The first incident, my car shut off as I was driving down the road. I had to put it in park in the middle of the road, start the car, and floor it to get there car to go. The second incident was after I took it in to Nissan. They said it was fixed, and two days after I picked it up, the car shut off on me as I was leaving a gas station, and the check engine light is back on.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. AT 122,500, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO "SHUDDERING", THE CAR AT TIMES WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE, AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN "T-BONED" AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, CAUSING THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE PHONED, EMAILED, AND WRITTEN TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA (CERTIFIED MAIL) WARNING THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. I SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH MARKITA SCOTT, ARBITRATION SPECIALIST (615-725-7884). I MENTIONED TO HER THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING AND THAT THE CAR'S FAILING TRANSMISSION POSED A SAFETY HAZARD. HER REPLY WAS THE "THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." SHE REPEATED THAT NUMEROUS TIMES AND SEEMED NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT OF DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU.

IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND HAD I NOT HAD THE RADIO OFF SO I COULD HEAR IT AND HAVE A CLUTCH I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS. THE GAS PEDDLE GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR LIKE ITS BEING SUCKED IN AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP SO THE ENGINE JUST SCREAMS LOUD AS THE CAR THRUSTS FORWARD AS FAST AS IT CAN GO, SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, APPLY THE BREAKS AND KEEP TAPPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE ALL AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL THE PEDDLE COMES BACK UP, WHICH TAKES ABOUT 15 TO 30 SECONDS AND IF YOU ARE RIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ITS JUST TO CLOSE OF A CALL AND IN THE MEAN TIME YOUR ENGINE IS SCREAMING SO LOUD UNTIL IT COMES BACK UP AND THEN AFTER YOU CAN CALM DOWN FROM GOING INTO SHOCK, YOU CAN CONTINUE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TAKE OFF AT A GREEN LIGHT, ENTERING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO BASICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOME OR EXTRA GAS. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN AT A GREEN LIGHT WITH ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME ONLY ABOUT 20 FT AND HAD TO THINK FAST AND THROW IT IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD HAVE PLOWED ME INTO THAT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I'M SCARRED TO DRIVE IT ON TRIPS TO GO SEE MY KIDS 100 MILES AWAY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS MORE THEN. IT DIDN'T START TILL IT WAS WITHIN THE 1ST YR BUT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND THEN LIKE 5 MONTHS, NOW IT SEEMS TO DO IT A LOT MORE, SO I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL YOU. I NEED IT FIXED LIKE NOW OR GET THEM TO PUT ME IN A NEW VEHICLE, PLEASE HELP.

STARTED THE VERSA AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AND WAS EXITING A SHOPPING CENTER. EXIT REQUIRES DRIVING UP A SIGNIFICANT INCLINE TO ACCESS BUSY THREE LANE ROAD. AT THE CREST OF THE HILL, DURING PAUSE WAITING FOR ACCESS POINT TO ENTER TRAFFIC, VERSA WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN WITH EXCELLERATOR DEPRESSED. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND VERSA INSTEAD ROLLED BACKWARDS, GAINING MOMENTUM WHILE GOING DOWN HILL BACKWARDS. BRAKES FAILED, PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP CAR UNTIL A CURB WAS HIT. LATER, EXITING THE SAME LOCATION AND CROSSED IN 2 LANES, THE VERSA RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MOVE THE CAR. ZERO RPMS. CAR STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS AND WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN SHIFTING GEARS TRYING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO GET OUT OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MOVE THE CAR, THE VERSA DIED. VERSA THEN WOULD NOT START AND ONLY MADE 'CLICKING NOISES'. FIVE PEOPLE IN THE CAR ALL AT RISK DURING THIS SERIOUS DRIVABILITY CONCERN. ONCE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, THE TRANS AND ENGINE SINKED AND VERSA THEN DRIVABLE. EXITED THE ROADWAY. DROVE THE VEHICLE IN LESS POPULATED AREA TO THE DEALERSHIP.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRAKING, THE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO PUSH 'GAS'. THE CAR WILL FEEL LIKE IT IS MAKING LITTLE 'JERKS'. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERYTIME, BUT ENOUGH TO NOTICE AND MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. WHEN STOPPED OR PARKED, I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR 'SHIFTS OR MOVES EASILY AND I AM NOW IN THE HABIT OF APPLYING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE EVERYTIME I LEAVE THE CAR. *TR
