The economy-oriented RE0F09 is sensitive to fluid condition. Versa owners frequently neglect CVT service, leading to early belt wear.
Symptoms: Jerking at low speeds, whine under acceleration, DTC P0868
Stop-and-go city driving wears the steel start clutch plates. Chicago traffic patterns accelerate this wear.
Symptoms: Shudder when pulling away from stop, DTC P0810
The line pressure solenoid fails, reducing belt clamping force and causing slip under load.
Symptoms: Slip under moderate-to-hard acceleration, DTC P0776 or P0840
