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.

My 2014 will jerk sometimes when stepping on the gas like it can’t get in gear or is going to stall. Please send me info on what I can do.
Add me in 2018 or 2019 I had to pay Carson Nissan $4,359 for my 2015 Nissan Altima CVT transmission
2016 Rogue had to pay for transmission replacement add me
I have a 2017 x60 and interested in being added
Greetings, Please look further into Nissan. I brought my son a 2014 Nissan Altima and we had to have the engine replaced. Nissan does not stand behind its fleet of cars, trucks, and suvs.
Our 2016 rogue transmission just went out on 10/17/21 at 90k and we only had the car 2 years. Got it used. We never received any information from nissan nor the dealership about this issue with the transmission.
I replaced my transmission in my 2015 Nissan at 60k miles! Add Me Please
I have a 2015 nissan sentra, same trans acting like its going to give out and high oil useage. Only has 60k miles on it
My transmission is starting to slip at 120000 it was service as suggested
The transmission on my 2015 rogue went out with less than 75000 miles. I had to pay $5000 for replacement. Nissan nor the dealer would help at all. Would love to get in on this lawsuit.
This really sucks! I paid cash for my 2016 Rogue, and the transmission is failing. Nissan warranty has offered to pay 70% of the cost of a new transmission. I would love for them to fix my car, but they won’t return my phone calls. All I want is an estimate, and a trade in price for the $32 thousand dollar paper weight sitting in my drive way.
Any update on your situation? I have a 2015 Rogue $50K miles CVT failure and Nissan offered me 70% as well. Did you get any further with Nissan for them to cover more?
