Nissan Altima Transmission Problem

Lemon law claims lady

Owners of the Nissan Altima have complained about transmission problems.  The variable automatic transmission may malfunction with problems including hard shifting,  stuttering between gears, hesitation and sputtering, vibration, or failure.  No recall to address this has been issued though Nissan has been aware of the problem.  Vehicles with problems include,

2013 Nissan Altima (four-cylinder engine)

2014 Nissan Altima (four-cylinder engine)

2015 Nissan Altima (four-cylinder engine)

2014 Nissan Rogue

2015 Nissan Rogue

2016 Nissan Rogue

A service bulletin attempted to address the problem.  Corrective action: Dealers will either replace the transmission or the valve body inside it. If a new valve body is installed, a new oil pan with an additional magnet will also be installed to collect excess metal fragments that develop over time as a result of normal transmission operation. Read more at https://www.cars.com/articles/2013-2016-nissan-altima-rogue-transmission-issue-1420683183828/#k58UEThoOihyVEiK.99

Nissan Altima Sensor Defect

A Federal court has allowed claim based upon problems with the Nissan Altima, Leaf, Pathfinder and Sentra.  The consumer claimed  his 2013 Nissan Altima has faulty sensors that could render the air bags inoperative. He can proceed with his deceptive-business-practices claim against Nissan North America, a federal judge has ruled.  Zaccagnino et al. v. Nissan North America Inc., No. 1:14-cv-03690, 2015 WL 3929620 (S.D.N.Y. June 17, 2015).
U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton of the Southern District of New York ruled that plaintiff Andrew Zaccagnino plausibly alleges that Nissan knew but did not disclose that a 2014 recall had not remedied the defect in all affected vehicles.
“That is sufficient to plead that those omissions were materially misleading,” the judge ruled.   According to the complaint, the sensor software can register an occupied passenger seat as empty, deactivating the air bag and increasing the risk that an accident could injure the passenger. The plaintiff filed suit on behalf of all owners and lessees of the 2013-2014 Altima, Leaf, Pathfinder and Sentra; 2013 NV200 cargo van; 2013 Infiniti JX35; and 2014 Infiniti Q50 or QX60. Westlaw Journal Automotive, Vol. 34, Iss. 4, 34 No. 4 WJAUTO 8).
 
In refusing to dismiss the business-practices claim, Judge Stanton said N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 349 prohibits deceptive acts or practices that are “misleading in a material way.”
