2015 Nissan Versa transmission problems

POWER TRAIN

The vehicle experienced a failure of the transmission/CVT transmission system and is available for inspection upon request. Prior to the failure, the vehicle began showing symptoms including hesitation while accelerating, jerking, slipping between gears, and delayed response when pressing the gas pedal beginning around February 2026. Warning indicators and abnormal driving behavior continued leading up to the complete failure. The issue placed my safety and the safety of others at risk because the vehicle unexpectedly lost power and struggled to accelerate in traffic, increasing the risk of a collision. The problem has been confirmed by a dealership/independent mechanic after inspection of the vehicle. The vehicle and transmission system have also been inspected by service professionals, and documentation of the diagnosis is available if needed.

2015 Nissan Versa 83,850 odometer reading Complaint: Safety for other individuals driving similar vehicles. Daughter was driving recently on 91 freeway in Long Beach, CA extremely busy highway on a Friday afternoon. Driving in the middle lane the cars forward movement stopped but car still running. Mechanic diagnosis was the CVT transmission. The car did not give us any warning at anytime there were any issues with the transmission. My concern and hope other would know about CVT transmissions This could of been a very bad day for my daughter if an accident was caused due to this issue. Thank God for the California Highway Patrol, The 911 operator and the California Tow Truck highway Patrol who got her off the highway quickly and safely.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer, where the fuel pump assembly, the lower control arm, and the electronic parking switch were replaced. Additionally, the contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that cylinder #1 had misfired, and the dealer determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to a transmission specialist, where the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the catalytic converter was replaced for a second time. Additionally, the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shift to first gear. The vehicle was towed to another dealer, Classic Nissan Newport News (12925 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23608), where the transmission assembly, the ignition coil, and spark plug #1 were replaced. The contact stated while driving after the repair, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while her grandson was occupying the rear passenger's side seat, the seat belt locked and failed to unbuckle.

The CVT transmission has only 80k miles and is changing gears for no reason up and down at all speeds and won’t drive safely. Rpm’s increase and randomly gear kicks in and hits very hard and then stops working.

I was driving along and I went to stop but the brake didn't stop the car so I put in the car in park. Then the brake and engine lights started flashing at me so I turned of the car. I wasn't driving very fast at all, probably less than 20 miles per hour. Then when I restarted the car the brake and engine lights cam back on and the brake still wasn't working, and the car rolled while it was in park. I was not able to move the car to a safe spot. I had to sit partially in a traffic lane near a dangerous, blind curve. A sheriff's deputy saw my car and pulled in behind me to help protect me while we waited two hours for the Auto Club. My mechanic said the transmission totally failed and caused the problems.

The CVT transmission has gone bad on this vehicle, while on vacation the car started sputtering and shut off at a stop light. When I had the car towed to the dealership they told me I needed a new transmission because the torque converter has gone bad. When I complained that the car has only 97,000 some miles the dealership directed me to I-800-Nissan. I provided the requested information and received a call and the gentleman told me my car was not covered under the extended warranty (was extended to 80,000 miles), he went on to say that after researching to see if Nissan could help in any way he found that I had not have service done at one of their dealership and they could not offer any assistance at this time. The quote to replace the transmission with a remanufactured transmission is $4000.00. Upon researching this issue (I believe a transmission with a first maintenance schedule at 100,000 miles should at least make it to that maintenance timeline) I have discovered this CVT transmission problem is widespread among many Nissan models, the Versa included. There were no warning lights or prior problems before it just quit.

A REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT 14,900 MILES IN 2017. NOW, A REAR WHEEL BEARING HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 59,500 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT MAKE ANY CONCESSION ON THE FAULTY PARTS AND/OR FLAW IN THE QUALITY THAT NISSAN IS USING. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT FAIL AT THIS POINT IN A VEHICLE'S LIFE (LOW MILES). THE WHEEL GETS EXTREMELY HOT AND COULD LOCK-UP CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY. THESE CAR MODELS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND REPLACED IF NEEDED BY NISSAN AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. MY VEHICLE IS TILL WITHIN THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT 4 MONTHS BEYOND THE 60 MONTHS.

WHEN TAKING OFF THE TRANSMISSION BELT SLIPS ALL THE TIME SO I TRY TO EASE INTO THE GAS AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE. WHEN A/C IS RUNNING THE CAR HAS ALMOST ZERO ACCELERATION AND HAS A STUTTERING OR STUMBLING ISSUE THAT CAUSES ISSUES UNTIL I HIT 3000 3500 RPM THEN SEEMS TO GAIN POWER. I HAVE ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEEMING TO SLIP OUT OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE BELT WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT, IF THE LIGHT TURNS BEFORE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I GO TO REAPPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, IF I DONT GENTLY APPLY THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION BELT WILL SLIP AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUTTER. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, BUT I HAVE HAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AROUND 40000 MILES, A CRICKET CHIRPING NOISE THAT IN THE BEGINNING WAS ALWAYS AT 2000RPM AND NO WHERES ELSE IN THE RPM RANGE. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE I SEEM TO HEAR THE CHIRPING NOISE ANYWHERE AROUND 1500 RPM TO 2250RPM RANGE. AS WELL I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FAN QUIT WORKING CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVER HEAT PRETTY BAD BUT THE HEAD GASKET DIDNT FAIL LUCKILY. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AN ISSUE WITH THE A/C WHEN IT STARTS UP THE CLUTCH BASICALLY CLUNCKS ON OR MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE KICKING ON AND WHILE THE A/C WOULD RUN BEFORE THE FAN FAILED, THE AIR WOULD START SMELLING VERY VERY BAD. IT SMELLED LIKE CHEMICALS OF SOME SORT AND IT WOULD MAKE ME VERY NATIOUS TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE A/C OFF AND LIVING IN THE DESERT IN TUCSON, ARIZONA THIS DOES NOT MAKE FOR A VERY GOOD COMFORTABLE RIDE AT ALL.

FEB. 10TH 2020 CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUDDERING AND THEN BROKE DOWN IN VALDOSTA GEORIGA. VALDOSTA NISSAN SAID TRANSMISSION WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL FROM CLASS ACTION SUIT.

WAS INFORMED BY SERVICE MANAGER JAMIE BALDWIN THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO TRANSMISSION COOLING TUBE IN RADIATOR FAILED. OF COURSE THE RADIATOR FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED ANYMORE FROM THE EARLIER CLASS ACTION RADIATOR SUIT. I ALSO FILED A CLAIM WITH CONSUMER AFFAIR NISSAN, CASE #39608867. THE REPRESENTATIVE (AUSTIN) I SPOKE WITH DENIED THE CLAIM. I'VE TRIED TO REACH AUSTIN (615) 725-7582 A FEW TIMES TO GET ANY DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS USED FOR HIS DECISION TO DENY THIS CLAIM, BUT HE HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS. I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS AN OBLIGATION TO THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY HAVE SOLD DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND RADIATORS.

12/5/2018 I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON THE NISSAN VERSA 2015 AT 37,000 MILES. 2 MONTHS AT 42,000 MILES LATER CAR MAKING NOISE NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS, AFTER MANY CAR CHECKS WITH AUTO MECHANICS. ON SEPTEMBER 2019 AT 93,000 MILES I RECEIVED A POST CARD ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED BY NISSAN OWNERS AGAINST 2013-2017 NISSAN VERSA AND SENTRA CARS ''CVT' TRANSMISSIONS NOT PROPERLY WORKING TO NOT WORKING AT ALL. I FINALLY HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE NISSAN ONLY MECHANIC SAID MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME AT MOSSY NISSAN HOUSTON, TX. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR. NISSAN MANUFACTURE FAIL TO PROVIDE 100% OF REPAIR COST AND REFUSE TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THEIR TERRIBLE CAR TRANSMISSION CAUSE ME. MANY PEOPLE AND TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS KNOWS NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT GOOD. YOU CAN REPLACE A NISSAN TRANSMISSION TODAY AND THE SAME YEAR OR NEXT YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR WHAT NISSAN MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP DID. II REPLACED THE FIRST TRANSMISSION AT 37,000 MILES IN YEAR 2 OF OWNING MY CAR , AT 42,000 OR 50,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING BAD. AND YEAR 3 AT 93,000 I HAVE TO REPLACED AGAIN. THAT IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD. THE REASON I DID NOT HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR I STRONGLY BELIEVE, IS BECAUSE I PRAYED EVERYDAY WHEN I START DRIVING FOR JEHOVAH GOD TO PROTECT ME, NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AND NOT TO KILL ANYONE WITH THIS CAR. SO EVERY 30,000 MILES OR EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A NISSAN VERSA DEPENDING HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE FOR THE YEAR.. I HAD TO DEAL WITH EXTREME STRESS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL 3 TIMES. PLEASE MAKE MONEY GREEDY NISSAN PAY FOR THEIR DELIBERATE FRAUD ACT. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH A VERY BAD TRANSMISSION.

I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS IS WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES, WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION.

HOWEVER, I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND ADVISE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

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.
