Problem overview

Some Nissan Versa owners report experiencing a variety of transmission problems, including shuddering, fluid leaks, delayed engagement, loss of power, and even transmission failure. Specific model years, such as 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2014, have been particularly noted for these issues, with the 2014 model facing significant concerns related to its continuous variable transmission (CVT). Symptoms of transmission trouble may manifest as jerky acceleration, unusual noises, and in severe cases, can render the vehicle undrivable if not addressed promptly. Repair costs for these transmission issues can average around $3,500, and some owners have encountered difficulties with warranty coverage, finding that repairs were not covered by Nissan even shortly after the warranty period expired. These reports highlight the importance for Nissan Versa owners to remain vigilant for signs of transmission issues to prevent more serious complications.
