Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Versa owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

I went to pick up my daughter from daycare on day in December 2017. I stopped at a stoplight and when it turned green I went to accelerate and my car would barely creep, I barely made it through a turn light and close to getting hit. I could barely get up to 15mph. I ended up taking it to a shop and was told a pulley broke on the transmission! it supposedly caused shrapnel to shoot into the transmission and told could of gotten into the motor! so I was told $4000 for a rebuilt transmission. The shop put me through the ringer! they told me it was fixed and it wasn't!! it was not shifting right! then I was told they would put in a new transmission at no extra charge. Then I ended up getting ahold of them the next day and they told me no doubt it is fixed and that they ended up not putting in a new transmission after they read up on it. I ended up having the car towed because it wasnt fixed! then they put in a new one finally at no charge and it was fine. Took 4 times!! two weeks later and it starts burning a gas/rotten egg sulfur smell. Then I finally notice oil leaking out from under my car. From what I was told I have a blown head gasket!!! I am angry to say the least!!1 I spent all my savings and now have to find a way to get a new car and I doubt I can pay to fix this problem!!!
"defective transmission" my 2014 Nissan Versa started sputtering and jerking while driving and now it has gotten to the point where it will not drive properly. There's an issue with the transmission. The problem started in the last few months and after researching it appears this is an ongoing problem with Nissan Versa vehicles as the manufacturer is repeatedly saling these unsafe defective vehicles. I should not be having a transmission problem with a 2014 purchased vehicle.
Bought my car brand new in 2014. Almost immediately started having transmission stalling and slipping issues within two months. My car stalled out and died on the freeway in the middle of rush hour traffic. I went to my Nissan dealership to have it looked at and fixed under warranty. They did not fix it, nor do I think they even looked at it. My car stalls, slips, grinds and vibrates every time I gas it. There have been a handful of other times my car has stalled out and died in the middle of a busy street, while driving. I've had my car for three years and I've been to my dealership many times during warranty and after warranty for this issue and each time the problem has not been resolved. There was even a recall for my transmission, in which I went to the dealership 3 times for it, and it still has not been resolved months after I received the recall notice. I've tried looking this recall up, and I cannot find it. Perhaps the dealership stated that this issue has been resolved when it has not. I do not feel safe in my car, and I feel as if the Nissan dealership I bought my car from is adding to the lack of safety of my vehicle.

My 2014 Nissan Versa shut down today while I was driving! luckly I was on a parking structure. I looked up my VIN for any recalls and it shows 0 however, I did locate a recall that was made for 2014 Nissan Versas sedan for the exact same thing that happened to my car and I'm wondering why my vehicle is not part the the recall VIN numbers.
In motion. This car would vibrate while steering (turning) and accelerating, forcing the rmps to flex up without gain of power. The rpma would randomly flex up and down while driving at a maintained speed. Then a day at a store I turn the car on, went to put it in drive an it stalled out- 5 times to get to to move. Then it would stall out while coming to a stop/at a stop/still in gear (drive) so I would have to slam it into neutral when slowing down for a stop or at a stop. Until one day as I was driving I didn't need to completely stop as I turned to another road bc no one was coming, as I used the accelerator to gain my speed the rmp flexed up and down but my speed decreased leading to the car stallling out on side of road. I turned it off then tried to start it and to put it in gear it again stalled out, after that it wouldn't turn over an it got towed to my place where it sits and doesn't start or move, it has 3 recalls come to find out an I contacted Nissan which told me to contact the nearest Nissan dealership that told me to go call Nissan. So pretty much I've gotten zero information an a run around. This car is a safety hazard. I'm lucky I wasn't driving 60mph or more and the engine shuts off and everything locks up. Will be trying to start this car to determine if it should need to be towed 3 hours away from the nearest Nissan dealership.
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, .
When I got in the car, I went to start it by pressing the brake. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the accelerator pedal did as well. It took about 10 minutes for them to release and come back up, before I could get my car started and drive back home. I was scared for my life it was going to stick again on my 2 hour ride back home.
I purchased a 2014 Nissan Versa from maita Nissan in sacramento (now called sacramento Nissan) on September 12, 2014 and I'm just not satisfied. The VIN number is [xxx] I purchased a 2014 Nissan Versa from maita Nissan in sacramento (now called sacramento Nissan) and I'm just not satisfied. This car does not at all sound like a new car. I drove it off the lot with 9 miles on it, but immediately noticed how difficult it is for the transmission to smoothly get into gear. It's loud and almost sounds like it's completely broken. When I put the car in reverse I hear a loud clunking sound whether it's on a flat surface or in the driveway. I've discussed hearing this sound before 4 different times and also went to the Nissan service department 4 times. I'm being told nothing is wrong. I didn't purchase a "brand new" car to have all of these problems. I called Nissan Consumer Affairs and advised them about the issues and requested a buy back. After waiting 3 weeks for an answer, they advised me on 4/9/15 that they are not going to accommodate my request. I feel this car has an unsafe transmission and braking system. Please investigate this issue. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
There is a coolant smell coming from the engine, no noticeable signs of a leak. The main coolant tank was full but the overflow was empty. Dealer said it was a common smell with no further explanation. After filling the overflow, the smell still persists. The overflow loses about half a cup per month. No overheat or cooling problems noticed.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving under 5 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The failure occurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician verified the failure but the diagnosis was unknown. The manufacturer has been notified of the problem. The failure mileage was 6,000.
2 separate occasions the ABS has failed to function and has locked the wheels up solid until the pedal was released and depressed again. Also the air conditioning when on makes car pulse to the point that at a stop unless you are full depressed on brake the car will lurch forward as compressor kicks on.
The car is slow to heat up and after driving about six to fifteen miles the temperature drops to a very low level. Sometime the temperature is so low that it does not show up on the dash gauge. This condition is most prevalent when the outdoor temperature is low. This makes it impossible to defrost the windshield.
