“When I started, the car I was surprised by a loud sound. I called the mechanic who came to my home. It turns out the sound was the muffler. I had to replace a rusted muffler for a car with low mileage. The car is driven short distances 1-2 times a week.”
NHTSA complaint #10569457, filed 2014-03, 40,000 miles“My transmission was unable to upshift to highway speeds. The closest Nissan dealer verified my CVT transmission had adequate fluid. I limbered the car home. Upon searching the internet I read numerous posts of multiple owners with similar problems with Nissan's 2007-2010 model year CVT transmissions. Nissan, admitted to their flawed CVT transmission by extending the warranty to 10 years/120 k miles. I filed a warranty claim with Nissan as I was just slightly over the mileage warranty but well within the time frame part of the warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10731170, filed 2015-06, 124,050 miles“Car was at a dead stop in my driveway. I went to back out of my driveway...and as always I started the car with my foot on the brake...put the car in reverse...began to lift my foot off the brake to coast back again as usual...without ever touching the gas pedal. The car shot back like a bullet...traveled about 45 to 50 feet and slammed into the driver side door of a parked panel truck. The car then shot forward again like a bullet and slammed into a fence pole that was set in cement. …”
NHTSA complaint #10373593, filed 2010-12, 21,000 miles“Known Nissan CVT transmission issue on 2007 Nissan Versa and many other Nissan vehicles equipped with the CVT transmission. Our 2007 Versa stopped moving while in drive in an extremely busy intersection - thankfully it did not result in a serious accident. We were able to pull off to the side of the road, put it in park and then back into drive to get it back home. Nissan has officially recognized & noted this CVT transmission issue on thier Nissan CVT customer satisfaction program website and has extended the warranty to cover effected/faulty transmissions. …”
NHTSA complaint #10661636, filed 2014-12, 115,400 miles“Have had our 2007 Versa for 2 1/2 years and have had no issues up until last week. When driving in the mountains had to stop, put car in reverse and car would not move. Put in drive and car moved but was sluggish. Later car drove normally. Took to dealer 6/4/10 found code p746 and replaced TCM. Dealer dealt with issue great. Just reporting in case of future recall issues or other people have same problem.”
