2012-2017 Nissan Sentra CVT Class Action Filed

In early September another consumer class action in California was filed against Nissan alleging the CVT transmissions in 2012-2017 Sentra’s are prone to premature failure.  I say another because there was an entirely different class action filed in 2016 alleging that the JATCO manufactured CVT transmission in 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinders and 2014 Infiniti QX60’s that recently settled (under that settlement, class members received an extended warranty on the transmission.  Whether that is a good settlement is up for debate).  

Here, the crux of the new class action is similar to the old in that the CVT transmission will fail due to overheating, which allegedly is too small to cool the CVT transmission.  The issue is fairly well documented on NHTSA and Nissan has known about this issue for awhile based on Technical Service Bulletins they’ve issued before, found here:

Ostensibly, Nissan has known about this issue for quite some time.  If you're in California and you’ve purchased a CVT equipped Nissan and you’re experiencing issues, you may be entitled to a refund!  Individual actions, as opposed to class actions, are preferable as the potential reward can be much greater and, since each case is unique in it's own right, individualized attention can be given to each matter.
