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.

Versa Versa 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,200 miles

Defects, front struts, upper bushings damaged and replace just after 36000 miles, while the front struts are bouncing just around 40 to 50 mph. If you are diving on the highway the instability is worst right about 60 miles and over. This is very dangerous and may cause accidents. When I addressed the situation to Nissan Corporation, they decline to fix it at no cost, claiming that the manufacture warranty has expired after the 3 years/or 36,000 miles.

I also had a whole strut assembly replaced on the front left when I took it up to have the sway bar checked out the first time. I didn't even notice that a strut was gone. I didn't have to pay for it so I didn't care. But it did not fix the problem that I originally took it in for.
