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.
It is very frustrating to know that Nissan knew there is a transmission problem with this year and cut off what mileage they will cover. We have a 2016 with 120,000 miles and the car just died while driving it. I was at a stop sign and it just stopped. It was 100 degrees outside and we have been thankful enough to have people who helped push it to the side. Nissan wanted over $4500 to repair it. I haven't even finished paying it off. So now what? No car. And how is Nissan helping with their defects...
Driving home from Houston and car just start losing power, no gas pedal. Out of the blue I am stuck on the highway without a clue. Car has been getting regular services and we have a history of it. Looked into recalls and found that earlier models same car have had issues. I was told by dealership (Carmax and Nissan) "oh well, nothing we can do". Not even a suggestion, just "oh well"!!!!!!
