CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2017 Nissan Versa has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data from the earlier model years in this 2nd generation Nissan Versa.
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.
Car suddenly starts whining everyday now on low gears. CVT transmission is going out at 96k mi, alerting me with the whining sound.
The car has left me stalled in the oncoming lanes while making left turns across traffic. Giving it gas does not register to the wheels until a solid 2 or 3 seconds later. In other words, if you need to gas it across traffic or merge onto a freeway you may have no power enough to go and there is high chance of being hit and dying (too many close calls this month alone). I'm now forced to go way overboard with caution when traveling anywhere.
