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.

accident due to defective front coil spring accident due to defective front coil spring accident due to defective front coil spring accident due to defective front coil spring accident due to defective front coil spring accident due to defective front coil spring

My mother was involved in a car accident with her 2012 Nissan Versa in May 2015 that veered out of control hitting a concrete barrier and sent her to the hospital with 15 broken ribs, a broken sternum, broken back and broken right hand. She needed surgery to put her ribs and sternum back together with titanium bars and rods. She was in the hospital, then a rehab, and then a nursing home for two months. In November of 2015 we received a recall in the mail saying there was a production issue with the front coil springs that may affect the handling of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

I believe that Nissan is responsible for this accident and my mother should be compensated!!!!!
