What 253 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Nissan Versa Note

My skid mark symbol comes on, does not go off until 2or 3 days later. My Nissan will not accelerate over 20 miles per hour. I have had mu vehicle checked several times at the Grainger Nissan dealership several times within the past 4 years after they installed a new transmission. They found and corrected other issues, but not what causes the traction lights to come on and decrease speed causing me to have to use flashers and bike lanes where ever available until I get home. Independent mechanics have checked, knocked off traction light. It only comes on again. I have another mechanic at Precision Tune to check it out tomorrow. The last date of this occurrence was 12/ 08/2025

WHILE PRESSING DOWN THE PEDAL TO ENGAGE THE CAR TO PICK UP SPEED THE CAR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 183 HEADING NORTH, I HAD TO CALL 911 TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE OPERATOR TO SAFELY SLOW THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED TO AN UNSAFE SPEED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CAR WAS PLACED IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON THE MEDIAN AND TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN THE SHERIFF OFFICE ARRIVED AND LOOKED AT THE CAR THEY WERE ABLE HELP ME LOOSE THE PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASE THE NISSAN VERSA 2015 IN SEPT. 2015, THE CAR WAS USED IT HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT. I TEST DROVE IT A LITTLE BIT WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT OFF I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP BEFORE I GOT OFF THE STOCKTON DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TEST DROVE IT. THEY SAID YES THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND REPLACE IT. NOW, I AM THINKING BACK, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CONVINCED ME TO GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM THINKING WHY IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT.. SO, IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT DROVE OK. THEN IN 2017, I NOTICED A SMALL SLIPPING NOISE, LIKE A SMALL DRUMROLL EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEN FINALLY I TOOK THE CAR TO OAKLAND DEALERSHIP IN 2017 AROUND 88,000 MILES. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR NOISE. IN A FEW DAYS, I PICK UP THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I DROVE IT I HEAR THE SLIPPING DRUMROLL SOUND. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE TESTED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. I WAS DISCOURAGED WITH THE RESULTS, NOW IT JAN 2019, MANY MONTHS LATER, AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, MORE FREQUENT LOUD DRUMROLL NOISE AND SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE AND I NOTICED THAT NISSAN DOUBLED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. TODAY, I WENT TO THE OAKLAND DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY NISSAN VERSA IS NOT UNDER THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOW CAN THIS BE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND FAILURES ABOUT THE NISSAN TRANSMISSION. NISSAN AND DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE VERSA. RIGHT NOW, I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AN ANY GIVEN TIME AND DRIVING CONDITION. PLEASE RECALL ALL NISSAN VERSA AND HAVE THE COMPANY FIX THIS RECURRING TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

WITH 68 MILES ON CAR, A CLICK SOUND IS ALWAYS HEARD EACH TIME THE AIR CONDITIONING BUTTON IS PRESSED TO ON POSITION/LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SMELLS HOT AND GIVES OFF A BURNING SMELL EVERY SINGLE TIME THE CAR GOES OVER 65 MPH/ACCELERATION FROM 60 TO 65MPH OR FROM ANY OTHER SPEED/MPH UP TO 65MPH MAKES THE SMELL OF A HOT ENGINE. THERE IS NO SMOKING BUT THE AIR IN THE CAR SMELLS AT 65MPH SO I GO 60MPH TO PREVENT THE SMELL BECAUSE IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS. THE CAR HAS NOT LOST COMPRESSION AT ANY SPEED/CLIMBS HILLS/BUT THE SMELL HAPPENS WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AS WELL AS BEING IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED OR MPH CLIMBING THE STEEP HILLS OF NY. FOR INSTANCE IF THE SPEED LIMIT IS 30MPH AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL AND 55MPH AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, THE CARS ENGINE WILL SMELL HOT. NO GAGES OR RED LIGHTS OCCUR TO INDICATE OVERHEATING. RADIATOR IS NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT OR NO STEAM OR SMOKE TO INDICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT IS A STANDARD/MANUAL SHIFT. AND I DID EXPERIENCE THE PEDAL OPERATION COMPROMISED WHEN MY SHOE WAS CAUGHT UNDER THE SIDE PANEL. I CHANGED SHOES THEN THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED....EXCEPT FOR THE RECALL WHICH IS NECESSARY.
