Transmission class action lawsuit
UPDATE 11/1: Law firm contacted Chern, contact mentioned it looks promising and will consult a transmission expert this week. KEEP TUNED!
OK, not a reality now, but just a thought. 6th Genners, think how much money you have spent, devoted time and unnecessary stress created to this issue. Nissan should be paying us for finding the reason for the badly designed transmissions and then some... or am I wrong? :mad: UPDATE 10/18: Chern made contact with Law firm, they think we have a case! |
do you know anything about class action suits? A warranty is present. Manufacturer performs warranty work within the time frame. Afterward, how do you prove them guilty of something? What danger is present?
I appreciate your effort but class action? |
If anything, I wish I could sue them for emotional distress for all my car problems. lol

I appreciate your effort but class action? How many previous generations of Maxima's have you read about here in the forums with not even half the issues on their transmissions or no issues at all? And to go to the heart of it, Nissan doesn't recommend any maintenance on the transmission, not even fluid changes on the 3.5 SE (I don't know about the SL), I believe they call our transmission a sealed unit. But then look at all the issues we have. Maybe that would count for something. |
Sign me up, 4k+ rebuid BEFORE my turbo was installed. Still under 55K miles on my car now!

I wish I new of a solid way to hold Nissan and others for inferior parts. How/why did the CVT tranny get an extended warranty? How do others accomplish it? |

wanna head it up? lol
what i was getting to is that from my knowledge on the suits, those that sign up for the suit will see partial awards. Say $500 if lucky. I've received minuscule amounts from suits I qualified for unknowingly... $50 since I worked for Sam's Club and Wal-Mart lost for forcing employees to work on breaks. $10 from a refinance loan scam that took $100's from me. More importantly, how does Nissan decide or are legally forced to extend warranties plus actually fix the issue? |
Deus, you're a lawyer, you certainly sound like one! If you are, do you know any firms that could take this?

More importantly, how does Nissan decide or are legally forced to extend warranties plus actually fix the issue? Bottom line, we are paying for something that the manufacturer decided to design poorly. I'm sure from the beginning Nissan knew the design would be defective, but did not care, more money for their Parts Division and the dealerships at the owners expense. Other companies like Transgo actually found a way to fix this issue, yet the 'new' transmissions that Nissan sells are still sold with the defect in them. That's just plain wrong, more money in their pockets, again at the owners expense. As an example, at least Apple accepted their design fault (yes, it was a design that one engineer called before it was even manufactured) with the iphone 4 antenna and provided 'a solution' with the rubber bumpers, I believe they were called. The manufacturer resolved the issue at their expense and I believe are working or already fixed the issue with new phones coming out of the factory. Any lawyers, firms, anyone? |
Call any big law firm and it will be like chum in the water in a sharks tank!
Won't be any shortage of people to sign on once word gets out on all the Orgs! |
Wow, found this without too much effort, interesting lawsuit handled by the legal firm of Kershaw, Cutter and Ratinoff, LLC of California:
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/12/c...afe-causes-un/ It seems BMW extended their warranty for the specific parts on the lawsuit (unless I understood it wrong), but the lawsuit is apparently still on. |
This could apply to the failed pre cats too can't it?
|
I contacted:
http://www.caddellchapman.com/Consum...Products.shtml And gave the lawfirm a description of our 04-06 transmission problems, I'll wait to hear back and get the word out to other members from the Orgs/Boards/Groups/clubs who I know have similiar issues. :cool: |

@edjose17: You're right. Unfortunately, I've had problems with all three in the 2 and a half years that I've had this car.

TO PREVIOUS OWNERS and current owners: If you have the paperwork and receipts for your repairs, save them, these may prove invaluable in court. If you don't have these any longer, go to the shop that fixed your transmission and ask for anything they may have in the computer or files. This will help prove the huge design issue with this transmission, for the lawyers the more paperwork, the better. Chern: Anyway to get in touch with Transgo? Or do the lawyers have to do that? Transgo obviously found the fault and the fix for this transmission. I hope they can share this information. |
Also, CURRENT OWNERS, your transmission may be in good condition now, but has the same design flaw from the factory. Keep reading this thread, we have to find out if the lawsuit covers you, but I have a strong feeling it does.
Let's hope for the best, it's time to get Nissan to accept their fault. |

Do you guys know anything about "class action" lawsuits? The only person who wins in a class action lawsuit is the attorney.

Hey guys, i'm really glad that someone has got the ball rolling on this. Im still having tranny problems right now so when i eventually get a rebuild done i will have to keep my reciept. Even if it takes a while this would benefit all of us 6th gen guys who are going through this crap with this ***tty tranny. I wouldn't care about getting money, it would just be great id nissan would admitt they sold a product of low quality and issue a recall. Good luck with everything chernmax and i will keep checking this thread to see if i can be of some help.

It's all good if the reason is simply to get Nissan to fix the transmission. If anybody is hoping for a nice payout, you'll be really disappointed.

Hmm, I've had my 06 Maxima SE, now have 50k on it, not a single problem. I had hard shifts a while back, but it just needed new Trans fluid.
|
Chern, any updates regarding the law firm?
We are all here patiently waiting... OK, maybe not so patiently :smash: |

transmission problems
Hey guys I'm new here but I've been having the same transmission problems with my 04 maxima and even had the transmission rebuilt once before already but just found out that Nissan has extended their warranty on our cvt transmission here I got this from their web sit nissanassist.com to be exact
Nissan has extended the Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty for the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to 10 years/120,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for CVT transmission repairs, replacement, and related towing on all 2003-2010 model year Nissan vehicles equipped with the CVT. The remainder of the powertrain warranty coverage for components other than the CVT transmission remains unchanged. All other warranty terms, limitations and conditions otherwise apply. Please note that this is not a safety recall, and there are no safety issues relating to your Continuously Variable Transmission. Hope it helps |
