But for thousands of drivers, that promise quickly turned into a costly nightmare. Reports began flooding online forums and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Abrupt gear \u201cshudder\u201d at highway speeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delayed engagement when merging or overtaking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudden loss of power triggering limp\u2011mode warnings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete transmission failure well before the 60,000\u2011mile mark<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealership technicians often diagnosed the issue as \u201cnormal CVT behavior,\u201d but repeated repairs and software updates failed to cure the underlying defect. Meanwhile, out\u2011of\u2011warranty owners forked over $4,000\u2013$6,000 for replacement transmissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fed\u2011up consumers banded together in <em>Beaver, et al. v. Nissan North America Inc.<\/em> (Case No. 3:22\u2011cv\u201100785, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Tennessee). Plaintiffs alleged that Nissan knew\u2014thanks to internal testing and warranty\u2011claim data\u2014that the CVT\u2019s belt\u2011and\u2011pulley system was prone to overheating and premature wear. Yet the automaker kept silent, leaving drivers to discover the issue the hard way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-65-1024x398.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-65-1024x398.png 1024w, https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-65-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-65-768x299.png 768w, https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-65.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Nissan denies wrongdoing, it agreed in April&nbsp;2025 to settle, providing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Extended warranty<\/strong> for CVT components to 84\u00a0months\/84,000\u00a0miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full or partial reimbursement<\/strong> of prior repairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A $1,500 purchase\/lease voucher<\/strong> for owners with repeated failures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free inspection and software updates<\/strong> to mitigate future issues<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The settlement still awaits final approval, but the claims portal is live, and early filers have already started receiving acknowledgment letters.
