Teresa Stringer, et al. v. Nissan North America Inc., Case No. 3:21-cv-00099 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division
Date Initiated: 02/05/2021
Plaintiffs in the Nissan transmission class action lawsuit contend their vehicles suffered from defects originating in the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVTs used in Nissan Rogues and other vehicles allegedly cause poor transmission performance, shuddering and shaking, and even complete transmission failure.
The class action lawsuit accused Nissan of knowing about the CVT problem for years due to numerous complaints to the company and to the National Highway Transportation Safety Authority (NHTSA). Instead of taking action, Nissan allegedly failed to warn customers or fix the problem.
The nationwide Class consists of owners and lessees of 2014 to 2018 Nissan Rogues, 2015 to 2018 Nissan Pathfinders, and 2015 to 2018 Infiniti QX60s.

The Court granted this settlement preliminary approval Oct. 13, 2021.
All settlement Class Members are eligible for a new vehicle limited warranty extension under the Nissan transmission class action settlement deal. This benefit extends the warranty on Class vehicles by 24 months or 24,000 miles — whichever comes first.
For Nissan vehicles, the original warranty covered 60 months or 60,000 miles. With the extension, the Nissan new vehicle limited warranty covers 84 months or 84,000 miles.
For Infinity vehicles, the original warranty covered 72 months or 72,000 miles. With the extension, the Infinity new vehicle limited warranty covers 96 months or 96,000 miles.
In addition to extending vehicle warranties, the settlement provides cash reimbursement for owners or lessees who had to pay for transmission repairs out of pocket after their warranty expires.
If the repairs fell within the new warranty time period, Class Members can collect up to $5,000.
However, if the repairs occurred outside of the extended warranty period, consumers are not eligible for payment.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 22, 2022.
In order to receive reimbursements for repairs, Class Members must submit a valid claim form by March 22, 2022, or 30 days after their qualifying transmission repair — whichever date is later.
