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.

problem #1

Versa SV Special Edition 1.6L 4 cyl

  • CVT transmission
  • 535 miles

Changing lanes, saw the other vehicle stopped approximately 25-35' away, so I hard braked at 20 MPH to avoid a collision but brakes would not lock up to bring the vehicle to a stop. This caused a collision and I'm now being sued for injuries.
