I feel something is wrong when I step on the accelerator and the rpm scale shakes while driving. When I stop and go while waiting for the signal, the rpm does not increase and speed does not increase even though I step on the accelerator to the end. When I visit mechanics, they told me it is a transmission problem.

Transmission problems include lurching, acceleration issues, vehicle overheating. It has been very dangerous. In the middle of traffic the vehicle will lose power and start jerking.

I was accelerating onto a highway speed increasing to highway speed and suddenly (in front of a tractor trailer moving at least 70mph) vehicle lost power began to shudder. We had a vehicle right on our bumper. The truck that had trouble changing lanes bearing down on us vehicle began to gain power and then lost it again. Once there was room we got over onto open shoulder (barely in time to avoid being absolutely crushed by this truck) we pulled over. Towed to a repair shop we learned the transmission had failed around 40mph to 50mph during acceleration. It was inspected by an ASE technician. Worse, we found out from the shop this happens to many transmissions in this same vehicle. This is scary.

My 2013 Nissan Versa has 80,000 miles. Since the car had 72,000 the transmission started to lurch forward while coming to a stop. This lurch has pushed me out into traffic on at least 5 times. As you come to a stop, and you think you are stopping it lunges forward placing others at serious risk. I must be very cautious when approaching sidewalks where pedestrians may be as well as oncoming traffic. The transmission also stalls and loses power when trying to accelerate. When I pull out sometimes the car does not move and will hesitate before it goes. This is extremely dangerous when pulling into oncoming traffic. The transmission "CVT" is a danger to people and should be replaced.

When accelerating quickly to enter a highway, the car bucks continually until you pull over to the side of road and turn it off and back on.

My car started jolting forward when trying to shift gears (automatic transmission). once i hit 100,000 miles. Then one day while in the drive thru I put my foot to the petal and it rolled forward with no true power to it. This happened again today after turning right at a light with oncoming traffic! I almost got hit! I am going to a mechanic tomorrow but came here and see 69 other people with SAME problem from the SAME year/model/make! This is a manufacturing issue, I literally only drive to and from work, no long trips, no racing around, etc. Please help!

Car won’t accelerate past 25mph and is very loud. I took it to a Nissian dealer service center and they told me that they can’t get the code to come up for a transmission but they think that’s the problem. However, the Nissans that came out in 2013 with my make and model had bad transmissions and Nissan won’t help or cover the transmission expenses that existed at the time of manufacturing.

Currently on 4th transmission cant drive car.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (COOK CHEVROLET610 N, TROY RD, ELBA, AL 36323) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $2500-3000 FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE GOING UP A BRIDGE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THESE VEHICLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION TYPE. IT IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THIS TRANSMISSION TYPE. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALLS.

THIS NISSAN VERSA 4 DOOR FAMILY VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY CVT BY NISSAN WHICH IS SLIPPING AND PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING PROPERLY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD WHILE ON THE ROAD. A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST INFORMED US THAT NISSAN'S ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH FAULTY CVTS AND THEY DO NOT PROVIDE PARTS SO THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED COSTING OVER 4,000 DOLLARS. WE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN U.S.A. AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP US WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THEY DO NOT CARE THAT THEY PRODUCED ANOTHER LEMON! WE ARE FORCED TO MAKE MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT WE CANNOT DRIVE!

TRANSMISSION BEGAN HARD SHIFTING, LONG SHIFTING, SKIP SHIFTING, AND NOT SHIFTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THIS IS BECAUSE A REVERS TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT. REPLACED TAIL LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION WORKS NORMAL. THIS DOESNT SOUND RIGHT TO ME!

I WAS ON THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED GOING FORWARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. NOW THE CAR STARTS, JUGGLE BACK AND FORTH BUT I CAN'T GO OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR. NO ONE AT NISSAN WILL HELP ME. TELLS ME IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. WITH COVID I DON'T MAKE ENOUGH TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. I AM STILL PAYING FOR A BROKEN CAR.

SINCE BUYING THE CAR IN 2016, MY CAR TRANSMISSION HAS RECENTLY FAILED. I HAD NO LIGHT UP THAT INDICATED A WARNING IN MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A 4-WAY INTERSECTION. BEFORE THAT THE FAN WAS ALSO DEFECTED UPON PURCHASING. I OWN THE THE CAR NOW.

STARTING AT 50,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CAR WAS MAINTAINED BY A MECHANIC AND ALL BELTS WERE CHECKED. THERE WAS NO CARS FOUND AT THAT TIME. AFTER HITTING APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING MORE ISSUES THAT INCLUDED LOUDER NOISES FROM THE ENGINE, UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION, AND AFTER LETTING THE FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN IMMENSELY. RECENTLY THE CAR WAS CHECKED AGAIN BY MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS FOUND IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS AT FAULT. A FEW TIMES WITH THE CAR IN PARK HAD SEVERE TREMORS TOO. NOW WITH 75,000 MILES THE CAR IS HAVING STRONG JERKS WHEN BEING PUT I TO REVERSE. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING I NEED TO LET OFF THE GAS AND ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TIME TO CHANGE GEAR.
