A woman says she took her 2016 Nissan Versa Note to the dealership for a transmission repair five days before her warranty was up and the service department \u201cconveniently\u201d couldn\u2019t find an issue.<\/p>\n
TikTok user Nala (@nalaoneandtwo<\/a>) recounted the ordeal in a video posted on July 5. In the video, she says she bought a brand-new Nissan Versa Note in 2016 and paid it off two years later. She loved the Peacock colored vehicle.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, last June, the Peacock-colored Versa\u2019s continuously variable transmission (CVT) failed.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a class action lawsuit,\u201d Nala says. \u201cThey paid for half of the transmission; I had to pay for half. Once they put it in, they go, \u2018Oh, by the way, you only get a 1-year, 10,000-mile warranty on a brand-new transmission.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n ‘You Can’t Touch Anything to Turn It Off:’ Woman Says Her Kia K5 Randomly Makes a Noise. It Stops if the Car Sits for 40 Minutes<\/a> The issues Nala is describing with her 2016 Nissan Versa Note\u2019s transmission are part of a much larger pattern of consumer complaints plaguing Nissan vehicles equipped with its CVT transmissions<\/a>. Drivers say the transmissions are prone to premature failure, shaking, and other symptoms that appeared just outside the powertrain warranty window.<\/p>\n In 2020, Nissan North America agreed to a class action settlement<\/a> that covers several models, including the 2012-2017 Nissan Versa<\/a> and the 2014-2017 Nissan Versa Note.<\/p>\n The settlement provided an extension of the new vehicle limited warranty from 60 months\/60,000 miles to 84 months\/84,000 miles, or whichever occurs first.<\/p>\n Nala says she didn\u2019t like the terms of the warranty, but she didn\u2019t have any other options.<\/p>\n Then, this June, she had another problem with her Versa and took it to a local repair shop. The mechanic there told her the transmission was failing again, and she should take it to the Nissan dealership to get serviced.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when Nala realized her one-year warranty was up in just five days. So she rushed over to the dealership and had the service team look at it<\/p>\n The technician she spoke to told her he couldn\u2019t find anything wrong with the transmission. Instead, he found another issue that would cost $1,200 to fix.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, isn\u2019t that convenient for you that there\u2019s five days left on the warranty,\u201d Nala remembers saying.<\/p>\n Ultimately, she decided against fixing the Versa. Instead, she took it to a Toyota dealership to trade it in.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI just have no words. I\u2019m so done,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n In the comments section, Nissan owners offered their thoughts on the brand. One person said, \u201cI\u2019m so glad you made a video about Nissan. People need to know.\u201d<\/p>\n Several people detailed their personal struggles with Nissans.<\/p>\n \u201cI had a 2010 Nissan Rogue that continuously had issues, but the dealers always denied any issues\u2026 until my warranty expired,\u201d one wrote. \u201cNever going to get another Nissan.\u201d<\/p>\n Another person added, \u201cMan, Nissans with a CVT are so wishy-washy. Either it\u2019s lasting an eternity or cooked off the rip. My Altima has 215,167 miles and somehow no issues.\u201d<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> reached out to Nala via TikTok comment and direct message for comment.
