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.

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.

THE HORN YOU CAN'T EVEN HEAR IT SITING IN THE CAR, I HAD PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPOT NEXT TO A BIG 4X4 DIESEL PICKUP HE STARTED TO BACK UP AND TURNED HIS WHEELS STARTED TO COME ON ME. I LAID ON THE HORN, HE DID NOT HEAR ME. HE STOPPED WHEN HIS TRUCK WAS NOT MOVING. HE RAN ME OVER FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TO THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR.THEN AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK I WAS BACKING UP IN A PARKING LOT THE PERSON BEHIND ME BACKED INTO ME AND I WAS LAYING ON THE HORN. IT IS TO WEAK.
