I was driving down the freeway this evening on Saturday December 19th when I am trying to downshift from 6th and trying get off the freeway I couldn't going to gear so that's when I had the cruise until I came to a stop so after turn the car off for a few minutes I put it in first gear and then I proceeded it again and was able to only drive in first gear on the way home
I was driving home from work in the highway I noticed the rpms going high and realized something was wrong with the clutch I heard a noise in the transmission and the clutch was slipping I was able to pull over in a safe spot. My mechanic came to look at it and he told me those cars came out defective from the dual mass flywheel. I have done some research online after this happened and see a lot of the same issue happening to a lot of people.
The transmission failed out of the blue at 150,000 miles. This occurred as the car was turning from a busy road into a parking lot and created a hazardous situation. There was no slipping or leaks to speak of beforehand. The tech who inspected it said that there was an internal seal leak failure. $4100 to replace it (more than the car is worth at this point).
The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Versa. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The dealer diagnosed that the cvt transmission failed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
When driving I can hear a chirping noise from the engine area; when accelerating sounds like coming from the front right hand possibly the tires; the breaks do not react on command; the shifter material on the automobile delaminated; button on seat belt came off; driver rear door coming apart; engine light is on; experienced problems with water intrusion from outside; engine and engine cooling, exterior lighting, noise from steering column, electrical problems radio not working; vehicle has not started at times; rear hatch would not open; the automobile's gas tank had to be replace; when I received a notice of the recall I went to Nissan of bakersfield and asked about the recall for this automobile and they stated "we have nothing to do with that recall notice". we can not help you and they sent me home. The vehicle jerked while driving, the driver's window was inoperable, the gasket was replaced three times. Also, the battery had to be replaced. Updated 12/01/14.
