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.

Fuel gage is inaccurate and fuel keeps dropping fast. After a week of this check engine came on after checking fuel pump, it was determined the pump was brand new and had no issues. A recall was done on the fuel line last year had it check at Nissan dealership and service rep stated the line was fine and advised the rep that didn't explain when the fuel gage is inaccurate or the fuel dropping fast if the fuel line and my fuel pump are fine. They never rechecked it...now engine light is on and code is reading P0193 which that indicates a fuel sensory circuit which the dealership should have realized if they actually checked everything regarding the fuel issue last year. This should be addressed and nissan should render the repair of this fuel issue I have been having from the start and I believe last year Nissan just checked the fuel line and called it a day and didn't fully address the fuel issue I'm having with this vehicle overall.

The fuel gauge is inaccurate once below 3/8ths of a tank. This could lead to a stall on the freeway or in a dangerous area leading to an accident. The problem leaves insufficient time to get to the shoulder of the road. Our particular incident had the meter at 3/8ths and the vehicle stalled. The car was shut off and, when turned back on, the gauge was showing empty. In addition to the problem of a stall causing a potential accident, the fuel pump uses gasoline to cool and lubricate it, leading to potential long-term problems with the fuel system as it was run until empty. Nissan has had historical problems with fuel gauges and this is in line with similar complaints throughout the years.

I bought this car with 36,00, thousand miles. After 20,000 miles I had enough. Too many problems, ps light (indicating steering wheel problem) on the panel for no reason and Nissan charged me for that. I changed the right axle, and now I'm going to have to change left axle for the same reason (no explanation from Nissan, only that the part is not working properly and making noises). Problem number three, last week my car started doing a loud noise, and today I discovered that I'm going to have to change all the catalytic system (almost a thousand dollars for that).
