Gear Shift Stuck In Park
2012 Nissan Versa
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
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.

Car wouldn't start (or even turn over), knew it had something to do with the shift because when I took it from park, to neutral to park again, it would work. The bushing on the transmission shift cable had worn out due to a seized pivot. Also can't just replace the pivot either, you have to replace the whole thing. It's a pain in the ass too because you can't get to it from the inside of the car, you have to drop the exhaust, drop the heat shield, and then replace the whole length of the cable from the shifter to the transmission.
