Critical Deferred Risk
Critical deferred failure risk — 3 safety-critical or high-cost components are past their service interval. Without immediate attention, repair costs will compound significantly.
No odometer data on record. Mileage is estimated at ~108,000 mi based on average annual driving. Items marked EST. OVERDUE may already be due — verify service history with the seller. Items marked OVERDUE are confirmed past-due based on vehicle age alone.
DUE SOONCriticalTiming Chain Tensioner
Service interval: 120,000 mi · Est. ~108,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Timing Chain Tensioner service before 120,000 mi
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
EST. OVERDUECriticalWater Pump
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 9 yr · Past due by age
Service Water Pump immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
EST. OVERDUEHighTransmission Fluid / Service
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 9 yr · Past due by age
Service Transmission Fluid / Service immediately — already past the 60,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
EST. OVERDUEHighCoolant Flush
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 9 yr · Past due by age
Service Coolant Flush immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
EST. OVERDUEModerateSpark Plugs (iridium/platinum)
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 9 yr · Past due by age
Service Spark Plugs (iridium/platinum) immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
DUE SOONModerateFuel Injectors
Service interval: 120,000 mi · Est. ~108,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Fuel Injectors service before 120,000 mi
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.

On 3/21/25 I was informed by Malik's Auto Repair that I need my transmission replaced after a diagnostic of my car making a vacuum noise. After researching, I found that many Nissan vehicles have been experiencing this problem. I contacted Nissan and they informed me that no recall has been made for my make and model. It is a safety issue because at any time the car could stop causing an accident or fatality. Also, I had to have my starter replaced on this car. My car would not start. I was out with my daughter and if it was not for me having AAA we would have been stranded. Nissan stated that this issue was fixed on my car prior to me purchasing it. There is no record of this issue being fixed on Carfax and I paid almost $600 to replace it. Nissan have not assisted me with anything. Now I have to try to come up with the funds for a transmission.

Car was purchased September 2024 for my grandson. This car was garaged until mid-March when my grandson received his driver's license. End of March 2025, car was in the dealership for service and a complimentary multipoint inspection was done. On May 14, 2025, my grandson was driving to school in the rain. All of a sudden, water starts gushing out of the glove compartment. The whole interior was flooded including the backseat. My grandson received his driver license in March, 2025 (a new driver). There were no warning signs before the water started gushing. Dealership said it was a clogged cowl. Nothing was said about maintenance on this cowl when the car was purchased. There is nothing in the manual about this cowl. Looking on the internet, this is a known defect of the Nissan Versa and nothing is being done about it. Thank God he did not get into an accident. After only putting 4000 miles on the car since purchased, the insurance company has totaled the car.

These vehicles have a cowl drain located on the passenger side under the wiper blades. The drain is really small so it clogs easily. When there are heavy rains, my car floods. It has happened on several occasions, including Monday 7/8/2024. It happened while driving in June 2023. I am not sure why Nissan hasn’t done anything to mitigate this problem. I am not even sure of this is the appropriate place to contract but I figured I would try. Thanks.

When it rains, water flows through the filter cabin water to collect below the windshield and, when the collected water doesn't drain, it flows into the car on the front passenger side floor. The water trough runs under the windshield wipers runs from one side of the car to the other. the trough collects water and has the drains on each side get plugged, water collects in the trough and will slosh back and forth especially when you are driving and making turns. There is an entry hole (filter cabin, i believe) that then lets the built up water flow right into the passenger side floor. My carpet becomes wet from the front passenger side to the back passenger side. I have called my dealership and they have no clue. the Nissan dealership wanted me to leave my car for two days for a diagnosis and they do not give loaners during this time of diagnosis and repair.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 NISSAN VERSA IN SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, I BEGAN HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. THE CAR WOULD SCREECH WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKE ALMOST A GRINDING SOUND WHEN MAKING A HARD BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM (ABC NISSAN) AND THEY TWICE REFUSED TO FIX IT. THAN I DROVE ACROSS TOWN TO ANOTHER DEALER (MIDWAY NISSAN) WHO ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SAID IT SIMPLY NEEDED MORE GREASE. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER BEING FIXED, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN TO STOPPED TRAFFIC WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP. I ATTEMPTED TO STEER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SIDE LANE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYED AND ALTHOUGH NO SERIOUS INJURIES OCCURRED, I FOUND THAT SOME PAPERS I HAD IN THE CAR HAD SOMEHOW BEEN TORN. ALTHOUGH I WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, MY SEAT BELT WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. I AM GLAD I AM ALIVE AND I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT INJURED (OTHER THAN VERY MINOR KNEE INJURY) BUT I FEEL THAT BOTH THE BRAKES AND THE AIR BAGS PRESENT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS. PREVIOUS YEARS OF NISSANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE BRAKE ISSUES. MY CAR ONLY HAD 24 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND FAILED AT 3,000 MILES.

TIPPED SEAT FORWARD AND FOUND THE SEAT BELT WAS STUCK IN THE LACH AND DAMAGED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND HE SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE SEAT BELT. BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP IT FROM HAPPENING. THE SEAT BELT HANGS LOOSE AND NEEDS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF HOLDER TO KEEP IT FIRM AGAINST THE SIDE PANEL TO AVOID THE SEAT BELT FALLING INTO THE LATCH AREA AND GETTING STUCK IN THE LATCH AND CAUSING THE SEAT NOT TO LATCH AND DAMAGING THE SEAT BELT. THE DEALER SAID HE LOOKED AT AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE ON THE LOT AND FOUND THAT VEHICLE HAD SAME EXACT ISSUE AND DAMAGED THAT SEAT BELT TOO. HE SAID AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE SMALL NOTCHES IN THE SIDE PANEL THAT APPEAR MIGHT BE FOR A BRACKET OR SOME TYPE OF STRAP. BUT THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING AVAILABLE AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT THOSE NOTCHES ARE FOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THE SEAT WILL NOT LATCH IF BELT IS JAMMED IN IT AND IT IS DAMAGING THE SEAT BELTS.

Chart Analysis

The blue line shows 62 total NHTSA complaints filed over 10 years, with the worst year being 2018 (10 complaints, including 2 crash reports).

The amber reliability line shows an improving trend — scores have risen from the earlier years toward 76/100 more recently, suggesting the most serious issues are older and may have been addressed through repairs or recalls.

Notably, despite 62 complaints on file, no recall has been issued — either the defect pattern has not met NHTSA's threshold for a formal campaign, or a recall may be forthcoming.

Red dots on the amber line flag 6 years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2026) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.

ACTIVEEXTENDED WARRANTYPonzio v. Nissan Settlement
Nissan CVT Extended Warranty (Jatco JF016 / JF017)
Transmission – CVT (Jatco JF016E / JF017E)
COVERAGE:Extended to 5 years / 60,000 miles; some class action settlements provide additional coverage

Nissan's Jatco continuously variable transmissions (CVT) suffer from overheating, shuddering, sudden deceleration, and premature failure. Nissan extended the CVT warranty following class action lawsuits. In some cases the warranty was extended further to 84,000 miles for documented repeat-failure vehicles. A class action settlement (Ponzio v. Nissan) provided additional reimbursement rights.

HOW TO CLAIM: Contact Nissan Consumer Affairs (1-800-647-7261) and provide your VIN to check for any CVT extended warranty applicable to your specific model year and variant. Ask the dealer to check for any open special coverage authorizations in their warranty system.

Coverage eligibility depends on your VIN, original sale date, and current mileage. Always verify with an authorized dealer or manufacturer customer service — programs may have been updated since this database was compiled.
