2013 Nissan Versa Complaint Log

THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, I'VE NOTICED MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A HIGH WHINING NOICE-WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR ALSO REVS UP TO 4000RPMS , DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. YESTERDAY, 01/19/2018- MY CAR NO LONGER MOVED FORWARD- AS IF STUCK IN NEUTRAL.I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT MY BACK TURN SIGNAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS OUT, THUS AFFECTING THE FRONT DRIVER'S TURN SIGNAL. THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL "CLICKS" QUCIKLY. EVERYTIME I TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, MY CAR WHINES AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 85,000 MILES, TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE DEALS WITH IT ALL TIME AND IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THOSE TRANSMISSIONS AND DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN STILL USED THEM. SPOKE TO NISSAN USA AND THEY WANTED TO FIGHT TO PAY FOR THE COST AND WANTED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE TECH LAUGHED AND SAID YOU COULDN'T REBUILD IT BECAUSE ITS A CLOSED SYSTEM. ONLY OWNERS OF THE CAR AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH 85,000 MILES ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 62000 MILES ON IT. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT BEING RUN OVER BY THE SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY WITH ME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS 'DEFECTIVE' AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, I FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT AND ONE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ALREADY SETTLED OVER THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOT BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CORRECTION? THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT CHEAP, AND THOSE OF US PAYING FOR THEM DID NOT PURCHASE A DISPOSABLE VEHICLE!

IT WAS A RAINY DAY OUTSIDE. THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKE PADS/SHOES WERE REPLACED 10,000 MILES PREVIOUSLY AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN DOVER, OH. I WAS DRIVING ON NORMAL PAVEMENT. I DROVE ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I DROVE ON A VILLAGE MAIN ST AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 25 MPH. IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED OR WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STRAIGHT OR TURNING: WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. AFTER THAT, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS ANOTHER CLUNKING NOISE. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE BRAKES. I ASKED A PASSENGER TO JOIN ME TO TEST THE NOISE AND EVEN LET THEM DRIVE. THEY CONFIRMED. THE NOISE SUDDENLY STOPPED AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ONCE IT STOPPED WE PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND SMELLED WHAT SEEMED TO BE BRAKE FLUID. CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE FINE.

TAMARA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT & A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF MY CAR & THE FRONT BUMPER & RT HEADLIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2013 NISSAN, VERSA. MY INSURANCE PD IT. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN WITH MY PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES HARD & STILL HITTING THE DEER, I THOUGHT IT STRANGE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THE SUDDEN BRAKES & HITTING THE SIDE OF THE DEER. WAS THE AIRBAGS SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN THAT SITUATION? I DON'T KNOW. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS? UNKNOWN NOT DEPLOY. IS THIS NORMAL? I DON'T KNOW?

THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ON THE DISPLAY GOES OUT FREQUENTLY WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN THE DISPLAY IS OUT, THE CVT TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, SLIPS, AND/OR 'DOWNSHIFTS' HARD. THERE IS ALSO A LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH BECOMES A PROBLEM WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE INDICATOR WILL GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION AND ONLY HAS 85700 MILES

NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCING ISSUES, BEING VERY UNSAFE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NORMALLY, THE CAR STARTED REVVING VERY HIGH. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNING IT BACK ON, IT CONTINUED TO REV OVER 3,000 RPM AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH AND NEVER "SHIFT" INTO HIGHER GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE, AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SOLVED THE ISSUE. IT WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH NEW CVT FLUID, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND HAS NOT GONE AWAY WITH SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS NEARBY, AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION. ONCE THE VEHICLE REGISTERED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO #1 COCHRAN NISSAN OF SOUTH HILLS (3200 W LIBERTY AVE, PITTSBURGH, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED SOFTWARE REPROGRAMMING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

SHAKING FEELS LIKE IT WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF. VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT A FEELS TIMES ALREADY COMPLETELY TURNING OFF. VEHICLE DOESN'T NOT GO ABOVE 50-60 MPH WITHOUT STRUGGLING. HESITATES TO GO AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT'S A ROUGH RIDE RATHER THEN BEING A SMOOTH RIDE IN THE PAST. IN ALL OCCASIONS I'VE HAD MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR. FIRST PROBLEM WAS JULY 28TH 2017 AT 5:15PM.

MUFFLER CLAMP GOT RUSTED OUT AND BROKEN. THIS IS MADE OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL WHICH GOT RUSTED WHERE AS REMAINING MUFFLER IS RUST PROOF.

HAVE PUT ME IN A SITUATION THAT I HAD TON USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, FEEL PRESSURE ALL THE TIME, WHEN I OUT THE CAR IN REVERS, THERE IS A NOISE IN THE SHIFTING OF GEAR TO REVERSE, THIS HAS CAUSED CLOSE CALLS TO ME BEING IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT, THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN FEBRUARY 2018, FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT,

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY- THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR IT IS VERY SLUGGISH TO RUN. WHEN IT IS IDLING IT APPEARS TO WANT TO STOP RUNNING. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD- IT HAS A HARD TIME GOING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO PLANET NISSAN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS- FOR THIS CONTINUAL PROBLEM- THEY CONTINUALLY WANT TO DENY ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY IN LAS VEGAS, NV I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY SPEED SO THAT I COULD GET ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE PICKING UP SPEED, WHEN MY CAR FINALLY JUST DIED. I THEN TRIED TO SWITCH TO PARK SO THAT I COULD RESTART MY CAR AND MOVE OVER MORE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. IT TOOK ME THREE TRY'S, WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED UP AGAIN. MY CAR HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS IN DIRE NEED TO BE FIXED, NOTHING WAS BROKEN, AND MY CAR WAS UP TO PAR ON MAINTENANCE. I CALLED NISSAN'S SERVICE PLACE ON SATURDAY AS WELL AFTER THIS HAD HAPPENED AND GOT THE RUN AROUND OF WHAT TO DO.

THIS NISSAN VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPLACED. THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AND BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION'S WARRANTY, THE DEALER NOR NISSAN WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR A THIRD TIME WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT WILL LIKELY FAIL AGAIN AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH, TRAFFIC SLOWED AND I LIGHTLY DEPRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW MY VEHICLE IN RESPONSE AND NO BRAKING WAS DETECTED. I PRESSED THE PEDAL FURTHER TO NO AVAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES FINALLY ENGAGED. THANKFULLY, I WAS TRAVELING AT A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. NEVERTHELESS, THE EXPERIENCE WAS UNSETTLING. NORMAL BRAKE OPERATION RESUMED FOR A SHORT TIME. WITHIN 25 MILES OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE, I ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, FOLLOWED BY NORMAL BRAKE OPERATION. I CAUTIOUSLY MADE MY WAY TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED, AND THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE A LEAK IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. DESPITE THE 115000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, I FIND IT QUITE TERRIFYING THAT THE FAILURE OF A COMPONENT COULD PUT MY OCCUPANT AND I IN SUCH A PERILOUS SITUATION WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE, AND AM AWAITING FURTHER ASSISTANCE/REMEDY.

RECALL 15V507000 HAS NEVER BEEN DONE ON MY V ERSA. IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IT SHOULD BE FIXED. NISSAN IS BEING ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH FAILIGNJ TO FIX SAFETY PROBLEM SON CALLS. I FIND THAT NHTSA IS NOT FINING NISSAN FOR FAILURE TO FIX SAFETY ISSUES IN CAS. THEY LET CAR PROFITEERS GET AWAY WITH THE SAFETY PROBLEM ON CARS UNTIL PEOPLE DIE. THAT IS FAR TOO LONG AND TOO WRONG. I DO NOT THINK CONGRESS MEANT FORNHTSA TO DO NOTHING BUNTIL PEOPLE DIE.

I PURCHASED A USED CAR FROM MR. BILL MOTOR CO IN ARLINGTON, TX ON PIONEER PARKWAY. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT. I CALLED TO INFORM MR. BILL MOTORS AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND IT OUT TO BE LOOKED AT AND LET ME KNOW WHEN IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. IT WAS TAKEN TO DG'S PERFORMANCE ON PIONEER PARKWAY FOR REPAIRS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE CAR RESUMED OVERHEATING, I CONTACTED MR. BILL MOTORS AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND THE VEHICLE OUT FOR REPAIR. THEY SENT IT TO LONGHORN TRANSMISSIONS. AS MY DAUGHTER WAS HEADED TO SCHOOL AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED ON I-20 IN ARLINGTON, TX THE CAR STARTS TO OVERHEAT AND STOPS ON HER, SHE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. SHE CALLS LONGHORN AND THEY SEND A TOW TO GET HER. SHE WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT PLACE THE CAP ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY ADDED FLUID TO IT SO THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR IS HEATING AGAIN. I CONTACT MR. BILL MOTORS AGAIN IN PERSON SO THEY COULD SEE AND WITH A VIDEO OF WHAT THE CAR HAD BEEN DOING, THEY TELL ME THEY WILL WORK ON IT THE NEXT DAY. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR FROM THE LOT, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I ROLLED INTO THE STREET. TWO SALES MEN HAD TO PUSH THE CAR UNTO THE PROPERTY FROM THE STREET. TWO DAYS GO BY AND I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT WILL COST ME $1500 AND TAKE A WEEK TO REPAIR FROM SCOTT AND HE STATES THAT MATT ANOTHER MANAGER IS PRESENT WITH HIM. I CALLED TO DISCUSS STATUS UPDATE, MISSING ITEMS FROM THE CAR TO FIND OUT THEY WERE CHARGING ME $235 FOR THE TOW THAT LONGHORN TRANSMISSION BILLED THEM. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS CHARGE, NOR DO I FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGE. THEY DID NOT PUT THE CAP ON THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGE AND THAT YOU DO NOT CHARGE ANYONE WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE AMOUNT WITH THE PERSON. I ASKED FOR THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR AND I STATED I WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE REPAIR PLACE. I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER FOR JEFF.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2015, THE CAR ALREADY HAD CVT ISSUES. IT USED TO JERK AND SOMETIMES I HAD TO TURN IT ON AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS NOT AWARE IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN, IN THE HILLS THE CAR WOULD NOT GET SPEED. IN 2017, THE CAR WAS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE, PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGEROUS. I WENT TO NISSAN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, IN JULY 2018 THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 31ST I WENT TO NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION PART, I REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I LEFT NISSAN I REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I WENT BACK TO NISSAN THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER WAS GOING INSIDE A HOLE IN MY TRUNK AND GOING TO THE LIGHTS AND IT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I WENT TO A TRUSTED BODY SHOP AND A MECHANIC TO GET A SECOND OPINION, BOTH TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTS DID NOT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MALFUNCTION OF THE CAR., BESIDES THERE WASN'T ANY WATER MARKS INSIDE MY TRUCK. I WENT BACK TO NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN AND ANOTHER REPAIR PLACE, BOTH AFFIRMED THAT LIGHTS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION, ISSUES RELATED WITH RPM OR THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS A ENGINE CODE ON WHICH SHOWS THE PART THAT I JUST CHANGED AT NISSAN. NOW I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY BECAUSE IF I STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE CAR SOMETIMES WON'T MOVE, PEOPLE START TO HONK AT ME. IN ADDITION IT CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN AN INTERSECTION YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE YOUR CAR QUICKLY.
