2008 Nissan Versa 4dr Sedan
122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD
| 14600 mi | Transmission doesn't allow shifting out of park or between gears that require the shift knob be fully depressed. The knob does not depress and there is resistance. Putting a screwdriver in the shift lock overrides the problem but becomes annoying. |
2008 Nissan Versa 4dr Sedan
122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 67000 mi US $7000 |
Full transmission replacement following a clutch failure. Possibly linked to accident, however could be manufacturer defect based on my personal research into the matter. There have been several cases reported of this same thing happening. |

122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD

A pushrod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch slave cylinder snapped. Entire slave cyl. had to be replaced- the pushrod can't be bought separately. As the pushrod is made of plastic, technician noted, "will inevitably fail again." |
