Software Malfunction

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

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.

So, my transmission felt like it was going out for a 3rd time. But no, instead Nissan updated my entire software system and claimed that that would fix the problem. It hasn't. There's still not much power to my POS Nissan. And on top of that, they disconnected my horn and forgot to connect it so I had to take it back in for them to reconnect it. Pain in my ass!
