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.

2013 Nissan Versa Owner Comments

problem #1

Oct 102019

Versa ES 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 73,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Car stalled (no power brakes or steering) ON THE INTERSTATE....TWICE!!! Modern Nissan of Lake Norman had my car of 10 days and gave me the run around on the issues: bad fuel pump, bad spark plugs, alleged white smoke from tail pipe (which never happened when I had it....). Corporate agreed to pay 80% of the fuel pump that the service representative told me that he was 100% sure would fix the stalling and resolve all issues with the car. Now they have called me after 10 days of "We are still running diagnostics, we aren't sure why the check engine won't go off and is reading a cylinder 3 misfire" and told me that the car needs a new engine.

Sounds like a major manufacturing defect to me that they are trying to cover up at MY EXPENSE. I will find out on Monday if Corporate is going to assist me with a percentage of the cost. The car is a 2013, with 73k miles on it. It was bought brand new from the dealership and had checkups at the dealership every 5k miles.
