Consumer claims alleging Nissan deliberately marketed defective transmissions can move forward now that a federal judge has largely denied a motion to dismiss.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Irenas said that the plaintiffs in Nelson v. Nissan North America Inc., 11-cv-5712, sufficiently pleaded allegations that Nissan concealed defects in a transmission installed in Maxima, Altima and Quest models in recent years, allegedly resulting in issues ranging from irregular shifting to complete equipment failure.
