website even.

Continuous Variable Transmission Assembly Failure; Engine Stalled on the Highway; around 4/25/2022 No warning lights came up. Took it to the Nissan Dealer; They charged $495 for reprogramming Computer and Test Drive. The problem came up PF17F0 - Judder. CVT Assembly has to be replaced. The car has run only 33,000 miles and is good condition. The dealer says to REPLACE the Transmission with a new ONE. They stopped installing REFURBISHED Continuous Variable Transmission Assemblyand will only sell the new ones for others to repair cars. It costs $6,500/== More than the worth of the cars. THEY WILL NOT SELL PART - creating Monopoly.

Regarding my 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with "continuous variable (cone shaped) transmission": I first noticed the transmission issue beginning June of 2021. took it back to the dealership where I got my car from they did not help me at all and took it to mechanic shop to look at it looked at and I'm changing my transmission fluid twice and no codes popped up on the scanner and now I'm sitting here with no vehicle engine runs is just a CVT transmission is the issue please help

The problem that the vehicle has is in the transmission. It does not have any light on the panel to notify me of any problem. My vehicle has 57000 miles and the transmission changes irregularly and sometimes it goes down without having slowed down, forcing me to stop completely on the road it is truly worrying. I have done internet searches on 2014 Versa transmissions and many people have had the same problem.

I BOUGHT THIS 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE BRAND NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN. AFTER 6 YEARS THE CAR STARTED TO GIVE US A PROBLEM WITH THE POWERTRAIN. IT WON'T CHANGE THE GEAR, TAKES OFF IS SLOW, LOSES POWER, AND MAKING NOISE.I HAVE NO MONEY TO GET IT FIXED , THEREFORE NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THE ISSUE.THE DEALER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM IS OUT OF BUSINESS.

The CVT failed and the engine began making a droning sound. The vehicle was undrivable once the failed transmission was detected.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE WHICH IS 7 YEARS OLD, AND HAS 124,XXX MILES ON IT. THE MORE I READ ONLINE THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON, WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS MILES ON IT. MY CAR WOULD OFTEN SHAKE OR VIGOROUSLY VIBRATE, AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

My car has a CVT transmission and it jerks and stalls when trying to change gears and sometimes gets stuck in gear. I saw that their is a recall for this issue in nissan cars (versa,Sentra,Altima’s)from years 2012-2018 issued in 2016, but when I called the dealership they said it’s not for my specific car according to the VIN number. I’m not sure why this is and I’m confused and would like to know how to resolve this issue.

Faulty Transmission. Replaced twice in 2 years. Nissan doesn't want to be responsible for 2nd Transmission. It cost $3,700 a Transmission replacement.

NISSAN VERSA IS TUGGING/MISFIRING DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, RPM GETS STUCK AT AROUND 3500-4500 AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH. ONCE UNSTUCK, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD LIKE A CRUNCHING SOUND, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE METAL GRINDING METAL, NOT PROPERLY ENGAGING SHIFTING. THE MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY AT 90K. THE ISSUE STARTED AROUND A MONTH AGO. THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 101000 MILES, THE NEW TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 109000 MILES. NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR IT AGAIN. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING TO HIGHER GEARS. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD.

TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR

AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION RECALL UPDATE PERFORMED BY NISSAN THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES WITH SHIFTING. I HAVE TO LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY MADE A CASE AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW OF THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

A RECALL JOB, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPGRADE, WAS COMPLETED BY TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOW MY NISSAN VERSA WILL GO NO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. NO INDICATIONS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE WERE DISPLAYED UPON COMPLETION OF THE RECALL CORRECTION. THIS CAR IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 102,640 MILES. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN LOGGED WITH NISSAN, BUT MY EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INEFFECTIVE THUS FAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO THE TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 10/20/2020 AND KEPT OVER NIGHT. ON 10/21/2020, THE RECALL WAS COMPLETE AND THE NISSAN WAS DRIVEN AWAY. LESS THAN 20 MINUTES LATER, THE TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WOULD GO NO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. ON THE SAME DATE, 10/21/2020, THE NISSAN WAS TOWED BACK, AT MY EXPENSE, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED PENDING DISCISSIONS WITH NISSAN.
