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.

Takata recall. I believe my car is included in the recall. It is a Nissan Versa 2013. The airbag light had recently started flashing without anything major happening to the car. The passenger seatbelt light had started flashing after I was involved in a small hit and run accident that affected the rear of my vehicle. I was in full stopped motion at a turning red light and an unknown person had rear ended my car, shortly after I had noticed the passenger seatbelt light had started flashing. I am in fear that the airbag light might or might not have to do with the hit and run, but it just started a few weeks ago while the accident was over 2 years ago. Please review as this is really important to me and I fear that I might get injured if the airbags are recalled and I get into another accident. Thank you.

Whenever my wife who is about 100 pounds sits in the front passenger seat of our 2013 Nissan Versa ls, the airbag light goes on and the airbag safety feature is turned off. We are driving a rental from the dealer now, a 2013 Nissan rouge and it works just fine. The dealer states that our Versa works as intended"??" even with my wife and my 4 year old in the front passenger seat, now total of 132 pounds the airbag light still turns on and disengages the airbag safety feature.
