2015 Nissan VERSA NOTE problems and owner complaints

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY FROM A TURN, PROBABLY GOING 5 MPH, AT A SLIGHT UP GRADE, AND MY CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED -- IT STOPPED. THE ENGINE WAS ON, RUNNING NORMAL, BUT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS, FLOORED IT, EVEN, THERE WAS ZERO RESPONSE. NO REVVING, NOTHING. I SWITCH GEARS TO LOW, THEN PARK, THEN REVERSE, THEN DRIVE. STILL NOTHING. THEN AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE HAD PASSED SINCE THE INITIAL FAILURE, IT STARTED TO REV A BIT AT LOW RPMS, THEN FINALLY KICK IN AND DRIVE ME UP MY DRIVEWAY. THIS OCCURRED ON THE SAME DRIVE IN WHICH THE CAR WAS LURCHING,…

DRIVING AS I NORMALLY DO ON MY NORMAL ROUTE, DOING ABOUT 30 MPH, AND CAR WOULDN'T MAKE THE CORNER. WENT OVER CURB, BENT THE RIM IN TWO PLACES, AND OF COURSE RUINED THE TIRE.

DROVE TO DEALER, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $500.00 TO REPAIR DAMAGE. ESTIMATE INCLUDED RIM, OEM TIRE, PLASTIC WHEEL COVER ($80.00) TOLD IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO HAVE A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE SCARY THIN…

WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON, ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT DOWN EXCEPT FOR THE TURNING INDICATORS, ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. ACCELERATOR NO LONGER FUNCTIONED NOR DID THE BREAK ASSIST. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN THROUGH TURNING THE KEY IGNITION. THE CAR REMAINED IN THAT STATE UNTIL I SHOOK BATTERY CABLES (WHICH WERE NOT LOOSE AND MAINTAINED FULL CONTACT BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SHAKING). AFTERWARDS, THE CAR STARTED AS USUAL WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, ALL INSTANCES…

THE FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE ONCE BELOW 3/8THS OF A TANK. THIS COULD LEAD TO A STALL ON THE FREEWAY OR IN A DANGEROUS AREA LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM LEAVES INSUFFICIENT TIME TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. OUR PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAD THE METER AT 3/8THS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND, WHEN TURNED BACK ON, THE GAUGE WAS SHOWING EMPTY. IN ADDITION TO THE PROBLEM OF A STALL CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT, THE FUEL PUMP USES GASOLINE TO COOL AND LUBRICATE IT, LEADING TO POTENTIAL LONG-TERM PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SY…

Fuel gage is inaccurate and fuel keeps dropping fast. After a week of this check engine came on after checking fuel pump, it was determined the pump was brand new and had no issues. A recall was done on the fuel line last year had it check at Nissan dealership and service rep stated the line was fine and advised the rep that didn't explain when the fuel gage is inaccurate or the fuel dropping fast if the fuel line and my fuel pump are fine. They never rechecked it...now engine light is on and code is reading P0193 which that indicates a fuel se…
