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.

Hello. About two years ago I bought a pair of kumho solus KH25 tires form a local tire shop. While traveling to visit family for the fourth of July, 1 of the tires, mounted on the front, had a it tread separation while driving on the interstate highway. Although the dealer said there was no warranty on the tire, which I am ok with, I feel that the brand of tire may have to be recalled because with today's advanced technology this should not have happened. Your thoughts on this matter are appreciated. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Tires out of round. Tires cause vehicle to shake and wobble. Goodyear replaced both tire under warrant. Tires were only a month old. Problem was noticed immediately, thought it was a balance issue. After having tires rebalanced by two different shops there was still an issue. When I contacted the Goodyear 800# they helped with replacement under warranty.
