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.

I had problems with the vehicle the first week I drove it off the lot and complained to the Nissan company, to DMV. No one wanted to listen to me I was stuck with a $25,000 or $27,000 loan until I was forced to pay it off completely and sale it due to the constant problems it had with the transmission & no power to drive for almost 4 yrs.
I bought a 2013 Altima on 10/8/2016 and had to put a transmission on 11/2017. I paid 3593.79 at Nissan on Covington Pike. I am still paying a car note as of today and I even contacted Nissan corporate and they told me to take my car to a nissan dealer and I did, they kept my car a week and said they didn’t find anything, a month later is when I took to Nissan on Covington Pike in Memphis Tn and repairs cost me 3593.79. I have all documentation but was never informed or received a notice of the class action lawsuit I heard by word of mouth.
Yes my 2013 Infiniti jx35 transmission went out at 101000 miles. Nissan quoted $8100. Thank god I had a extended warranty. Its in shop now being repaired. I think Nissan should recall all their vehicles they put that junk in or replace with a different transmission
The transmission on my 2012 Nissan Rogue just went out. I only have 64,000 miles on it. Can I be reimbursed for the new transmission I had to have put in?
Ha! Let’s hope another lawsuit goes out soon. My transmission stopped on interstate thank god it was heavy traffic, if not I would be dead. Nissan is not doing nothing to fix their junk. Never again. Infiniti 2013 jx35
My 2013 Nissan Rogue’s transmission has went out. Is it too late to be reimbursed for the repairs.
2015 Nissan Pathfinder cvt transmission hesitated on interstate semi almost rear ended 03-2-23 will this be covered under class action lawsuit to be repaired?
I bought 2018 Nissan Altima 4D Sedan 2.5 on 10/18/2021. It had 31,494 miles on it when I bought it,it now has 40,486 miles. My question is what kind of coverage am I going to get when the tranny goes? A freind of mine ownes a transmission shop and says they all go and they can’t get parts and at a minimum it cost $5000.00! Do I qualify for any compensation from the class action suit?
Sign me up my Nissan note transmission went out and it’s barely got 90 thousand miles on it
My 2017 Nissan Rouge is starting to experience performance problems. at 47, 649 miles,, purchased used at 12 000 miles in 2020.. There is a loud humming noise and a slight delay when inclining or crossing lanes. The SUV feels very unsafe and it’s my only commuter vehicle back and fourth to work right now. No recalls noted, and no service check lights on yet. I called the Dealer and they can’t get me in until 22 December 2022. Nissan should not be selling vehicles withCVT problems. consumer safety should be the top priority.
I have a 2012 Nissan Altima that I had to replace the transmission at 75,000 because it shut off when I was on the freeway in Arizona no injuries happen but scared me to death. I spend over 4,200 on a new transmission but now the dealership I purchased the vehicle went bankrupt and the new owner said they can’t help me cause I’m having some knocking noise when I put my foot on the gas ? Some please help me this transmission should be under warranty still if not should be replaced again for the 2nd time dealership I got my Nissan was call Altas automotive in Apache Junction Arizona
