Tertiary butyl chloride undergoes substitution reaction in Sn1 mechanism pathway.

For generalized mechanism , Refer to the attachment .:-

Explanation :-
Nucleophilic substitution signifies that electron pair donor reacts with electron pair Acceptor . The fact is 
nucleophile in the SN1 reaction do not have to bear a negative charge. So the reactions is typically getting under "solvolysis" conditions.

Here the weak nucleophile is not much effective for attacking on the backside,especially follow this in case of tertiary substrates.


Hope it Helps :-)
