2013 Nissan Versa owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Nissan versa. When the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to have the fuel tank repaired, the contact was informed that the transmission software needed to be updated. The vehicle was taken to mossy Nissan chula vista (1885 auto park pl, chula vista, ca 91911, (619) 397-6578) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.

CVT transmission doesn’t shift in high gear.

Speed Control, Engine and Transmission issues: After the recall from the manufacture was issued for the the acceleration problems this car still takes long to accelerate and get the car going. It feels like the transmission/ and or engine is ready to go out also and this car is only roughly at 80,000 miles. This car is well maintained.

Every time I want to speed my car slow down, and has a weird sounds in the moter.

Car won’t accelerate past 25mph and is very loud. I took it to a Nissian dealer service center and they told me that they can’t get the code to come up for a transmission but they think that’s the problem. However, the Nissans that came out in 2013 with my make and model had bad transmissions and Nissan won’t help or cover the transmission expenses that existed at the time of manufacturing.

Transmission will not accelerate which can lead to accidents when traffic is unable to slow down when Nissan slows down and will not accelerate. Appears that 2014 had a recall but that recall is not honored for 2013 Nissan versa. A 5 year old car needs a transmission before the car is even paid off

The defroster is not working. I bought this car 3 years ago, first it was the ac that wasn't working now the defroster is not working at all.

I have an issue with my heat shield screws coming undone about every 6 months. I understand this is common on a Nissan versa. There needs to be a recall for this problem with a suitable remedy, so the screws or clamps on the heat shield doesn't continue to loosen up. The rattling noise is very annoying and could cause an accident due to the distraction it causes. The only way to currently tightening the screws or replace them is to bring it to a garage and have the vehicle put on a lift, which is an expense, since this problem will continue well after the warranty has expired. The dealership so called fixed my loosened or replaced my lost clamps several times and I am still either tightening the clamps or replacing them two years after my warranty has expired. I don't see this problem stop

i am getting water in my right tail light bulb so that it is out. i have only 57,000 miles on my car. it is 7 years old. this has no damage to the right tail light. it was just manufactured so it is a damage problem. nobody hit the car there in that area oranything. it just developed to have water in teh light bulb. nissan versa is not a well designed or manufactured car. it falls apart on the buyer. i bought this car new and hardly used it for 7 years. i had another car and used that more. it sat in my driveway falling apart.

The Gear Shift Selector is stuck in Park. Being forced to use the manual override in order to drive, reverse or place car in neutral every time the car is being used. This is ridiculous!

I purchased a brand new Nissan versa sv on may 11, 2013. On december 1, 2013 I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden I could feel my steering wheel pull to the left. Then the entire car started shaking vigorously. My back left tire had blown out. My car only had 6,200 miles on it, my tires are suppose to be good for 60,000 miles. I took the nearest exit and parked in an apartment complex. Thankfully roadside assistance came very quickly. The person who assisted me was shocked that I wasn't in an accident and no damage occurred. When he took the tire off, we looked for damage to the tread, a nail or something that would have caused the blowout. There was no damage to the tread. The tire literally came apart from the side (the part of the tire you see when looking at the car from th
