Personally I think Nissan should have to increase the warranty to 10Yr/120K warranty like they did on the older model CVT's. They've known for years these transmissions are problematic yet they do nothing about it. Any car should last a minimum of 100K miles without a major component failure so that's the absolute minimum they should be held responsible for repairs/replacement especially on an extended warranty. I owned a car with over 500K miles on it that never had an engine or transmission rebuild/replacement and have had other cars with over 200K and many cars with over 100K miles. My Versa has a CVT. I haven't had any problems with it but 17.8K miles isn't enough miles to make me very comfortable with the transmission yet. Some may ask why I bought a car with the CVT if I was concerned about the longevity of them and the reason is I bought this car on short notice and didn't do my homework before making the purchase.

14 months ago I got a ride ina Versa taxi in DC.
Guy said it had 450000 miles on it ( or something like that) and it was original engine and tranny.
All he said he had done was brakes maintenance, fluids, powersteering pump battery replacement and one other thing that I dont recall. But it wasnt the tranny.

Is this an outlier? Perhaps.. But i see a number of Versas as DC Taxis

My 2012 Versa had 71,000 miles on it when I traded it in for a 2019 Versa. I never had any trouble with it. There were a couple of recalls for transmission software issues that of course I had taken care of. I also followed Nissan's servicing recommendations for it and I didn't drive it like a maniac, just normal daily driving use. I think if you do that, you're less likely to have a problem. I also have friends at work who either have them or have had them and no one has had a problem.
