CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2017 Nissan Versa has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data from the earlier model years in this 2nd generation Nissan Versa.

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.

Sunlight came thru right front door window. Hitting the speedometer/tachometer area causing temporary blindness in driver at 60 mph. Speedometer/tachometer has a small ring of shiny chrome around each. Both reflected light to the drivers eyes. Fortunately no accident accorded this has happened two times since.
