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.

I did not know about tjis. I paid $3000
00 for a transmisdion job.
Can i file a claim
No I did receive a letter
Why the 2012 Nissan Altima isn’t included in this settlement? I started having transmission problems as soon as I paid off my car loan.
Is it too late to file even if I didn’t know anything about this
I have a 2013 nissan Altima I never recieved a letter or email.not even a phone call letting me.know anything about this and I had to pay for wrecker $250.00 plus I had to pay out of pocket $3900.00 to have it fixed I am upset bout this I bought my car brand new in 2013 why wasn’t I notified my address hasnt changed and it says everyone that had a 2013 Nissan ALTIMA AND I DO
Are there any recall on the air conditioning i had to pay out of pocket mind had metal fragments in it.
I had to buy a brand new air compressor because my air went out and also a brand new transmission. This isn’t fair at all. I spent my entire savings getting this car fixed.
Why the 2912 Nissan Aktima were not part of the class action law suit. I just paid the note off a year ago. It started whining and make a loud noise in the CVT Transmission like someone is flapping two plastic sheets together. It started when I reached 1150000 miles. Had the transmission fluid changed out and some plastic object and plastic pieces drained out with the fluid. Drove it for two days and the whining and noise started again.. why did it wait until I paid it off and went 15000 miles over the warranty to act up.
I had a 2009 Nissan Altima that had transmission issues. The car caught on fire on the highway. It wouldn’t go past 20 MPH and we were headed to trade it in for another car. I now have a 2012 Nissan Altima from a certified dealer and it too now lags. I was told to replace the Mass Airflow Sensor. That helped for a little while without the check engine light coming on for about a month. Now it’s stalling As if it does not want to take off. Pedal touching the floor of the car and it will not take off right away. I’m praying that the check engine light does not come on. I cannot afford another car at this time. I’ve only had it for 3 months! I feel that all Nissan Altimas should be recalled and entered in a class action law suit. This is ridiculous!
So.are they recalling 2009 Nissan Altima
What about 07 and up nissan altima sl
That sucks…2011 Altima’s are doing the same thing. Just had mine replaced at Aamco for $3000+, and not even 10000 miles later I’m hearing the same whinny noise
Hurry and trade the thing in for a Toyota with a real transmission.
I bought a nissan altima from a so called family friend and 2 days later the transmission gave me hell. It jerked and then wouldnt go over 30 mph and made loud noise. Replaced an O2 sensor and still had probs. Took it to transmission place where it ended up needing so much work i couldnt pay them and had to leave it there. I didnt know there was a lawsuit or i damn sure would’ve joined. Is it too late?
