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.
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.
While on vacation I noticed the steering felt very very touchy, while driving on the freeway in California is seemed any time a bigger vehicle passed me the car would go to one side or the other. I thought maybe the tires were bad, had them checked and it continues today. I am fearful that this is going to cause an accident sooner or later. My car is a 2015 and should not feel like I have no traction or control over the car. This recently had me so scared in a rain storm I had to pull over for a break. I do not feel safe in this car and I have 3 children whom ride and drive this car. This is not the first complaint of this, Nissan needs to fix this before something horrible happens.
Same problem as 2011 complaint. Car is blowing all over the highway. A truck passes by and its time to grip the wheel with both hands just to keep the car on the road. Tire pressure is posted at 33 lbs per the manual. Not sure of solution. I realize the car is very light in weight, but it shouldn't take both hands just to drive it!
Brand new car and was driving between 45-50 on secondary road. Suddenly the car veered sharply to the left, without any notice and I went off the road, rolled over and hit A tree. The car was totaled w/ 25,000+ worth of damages. I had to be taken to the hospital with blood all over the place and badly bruised in chest, shoulder and head area. I was VERY LUCKY that was all, because the car was in pieces. I am writing this to warn other owners of this vehicle to be aware of this being A problem as I am not the only complaint. I hope Nissan realize there is A problem before someone gets seriously injured or worse!
