2014-2016 Nissan Rogue CVT Class Action Filed

Nissan has a problem with their CVT Transmissions.

That’s pretty well known. There were class actions that covered the 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinders and the 2013-2017 Nissan Altima, Sentra and Versa.

And now there is a class action involving the 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue for their problematic CVT Transmission.

Recently filed in Tennessee Federal Court, the class action law suit alleges that Nissan knew about the dangerous and defective symptoms of the CVT transmission installed in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Nissan Rogue. They also allege that they’ve known about the issue since approximately October of 2015, when they first started issuing Technical Service Bulletins for the Nissan Rogue.

Those technical service bulletins are:

  • TSB NTB15-083: Concerns 2014-2016 Nissan Rogues and reprogramming the transmission control modules due to “a transmission judder (shake, shudder, single or multiple bumps or vibration).”

  • TSB NTB15-084a: Outlines a procedure for replacement of the Nissan Rogue CVT assembly.

  •  TSB NTB15-086a: Concerns 2014-2016 Nissan Rogues that may “hesitate and/or have a lack of power” and prescribes various service procedures including replacement of the CVT assembly.

  • TSB NTB15-084b: Concerns 2014-2016 Nissan Rogues and a “transmission judder (shake, shudder, single or multiple bumps or vibration),” with dealers told to replace CVT assembly or the valve body.

  • TSB NTB15-086f: Concerns 2014-2016 Nissan Rogues and replacing the CVT assembly, valve body and reprogramming the transmission control module.

These TSB’s are in line with those issued for the Nissan Altima, Nissan Sentra, Nissan Versa, Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Juke.

A startling problem here is that, once out of warranty, it can cost approximately $4,000 to have the problematic CVT replaced AND, generally, dealerships often have trouble verifying the symptoms until it's too late!

In prior class actions, putative class members received a warranty extension for the CVT transmission once litigation was resolved after three or so years.

The name of the Nissan Rogue class action is Stringer, et al., v. Nissan of North America, Inc., et al.
