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.

You need to learn how to spell correctly. There was many mistakes!
Christopher, you need to stop being a “KAREN” everyone knew what the comment! Meant.
I purchased my 2016 Nissan Altima in December 2019 with 45k miles it’s now August 2020 and I have 52k miles and my transmission has failed me jerking and stalling. Luckily I was still in the 60 k power train warranty but I definitely was not notified of a recall. maybe because I had just purchased the vehicle. But I’m definitely trading it in for a Different vehicle at the end of the year! The guy at the dealership tried to tell me it was the gas I was using wtf! I have never had this issue with any of my Toyota’s or Honda vehicles and I use the same gas.
How odd if the deadline was January 30th why did I just get a notice a few weeks ago?
I never received a notice
I know nothing of this also I have asked many times about this and was told my 2015 wasn’t affected also I have had many recalls…..now one that can not be fixed until 2021???
They sold me a verbal note and when I took it in for normal maintenance they informed me that it need a very expensive repair and the warranty would be drop so they asked for 4,000 and put me into 2015 Altima and add the other car loan on top so now I’m paying 32,k for this car that is literally falling apart all they keep saying is bring it in and well up grade. What no I’m done with Nissan’s. Only went this rout cause I was told good cars for the money. The sad thing is it took me years to buy a new car and it seems that this is what I’m stuck with…..I hope it makes it another 10yrs…
What about 2010 models. Yes it is older with less than 140000 miles. I bought it with 113000 miles because I needed a car fast due to being a single part. But either way it is not only the newer models that has this issue. It was riding perfect in the beginning which was early last year 2019 when i purchased it. But it has been giving me problems since the end of 2019 it started skipping and stalling out out of the blue. Had multiple people tell me that there system was telling them it was the coil packs etc. But here it is nearing the end of 2020 and it is just being foumd out that it is the transmission. And this is even after being taking to the dealership spending thousands. They said it was everything else but the transmission. Which they claimed was working perfectly. But yet ive had to pay over 5000 to get a brand new transmission put in plus the service. So what able us?
I have a 2012 altima and mine has a faulty transmission as well can’t drive over a certain mph or it get hot and slips
Why wasn’t I informed of this, I’m furious!!!! 2015 Altima and i’ve had 2 transmission put in with 1 year of having the damn car. This makes me so mad, Being left without a car for weeks so repairs could be done. If the extended the warranty, why wasn’t I informed of this as well, starting to think Nissan is a shitting company.
I have a Nissan Altima 2015, I knew nothing about this, and my car has started making weird sounds.

Didn’t find out until last minute. Wasn’t informed when I purchased. Car has been jerking and acting like its about to stall. Don’t know what to do and can’t afford to fix it especially during this pandemic!
I was never informed of this. I have a 2015 nissan altima s model that shakes or shutters when I hit 30mph it’s the Transmission and I was never informed and I don’t have the money to fix it.
