Common 2020 Nissan Versa problems
The 2020 Nissan Versa has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues include the backup camera not displaying an image, the A/C blowing weak, and noise from the wheels.
- Backup Camera Not Displaying an Image: This is the most widespread complaint from 2020 Versa owners, with issues starting around 1,500 miles. The problem can be resolved with software updates available for the camera system, which dealerships will install for free on affected models.
- A/C Blowing Weak: Some Versa owners have reported that the A/C blows weak, especially after 10,000 miles. This problem is usually caused by a clogged or dirty cabin air filter, which costs around $45 to replace. However, there are also reports of damage to the A/C fan system, which can cost $300 or more to swap out.
- Noise from the Wheels: Noise from the wheels has been reported on some Versa models around 20,000 miles. The wheel bearings tend to wear out quickly and have to be replaced, with the cost of changing out the wheel bearings around $250, depending on local labor rates.
In addition to these issues, there are two recalls on the 2020 Nissan Versa. The most serious recall covers the fuel tank, which may have insufficient welds and leak gas. Nissan will replace the fuel tank on affected models for free. The other recall covers turn signal bulbs, which dealers will also change out for free.
It is important to note that the 2020 Nissan Versa has a shorter estimated lifespan compared to some other small cars, such as the Toyota Corolla. A well-maintained 2020 Versa can last around 200,000 miles, but regular annual maintenance costs are higher than some competitors, according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $446 per year.
When the 2020 Nissan Versa reaches 100,000 miles, owners should be prepared to replace the tie rods costing $175, ignition coil costing $300, along with the window regulator, which costs around $400.
In terms of reliability, Consumer Reports expects the 2024 Versa to have about average reliability when compared to other new cars. This prediction is based on similar models, plus the Nissan brand scores.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-01
- VIN: 3N1CN8FV7LL
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I am not sure which component or system is failing neither does Nissan however it is available for inspection. This vehicle will stall in traffic starting at high speeds and it fails to accelerate while driving which’s puts my safety and other drivers at risk. The dealership has not been able to properly diagnose or repair this ongoing problem. This problem has persisted for 2 years. It has only been inspected by the dealer ship at two different locations. Of the seven times it has been to the shop only one time the check engine light came on. No other lights have ever been ignited on the dashboard.

- VIN: 3N1CN8EV9LL
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Stock road tires are 205x55/16 - diameter of 24.9”. Stock spare tire is 125x70/15 - diameter of 21.9”. The spare tire is 3” smaller than the road tire or 17.9% smaller. Checking other marques, the spare typically is less than 7% smaller and some web sites say 3% is a good limit. I am aware of the 50 mile, 55 mph limits. Is it safe to put the spare tire on a front wheel position of this FWD car? NissanUSA refers all questions to the local dealer who says no problem. Thank you.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-10-18
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV5LL
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Safety is at risk for multiple reasons one because a month upon receiving this brand new vehicle with 40 miles on it I’ve been experiencing malfunctioning problems. I am not able to receive a forward collision warning at times. I’m not sure if these electrical problems also caused my battery to die a few weeks later. In these moments is the start of when the malfunction notification would appear daily. Two— The transmission has been having issues for a long time as well. My drives no longer have a smooth transition when I press the gas it stutters and will not accelerate immediately. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. I brought my car new once again so am very disappointed at how much needs to be worked on and do not want to purchase from Nissan ever again.

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-05
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV3LL
- Components: POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: When vehicle is engaged into gear it won’t move or moves very slowly. As I turn on my car and change the gear into drive or reverse and I accelerate the car won’t move at all. I’ve had this happen many times either after I’m moving from a parked spot or after stopping at a red light. My car was inspected and they told me it was fine nothing was wrong. But the very next it happened again. My safety was put at risk because my car won’t accelerate in the middle of traffic or roads where I could get hit by another vehicle. There are currently no warning lamps or messages that are on my dashboard and there are no codes on my car was well the mechanics have said there is nothing they can find wrong with my car. It also happens at very random times making it unpredictable and dangerous. The latest incident occurred 01/05/23 but it has happened multiple times before that.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER,STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-08-23
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV1LL
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER,STRUCTURE

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-03-01
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV1LL
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: CVT Shudders Jolts and grinds on stop and go traffic to the point where it feels like it’s going to destroy itself. The symptom occurs at very random occasions and the cars onboard diagnostics has failed to detect a problem with the vehicle. Vehicle had also turned off once suddenly when pressing accelerator from a complete stop(Has not happened ever since). Vehicle has no check engine codes or pending codes. Nissan Consumer affairs has failed to offer a resolution to this issue to my satisfaction other than pay out of pocket for diagnosing and repairing. Issues presented themselves prior to the warranty expiring and are only getting worse. Of course the dealer said it’s normal and most likely did not notate my concern (started happening very slightly and no check engine lights were on at the time of notifying them and even then it was a very random issue at that time) when I told them during my oil change. But now it’s too noticeable.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-03
- VIN: 3N1CN8BV6LL
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: while in reverse the automatic braking system locked up. There was nothing behind me or in my camera visually. Then I went to pull forward, the panel lights lit up, and, crash lights front can't up and the radar front light. My car has stayed in the shop at Nissan since January 2022 to present except for 4 weeks. Nissan refuses to deem as a lemon, yet everything is pointing to what other owners have experienced with this particular car. When those brakes locked up my car is no longer stable to drive, yet Nissan is saying it's a Shock on the right side. A shock doesnt go out at this early in a brand new car. Nor does all of the components mentioned.We take meticulous care of our vehicle. I have a case opened with Nissan USA Consumer affairs currently. Car is still in shop.

- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking; went to auto service center to fix rest of accident body damage, unsure if they addressed these specific issues until I pick up the car this weekend --- How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - Myself and one other passenger (child) were safely secured while driving, as was the other driver as reported; Safety did feel even more assuring prior to impact, as we were under the impression that FCW and AEB features were going to activate --- Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - It has been reported to both insurance and auto service center, but not reported as of this writing if issues were addressed --- Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - Yes, it is currently at auto service center, in preparation for pickup this weekend --- Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - No. Prior to this accident, I have seen both the FCW and AEB features deploy without any issues when in situation where they would normally.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-03-20
- VIN: 3N1CN8DV0LL
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Everytime I turn my car on, there’s a chance that some lights will turn on my dash for absolutely no reason..the car could be parked and getting warmed up and the traction control light,parking collision warning, and front collision light all turn on simultaneously. I have included a photo to get a Better picture! only way for me to get rid of them is by turning my car off for 5 minutes then turning it back on again. It been a real inconvenience. Not to mention when those lights turn on it means I can’t Parallel park anywhere because my rear parking assist prevents me from backing up, because it “thinks” something is in the way…ugh! Not only that but everytime I play music my Nissan Connect shuts of in the middle of my drive then resets and starts playing music again. If you guys have any answers for me please let me know I bought this car in August of 2021

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-02-14
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 3N1CN8FV0LL
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2020 NISSAN VERSA SR BACK FROM A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AT 3:30 PM ON 14 FEB 2022 TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH THRU RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS EXPLODED AND TOTALLY ENCAPSULATING HER SO SHE COULD NOT BREATH NOR MOVE TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS ALL SHE COULD DO TO APPLY THE BRAKES. A FIRE TRUCK WS RIGHT BEHIND SO SO WERE ABLE TO RENDER ASSISTANCE AND CUT HER OUT OF THE AIR BAGS SO SHE COULD BREATH. THE AIR BAG IMPACT SEVERELY HURT AND CAUSED BRUSES AND HEARING LOSS AND SHOCK. THERE WAS NO IMPACT NOR DOOR CLOSURES NOR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN A MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THIS. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES. THE. CARS TROUBLE CODE SHOWED A ROLL-OVER CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY; HOWEVER, AGAIN THERE WAS NO IMPACT NOR ROLL-OVER NOR ANY DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE AIR BAGS TO ACTIVATE. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE AIR BAGS WERE ACTIVATED BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COMPLETELY RANDOM ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. i SUSPECT THE CAUE MIGHT BE SOMESORT OF SENSITIVITY TO ELECTROMAGNECTIC RADIATION SUCH AS THE NEW 5G CELL PHONES OR HIGH POWERED RADIOS SO.... IN THE PAST... Nissan determined the wrong combination of metals was used in the side airbag sensor connector harness, causing oxidation on the pins of the airbag control unit harness connection. The oxidation on the connector pins can cause a short loss of communication from the satellite sensor to the airbag control unit.The Nissan Versa curtain and seat-mounted side airbag system will enter a backup mode when signal loss occurs and this backup mode allows the curtain and seat-mountain side airbags to deploy as intended in a crash. However, the backup mode that kicks in from signal loss changes the requirements that must be met for the airbags to deploy, so simply slamming the doors can activate the airbags. Typically the force needed to activate the airbags can only come from someone slamming a door from the outside, but real hazards exist if occupant is inside the car when airbags deploy.

BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-02-25
- VIN: 3N1CN8EV7LL
- Components: BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Recently, my Nissan has started having many problems with several of the collision/emergency sensors on the vehicle. It will happen randomly, in any sort of weather, and the sensor warnings will stay on for different amounts of time during each incident. Having the sensors randomly go off while driving is incredibly distracting, not to mention completely unsafe and useless. Along with the sensor issues, the AEB will spontaneously stop my vehicle and not allow me to brake it hot the gas. This is notable mainly when reversing. Just this morning I was completely unable to back out of my driveway because the AEB system kept automatically braking and preventing me from being out (though there was absolutely nothing moving or in the way.)

This caused a 3 car collision that resulted in moderate injuries. Before the incident there were no recalls or other repairs needed on the car. After the incident the car was inspected for potential issues by a team of lawyers the insurance company and the repair shop and no non crash damage related issues were found. Since the vehicle was repaired the problem has occurred on 3 separate occasions during normal daily use.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-10-05
- VIN: 3N1CN8DV2LL
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: This issue has been going on for 6 months. On three different occasions I have taken my car to Fred Hass Nissan due to the sensor lights coming on as if someone is going to hit me from the back and side of my car. It is still not fixed and they tell me it is safe to drive but I feel unsafe. You can be driving down the road whether it be sunshine or raining and no cars are around you and all of a sudden these sensor lights come on and my car slows down as if trying to avoid a collision. I have purchased 4 vehicles over the past several years from this same dealership and this one has given me trouble. I had to beg for them to give me a rental car so they could check my car out Monday and then they called me Tuesday late afternoon to come get my car because they couldn't fix it and it's under engineering review to figure out how to resolve this issue. This is the 2nd time they have given me this excuse. I called Nissan Corporate 800 number and complained and this man from Consumer Affairs who was very rude kept telling me there was nothing they could do and they weren't going to buy back my car and that I would just have to take it back to the Dealership and they would have to figure it out on how to fix the issue and that a letter would be going out to them and that I would need to contact them on if they received the letter or not. I have photos and videos of the sensor light issues and have given them to Fred Haas Nissan to review and again nothing has been done. I am back in this car still having the issue and Nissan doesn't want to keep the car and give me a rental until they can come up with a solution to fix the issue. I am afraid that if it is not corrected there is going to be an accident that could have been prevented.

Avoid purchasing the 2020 Nissan Versa. In just one month, the car required service and replacement of its sensors. Based on my personal experience as a two-time Nissan owner, I cannot recommend purchasing a Nissan again.
Mortimer Schowalter 2024-10-12
I hope you're doing well! I noticed that you've had this car for a couple of months now. I remember when I had it, I was really into going to the Galveston beach at the time. I did notice that when I would hit 80 on the highway, the engine seemed a bit weak and I was worried it might jump out. However, it's great for simple driving around town or for someone who drives very gently, like a young girl or grandma. It's on the smaller side, but it was still able to fit my 6'3 ex-boyfriend at the time.
Jarrod Thiel 2024-06-12
I had an issue with my 2020 Nissan Versa regarding the Forward Emergency Brake system. While driving on the highway, the light for the sensor suddenly appeared on the dashboard for no apparent reason. After taking it to Anderson Nissan in Lake Havasu, AZ, they confirmed that the bracket holding the sensor was misaligned. Despite their claim that it was caused by an impact, I found it hard to accept as there were no signs of impact damage on the front bumper. Furthermore, as this device is essential for safety, it should have been placed in a secure location. Despite my concerns, Anderson Nissan informed me that the warranty would not cover the cost of repair. As safety is a primary concern for me, I decided to pay $1923.96 for the repair. While I feel that I was not treated fairly in this situation, I am confident in my decision to prioritize safety. The pictures were only shown to me after the bumper was removed without my knowledge. It is possible that they fabricated the whole thing since I was not present. Despite my pleas to Anderson Nissan and Nissan Consumer Affairs for a refund, my requests fell on deaf ears. Unfortunately, I am unable to upload the pictures here. This entire situation is absurd.

During the two weeks that I rented a brand new car, I noticed some areas that could be improved. Specifically, I found the seats to be uncomfortable and the controls to be cheaply made. Additionally, the heater was very poor. While the car drove okay, it felt like some corners had been cut during its production. Overall, I would not consider purchasing this car.
