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 continues to drift, blow, fly into other lanes, most prevalent on open road and interstate, at speeds appropriate for roads. I'm surprised that I have not been pulled over and given sobriety testing yet. I'm all over the road, fighting to keep in my lane, continually crossing the lane dividing lines. Dealership kept overnight this time. Said they found it to be severely out of alignment and fixed this, stating it corrected the issue. There is NO improvement. Again, had to cancel trip to see ailing mother in law due to not feeling the car is safe for an interstate trip of any length. The dealership insists the car performs as it was designed to. They claim the car blows around because it's a small car. They act like I've never driven a small car. All of my cars over the past 40 years have been small. I traded a Mazda Miata in on this one.
Car will not drive straight, all over the road, literally blows into other lanes. Happens majority of time on open road or interstate. I have to fight car to keep under control constantly. Dealership service states it "performs as it was manufactured to perform." Had to cancel trip out of town to see rapidly declining mother in law. Took in to dealership originally at 2000 miles, just to give myself a chance to get used to it, just in case it was a problem with me.
At the suggestion of Nissan North America, took car to a different dealer. Same thing... told that the car performs as designed. They lied to me about taking on interstate for test drive, as starting mileage and ending mileage was 1 mile difference, basically a trip around the block. Car still is all over the road. Not safe. My anxiety level rises each time I have to get behind the wheel.
