There is a strict deadline to claim compensation from Nissan Renault. If you want to join this action, you must do so BEFORE 22 September 2024.
What is the Nissan Renault emissions cheating case about?
The Nissan Renault emissions cheating case is part of a broader scandal known as ‘dieselgate,’ which began in 2015 when US investigators discovered that Volkswagen Group had been using illegal software to cheat on emissions tests.
Following this revelation, other diesel car brands, including Nissan and Renault, were also found to emit toxic fumes far above legal limits.
According to reports, “Extremely polluting” Nissan and Renault diesel cars were found to be on sale, 20 months after the emissions scandal broke. It is also alleged that some affected Nissan Renault vehicles emitted emissions up to 18 x the legal limit, despite the global pollution crisis.
Lawyers argue that, as well as violating environmental regulations, Nissan Renault also misled its customers regarding the environmental impact and performance of its diesel vehicles, leading to:
- High fuel bills: Lawyers argue that Nissan Renault owners experienced increased fuel consumption, leading to higher costs.
- Excessive maintenance costs: It is alleged that affected diesel vehicles required more frequent and costly maintenance due to the emissions-cheating devices.
- Decreased vehicle value: According to legal experts, the affected cars were worth less than their original purchase or lease price, leading to financial loss.
- Potential health risks: The case argues that Nissan and Renault owners were unknowingly driving cars that emitted higher levels of harmful pollutants, posing potential health risks.
- Loss of trust: Trust in Nissan Renault as a brand was eroded.
Nissan Renault disputes these allegations.
Nissan Renault will face trial in October 2025. If found guilty, affected Nissan and Renault owners could be entitled to substantial compensation.
Anyone who purchased or leased an affected Nissan Renault diesel vehicle (first registered between 2009 and 2020) could now have a no-win, no-fee compensation claim.
The deadline to join this action is rapidly approaching, so act now before it’s too late to sign up!
