Transmission Failure
2015 Nissan Versa Note
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 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.

Being good at mechanics, many small things were just a minor inconvenience. The 2015 Nissan Versa Note 4 cylinder engine ran ran strong and smooth. My main beef up to the time the transmission died was two spark plugs that were totally inaccessible and have never been replaced. I loved getting 34 - 38 MPG on the highway. (I live in the country and most of the 130,860 miles were on the highway).
I went to a Dr. appointment and was returning home. I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green I stepped on the gas to turn the corner. The car made an awful grinding noise that shook the car, then, it was like the car was in neutral. The engine was running fine but the car wouldn't move. I had to have the car towed home.
I've looked at other complaints and they say it will cost $6,000 to replace the transmission. It's not worth it to me to fix it. I lifted the front end and the CV trans-axles seem fine.
I would rather invest $6,000 towards a newer car.
