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 #2

Nov 122015

Versa Versa 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,000 miles

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

SUSPENSION: Both sides Front Struts Mounts and Right side Lower Control Arm, also called Ball-Joints are defective in just 3 years, right after the 36 months manufacture warranty expired. This is causing the car to bounce at moderate speed and more dangerously so on the highways. The vehicle would wander right to left uncontrollably.

STEERING U-JOINT DEFECTS: There is an ongoing noise while vehicle is driven and the steering column is shaking up unnecessarily and excessively.As a result, my tires are won out unevenly and more often during the pass three years.

MUFFLER: Also, the heat shield that protect the body from the muffler, located under the vehicle, has ripped like a thin foil paper; therefore making excessive noise. The screws gave up easily and will not hold the heat shield in place correctly as it drops on the muffler.

Versa SV

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39 miles

I cannot go on the highway, pass larger truck/vehicles or drive on windy days because I totally lose control of my car. I am pushed all over the road when any gust of wind passes by me. Very scary and dangerous. Limits me to what roads and conditions I drive in.
