2019-2020 Nissan Pathfinder / Rogue CVT Class Action
A new class action has been filed that alleges that 2019-2020 Nissan Rogues come equipped with a defective CVT transmission that as issues when accelerating, revving engines without an increase in speed, jerking, juddering vehicles and will prematurely fail. Generally, if the Nissan is out of the manufacturers powertrain warranty (5 years / 60,000 miles), then the consumer has to pay the cost of the CVT replacement, which is typically around $4,000.00.
The Nissan class action lawsuit alleges the 2019-2020 Rogue SUVs cause safety hazards and owners are forced to pay high fees to replace the transmission, usually in excess of $4,000.00.
The Pathfinder / Rogue class action makes reference to a previous class action lawsuit settlement that included 2014-2018 Nissan Rogue SUVs. The plaintiffs contend 2019-2020 Nissan Rogues allegedly have the "same or substantially similar transmission" as 2014-2018 Nissan Rogues.
Another Nissan class action regarding the CVT transmissions, Stringer v. Nissan North America, was granted final approval in March of 2022.
Per the Nissan Rogue CVT lawsuit, Nissan has issued multiple technical service bulletins (TSBs) to dealerships regarding 2019-2020 Rogues and transmission issues.
