I'd submit a very different reasoned view. Staying in simply shores up the lawyer fees. Nissan is estopped from withdrawing the warranty previously made--they offered it without condition prior to the settlement--it stands alone without the class action lawsuit.ILETRIC said:I just finally opened that letter.
60,000 miles and less then 9 bars. This settlement, lads, is meant strictly for hot states. It does not concern anyone in moderate areas. None of "us" will ever get to 8 bars before or on 60,000 mark. It's "chemically" impossible... I'm at 42,000 plus, with 63-mile range and 1 tooth missing as an example.
So, I do support the poor folks in hot states that got screwed and had to force Nissan's hand for a buyback. Therefore, I decided to stay in for their sake, just in case Nissan decided to give them hard time again. It probably won't happen, but you gotta be sure.
Like you go to your door when you wake up to go piss in the middle of the night, to make sure it's locked because once in the while something didn't happen, somebody screwed up, forgot, didn't pay attention, and so on, and it's not.
Unless you wanted to sue Nissan under those terms that you probably were never made aware of, and thereby give up any future right for yet to be discovered problems, then opting out is the course of action, which ironically, requires your action (opting out) to take no action which relinquishes rights you would tend not to consider. This is not by accident. The lawyers in the room all knew this. Clearly. With a wink and a nod...
Frankly, I can't imagine anyone remaining in the class for any reason accept not wanting to devote the time for the letter and stamp. The class action lawyers in cahoots with Nissan have acted to limit extinguish your future right for recourse, and dealt themselves a fee of $1.9 Million.
Please reconsider opting out... Everybody should opt out... It's a bad deal for the greater of all owners and those who need battery warranty will still have it.
