Nissan Altima car dealership

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.

The deadline to file a claim in the Nissan Altima CVT class action settlement is Jan. 30, 2020. The deadline for Class Members to object to or opt-out of the settlement is Feb. 7, 2020.

    I have a 2013 Nissan Altima with 122K miles and they transmission just went out. Am I out of luck now? Am I able to receive reimbursement for another transmission?

    1. Daniel Torres says:

      You’re out of luck UNLESS you opt out of the settlement and find a lawyer to sue Nissan. I’m on the same boat. 115k miles and NOTHING applies to me unless I opt out and file a lawsuit with the help of Ken Stern Law

  6. camilla crick says:

    My 2013 Altima was bought in December of 2012, but I have only 65,000 miles on it. Would I be eligible for an extended warranty? I have been part of the maintenance program offered by the Nissan dealer at purchase. It has been very well maintained throughout.

  7. Bruce Warriner Norton says:

    Hello,
    Why only 2013-2016.
    I have a 2017 altima and had to replace cvt. What about me?!!
    My name is bruce norton from Florida.

    1. Jessica says:

      I’m having the same problem now I have to come out of pocket for a whole new transmission I’m also in Florida

  8. Yvette Wyaco says:

    I have the same issues. When i’m at a stop light, and the light turns green my 2016 Altima will not move until you really press on the gas pedal. This happens randomly, i’m afraid one of these days i’ll get rear ended at a stop light.

  9. Yolanda Foreman says:

    When I press on the gas to drive, my 2014 Altima pauses before going. It randomly does it. So I never know when my car could possibly be hit. It’s dangerous because I could get t boned in traffic because of this.

  10. Marian Moulden says:

    I have a 2014 Altima and the CVT is acting up….it hesitates and cuts off at times. I’ve tried to talk to consumer affairs but I’m not getting NO WHERE.
