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.

I purchased this car a year ago - Feb 2013. Did not notice how bad the problem is because I drive very little - rarely over 45 mph around town. In March 2013 I drove 700 plus miles, and experienced a very difficult time keeping the car in my lane. Mostly it pulls to the right. I was stopped by a policeman because I was weaving all over the road. I crossed the center lane several times as well as driving on the shoulder of the road. On the 23 of December, went on to the right shoulder of the road and could not get the car back on the road. It was raining and once I got on the grass the picked up speed and just took off. It took me about 3/4 of a mile before I could get the car stopped. I drove over two pipes that were under the driveways and tore the bottom of the car up. Repairs total $6,500 plus. Today is 2/14/14 and the car is still in the shop - since the 1st week of JANUARY 2014. I now have the hassle of trying to sell the car because I am afraid to drive it. It's a very nice car and handles well except for the ultra sensitive steering.
