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.

While driving my car will shut off. It has happened a total of 5 times and taken into the dealership 4 times. Out of all the times it has shut off my 6-month-old has been in the car twice. One of the times it shut off I was on the freeway while the others were on the street.

I used my car to pick up my spouse. It was a hot summer afternoon. All of a sudden my engine stalled. It will not run. The engine had turned off all of a sudden without a warning.good that I was still in the parking lot with my young son.if I w as in a street I don't really know what will happen next. It was scary!then I turned on again the engine, I was able to drive from york road to my home but I used the backroad to avoid any accident that might happen.
