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.

2012 Nissan Versa Owner Comments

Versa VS 3.2L

  • CVT transmission
  • 40,000 miles

The Versa is the worst car I ever owned. I am 55 and driving for over 30 years. If you like roller coasters this car might be for you, when you hit a pothole, your windshield wipers go on and your body hurts, it's painful. Needed 3 wheel alignments already and learned over 300 people died in accidents in the 2012 Versa Sedan. I will not sell this car, it should be illegal, stay away..........................
