Why should I have to jump through their hoops if I want nothing to do with it?LTLFTcomposite said:Most people will remain in the class because that's the default if no action is taken. I should get myself excluded from the class, but it's an even money bet the form will sit on my desk and get buried under other higher priorities.

Well, you could do that, but now that you have posted info that the owner of Leaf number 936 knows about the settlement, the judge may not buy it.oscar said:100% agree with above...why we have to go out our way to opt out. WHy waste my valuable time to write a letter to opt out. Can I go to judge later and said I never receive a letter.

I presume it means the Leaf owners who actually filed the suit (I think there were two of them) would get $5,000 each, while the attorneys get $1.9 million. Sounds fair to me.stumped said:In the settlement part 16 says "How much is the Class Counsel being paid?"
It says $1,900,000. And continues "Additionally, Class Counsel will apply to the Court for payments of $5,000 each to the Class Representatives for their service to the Class."
Does anyone know what this means? Does it mean that for every car that remains in the class action suit that the lawyers will get $5,000.

Stoaty is correct. The two Class Reprsentatives get $5000. We are "Class" or "Class Members" which is stated in part 2 of the settlement paper.
Well, I got the letter, and wondered, and yep, I too think Stoaty nailed it...DaveinOlyWA said:Sloaty; i think you nailed it

Most of the class action suit notices I get involve stocks (they are common lawyer scams to extort money from companies because the stock went down; the defendants always settle because it is cheaper than continuing to litigate). I always have to opt in, usually by submitting a lot of information to verify that I qualify. I can't recall ever getting one of these where the default was to be a part of the class.Vuman said:DGP, most of the time the default is remaining in the class action because you usually get some benefits even if you do nothing. (and yes, most of the time its a few bucks and the lawyers get a few millions ) ...

It's worth noting that even if you do opt out, you likely will still get the same warranty protection that everyone else gets, because Nissan doesn't warranty owners, they warranty cars. The court considers this warranty as a settlement that applies to the owner. But you can guarantee Nissan won't be implementing it that way.
Vuman said:Just got back from a Nissan dealership. We pulled up the warranty by my VIN and it is confirmed that the battery degradation warranty is there. The below 9 bars before 5yr/60k warranty is in affect. This class action is the most worthless I've seen, suing for something we already have. I'll now call 1-800-nissan1 to confirm and ask them above the lawsuit. Will then contact the plaintiffs lawyer and see what the hell is going on there.
uwskier20 said:Also stumped on what to do. I tossed my notification, figuring the expanded warranty was sufficient, but am now having major second thoughts.
If I opt out, would it be possible that I would lost the expanded battery warranty coverage? Doesn't seem like it, but always a possibility, I suppose.
More likely, I might just object, and outline a few of my issues; namely, the precipitous drop (very non-linear!) in capacity from 97% in April to 85-86% today. I'm at 42,300 miles with all 12 bars, and have babied my battery along, but found the rapid capacity loss to be alarming. The lack of info from Nissan also bugs me; that doesn't really have monetary value, but it would quiet my nerves, as I would have more certainty in what I need to do down the road (e.g., new car vs. new battery).
Also, I think I should have gone to law school. $2 million! Good grief. :twisted:
