A website has been established to inform Class Members of their rights under a Nissan, Infiniti peeling paint class action settlement.
A settlement has been struck which, if approved, will resolve claims that the paint on Nissan and Infiniti vehicles peels prematurely. The settlement awaits final approval by the court.
While the website is live, it is not accepting claims yet. Top Class Actions will provide claim filing instructions as soon as they become available.
Meanwhile, viewers will receive an email notice when this article is updated with more information by using a free Top Class Actions account and clicking the “Follow Article” button at the top of the post.
Class Members include all those customers in the U.S. and U.S. territories who purchased a white-painted Nissan Rogue that was produced between Jan. 11, 2013 and April 23, 2013, and/or who purchased a white-painted Infiniti QX56 produced between Nov. 20, 2009 and Dec. 12, 2012.
The Nissan Rogue, Infiniti class action lawsuit was filed by Michelle Nelson in November 2017. She claimed that she purchased a used 2011 Infiniti QX56 with “Pearl White” paint for around $43,000.
Allegedly, there were around 68,000 miles on the vehicle when she purchased it. Nelson states that she purchased a 48,000 mile, 48-month extended warranty from a Nissan affiliate for $6,500.
Nelson says that on or around February 2017, she noticed that the paint on her vehicle began to fade, and the next month, the paint began to peel. According to the Nissan paint class action lawsuit, the peeling was caused by a defect that is common to many Nissan Rogue and Infiniti vehicles.
The Nissan peeling paint class action lawsuit alleged that Nissan was aware of the defect, but continued to sell the vehicles without warning customers of the defect.
Additionally, the Nissan class action lawsuit claims that Nissan failed to take responsibility of providing meaningful relief to customers who complained about the problem.
Nissan has not admitted any wrongdoing, but agreed to settle the false advertising claims to avoid the costs and risks of continuing to litigate.
If the settlement is approved, Class Members have a few options in the Nissan peeling paint class action settlement. The deadline to file a claim is Dec. 19, 2020. Customers who receive benefits will waive their right to pursue independent litigation against the company.
Customers may also exclude themselves from the settlement by Nov. 29, 2019. Customers who do this will not receive benefits, but will retain their rights to pursue independent litigation against the company over the issue. Class Members who do nothing will not receive benefits and will give up rights to sue the company about the issue.
Class Members may also object to the settlement by Nov. 29, 2019, or may attend a hearing about the fairness of the settlement on Dec. 19, 2019.

I have a pearl white 2018 Nissan Murano. I had a spot where paint chip at the top of the driver’s side door. Took it to a body shop, they said the paint job was defective. And the if he tried to tape off the area, it is likely the paint will peel off. If I were to get the whole car painted, they would need to strip the paint first (or else it would happen again) and would cost roughly $12,000. I called Nissan to see if anything could be done, they said they can’t do anything. I am beyond shocked!
Please add 2012 Nissan Titan paint flaking
I have a 2019 rogue sv, blue in color and my entire hood and back of the car has peeled and looks terrible. I bought it 03/20/2020 and had it taken care of with regular maintenance and washed with No harsh chemicals .
I have a 2015 pearl white Rogue and it has always been parked under cover. It is miticulous on the inside looks new. It is peeling/chipping/fading all over due to defective primer/trim/paint/clear coat, etc. I have emailed Nissan executives over and over again so they all not but refuse to resolve. My Rogue is still under warranty. Have any of you found an attorney or a new class action I could be a part of? I have documentation for a Nissan dealership GM stating its defective on all panels. I also have documentation/estimate from the manager of a Nissan body shop stating all panels are defective and the entire car needs to be repainted. Thank you
We have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder with the pearl white paint that is peeling. The roof of our Pathfinder has multiple large spots where the white paint has peeled to reveal the gray primer. Can you tell me if there is a class action suit that includes the Nissan Pathfinder?
I have a 2018 pathfinder .I bought it brand new. Now 2024 the white paint is peeling off the hood. Do I have any chance of getting it fixed? Due to bad paint or sealer.
My 2015 QX80 pearl white paint is peeling all over and looks terrible. The quotes I have e gotten are ridiculous. I bought this car used in 2021 with no paint problems, I washed it 2 weeks after owning it and all the paint on my hood started peeling all over now it looks gray and rusted. I live in Florida I know the sun kills cars paint but still. I have never had issues like this before with any other car used or not. I have contacted Infiniti and they won’t do anything except tell me it’ll be about $4,000 to do an all new paint job since now rust is coming through. Thought I bought my dream car but I’m ready for it to be gone.
