Nissan Transmission Defect Class Action Settlement Overview:
- Who: A federal judge certified a $277.7 million class action settlement between Nissan and two subclasses of its vehicle owners.
- Why: Drivers allege Nissan sold vehicles with defective transmissions.
- Where: The class action settlement was approved in Tennessee federal court.
A federal judge has conditionally certified a $277.7 million class action settlement agreement between Nissan and car owners who allege the company sold vehicles with defective transmissions.
The settlement will be split between a Class of 2014-2018 Nissan Rogue owners and a Class of 2015-2018 Nissan Pathfinders and 2015-2018 Infiniti QX60 vehicle owners.
“The Parties have made an adequate showing at this stage that the class action settlement set forth in the Settlement Agreement is substantively and procedurally proper,” wrote US District Judge William L. Campbell.
Nissan Transmission Defect Class Members May Get Vouchers, Reimbursement, More
The $277.7 million Nissan class action settlement will cover a new vehicle warranty extension of 24 months or 24,000 miles — whichever comes first — in addition to repair reimbursements.
Drivers who had their transmissions repaired at certified dealerships within the extended warranty will be eligible for full reimbursement, while vehicle owners who had repairs completed at unaffiliated repair shops will be reimbursed for up to $5,000.
Plaintiffs will also receive $1,000 vouchers that can go towards the purchase or lease of a new vehicle.
The settlement agreement is the result of five class action lawsuits that were consolidated over allegations Nissan sold vehicles with defective continuously variable transmissions (CVTs).
Plaintiffs alleged in their class action lawsuits that defective CVTs in certain Nissan Rogue, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 vehicles were prone to “unexpected malfunction by hesitating, stalling, jerking, lurching, revving, shaking, juddering and failing prematurely.”
The preliminarily approved class action settlement will now be subject to a fairness hearing.

300 thoughts onNissan Transmission Defect Settlement Totaling $277.7M Gets Prelim Approval
i have a 2016 nv200 with 94k the chain/belt in transmission broke.
I have a Nissan Pathfinder 2014 with a CVT transmission that went out I need help I do not have that kind of money to come up with and they are selling defective transmissions. How am I supposed to get one that’s not defective
I own a 2013 nissan maxima with the exact same symptoms and transmission issues due to my CVT transmission. The issue isn’t the make and model of the vehicle, its the CVT transmission itself. How am I supposed to come up with (roughly) $5,000 for parts and labor simply because they are selling defective transmissions?
HI, I see a settlement was made about the faulty transmissions in the Nissan model. I need assistance with getting the reimbursement for the replacement of the transmission in my 2011 Nissan Sentra. Thank you in advance.
My 2011 Nissan Maxima CVT transmission has gone out. What can I do to get it replaced?
I have a Nissan Rogue Select and have just discovered that I need to repair/replace my transmission costing over $6,000. Was told that there was a lawsuit regarding Nissan Rogue and was wondering if my repairs would be covered by this lawsuit and how to get help.
2011 Nissan Sentra only 89000 miles on it need new transmission. Mechanic won’t replace because he can’t warranty any replacement either new or used. Do I have any recourse?
