Nissan Altima owners have secured reimbursements, an extended warranty, or a $1,000 voucher under a recent class action settlement.
Class Members include U.S. residents who leased or purchased a model year 2013 through 2016 Nissan Altima equipped with a continuously variable transmission. Class Members include both current and former owners and lessees.
According to the Nissan Altima CVT class action lawsuit, certain models of Nissan Altimas suffered from a defect that caused their transmissions to fail prematurely. The plaintiffs say the result was shuddering, unexpected power surges, hesitation, stalling, and noises.
The affected Nissan Altimas were equipped with continuous variable automatic transmissions, also known as CVT. The complaint alleged that, instead of offering a fix for the defective transmission, Nissan required Altima owners and lessees to pay thousands to repair the problem.
As a result, alleged the Nissan Altima CVT class action lawsuit, those who purchased or leased the defective vehicles did not get what they paid for.
The automaker refused to admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to settle the Nissan Altima CVT class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and risk of further litigation.
Under the terms of the settlement, Nissan agreed to extend the warranty on Altimas with the affected CVTs, by 24 months or 24,000 miles; however, Class Members with vehicles that are either more than 84 months old or that have more than 84,000 miles are not eligible for the extended warranty.
In addition, Class Members can claim reimbursement for transmission repairs they had to make out-of-pocket or a $1,000 voucher towards the purchase of a new Nissan or Infinity.
Claim Forms are not required for Class Members seeking the warranty extension. Class Members claiming reimbursement for repairs must complete a Claim Form. Class Members seeking a voucher must go to a Nissan or Infinity dealer and present their name and identification within nine months of the effective date of the Nissan Altima CVT class action settlement.

Who’s Eligible

Has anyone in Florida received a reimbursement check yet?
Has Anyone here from Alabama received a check?? I’m still waiting!
I’m in Tennessee and still haven’t received mine.
How about North Carolina? Anyone receive check?
Yes
I live in Arkansas. Is there any chance that mine might come before the weekend the 22nd. I haven’t heard from anyone concerning this matter.
I’m in Arkansas too. I got a letter stating my warranty was extended and I can’t get my local dealership to honor the warranty. In fact when I told them it was an internal sensor and the torque converter (we had just run the codes ourselves AND at autozone, and we got another opinion before taking it to the dealership because we were warned they would try this), and we had told them those were covered under the warranty and we only wanted to get work done that was covered, they lied to us multiple times about the issue (we caught them in several lies) then refused to honor the warranty. I told them I would be contacting a lawyer over it and made sure they understood they had to honor a warranty AND trying to charge people for services they don’t need is fraud.
Still waiting for my check. Mileages during repair: 107520
Any problem?
Yes you won’t get one because it had to be 84,000 or under
Received my check today for the full amount of my claim. Located in Louisiana.
Just got my check from this in the mail in Denton, TX (DFW). Looks like the full amount of $4,315. Will never do business with Nissan again after two Altimas and a Versa. Dealership strongly insinuated that it was my fault and I took the blame at home for thinking I blew out the Transmission. We paid the fix, no problem but until now I had a very bad taste in my mouth feeling like I got ripped off.
I got my check today in CA, but they did not refund the tax I paid. It makes sense for them. However, I lost more than two hundred dollars. Where can I get that back?
I added my tax in my claim
I added tax too, but they did not refund tax part, which sucks.
They should have a recall on 2012 altimas also. They should have been included in this. My only has 80,ooo miles and its trying to die dead while in the middle of driving, and many other problems. I have 2 small kids that ride with me & this is not safe at all.
Received my check today in full!!!
(California)
Just got my check today in Georgia. Got the full cost of the repair less the tow bill.
Just got my check today in Oregon that I submitted within a couple days of the deadline. Got the full amount returned. Never received anything about warranty or any kind of communication before today.
I am in Oregin as well and recieved a reimbursement today…Im always leary with so many scams out there in cashing it . Was your the Bank of America check as well??
