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.

problem #1

Versa 4-cyl

  • 300 miles
Warning light came on and when I pulled into a Nissan dealership they told me that the warning light indicated that the airbag system was off line. Today is 2/19 and they are still having difficulty getting the part that is located under the passenger front seat. The service department indicated the number of failures of this part might result in a recall. My company has 15 of these new vehicles that we use for our nurses in the field. My vehicle is the only one so far to have an issue. All same make and model and year.
