2022-2024 Nissan CVT Transmission Settlement Update (Rogue, Pathfinder & QX60) (2024)

2022-2024 Nissan CVT Class Action Settlement

A recent class action settlement has been reached between Nissan North America and consumers with several Nissan models that are equipped with defective continuously variable transmissions (CVTs).

The most recent lawsuit alleged that the Japanese automaker knowingly sold vehicles with defective CVT transmissions. Nissan agreed to pay over $277 million as part of the settlement to resolve certain defective transmissions claims. The following Nissan models are included in the 2022 Nissan CVT settlement:

• 2014 – 2018 Nissan Rogue
• 2015 – 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
• 2015 – 2018 Infiniti QX60

This latest Nissan class-action lawsuit to settle alleges that several vehicles were equipped with defective transmissions and that the automaker knew about the CVT problem for years. Several drivers say that transmission and other lemon issues began appearing in their vehicles in as little 20,000 miles.

In 2020, three separate class-action lawsuits were settled with Nissan North America. The bases for these lawsuits were similar claims, i.e., that the manufacturer knowingly sold vehicles with defective CVT transmission systems.

Class action settlements were reached in all three prior lawsuits, which covered the following Nissan models:

• 2012 – 2017 Nissan Versa
• 2014 – 2017 Nissan Versa Note
• 2013 – 2017 Nissan Sentra
• 2013 – 2016 Nissan Altima
• 2013 – 2017 Nissan Juke

Nissan CVT Problems

If you own or lease a Nissan and have experienced issues involving its transmission system, the manufacturer may have sold you a lemon. Nissan’s problematic CVT has been a top lemon law complaint for years involving a wide range of Nissan models.

In comparison to other transmissions, continuously variable transmissions are apparently prone to overheating and premature wear. It is also both difficult and costly to repair a CVT. Transmission rebuilds can be costly, running anywhere from $3,500 to $8,000 or more.
