Class Action Suits for the Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission Cvt
2022 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.
Common issues involving Nissan CVT transmissions include:
Nissan Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs:
Does my Nissan Have a CVT Transmission?
Your vehicle's transmission type can be found in the owner's manual. If you do not have the manual, you may also open your driver's side door where you can find a white card on the side that has information about the year your vehicle was made, its engine details, transmission and other items.

Should I Pursue a Lemon Law Case or a Class Action Settlement?

Is my Nissan Rogue, Nissan Pathfinder, or Infiniti QX60 a Lemon?
Your Nissan Rogue, Nissan Pathfinder, or Infiniti QX60 may be a lemon if you have taken it in for repeat repair during the manufacturer limited or powertrain warranty.
