CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2017 Nissan Versa has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.

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.

Versa transmission started to malfunctioning at around 84,000 miles and not code on dashboard. Called Nissan for warranty but they said not in warranty miles anymore. I think Nissan should warm buyer and drivers about transmission problem with dashboard indications.
