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.

I went to bob moore Nissan in norman Oklahoma for servicing my 2015 Nissan Versa note. They told me that NY airbags had stopped working. I've never been in an accident in this car and the airbags have never been deployed. They tried to charge me $3600 to fix my airbags, but I found out that other Nissan airbags had been recalled.

The airbag light will not go off. Code: B00A0. Attempted to reset the airbag light and it did not help. Checked the connection to the ocsm. Unplugged it and plugged it bag in. Airbag light is still continuously blinking. It blinks when there is a passenger and when there isn't a passenger. This has been an ongoing issue.

I hit a large dog while running 55...my 'safe' airbags never came out. The front end, bumper, bumper cover, grille, lights and water pump all had to be replaced.

My car is signaling a low voltage code for my air bags. I have got a new battery, change the fuses all are good, and also had the air bag clock spring checked. All seem to check out fine. I tried multiple times to reset the airbags lights but it just keeps coming back on after 10 minutes or so.

The airbag system for the passanger side the light kept coming on and going out it would be on most of time when my wife was in the seat and recently it comes on when anyone sets in the front passanger seat! 2. the wheels were not aleined properly we made four seperate appointments and took car in for service and the dealers service dept did not alein wheels which rearend would catch in groves or holes and swerve one way or the other and the whole alienment was wrong but they failed to repair which we think contributed to a severe accident

Versa Note

  • 1,000 miles
Air bag indicator that a person of 5'6"/110 lbs sitting centered in the front passenger seat does not turn on the airbag. Took the vehicle to a dealership service department and was told nothing was wrong. I am filing this with the knowledge that this problem has been reported for other models by this manufacturer in the same model year.
