In owners' own words
The problem that the vehicle has is in the transmission. It does not have any light on the panel to notify me of any problem. My vehicle has 57000 miles and the transmission changes irregularly and sometimes it goes down without having slowed down, forcing me to stop completely on the road it is truly worrying. I have done internet searches on 2014 Versa transmissions and many people have had the same problem. Power train
Car has a little less than 35000 miles. The car has terrible problems engaging any gear. Transmission is wasted. I was going to cambria from orange county. I felt the car a little weird arriving in cambria, but it still ruined. As I was coming to orange county, the car abandoned me in the freeway. I had to take it off the highway and drive through streets to my house. Car is broken. Power train · reported at 34,600 miles
After having the transmission recall update performed by Nissan the transmission is having issues with shifting. I have to let off of the accelerator for the transmission to downshift. I contacted Nissan and they made a case and said I would have to pay for them to fix the problem even though they knew of the issues with the transmission. Power train · reported at 103,000 miles
