Parties have reached a settlement agreement in a Nissan Infiniti transmission defect class action lawsuit.
Owners and lessees of certain Nissan and Infiniti vehicles equipped with an FK-*k2 continuously variable transmission, or CVT, may qualify for benefits under terms of this settlement.
The settlement resolves claims from three separate Nissan and Infiniti class action lawsuits. Six plaintiffs in these actions allege the FK-*k2 CVT equipped in certain vehicles sold by defendant Nissan North America Inc. is defective in a way that causes the transmission to vibrate or judder during acceleration.
Plaintiffs claim this defect creates an unreasonable risk of a collision, putting drivers and passengers at risk for injury or death. They allege Nissan knew about the problem with these transmissions but failed to adequately resolve it.
The parties agreed to this Nissan Infiniti class action settlement last fall. Affected owners and lessees may qualify for a warranty extension or special pricing on a new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle.
Nissan continues to deny the allegations. The settlement does not require Nissan to admit any fault, and the court has made no determination regarding liability.
Class Members will automatically benefit from this settlement unless they opt out. Those who want to exclude themselves from the terms of the Nissan settlement must do so by May 17, 2017.
Who’s Eligible
The settlement Class includes all persons who within the U.S. or its territories, including Puerto Rico, purchased or leased a Nissan Pathfinder from model years 2013 to 2014 or an Infiniti JX35/QX60 from model years 2013 to 2014 that was equipped with an FK-*k2 continuously variable transmission.
Potential Award
Varies.
Under terms of this settlement, Class Members may qualify for a warranty extension for their vehicle or special pricing on a new vehicle.
In all Class vehicles, Nissan will extend its warranty on the transmission assembly, including the valve body and torque converter, by an additional 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty extension does not apply to the automatic transmission control unit, or ATCU.
Former owners of a Class vehicle who had at least two repairs or replacements of the transmission assembly, valve body or torque converter while they owned the vehicle may qualify for special pricing on the purchase or lease of a new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle under the Vehicle Purchase Program, also known as VPP Pricing.
Proof of Purchase
To receive a warranty extension, Class Members don’t need to do anything.
To exercise the VPP Pricing option, qualifying Class Members must provide their name and a government-issued ID to an authorized Nissan or Infiniti dealership on or before March 15, 2018.

79 thoughts onNissan, Infiniti Transmission Defect Class Action Settlement
I had a 2010 Nissan GTR that the transmission failed on at under 40,000 miles had to pay over 5,000 dollars out of my pocket to have it fixer Nissan didn’t pay a dime or do anything but charged me 1034.00 dollars to try to find the problem. Nissan wanted me to pay 18000 to replace the transmission with a new unit as they don’t repair them. Nissan left parts out of the transmission which caused it to fail and wear prematurely. Nissan Sucks.
2010 nissan altima 2.5 my car qont move when in gear.
I have a Nissan Altima 2012 and the transmission shutters/sound like it’s vibrating with a ting when accelerating and it also has whining sound like it doesn’t want to change gears.
I bought a used nissan altima gxe 2001 about six month ago. i keep hearing the transmission shaking when i step on the gas so i took it to a auto shop and they cant figure out why and how to fix it.
We need to extend back to 1999 to 2014 Nissan Models because there is a lot of Nissan owners with the same problem.
I have a 2007 Nissan it has a slap stick it is having transmission problems everyone I know that owns a slap stick no matter what yr it is is having transmission problems
I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra and just had to have transmission replaced less than 30,000 miles. I also want in on this claim as well.
I bought a 2012 Nissan Maxima in 2011 after the first month I reported issues with transmission shuddering after 40 MPh. I literally took the car in every month for up to a year before they acknowledge transmission was gone. They replaced the transmission and told me as an incentive they replaced the starter. I told them I am sure the new owner would appreciate that because I am never stepping foot in that vehicle again. I had Nissan declare it was a lemon and receive some of my money back not all. The key part for me was reporting it immediately and I had a box full of service records. They should be ashamed I still don’t know how they determine how much of my money they would return the inspector signed off the body and inside was in excellent condition.
I tried telling the sales person this SUV was not pulling right and they kept telling me they didn’t feel anything. I took it back twice and still they did nothing. I need a new one or reimbursement
Nissan Versa 2012 had many issues with transmission. Nissan refused to replace transmission. Never ever will I purchase a Nissan again!!!!
I had a 2003 nissan maxima with the cvt transmissions and i had to scrap it because the trabsmission fix was over 3k .. and i am still paying off that loss on my current loan
I want a part of this pie nissan needs to reimburse me the $5000 i lost
