Nissan Transmission Class Action Settlement Overview:
- Who: Drivers led by plaintiff Teresa Stringer reached a settlement agreement with Nissan of North America.
- Why: Plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against Nissan of North American for allegedly selling certain models of Rogue, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 vehicles with defective transmissions.
- Where: The class action settlement is pending approval in Tennessee federal court.
Nissan of North America reached an estimated $277.7 million settlement agreement with drivers who alleged the company sold certain Rogue, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 vehicles with a defective transmission.
Lead plaintiff Teresa Stringer said the settlement does not cap contributions Nissan will have to pay, and includes reimbursements for repairs, a warranty extension, and $1,000 vouchers for qualified Class Members that can be used towards the purchase of a new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle.
The $277.7 million estimate includes the new vehicle limited warranty extension of 24 months or 24,000 miles — whichever happens first — and repair reimbursements, but does not factor in the vouchers, attorney fees, or administrative costs, according to the motion.
‘Jerking, Lurching’ Alleged in Nissan Transmission Class Action
The class action lawsuit was consolidated from five separate original complaints against Nissan, all of which alleged it sold Rogue, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 vehicles with continuously variable transmissions that, according to the motion, were “prone to unexpected malfunction by hesitating, stalling, jerking, lurching, revving, shaking, juddering and failing prematurely.”
Stringer asked for the court to conditionally certify the plaintiffs into two subclasses, one for drivers who bought 2014-18 Nissan Rogues and one for drivers who purchased 2015-18 Nissan Pathfinders and 2015-18 Infiniti QX60s.
Nissan will fully reimburse Class Members for vehicle repairs done at licensed dealers during the warranty period — which will be retroactively extended — and reimburse up to $5,000 for repairs made at unaffiliated shops, according to the motion.
Drivers who underwent two-or-more Nissan transmission repairs will be eligible to receive the $1,000 vouchers, which must be used within nine months from the settlement’s effective date, according to the motion.
Stringer is also asking for a $5,000 Class representative service award for herself and nine others who were named as plaintiffs.
Nissan reached a separate settlement last month over claims the company sold Nissan Altimas with defective headlights.

I had to replace the transmission on my 2015 Rogue that only had 68,000 miles. Please include me.
Add me also. 2012 Nissan Rogue SL.
I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue SL with 108,000 miles on it. It has been experiencing shuddering and shaking and transmission issues. We are afraid to drive it therefore has been sitting in garage. Have contacted Nissan of North America and they said they couldn’t help me and acted like I was one of the few Rogue owners that had made a complaint. I said are you kidding you know you have a major issue and have class action lawsuits. This is my first Nissan and will be my last. Just stand by your product. I’m a 73 year old grandmother and take care of my vehicles. Never had any issues with my other vehicles other than normal maintenance. Very Disappointing!! There’s an issue with CVTs. They need to accept that. Do I qualify for any assistance?
Hi I have a 2010 Nissan Rogue, current miles 92900, it needs a new CVT again. My 1st CVT went out at 44200. Please let me know if my Rogue qualifies and which lawsuit I may join.
