CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2017 Nissan Versa has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.

In late 2019, the CVT defect was subject to a class action settlement. However the settlement only covers transmission repairs up to 7 years after purchase or 84,000 miles (whichever occurs first).

Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Versa owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

2012 Nissan Versa Owner Comments

Versa SL 1.8L

  • CVT transmission

Vehicle was involved in no fault accident 1 week after purchase. Repaired by dealer/insurance company approved shop. Nissan Canada is giving me problems about honoring warranty. Standard excuse is "car was involved in an accident". Still no heat and it is minus 15 outside, car cannot be safely driven, ices up inside. Nissan Canada is dragging there heals. May end up in the courts.
