A federal class action lawsuit claims Nissan knowingly sold certain Maxima, Altima and Quest vehicles equipped with defective automatic transmissions that can suddenly and unexpectedly fail while being driven.
According to the Nissan transmission defect class action lawsuit, the allegedly defective transmissions are present in 2004-2006 Nissan Maximas, 2005-2006 Nissan Altimas, and 2004-2007 Nissan Quests. The class action lawsuit claims Nissan knew, or should have known, since at least 2004 that the automatic transmissions in these vehicles are defective, which can cause them to break down prematurely; experience transmission slips, delayed shifts, and acceleration surging; and suffer mechanical failure.
Rather than alerting consumers about this safety hazard and offering to repair the vehicles, “Nissan has concealed this problem from its customers at the time of purchase or lease and thereafter,” the class action lawsuit states. Not only has this put consumers in danger, but it has also allowed Nissan to profit from the defect by selling replacement parts to Class Members.
The Nissan transmission defect class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all U.S. consumers who purchased or leased any 2004 through 2006 Maxima, 2005 through 2006 Altima, or 2004 through 2007 Quest vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. It is seeking class certification, damages, disgorgement of profits, and injunctive relief.

How can I be add to list ?
have a 2006 nissan maxima, car started slip and jerking ,
Bought a 2005 Maxima today. Noticed small things in the transmission. Now I know more.
Previous vehicle was 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid. Catastrophic battery failure, $4000 to replace. Dealer I bought from say “”not them, call Honda USA. BIG class action lawsuit, buyers will get a $100 check or a $1000 voucher to buy another wonderful Honda with new problems. Service manager candidly told me, she would not buy a hybrid.
Thought I was trading up, now realize they are the same company using the same methods to screw their vehicle owners.
Out of the fire, and into the toilet bowl.
Our 2005 Maxima just had its transmission rebuilt do to the same problems described above. Not only did it slip and jerk, but then the engine started to rev up on its own – only to jump forward out of control. This car is a serious danger to drivers. Has anyone learned how to join this class action suit???
