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.

CVT Transmission slip and judder. Upon full stop, only drives after turning ignition off and on again. Getting stuck at traffic light stop and holding up the traffic for 30 seconds every stop is a safety concern for myself and others. P0868 - FLUID PRESS LOW P0965 - PC SOLENOID B P17F0 - CVT JUDDER (T/M INSPECTION) Vehicle has been inspected and diagnosed by Nissan dealership. There has been no warning lamps to warn of the issue, other than check engine light.
Hi, I am writing to express my concern regarding a recurring issue with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note. Recently, I noticed that the vehicle emits a noticeable noise when the engine reaches 1500 to 2000 RPM. Upon consulting a mechanic, I was informed that this problem is common with the CVT transmission in Nissan Versa Note models. The mechanic advised that the transmission needs to be replaced, as this defect poses a significant hazard. There is a risk that the transmission could fail without warning, compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. Given the severity of this issue, I request that Nissan initiate a recall to address and rectify this problem promptly. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Heat shields for exhaust system particularly protecting the gas tank from high heat tear easily at bolts making a rattling sound as a first symptom. This causes cracks in the heat shield which is flimsy, thin material. It poses a risk to drivers in that the gas tank could explode due to lack of protection or from poor protection from heat of exhaust. The sheer number of Nissan Versa and Versa Plus heat shields failing is alarming.
CVT transmission would not shift gears. CVT is an automatic transmission, that's supposed to shift automatically. The car would be stuck in low gear causing problems while driving. I took car to Nissan dealer and purchased new CVT transmission

Regarding my 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with "continuous variable (cone shaped) transmission": I first noticed the transmission issue beginning October of 2020. When accelerating quickly, it feels like the transmission FREEZES, so I back off the accelerator and it usually kicks back into gear. When my husband first experienced it, he told me to shift to neutral and back to drive which seems to work; however being on a public thoroughfare and manually shifting gears to keep moving forward seems like a MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I have read several posts regarding this same issue. MY QUESTION IS: Why hasn't this American/Japanese automobile conglomerate addressed this SAFETY ISSUE WITH A TRANSMISSION RECALL?

There's been a recall on Nissan Versa note transmissions and I was just recently informed that it included my transmission and Nissan doesn't want to replace it.
Around 65,000 miles I started having an issue with the ctv / automatic transmission. The car sometimes jerks/shakes as I accelerate and takes longer than it used to to speed up. This has put me in immediate danger several times - for example, switching lanes on the highway, I can no longer be certain that I will switch lanes in time for the other cars not to hit me. I took this car to a mechanic who said it may be my transmission fluid - I got the fluid changed in an official Nissan shop in norwell, MA. The issue was not resolved - and when I called the Nissan shop again, they said if the engine light is not on, there is no problem. The issue has not resolved and they do not want to help.
This car has only 34,000 miles on it and the air bag warning light has come and is flashing constantly... given the mileage of the car I was shocked and amazed that I would be having a problem. Other problem I've had is that it has staled out a couple of times for not reason at all when pulling out onto the road.
The cvt transmission is failing loss of power while driving can't drive car over 55 mph transmission oil leaks slipping and jerking the RPM of the engine can fluctuate a lot while driving, especially when accelerating.
Transmission problem tugging and misfiring until car failed to accelerate, instantly coming to a complete stop in the middle of a 75 mile an hour freeway risking my life and those of others on the hwy. Nissan needs to take responsibility!!!! there are several transmission complaints for this car everywhere online!
"takata recall", due to unawareness of future issues since all "VIN" numbers have not been input into the recall system that may go pass the deadline plus brake issues(scrubbing as I drive/regular braking, "I don't ride the brake" ever but I drive daily whether on dry/clear road to wet roads less than 1 month post purchase having only 28,300 miles on it at purchase & still, continues today, after having it checked) for my 2014 Nissan versa that I've purchased less than 6 months ago, today, I'm severely concerned due to info mentioned on www.safercar.gov, which I was instructed via us mail to seek detailed info on the takata recall & other issues plus the safety of my daughters & I! the website specifically stated that all "VIN" numbers recalled have not yet been input & may present issues in the future even if not on current recall list, therefore I need these issues resolved asap!
First time on the freeway while running, second time I was parked, but when I try to back up it shot down third time was running. Nissan won't do anything for me they practically said your on your on, and I'm terrified to drive that car, it's just a tragedy waiting to happen and I'm not going to be the victim
I bought my car brand new in January of 2014. I have been driving it since. The whole muffler system from the catalytic converter on back needs replaced. That includes the resonator and the muffler and the pipes. Why" it lasted only 3 1/2 years with 51,000 miles on it? that is ridiculous. I paid cash for the car and have no extended warranty. What kind of garbage parts are they using. I live in Pennsylvania and I know we get road salt problems but not in 3 1/2 years. How thin is the metal they used" there is not even an aftermarket part to replace these parts. What a rip off.
I was driving in stop and go traffic and as I stopped at a red light in the left turn lane, the engine cut off completely and would not start. I had to ask a group of people to help push my car to the side of the road during rush hour traffic. I waited about 30 minutes and the car was able to start again. I was nervous to drive on the expressway to get home as this could pose as a serious threat to safety.
Spontaneous crack in windshield from bottom edge on passenger side. Car was sitting, not running. I was in the car doing work related paperwork when this occurred. I heard a noise, looked up and saw a crack appear and spread upward.
