CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014-2017 Nissan Versa Note has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.

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.

Here we go... another problem. In cold areas/regions like here in Canada you'll have to be sooooo patient with this car as even though owner's manual says it is not necessary to warm up the engine when it's getting cold, engine simply revs and surges and WON'T shift to 2nd gear after 5 minutes of driving. Pretty annoying as you'll have to drive slowly and it'd be dangerous if for some reason you had to accelerate since you wont be able to do so. You've been warned.
