Nissan Versa in Michigan, United States Jun 2017 - Jun 2022
May 2018 55000 mi US $100	Check Engine light was on and Transmission was slipping out & back into gear at idle, and was bumping hard when put into Drive. After online research we discovered some dealers were replacing taillights due to some electrical problem in them that affected the transmission. Called Nissan Dealer for appt., but there was a 2 week waiting list. Because of that, and because our car was just 1 month out of the powertrain warranty, I went ahead and ordered both taillight assemblies and while waiting for them to arrive I inspected and cleaned the terminals on each one. The problem seems to have gone away so far (a few months - but not many miles yet) and I haven't yet actually installed the new ones. Still unsure of the repair being permanent as the weather has changed quite a bit since then as well (mostly dryer and warmer), and I've come to learn these cars have troublesome CVT transmissions to begin with. In fact, some others have had to have their transmissions replaced with the same exact symptoms we've experienced. Some have paid up to $4,000 or more from what I understand. At this point the car is probably only worth about $4,000 to $6,000 so might not be worth putting that much money into it.

Aug 2010 26660 mi	A clunking noise noticed when turning right. Mentioned to dealer at service and both strut bearings were replaced under warranty. Service manager indicated there was an 'alert' out on these as being problematic. A/C failed,inspection discovered previous dye was leaking. Vehicle to be repaired, but shop machinery failed and I am waiting to find time to rebook. Expect to be re-embursed for previous a/c recharge as this failure is under warranty.
Oct 2010 29760 mi	air conditioning compressor was replaced.
Jun 2011 37820 mi C $60	Warm weather arrived and A/C not working after being repaired last autumn. Warranty has just expired, but dealer paid for half a recharge and flushed and checked system for leaks. A/C works again. We'll see...

Dec 2015 83700 mi C $250	Passenger Airbag Warning Light on! 2 diagnostic waste of money trips did not solve issue. Next step costs 2700. Opted not to repair. Car is probably worthless and sitting in the 'death seat' unnerving. Probably replace it soon. Not happy.
Mar 2016 83700 mi	No repair done. We sold the vehicle at a reduced price because passenger side air bag light was on. Would have kept vehicle a few more years otherwise. Nissan dealer and company would do nothing to fix this safety issue.
