Nissan Versa problems
Nissan Versa is an automobile nameplate used by the Japanese manufacturer Nissan in the Americas for the following models:
According to a Nissan press release in 2008, "versa" is short for "versatile space" meant to imply the spaciousness of the interior and configurable cargo arrangements. The Versa is one of the few remaining subcompact cars left on sale in the North American market, with most automakers dropping small cars from their lineups to focus on crossovers and SUVs.

Common Nissan Versa problems
The Nissan Versa is a popular compact car known for its affordability and spacious interior. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems that owners have reported.
One of the most common issues with the Nissan Versa is transmission problems, particularly in the 2012-2017 models.
Steering problems have also been reported by Nissan Versa owners, particularly in the 2016 model.
Suspension system problems are another common issue with the Nissan Versa, especially in the 2009 model.
Windshield wiper issues have also been reported, with a broken wiper motor being the most common cause. This can affect the car's visibility, making it unsafe to drive in rainy conditions.
In addition to these issues, the Nissan Versa has also been reported to have problems with the fuel injection system, catalytic converter, and airbag system. While the Nissan Versa is generally considered a reliable car, these common problems are worth considering when purchasing a used model.
Is the Nissan Versa a reliable car?
The Nissan Versa Reliability Rating is 4.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 9th out of 21 for subcompact cars. The average annual repair cost is $456 which means it has excellent ownership costs. The severity of repairs is low while frequency of those issues is average, so major issues are uncommon for the Versa.
Why did Nissan discontinue the Versa?
Many models have disappeared, making way for SUVs and crossovers of all styles and forms. Nissan is no exception to the rule. The Versa sedan was phased out at the end of 2014 in Canada due to low sales figures (but still continued to exist in the U.S.), while the Versa Note hatchback followed suit after 2019.
How many miles will a Nissan Versa last?
While it's impossible to accurately estimate your Versa's total mileage, you can get a rough idea based on available information from reputable sources and owner accounts. Having said that, the Nissan Versa can last up to 200,000 miles before you'll encounter major issues.
What years did the Nissan Versa have transmission problems?
Nissan Versa Years With the Least Reliable Transmissions
The 2012 isn't far behind the 2008 version, suffering from severe transmission faults. The transmission system in this car was so bad that Nissan had to recall the version. The 2007 and 2009 selections also have very severe issues with their transmission.

- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I just got my car yesterday. I was leaving work and my car had no power. I couldn't get up to speed for a very long time, it was as if it was in limp mode. I got home and scanned it and got a P2615 code. upon doing research I have found several others having this problem. It is very scary and dangerous to drive this way. Also, cleared the code and it runs fine until the next time. This problem needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or worse.

Nissan Versa 2024
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-23
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-10
- VIN: 3N1CN8BV1RL
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Brand new Versa delivered 8/16/2024. Started to hear chirping, whirring noise from clutch pedal when halfway depressed (right before bite) and also when releasing pedal, halfway up, when engine is warm. First started at 1200 miles and continues presently. Taken to Nissan dealership on 10/8/2024 and was told their mechanics don’t have the time to drive around and make engine warm to reproduce clutch symptoms. Major concern as this is brand new from the Nissan factory already exhibiting major clutch symptoms indicative of faulty release bearing/release fork, causing potentially catastrophic transmission damage a few hundred or thousand miles from now, when it could have otherwise been prevented promptly, under factory warranty. Vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA. No one injured.

- VIN: 3N1CN8BV1RL
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: New Versa delivered 8/16/2024. Rear seat belt alarm will NOT chime when 1,2, or 3 passenger(s) are seated in the rear without fastening their seatbelts. However when passenger(s) DO buckle in properly, the alarm falsely and unnecessarily chimes for 45+ seconds.
Nissan Versa 2024
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-15
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-10
- VIN: 3N1CN8BV1RL
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: This Versa was purchased brand new with 6 miles on it, delivered 8/16/2024. Strong odor of fuel inside cabin after city driving about 90 minutes in 100+ degree heat with a/c (on either recirculating or fresh air) in [XXX] . So overwhelming, causing burning eyes, throat, and nose forcing me to shut off engine. Predictably occurs when outside heat is over 100 deg F. This occurred within only 30 days of purchase at about 1300 miles, and so far occurred 4 times thus far total since purchase date to present. It took me a few weeks to fully understand the root cause until inspection under hood revealed fuel leakage around fuel injectors where inserted in intake manifold, and possibly fuel rail. Brought car in to Nissan dealer that sold me it and they said they smelled no odor (most likely because engine was cold and they only test drove briefly) and found no leaks. No due diligence or urgency on their part, and it was after their dismissive response that I encouraged sent the service advisor photos of the leaky fuel taken from days prior, in order to be taken seriously and have it fixed with some urgency under warranty, as this leaky fuel on hot manifold can combust or leak into cylinders.

Nissan Versa 2009
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-12
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-04
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: See attached document for complaint.
Nissan Versa 2022
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-11
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-25
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV4NL
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The issue that I am experiencing has been intermittent, however it seems to be a safety concern that Nissan is not taking seriously. As I am driving at any speed with no cars around me the car collision icon will come on and flash as well as the front portion of the car in the advanced driver assistant system will flash yellow. This has happened on more than one occasion, but will always go away eventually. I believe that my safety is at risk because what if I was driving with my cruise control on and this occurred, would it slam on my brakes causing an accident? It has not been duplicated by the dealership that I have taken my car to however I have been able to record it several times when it occurred. There are no other warning lights that come up when this occurs, however I have codes that show that some of my radar sensors are not functioning properly. Nissan has not done anything about this issue and has dismissed it as a common problem with the vehicle when it clearly is a safety issue.
Nissan Versa 2021
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-29
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-20
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV5ML
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: The brakes fight and lock from time to time. The steering will get a tug like a car is in front of me. The engine has a weird tug before pulling of and switching gears.when I pull off while turning the car feels like it completely losses power!?
Nissan Versa 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-18
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-19
- VIN: 3N1CN8BV0PL
- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
- Summary: I stalled my vehicle (5-speed manual) in a drive through. I quickly restarted the vehicle and proceeded through. When I pulled out onto the main road my car had no power. There was nowhere safe to pull over so I had to continue. My car would not accelerate above 20mph and even that was extremely hard. I had to downshift to 1st gear to proceed up the hill. Finally, I was able to pull off and restart my car. This fixed the issue and I was able to drive home. I’ve not stalled the car before so I had never experienced this issue. I’ve read about it, and having it happen is terrifying. Had the car who was driving behind me been going faster, I likely would have been hit when I pulled out of the drive through. This is extremely dangerous.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-17
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-19

Given this car doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles' as our Nissan Rogue, I really love driving this car! It's very responsive and I can't honestly remember ever owning a vehicle in this class that performed this well. Also, the dealership was very professional and courteous...they checked all the boxes. Overall, it was just an outstanding experience and I will definitely go back for our next vehicle.

Vehicle year: 2011
It is a great car, but keep in mind that it is a full compact and may not be very spacious for a family car. It can accommodate big and tall bodies, but may not be very comfortable for long drives of 100+ miles. However, it has low maintenance costs and great gas mileage. Additionally, it holds its value well.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my 2010 Versa SL Hatchback that I bought brand new in 2010. I opted for the premium package and floor mats, which I'm really happy with. On the window sticker, it was rated at 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. During several 500+ mile trips on interstate highways through the mountains of PA, it consistently got 34 mpg - no more, no less. In the city, it's gotten close to 28 mpg, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I did notice that running the a/c or defroster has a negative effect on gas mileage, reducing it by 4 or 5 miles per gallon in city driving. Overall, it's been a very reliable car with no issues. Let me know if you have any questions!

Vehicle year: 2008
Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my car. I've driven it for over 105,000 miles and I'm happy to say that I haven't had any alignment problems, despite what others may have experienced. However, I did have a muffler issue at around 95,000 miles, which is still longer than what most people have reported. According to the manual, the spark plugs should be changed at 105k, but I noticed that it needed changing at around 90k. The best part is that I've never had it stop or lock up in traffic, and I actually get BETTER gas mileage than what's posted! The dealership sold it as 24 city/30 hwy 27 hybrid, but I usually get about 30-35 hybrid driving. Of course, I do my best to drive it right, make sure my tires are inflated, and do maintenance on time. I got it new in 2008 and I drive it A LOT! Thanks for listening to my story.

Vehicle year: 2019
I drove my new 2015 for three years and it was fantastic! I never had any problems or recalls, and it was incredibly reliable and comfortable. When I gave it to my granddaughter, who is a new driver, I felt confident that she would be safe and comfortable in it. I decided to buy a new 2018 for myself, but I don't need all the fancy features like a TV screen, custom sound system, or three hundred horsepower. I sleep better at night knowing that I have a reliable and safe car.
Are you having problems with your Nissan Versa?

Your car is performing really well and getting great gas mileage at 33 city and 41 hwy! However, it seems like the alternator is only producing 12.4 volts and needs to be replaced. It's worth noting that the alternator for the S model can only be purchased at Nissan and it costs $860, but it does come with a one year warranty.

The Nissan Versa has proven to be a highly problematic car, with my daughter's vehicle experiencing a loud humming noise, constant jerking, and hesitation to accelerate, all of which make it unsafe to drive. In fact, the car broke down completely while we were driving it, which was a scary situation. It is my firm belief that Nissan should recall all of these vehicles to ensure the safety of their customers. I urge Nissan to take action on this matter immediately.

'15 Versa may not be the best option for you. It has some issues with the materials used and manufacturing quality. The suspension is not very comfortable and you may feel the bumps on the road. In cold weather, there might be some noise from the dashboard and windshield. However, it does offer a lot of space in the cabin and trunk. It is important to note that it may become unstable over 65mph unless you have enough weight in the car. It is always recommended to check other vehicles in this class before making a decision. Thank you for considering this information.

**UPDATE** Edmunds asked me to update my review. It still stands that Nissan created a great small car, but unfortunately, the transmission is terrible. From my experience, it seems that they are still using the same brand gearbox, so I will leave my original review as is. I would advise avoiding the Versa, Sentra, Altima, Juke, Rogue, and Murano models, as they all have the same failing CVT transmission. In my case, the CVT started slipping at 40,000 miles. I remember being on the highway with a speed limit of 65, and we couldn't get the car above 50 before the gas pedal became useless. The RPM would jump from 1500 to 3000, back to 1500, and we lost acceleration, and could only coast at a slower speed. If you pushed harder, it would redline the RPM gauge, jerk, then drop back to 1500. I hope this information helps you make an informed decision when considering purchasing a Nissan vehicle.

I recently traded in my 2001 Ford Explorer for a 2012 Nissan Versa SV Sedan with the CVT transmission. At first, I was really impressed with the car - it looked great, had good mileage, and drove well during the test drive. However, after a day of driving it, I noticed some issues with acceleration and strange noises coming from under the hood. I took it to the dealership, but they dismissed my concerns and told me it was just because I wasn't used to the CVT transmission. Over time, the issues got worse and worse, with the car vibrating and making loud noises when idle. Eventually, the car stalled in the middle of an intersection, causing a dangerous situation. Despite my attempts to get the dealership to address the issues, they were dismissive and unhelpful. It was a frustrating and scary experience, but thankfully no one was hurt. The next day, I went straight to the dealership and informed them that something had to be done. I requested a trade-in, but unfortunately, they were unable to accommodate my request. Instead, they suggested fixing the transmission, which I agreed to. During the three weeks it took to replace my transmission with a new one (@ 74,000 miles), I was given a rental car. On Thursday afternoon (3/23/17), I was informed that my car was ready to be picked up. However, as soon as I drove out of the dealership, I noticed that the vibration was still present, along with the humming noise. The brakes also seemed to be acting up, with a jerking motion, and the acceleration was better but not perfect. I immediately called my mother and informed her of the situation, and we decided to go back to the dealership the next day (Friday... 3/24/17). When we arrived, we were upset and angry, but unfortunately, everyone seemed to be getting annoyed with us. We were told that the transmission had been fixed and that nothing was wrong with my car. I overheard a salesman say that we were just looking to trade because I wanted a new car. They suggested that a technician drive the car with me, but unfortunately, no one would listen to me and drive the car longer than 2 minutes around the block. You had to drive it for about ten minutes to start to hear the humming sound and feel the vibrations. I became very upset and left because we were just getting the run around AGAIN! Later that day, the hum noise became worse and worse, and at about 11:30 pm that Friday night, I was driving home from clinicals when I heard an awful clanking noise coming from under the car, which I could feel in the floorboard. I thought it would be okay until I got home because I was so close. I only had one stop sign to stop at before getting to my house.As I was driving away from the stop sign, I noticed that my car was making a loud hum and clank noise. To my surprise, the car started veering to the right and no matter how much I turned the steering wheel to the left, it wouldn't go left. I immediately tried to brake, but the car acted like it didn't want to brake. It jerked and continued to go to the right. Eventually, I had to stop by hitting a speed limit sign! I was so scared that I called my mother and asked her to come down the road. We called the sheriff department and wrecker service to come out there. I didn't turn the car off when I got out just because I didn't think about it. As my mother and I were standing out there waiting for them to arrive, we started to hear this loud fan type noise coming from under the hood and saw a slight glimpse of smoke. We immediately turned the car off! Now, my car is at the body shop and we are going to the dealership first thing when they open on Monday! I would advise against buying a Versa, as I know other people who have had similar issues with their cars.
