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.
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.

I was driving in stop abs ho traffic and the car cut off out if no where. The car jerks when you drive it and stalls. It seems like it requires a lot of work to accelerate and the rpm fluctuates between 2&3 when keeping a steady pace. The care bucks while you are driving. I just bought this car so these issues are alarming to me. It also looks as if the airbag on the top left might be exposed.

Car floors--right, left, front and rear were mysteriously flooded with a substantial amount of water. Vehicle had been parked in flat driveway, all windows shut, and upon driving a couple blocks from home and pulling to a stop sign on a downward sloping street, water rushed forward on the floor of the car. Car was last driven 2 weeks prior to get inspected and subsequently there had been a few days with heavy rains. Where the water came in I don't know. Used shop-vac to suck out tons of water but moisture still remains on floors when pressed with paper towels. Also, different lights were lit on dash when I put the air on while parked to help dry out carpet--the ABS and the car skidding lights. Makes me suspect electrical system was affected by water also. Will call mechanic and insurance company first thing tomorrow (Monday).
Very thin clear coat and paint leading to rust. There are multiple spots on our vehicle where, while having the vehicle serviced at the dealership or in daily driving, that the clear/color and primer coats have been compromised with minor events. The hinges that hold the doors are painted with the same primer and color coat and a less buffed or possibly not covered in a clear coat. Practical thinking is that it is likely, not just plausible, that the paint has been or will be compromised in these places leading to failure causing distraction, injury or death.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa note. As soon as the vehicle was purchased, a strong odor was present. The dealer diagnosed that the strong odor was mold. The contact became sick and vomited due to the odor. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
