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.

My passenger door has been catching on something as it opens. The black plastic piece that stretches out as you open the door is visibly scratched, as if it is catching on metal in the door. The window also has been getting stuck and would not roll down all the way. This weekend the door was hard to open, and when I opened the door, the window got off track. My boyfriend and I tried to see if we could move it, but did not want to mess it up any more than it already was. He went to roll it down just a little, and the whole window shattered. I dont know what caused this, because the car has never been in an accident. The car was off and parked.
