Kerner v. Nissan North America, Inc.

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Nissan North America over an alleged defect in one or more of its vehicle models. The plaintiffs claim that Nissan knew or should have known about the problem but continued to sell the affected vehicles without disclosing the issue to buyers. As a result, vehicle owners were left to deal with safety risks, unexpected repair costs, and diminished vehicle value. The lawsuit argues that Nissan failed to adequately warn consumers or provide a timely, effective remedy. The proposed class likely includes current and former owners and lessees of the affected Nissan vehicles purchased or leased in the United States, though the exact model years and vehicle lines are defined within the complaint.
