Transmission Failure
2014 Nissan Versa Note (Page 1 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014-2017 Nissan Versa Note has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.
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.

So at 60,000 miles I told the Nissan dealership in Grand Rapids Michigan that it was slipping. They told me to come back if the transmission went out. Just a few thousand miles short of the service date on the transmission, my car was being serviced, I told them I would like the transmission serviced. They refused, saying it still had "thousands" of miles left (we are talking less than 3000 miles from the service interval). They flat out refused. I left and didn't go back. (I took my car elsewhere.)
The tranny still slips and thunks. At 140,000 miles I lost 3rd gear entirely. I take it to a Nissan in greater Detroit. They say it could be a Thousand dollar part, or that and another $3000 part, or I could just replace the entire transmission for $6000. After replacing transmission lines and servicing the transmission to the tune of $1000, I now have third gear I just can not shift to fourth under any load at all. I can do that OR just keep driving it until it needs a new transmission and replace the transmission they said. So I drive it then.
6 months later at 172ish, I am leaving the grocery store when the whole car acts like something big was dropped on it. I press the gas and it rolls forward like it's in neutral. Then the gas catches and it slingshots forward, and now there is traffic so I slow down, and it does this over and over until I can cruise home in 3rd. So long as it didn't downshift below third, I was okay, so I made it home and rented a car.
Now I guess I'll buy a new car. Never a Nissan again though, Probably a Chevy. Nissan service and customer support is the worst. I later found out the CVT warranty was extended to 120,000 miles - if FOX Nissan in GR had done their job properly I would still have a car! FOX Nissan, you are the worst of the worst.
