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 AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN. THIS IS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD'VE COVERED ME UP TO 120,000 MILES. IT'S MESSED UP. I SAY DON'T GET A NISSAN.
