Nissan has agreed to extend warranties and reimburse repair expenses for consumers who purchased Sentra, Versa or Versa Note vehicles with a defective transmission.
The settlement will benefit consumers who purchased or leased a 2013 to 2017 Nissan Sentra, 2014 to 2017 Nissan Versa Note, and/or a 2012 to 2017 Nissan Versa vehicle equipped with a continuously variable transmission.
Plaintiffs in the Nissan class action lawsuit filed their claims in June 2018, alleging that their vehicles were equipped with defective transmissions.
The alleged transmission defect reportedly causes affected vehicles to suddenly jerk and shake while being operated. This can reportedly occur at inopportune times, with one plaintiff allegedly experiencing the problem in the middle of a five lane freeway.
According to the plaintiffs, the defect shows up in vehicles outside of the five year, 60,000 mile powertrain warranty sold with Nissan vehicles. This means that consumers are allegedly forced to foot the bill for repairs.
Nissan has not admitted any wrongdoing but recently agreed to settle the claims brought against them in the transmission class action.
Under the settlement, consumers will receive an extension of their Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty from 60 months or 60,000 miles to 84 months or 84,000 miles. Consumers may also be eligible to have their repair expenses reimbursed. More information is available in the “Potential Award” section below.
In order to receive reimbursement from the settlement, Class Members need to file a valid Claim Form by Jan. 30, 2020 or within 30 days of a qualifying transmission repair (whichever is later).
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 7, 2020. The final approval hearing for the Nissan class action settlement is March 6, 2020.
Who’s Eligible
Consumers who purchased or leased a 2013 to 2017 Nissan Sentra, 2014 to 2017 Nissan Versa Note, and/or a 2012 to 2017 Nissan Versa vehicle equipped with a continuously variable transmission.
Potential Award
Warranty extension, up to $4,750 in reimbursement or $1,000 voucher.
- An extension of each Class Members’ Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty from 60 months or 60,000 miles to 84 months or 84,000 miles.
- Consumers can also be reimbursed for 100 percent of the transmission repairs they paid for, if the following apply to the repairs:
-
- Repairs were made by an authorized Nissan dealer;
- Repairs were made within the time and mileage limits of the Warranty Extension (84 months or 84,000 miles);
- Repairs were made before the vehicle’s odometer exceeded 90,000 miles or before Jan. 30, 2020 (whichever occurs first) if consumers can provide proof that a Nissan dealer diagnosed the problem and recommended qualifying repairs while the vehicle was covered by the warranty extension.
- Reimbursement of up to $4,750 is available if eligible repairs were made by a non-Nissan repair facility.
- Former owners who repaired transmissions two or more times may receive a $1,000 voucher toward the purchase or lease of a new Nissan or Infiniti car.

EVERYONE LISTEN UP!!
For those who still havent received your payment, then you need to contact the JUDGE. I have emailed the settlement admin and class counsel many times, and they never respond… We need to force the settlement admin to give us updates.
Only the judge can force them to answer. Please email or call him!! If you get any new updates, please let us know on here. We all need to stick together in order to get our money back.

I was never sent anything. I own a 2014 nissan versa and have had my transmission rebuild and replaced and still doesn’t work right. And every time I ask the dealership if there is a recall on it the answer was no. I bought it in 2015.
How is it that nobody whom purchased a Nissan from the dealership directly before this lawsuit, ever received any notice. Also, why are they saying they’ll reimburse for any CVT repairs performed after the settlement date, but still no one is receiving their reimbursement?
My car was purchased from a Nissan dealership show room for for full price, paid in full just five years ago and never recieved any type of notice or warning about these CVT problems or settlement. How is anyone excepted to get in on a lawsuit, without having any knowledge of it. They didn’t even inform me during my visits to the dealership for any of my maintenance or transmission repairs.
has anyone else recvied their payment yet??
I submitted my claim in September 2022 (within 30 days of the repair) and still havent recvied my check…
I contacted them but they didnt reply..
maybe someone on here will have better luck than me. here is their contact-email

THATS AMERICAN POLITICS WORKING FOR A BETTER AMERICA FOR AMERICANS THAT ARW PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE IN SOCIETY, SCREW VETS AND THE HARD WORKING , NO PROTECTION FROM BIG CORP AND WHEN IT IS ITS JUST HUSH HUSH AND LIMUTED, MY TIME IS SPENT AND MONEY GONE NOT AWARE OF SUCH RELIEF IS CRIMINAL STEALING CASH BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T SALE A CAR RHEY SOLD A HEAP OF JUNK THAT WAS NOT QUALIFIED FOR OR SAFE TO OPERATE REPAIRED = MORE OF MY TIME AND PAY TO GET WHATBSHOULD HAVE BEEN AT FIRST FOR THOSE WHEN NEEDED ,AND FOR TBE ONES RHAT THOUGHT THEY PURCHASED A GEM I THE RUFF MARKET OF USED OR PRIVATE OWNER SALE, NOBIDY SHOULD HAVE TO GO AND COMP BY SALE TO ANOTHER ,NISSAN KNOWS THEY ARE NOT TRUE TO THIS FUX NOT BY FAR AND SHAME ON ANERICAN POLITICS FOR ACCEPTING THIS AS A WIN FOR HARD WORKING SAVING AMERICANS TRYING TO BETTER THIER LIVES IN THE NAME OF LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, THIS Was nit liberating ,unkess your nissan, i hope we all can walj the march to buy orger than the nissan or affiliated with them ,shameful , hurray for standing for whats rught Americans that had to give up massive hours so justice can fart a smelly fix like antacid will, its just sad that many were left behind still needing a lot of help.
I have a 2016 Nissan Versa. My Transmission has failed. The car would jerk when taking off from a stop. Lately, the car would not go into gear. When stopped at a red light, I would have to put car in neutral, turn off, and the turn back on when the light chased to green. If I were driving on a straight away no problem. However, if there were inclines, the car would lose power. I would have to pull off to the emergency lane and repeat the turnon/turnoff process I mentioned earlier. Very infuriating and dangerous. I have just learnt about this class action suit. My vehicle has past the mileage and timeline requirements. How do I obtain remedy for this mess?
I have a 2011 Juke with 138k miles and I have experienced the loss of power in the middle of interstate traffic. Turn off and on to make it go again! I just want an answer for my repairs! Why should the faithful Nissan owners miss out without a resolution from Nissan
I have the 2016 Nissan Versa, past mileage also. I am trying to figure out if I can get this remedied as well!
