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.
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 never had a problem before. I drove about 2 miles from church to the gas station. Filled up the tank. I was driving another 2 miles to the restaurant when I noticed the coolant light on. Stopped for about 40 minutes to eat. When heading home, the light was on and then off and then on again. I was passing in front of my Nissan dealership so I went in. Sales reps came to meet me and as I tried to show the light on, the engine started to smoke and smell and ALL my coolant was on the ground under the car (and there was a trail behind me). I left the car there. On Monday, they ran tests all day but couldn't duplicate the problem, so nothing was fixed. They couldn't find anything wrong. Now I have a car that I am afraid to drive.
