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.

The button on the shaft handle that changes gears goes soft and doesn't spring back, hence though the gear has changed, the key can't be removed when car in turned off. I took it in and dealer focus was on key, not the button. It works intermittently but that wasn't the fix.
