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.

I am so fed up with this car. At 20,000 miles I had the tires wearing, so I took it in and they said it was NORMAL wear. So I replaced the tires, drove on road and the ROAR was loud. I took it in and the rear seal on the rear axel was GONE, so they replaced that, then I had a clunking noise that they told me they didn't hear. I took it to another facility and the engine mounts were busted, then the control arms were worn, then at 40,000 the transmission went (as they told me nothing was wrong), then the damn fuel pump went at 58,000. Then at 60,200 the clutch slipped and broke - ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I went to dealer to trade in and they said they would only trade for a new Sentra. I told them I didn't trust the brand and went across the street and bought a Toyota. I can't believe they actually sell these throw away cars.
