2013-14 Nissan Pathfinders the subject of new class action - Washington Examiner
LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – A class action lawsuit seeks restitution for an apparently faulty transmission in some recent models of the Nissan Pathfinder. According to a lawsuit filed on March 30 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Gerardo Torres and Angela Matlin are leading a class action complaint against Nissan North America Inc, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. Nissan removed the case to U. S. District Court for the Central District of California on April 30 under the Class Action Fairness Act. The lawsuit states that the defendants portrayed CVT as a way to satisfy buyers' desire for more efficiency while maintaining the horsepower from previous models and having an engine that could achieve "the ideal rpm for the conditions at hand,... Ultimately, the lawsuit states, the class action was brought because the transmissions had flaws that were causing "shaking, juddering, jerking, delayed acceleration and, eventually, transmission failure. Ultimately, the lawsuit alleges that Nissan hid a "transmission defect" in these engines. Source: www.washingtonexaminer.com
