CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014-2017 Nissan Versa Note has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data from earlier model years for the same generation.

In late 2019, the CVT defect was subject to a class action settlement. However the settlement only covers transmission repairs up to 7 years after purchase or 84,000 miles (whichever occurs first).

Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Versa Note owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

Sudden loss of power steering control on 2016 Nissan Versa note while vehicle in motion on city street (queens, NY) thankfully, we were able to avoid collision with a steering wheel that was extremely difficult to turn. No previous issues. P/S light appeared on dashboard system indicating issue with power steering. The vehicle has less than 33K miles. Dealer states that steering motor requires replacement. However, they also state that Nissan corporate also requires replacement of the entire steering system as the motor is not sold separately. Repair estimated at $4200 plus tax.
