2016 Nissan Versa UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The vehicle has a CVT transmission failure causing severe shuddering, jerking, and progressive loss of acceleration. Initially the vehicle would not exceed 20 mph, then worsened to 15 mph, then 10 mph, and now will not exceed 5 mph. The issue consistently occurs after the vehicle has been driven for more than approximately 2 minutes. There are no warning lights or alerts prior to the failure. The vehicle has completely lost power while driving and has stopped in the middle of the road with no ability to accelerate or restart the vehicle, creating an extremely dangerous situation and risk of collision. This appears to be a known and common defect with the CVT transmission on this vehicle model and year. The condition has progressively worsened and makes the vehicle unsafe to operate.

I own a 2016 Nissan Versa, and the air conditioning system has completely failed due to what I’ve been told is an evaporator core issue. After researching, I’ve found that this is a very common problem among Versa owners across multiple model years. The failure causes extreme heat in the cabin, especially in summer months, and creates a serious distraction and discomfort while driving. It becomes physically exhausting and mentally draining, even leading to dizziness or loss of focus — which I believe is a potential safety hazard. Nissan has not issued a recall or acknowledged the issue, despite the large number of owners reporting the same problem. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this as a potential pattern of manufacturer defect. The heat exposure is more than an inconvenience — it’s a daily health and safety risk. PLEASE look into this!!!!!

I own a 2016 Nissan Versa, and the air conditioning system has completely failed, making the car almost unbearable to drive in the Florida heat. I have already spent over $1,000 trying to fix the issue — including replacing multiple A/C components — and the air still doesn’t work. A mechanic told me the evaporator core needs to be replaced, but that repair alone is too expensive for me right now. Driving this car in extreme heat has made me physically miserable and mentally drained. I sweat constantly, feel dizzy, and can’t think straight while on the road. I’ve even started losing things and forgetting where I put things because I’m so overheated and foggy. I have to dress half-naked just to survive the drive, and it’s humiliating. I’ve noticed that many other Nissan Versa owners report the same A/C failure, especially in similar model years, which tells me this is not just my car — it’s a pattern. I believe this is a manufacturer defect that Nissan is ignoring, and I respectfully ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue. The heat exposure is more than an inconvenience — it’s a daily health and safety risk

There is a shutter leaving 1st gear

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I'VE HAD IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 15MPH ON THE STREET AS WELL AS WHEN I'VE BEEN GOING 60+MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. BASED OFF OF OTHER FINDINGS AND LAWSUITS, I'VE BEGAN TO SUSPECT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I'VE GOTTEN MY WARRANTY EXTENDED BY THEM, BUT THAT'S IT.

I PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPOT I WAS IN PARK. NEXT TO A 4X4 DIESEL PICKUP, HE STARTED TO BACK UP AND TURNED HIS WHEELS TO WERE HE WAS GOING TO RUN ME OVER I HELD THE HORN DOWN HE DID NOT HEAR IT AND RAN ME OVER FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TO THE BACK DOOR. HE STOPPED WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS ON TOP OF MY CAR.

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT P185/65 R15 TIRE EXPLODED WHILE PARKED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN TEN MILES PRIOR TO THE EXPLOSION. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 65 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND IT WAS RAINING, SO HEAT WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE TIRE DOT # IS P5FP3YP2715. THE TIRES THEMSELVES ARE THREE YEARS OLD AND HAVE 54,710 MILES ON THEM.
