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
I have a 2005 Nissan Xterra and am currently having issues with my CVT. It has high mileage so if there is any claim possible, I think I’ve already missed my chance but figured I’d ask anyway: 147k miles. Thanks, Sean
I have a 2017 Altima and I have just started experiencing transmission issues. 68,700 miles currently. Car is well maintained and kept. The issue came about all of sudden out of nowhere. I never received anything about a transmission issue in the mail from Nissan like it stated in the above reading. I say we all get together and start this claim.
i am with you my nissan also shakes alot i thought it was my brakes but now have learned it was because of transmission. i did not know about this class action lawsuit an want to reopen another one also have had passenger airbag light on for five years
I also have a Nissan Altima 2017 and my transmission just went out. It was having the same issue…stalling and hesitating. What do we have to do to get another class action lawsuit started?!
I got the same problem with my Nissan Rogue what a peice of SHIT had no idea Nissan was building such crappy cars?!!!! Nissan needs to do a recall on all these cars I would definitely join a class action suite against them
I haven’t received the 1st thing from Nissan except for a run around. Just had my car service today for transmission issues that are getting progressive worse. But, according to the Service Tech and the Service Manager if it doesn’t “code ” even though that recognize the issue. This was my 4th time trying to get this issue resolved. Oh by the way my warranty is up in 5,000 miles. Yet, the Tech tried to comfort me by telling me that I have 84,000 or 1/24/24 whichever comes first. In addition, the offer that was in place when I purchased my vehicle (free windshield wipers and oil change) has been modified. Jim Burke Nissan. I really wish I would have made another purchase.
What year is your car, and does that extended warranty start from the time the car was purchased or the year of the car?
Yes! I believe it started when the car was purchased, we found out later! There was 46,000 miles on the car already! They tried to convince us it was a New Car, we got it from Cornerstone in Plymouth,Mn.
I haven’t received anything about money son
My Nissan Rogue I had it in the shop they inform me that my transmission had some problems the rides like I don’t know I keep it service just don’t change out n my warranty has expired
I have not received anything regarding my nissan
I entered the class action and I have yet to receive anything. I received the recall and my car stall while driving. I took my car into Nissan and the transmission was completely out!! I did not have $4500 + to fix so I ended up trading it in for another Nissan that is now doing the same thing after having it only one year!!! who can I speak to about this?!
My transmission just went out last week it is costing me $3600. To fix for a 2015 sentra, when Google it say that the cvt is covered up to 120k but nissan only extended to 84k…my car has 101k miles customer service is no help contacted the BBB
The same thing happened to me. No warning. Just died. Of course, it’s not covered for my 2015 Nissan. Just had paid $1600 to repair the evac system. Now the transmission went out in July. They want $4000 for that.
How long after you file a claim does it take to receive a check?
Worst vehicle ever got a 2020 pathfinder brand new and transmission went out.. 3 months after purchasing it. And now not even a year yet and brakes is making all these noises now..
I do not know. I am still waiting myself.
I haven’t received any funds or any notice concerning a law suit and my transmission failed and was repaired by Nissan deal but when I when to fix I presented my warranty that was sold to me because the sales man claim that the warranty was expired so I purchase one for 2400 dollars but the dealership that repaired the trans told I still had a deal ship warranty so I was con into buying one.
