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
If we miss that settlement will there be another one ?
Please let me know I’m have the problem as of today February 15,2021
I have a 2015 Nissan Rogue with 80,108 miles on it. Earlier today I was told by the Nissan dealership that my transmission was bad and it was not safe to drive home.
I had a 2014 Sentra and have been awaiting a voucher since I no longer have the vehicle. My transmission was replaced once under warranty and they only gave 12k miles on that new transmission which of course went out again. It’s very ridiculous that I have not received my voucher and that we cannot reach any of the attorneys/claims administrators who filed the lawsuit. Just flat out frustrating.
I purchased a 2017 Nissan Altima 2.5L SV back in 2018, I am now having problems as well with the CVT transmission. Wont accelerate or shift. Car stalls at stops, loses acceleration at highway speeds and even shut down at 60 miles per hour on the highway ( which could’ve caused a accident if not death). I feel that all CVT transmissions should’ve been recalled and not just some of them. Clearly from what I am reading there is many other owners who are experiencing the same problems. What is it going to take to get ours recalled as well? Someone to actually die first?
That’s exactly what happened to me friday evening out of the blue going home from work the car just would not accelerate I was at a red light and it was scary as I was pushing the gas it was just making a loud noise at the time I didn’t know what was wrong and the cars behind me was beeping me but the car was just skipping and would not accelerate when it finally did the car was just speeding by it self without me pushing the gas it was just scary, this past Saturday 3/13/21 as I was going to work I stopped by an auto zone when they check sure enough it was the CVT on Monday I took the car to a shop they couldn’t do anything had to take it to Nissan dealership on Tuesday morning Nissan call me back and told me since I do not have no warranty on it, it will cost me about $4,000 plus dollars to fix it, I told them no this is a defect the car is only 5 years old I shouldn’t be paying for transmission, I call Nissan headquarters to file a complaint the representative told me someone will be contacting me but I have not heard back from anyone yet, I have to get a rental to go to work this is just crazy I will never by a Nissan again.
Omg!!! I don’t even have to right my story but you explained my situation to T!!!
I bought my 2015 Nissan Altima(used) going on 3 years ago and I called Nissan Corporate and they told me since I wasn’t the original owner of the car, the extended warranty info went to the person who bought the car first off the lot!!!! THATS SOME BS!!! They also told me, I should’ve called Nissan and registered my car with them to let them know I was the new owner?… I’ve had plenty of used cars in my 47yrs of life and I’ve never had to do that AND I’ve received all of my recalls if there was one.. I’m so pissed and I’m dealing with a kid with nine cancer… I don’thave time for this
Hi I filled my claim and I haven’t received no response about my reimbursement can someone help me with information to contact the settlement department
I’m having the same exact problem you are
I was unaware of this lawsuit ! I’m now experiencing transmission problems and I don’t have the money to repair ! Is their a compensation / reimbursement program for Nissan owners who pay to have transmission fixed out of their own pocket?

Have a 2013 altima. Transmission went in early 2019. At 1st I was told they were putting new one in. When I was told they were just rebuilding I complained and got told it is what it is. Just today that transmission went and they are telling me they aren’t doing anything. SO MAD. How can the put their name and such an awful product.
I was never informed about the default of the CVT transmission I have a 2007 Nissan Altima now my car is giving me problems and when i called the dealership they told me I missed the deadline for repairs?? But no one ever notified me and I never got a check so now am I stuck paying to have the car repaired can someone help?
Never was told about this and my transmission failed at less than 90k miles on 2013 Nissan Altima.
Was their a suit filed for bad transmissions on a Nissan versa 2013,already had one replaced and now that one is bad.
