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.

I have had my Nissan Versa 2015 sv since April of last year with a automatic cvt transmission it currently has 20,300 miles on it and I have two problems that could possibly be transmission issues. I do not have any specific date of when these problems occurred they started about two months ago. When I shift from park to reverse, neutral, and drive the car jerks extremely hard. Also when I accelerate while driving it seems like it has problems shifting gears between 40 and 50 mph and sometimes will not shift unless I release the acceleration pedal. This is especially a problem and safety issue for myself and others when I am getting on the highway as I cannot speed up properly which could result in a crash. I have not contacted the company or the dealership ( because they are not the friendliest of dealerships) about my problem but I hope I can get some kind of solution through you.

I have a Nissan Versa sl model, the trunk does not close properly. Everyday I have trouble closing the trunk of my car, the car makes a beeping sound alarming me that my trunk is open, I try closing it and it will not latch on. The only way I can close it, is if I have the car door open. So I close the trunk first, then I close the car door in order for my trunk to close. This is an issue and very annoying. Please recall the trunk latch.

Every time I get gas my car cuts off. I pumped the gas start the car and drive a couple feet and car cuts off. Nissan doesn't think its important and that sense they can't see the probe it isn't true. I don't want my car to stop in the middle of traffic due to whatever is going on. Brakes get stuck or goes to the floor when trying to stop and gas drains very quickly.

I was coming out of my drive way at 5-10 mph and the car accelerated without me putting my foot on the gas. It was not a huge acceleration but I still have concerns.
