Top Class Actions report receiving checks from two automotive class action settlements — a Nissan Altima CVT class action settlement and a Nissan transmission class action settlement.
Nissan Altima CVT Class Action Settlement
Top Class Actions viewers have reported relieving Nissan Altima settlement checks worth as much as $1,100.
Those who received settlement checks included all U.S. residents who are a current or former owner or lessee of a model year 2013 through 2016 Nissan Altima with a continuously variable transmission (also called a CVT).
Nissan agreed to settle claims that some Altima vehicles possessed a defect that caused their transmissions to fail. Allegedly, this occurred prematurely, and caused a range of issues included shuddering, power surges, stalling, hesitations, and a range of unusual sounds.
According to consumers, Nissan should have offered consumers a repair for the problem. However, customers claimed that instead, the company passed off the costs to drivers by requiring owners and lessees to pay out-of-pocket to repair the problem. Allegedly, these repairs could costs thousands of dollars. They say that consumers were financially injured — they explain that Nissan advertised that the car was free of defects, but sold them a defective car.
Nissan denied the claims brought forward in the Nissan Altima CVT class action settlement, but agreed to settle the consumer claims in the interest of avoiding the continued costs and risks of litigation. Nissan agreed to pay a $1,000 voucher that can be used towards a new Nissan or Infinity, and agree to extend the warranty on allegedly affected vehicles.
The deadline to file a claim was Jan. 30, 2020.
Class Members are represented by Timothy G. Blood of Blood, Hurst & O’Reardon LLP, Erich P. Schork and Ben Barnow of Barnow and Associates PC.; Danielle L. Manning and Marc L. Godino of Glancy, Prongay & Murray LLP; Mark S. Greenstone of Greenstone Law APC; and by Kevin Sharp of Sanford Heisler Sharp LLP.
The Nissan Altima CVT Class Action Lawsuit is Gann, et al. v. Nissan North America Inc., Case No. 3:18-cv-00966, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.
Nissan Transmission Class Action Settlement
In the Nissan transmission class action settlement, Top Class Actions viewers are receiving checks worth as much as $5,000.
Class Members include those Nissan owners and lessees of 2013 to 2017 Nissan Sentra, 2014 to 2017 Nissan Versa Note, or a 2012 to 2017 Nissan Versa vehicles with a continuously variable transmission.
Drivers claimed that these vehicles possessed defective transmissions that can cause the vehicles to shake or jerk wile driving. Allegedly, this can put drivers and others at risk for a collision, as they attempt to deal with the problem.
Drivers say that they were financially injured by the defect because it tends to manifest after the warranty has worn out. This means that drivers then got stuck with the bill to try to repair the transmission, says the Nissan transmission class action lawsuit.
Nissan denied any wrongdoing, but agreed to settle with consumers in the interest of ending litigation and not incurring possibly more costs. Nissan agreed to provide expense reimbursement to eligible drivers and to offer a warranty extension for allegedly affected vehicles, so that they could receive warranty coverage for the Nissan transmission defect issue.
Our readers have reported receiving checks worth up to $5,000 from this Nissan transmission settlement.
The deadline to file a claim was Jan. 30, 2020, or 30 days after a qualifying transmission repair was performed, whichever is later.
Class Members are represented by Gary E. Mason of Whitfield Bryson & Mason LLPl Lawrence Deutsch and Russell D. Paul of Berger & Montague PC; Raul Perez, Tarek H. Zohdy, and Cody R. Padgett of Capstone Law APC; Taylor C. Bartlett, W. Lewis Garrison Jr., and Christopher B. Hood of Heninger Garrison Davis LLC; Natalie Finkelman and James C. Shah of Shepherd Finkelman Miller & Shah LLP; and by Melissa S. Weiner of Pearson Simon & Warshaw LLP.
The Nissan Transmission Class Action Lawsuit is Weckwerth, et. al. v. Nissan North America Inc., Case No. 3:18-cv-00588, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

421 thoughts onNissan Transmission, Nissan Altima CVT Class Action Settlements Mailed
Received 9,593.97 on August 14, 2020.
What is going on. I never received anything at all. I sent in proof with my receipt and everything.
I mailed my mileage and cost paid out of pocket to replace my CVT transmission, by Sacramento Nissan dealership. Mailed it to you back in February 22, 2022. I have not received y check to reimburse me.
Why I never received anything? I had a transmission put in mine. I freaking paid almost $5,000 out of pocket. I filled out several of these and never received a dime
My 2017 Nissan Altima has the same problem it seems everyone else is having. Took my car in a few months ago because the transmission was acting up. And they told me I need a new transmission and the cost is $6,000. So I did some
research and found that Nissan has know about this for years. This car was specifically purchased so I could make some money part time doing door dash and Uber. But as many of you know the car starts acting up mainly when running short errands after about an hour. NISSAN needs to make this right!
I have a 2015 Nissan Rogue and am experiencing the same problems. Contacted Nissan several times scheduled several service appointments for nothing.
SAME! 2015 Nissan Rogue. Tranny just went. It’s currently in the shop and the bill is $5,000. I only received the CVS tranny letter at the end of September 2022. Call the 800 number for Nissan on the letter and they said I’m too late. How? When I just got this letter? AND they admit there’s a problem with the car?!!! They said I could send a letter asking them to look at my situation but beyond that – there’s nothing they can do. BS.
I have Nissan 2016 and paid out to have transmission replaced. I filed a claim before expiration date and still have not received a reimbursement. I wonder if Nissan is ever going to pay. No place to find out info,.
I have the same problem, although they didn’t even accept my claim. So I’m thinking I’m not going to get reimbursed
I’ve been checking, and the best info about timeline for payment is actually this site. The previous Nissan transmission settlement for Sentra/Altima’s took about 8 months from the final approval date to the time they started getting checks out.
So being in the same boat as you I expect perhaps by November 23rd or so we (the victims) might start receiving checks.
One can only hope.

Well isn’t that special. I received an e-mail from KCC the settlement administrator for the Rogue/Pathfinder/QX60 CVT (Stringer v Nissan) denying my claim for reimbursement as my claim was filed a few days beyond the deadline. Of course I was just following the advice of the Nissan Customer Relations representative received on April 6, 2022. The deadline apparently was March 22, but Nissan didn’t bother telling me that until after the deadline had passed. Since I had a claim with them since May 2021 I thought they would act in good faith but I should have known better.
Sent a nice note to Nissan about this, they’re referring the matter to a regional CSR for further review. Told them if my transmission had failed “today” they’d be covering it under the terms of the settlement agreement.
All I want is my 5 grand back.
