Nissan Maxima Transmission Defect,

A New Jersey federal judge dismissed one plaintiff's claim in a class action accusing Nissan of manufacturing and concealing defective transmissions in the 2004-06 Nissan Maxima. Thousands of people complained of transmission problems on the Maxima.  However, many of these complaints involved claims after the warranty period. 

U.S. District Judge Joseph E. Irenas granted Nissan’s summary judgment motion for claims brought by Karim Abdullah, one of several lead plaintiffs in the suit claiming a faulty valve body in the five-speed automatic transmission.  The Court found “no reasonable juror” would find the plaintiff experienced issues during the warranty period and problems thereafter were not relevant.
