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.

After having my ECM software updated, just 4 days later my locking system goes out! The car still locks but it sounds like you are in the game of Operation! Took the car in and they said it would cost me nearly $400 to fix it! I don't have an extra $400 to shell out on my POS Nissan!
