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.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder, had transmission replaced. Nissan did pay to replace but only with an90 day warranty. Then transmission started messing up again. Will need another transmission. I bought this vehicle new in 8/2014.. ever since new transmission was put in, alternator has kept going out. Now on my 5th alternator at almost $1,000 each time to change it.
I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue Never had any problems with it, August 13th 2022 it randomly started acting crazy it jerks it acts like it can’t go rpm’s shoot up barely goes in drive. This is my only transportation and I am completely upset and not sure what to do
Hi I have a 2016 Nissan Sentra and it’s having the EXACT same problems as all these other models. Imagine paying a car note on a car u can’t drive because u was sold a faulty car and then u have to pay all this money just to get it fix. It’s upsurd.
Im very curious as to why no recalls are out for Nissan Altima owners only specific models , the CVT transmissions are the same were having extreme issues. There are thousands of people dealing with same issues. CVT transmissions are junk we need help to . Mine 2017 nissN Altima
I agree this should of been out when they new what was wrong I would of never got my 2012 Nissan Altima if I known I would have had to pay over 4200 at 75,000 miles for a new transmission just for the business I got it from goes out of business I started having knocking issues at 115,000
I had a 2014 Nissan Versa. At 60,000 miles transmission went out, was under warranty and supposedly a new one was put in. Then at 120,000 miles transmission problems again, I spent money on parts and with different mechanics but did not put in a completely new transmission as why? That CVT transmission is worthless. Is my car covered under this law suit?
Have a 2014 nissan pathfinder. It was in an accident. Got it fixed but it wasn’t running right. Brought it to nissan where I financed it from and they told me it was a sludge build up in my engine. I have had oil changes done and proper care. They now want 6000$ to put in a new engine and I am still jn the loan for 9800$ what do I do. Even attorney General said I couldn’t have built up that sludge in the amount of time I had the car. There were no lights on my dashboard before accident, car was running fine. They also said there was a mechanical malfunction. So how is that on me?? It Was just going on 2 years. Got it at 65k and now has 100k. What do I do now. They will only give me 1000$ trade in value
I recently had the check engine light come on my 2019 Nissan Pathfinder which has 39K on it. I took it my local guy and he found out I had an extended warranty. He towed it to the closest Nissan dealership and they have had my car for 2 weeks. They are saying that there is sludge in the engine and it needs to be replaced. They asked for oil change receipts going back to 2019. I provided them the proof and I am still waiting on a decision on my car to see if it is covered under warranty. I have not been able to get to work and my employer is starting to threaten my employment despite being able to work from home (it is frowned upon)/
My 2013 Nissan Sentra is at 66000 miles and has started jerking and revving really hard during acceleration. I am just finding out now about the class action lawsuit. Am I a candidate?
