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.

The seatbelt was able to easily become disengated by hardly touching the release. There was an auto accident that resulted in the paralysis and eventual death of the driver. The driver was T-boned while making a left turn on a green light at the intersection. The other driver was cited for excessive speed and failure to keep a proper lookout. It is our belief that his forearm brushed the release on the seatbelt and caused the seatbelt to discharge at the time of impact. I have a video better conveying this, but it is comprises too much data to upload on this form. Updated 10/19/17 updated 7/26/18..
