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.

Car developed a LOUD RATTLE...VERY ANNOYING. Looked up common complaints with the 2013 Versa on the internet. Found many heat shield complaints for the 2012, 2013 Versa. Took it to my local mechanic. Shield is like a double piece of aluminum foil. It tore away at the bolts. The Tech refastened it with washers on the 4 bolts. Hope it holds. Honestly, it's so thin, I question how functional it is.
