Nissan radiator cooling fan class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiffs Lauren Anderson, Walid Antonios, Fred Balsam and Calvin Wiley filed a class action lawsuit against Nissan North America Inc. and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.
- Why: Anderson, Antonios, Balsam and Wiley claim Nissan knowingly sold certain model year 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder and 2014-2017 Infiniti QX60 vehicles containing one or more defects that could cause their radiator cooling fans to malfunction and fail.
- Where: The Nissan class action lawsuit was filed in Tennessee federal court.
Nissan knowingly manufactured and sold certain model year 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder and 2014-2017 Infiniti QX60 vehicles containing defects that could cause their radiator cooling fan to malfunction and fail, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiffs Lauren Anderson, Walid Antonios, Fred Balsam and Calvin Wiley’s class action lawsuit claims Nissan has known about the alleged defects since 2013 — if not earlier — but concealed the defect to “encourage Plaintiffs and Class Members to purchase the Class Vehicles.”
“Defendants have actively concealed the true nature and extent of the Cooling Fan Defect from Plaintiffs and the other Class Members, and failed to disclose it to them, at the time of purchase or lease,” the Nissan class action states.
The plaintiffs want to represent a nationwide class and Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and Massachusetts subclasses of all persons or entities who purchased a class vehicle in the U.S. or one of the respective states.
Nissan radiator cooling fan defect causes safety hazards, costly repairs, class action claims
The plaintiffs claim the alleged Nissan radiator cooling fan defect causes both safety hazards and inconvenience and can lead to a need for repairs costing in excess of $1,000.
“The Cooling Fan Defect causes a loud rattling sound in the front of the engine and can result in overheating and ultimately engine failure — leaving the vehicle occupants stranded and creating unreasonable safety risks,” the Nissan class action says.
The class action lawsuit claims Nissan is guilty of unjust enrichment, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, negligence and fraudulent omission, and of violating the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and multiple state laws.
The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory, exemplary and statutory damages for themselves and all class members.
Nissan issued a recall for more than 20,000 of its model year 2022-2024 Infiniti QX60 vehicles in December 2023 over concerns their Adaptive Front-Light System could improperly adjust the headlights downward while the vehicle is being driven at certain speeds.

The plaintiffs are represented by J. Gerard Stranch, IV and Michael C. Iadevaia of Stranch, Jennings & Garvey PLLC and Mark Greenstone and Benjamin Donahue of Greenstone Law APC.
The Nissan radiator cooling fan class action lawsuit is Anderson, et al. v. Nissan North America Inc., et al., Case No. 3:24-cv-00257, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and my cooling fan failed last year.
We have a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder and it’s been giving us all sorts of trouble this yr.
We have 2015 Pathfinder, and we’ve had the same issue.
Not according to this however in that year depending on the miles you may end up with a transmission issue… I have had to replace a tranny in a 2006 murano and in my 2012 murano, I’ve about had it with Nissan and their transmission issues. I recently also replaced the radiator in my 2012 murano!! The transmission in the 2006 was $3000 at the time and in my 2012 it was over $5000. I can’t keep doing this!!
My 2017 Nissan Rouge Sport cooling fan went out in August of last year
I’m about to purchase a 2007 Nissan Murano should be aware of radiator issue ?
