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.

Anyone know when reimbursement checks will be issued in the Stringer v Nissan (Rogue/Pathfinder) CVT settlement?
I’m trying to find out the same thing, I sent a claim in on my phone2015 rogue in In February and haven’t heard or seen a reimbursement check yet
Same here…..I thought it was approved back in March 2022.
I purchased a 2014 Nissan Sentra . Drove the car 68750 miles and the transmission started losing power, RPM up and down. died in the middle of a busy intersection at 68878 miles. For example, I would put my foot on the gas and the car would not move
I bought my Nissan Versa Note used but it was still under warranty. When I take off from a stand-still, m car shakes and tries to cut off. I have sent this info to the TCA lawyers, maybe if we all send in our info they can set up another settlement !!
2017 outlander owner. no check but contant transmission sensor going off
I signed up for this. And still have not received a check. I have a 2013 nissan versa with current transmission issues that I can not afford to fix.
I had two 2015 sentras, purchased at same time. One had a cvt problem, the next a Trans prob. I ended up Paying a little over 2,000 on one with car rental and towing and didn’t rpr other one. Left it than sold off,bcs they were family Xtra Cars is there anything I can do to recoup. Never saw notice of class action. NOTHING was ever sent to me until recently, I just saw a notice within the past 2wks that I misplaced so I’m looking it up here. All issues with both cars documented at Carson Nissan with my NEW address. I do not understand how I was not notified. Is there anything I can do??
CVT Transmission nissan
I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue and would join a class action suit against Nissan. They are refusing to replace the CVT Transmission due to the mileage being high. But the issue is documented as starting while the car was under warranty. It is very frustrating that they will not fix the issue or recall for people who are affected can get it fixed. The car jerks/lurches, won’t accelerate when getting on the interstate, if idling too long when you try to go it won’t accelerate, ect. Very disappointed in Nissan and will never buy another or suggest one to others.
Same just happened to me recently and I just bought this car in August. I’m soo mad about this. I called also and they refused to help me as well. Terrible way to handle things as a company. I too will refuse to buy another Nissan. I’ll get this fixed so I can sell it and then I’m done.
I also have a Nissan altima 2016 have the shaking problem,and some time just don’t start, I trying like 2 o 3 yrs to trade the car but I couldn’t, so still stuck with this car. I didn’t get not check from the class action what to do to get also in the class Action for this car .
Have a 2015 nissan altima. Filed a claim and haven’t recd anything from anyone
