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.

Went to Nissan dealer and was told the valve body had to be replaced and the cost would be $3200 CDN, $2200 US, Went to a independent transmission garage and still ended up costing $1200 US. Just over warranty period of 1000,000 km. Is a know problem but Nissan does not recall them.
