  CVT transmission would struggle at low speeds, it would feel like it was jumping or getting caught on something. No check engine light or other error codes would display. Dealership insisted nothing was wrong. After 3rd check in 6 years, they finally got an error code and determined we needed a replacement.

  The transfer case need to be replaced. I took my vehicle to the dealer a few months ago and they told me I had a leak but didn't know where it was coming from. I took it back to the dealer yesterday 12/16/22 and they told me where the leak is coming from. The cvt fluid is leaking from the lh axle seal. Murano owners have been complaining about this same issue. The dealership is charging me $712.59 for an issue that I didn't cause. The dealership need to fix this for free because this issued happened during the making of the vehicle and shouldn't fall on the buyer.

  THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR (NO RAIN, NO SNOW ON THE CAR), WHEN THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THE CAR WAS GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH NO BUMPS IN THE ROAD. NO ROCKS HIT THE CAR AND THERE WAS NO COLLISION. IT WAS ABOUT 1:30PM IN DECEMBER IN MICHIGAN, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND, NO ROCKS. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON I'S OWN - DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

  MY VEHICLE RECENTLY BEGAN DISPLAYING A WARNING THAT THE ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND I NOTICED THIS ALSO DISABLED AND DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL RESULTING IN SUDDEN DECELERATION . THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO RESET WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND REOCCURS AFTER 10 TO 15 MINUTES DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SOURCE ISSUE. THE NISSAN SERVICE REP TOLD ME THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND ON NUMEROUS SITES FOUND IT WAS A VERY COMMON AND SERIOUS DEFECT WITH A BOSCH SUPPLIED SENSOR ON THE RADAR . THIS IS A DRIVING SAFETY FEATURE I CONSIDER ESSENTIAL TO MY PURCHASE AND WHEN SUDDENLY FAILS DISENGAGING CRUISE CONTROL PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND INSISTS I PAY A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL TO REPAIR.

  Here is my experience: I purchased a 2015 Nissan Murano new in July 2015. My CVT transmission failed and was replaced under warranty by Nissan in June 2019 at 52,000 miles. Today 11-29-21, at 62,100 miles, my transmission failed again due to the transmission oil/cooler/radiator assembly failing to cause the cooling fluid and the transmission fluid to mix, resulting in having to replace the Transmission, Radiator, and associated assemblies for $6,600!

  ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 7, 2017, THE FRONT/SLIDING PORTION OF THE SUNROOF ON MY 2015 NISSAN MURANO SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-5 IN SEATTLE, WA, AT THE POSTED SPEED (60 MPH). THE SOUND OF THE EXPLOSION WAS DEAFENING (I THOUGHT THAT A GUNSHOT HAD BEEN FIRED AT MY VEHICLE, AND/OR I HAD HAD A CATASTROPHIC TIRE BLOWOUT). LUCKILY THE RETRACTABLE FABRIC "SHIELD" BETWEEN THE SUNROOF AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS DEPLOYED, AND THE SHATTERED GLASS DID NOT FALL ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND PREVENT LARGE CHUNKS OF GLASS FROM FLYING INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I SUBSEQUENTLY REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THE SUNROOF WAS REPLACED BY MY INSURER (THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT GLASS WAS APPROXIMATELY $1500; I PAID A $250 DEDUCTIBLE, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE REST).

  When trying to merge onto the interstate, the car didn't accelerate, causing other vehicles on the road to swerve around me. Afterwards, I noticed that the car was shaking or juddering at low revs (about 1,000 RPM). I internet searched for possible causes and found that this shaking was caused by a known problem with the CVT on my car (Nissan Murano). I bought the car (a 2015 Nissan Murano AWD SL) in 2018 as a certified pre-owned vehicle only used by that Nissan dealership, it now has 63,841 miles on it. I needed the vehicle so I had the transmission replaced (I was told that 'fixing' the problem was not an option), at a cost of $7,157.19. There was no warning, no lights on the dash, etc. I had also just had the car serviced at the dealership (on 8/3/24, which cost me $2,618.55) where they replaced the CVT fluid as part of the service. I'm just lucky that the transmission didn't fail while I was actually going at a higher speed. Nissan needs to recall and/or replace these transmissions.

  I bought this Nissan Murano after the owner of Suncoast Quality Cars gives me the NADA - Consumers Report, which states the car was scored as an 82, in "Good Condition" with major repairs needed. After picking the Murano up 1-week after I made the purchase, when driven more than a couple of miles, you could feel the transmission slipping. While the owner of Suncoast said that his mechanic had done a full diagnostic test and had confirmed NADA's scoring, just to make sure I took it to Courtesy Nissan of Tampa and paid for their Certified Nissan Mechanics to do a full diagnostic test. Courtesy Nissan's Diagnostic test revealed that the transmission would need to be replaced, which while I did purchase a used car warranty from Suncoast, the car has been out of commission since roughly a week after receiving delivery from Suncoast. When I contacted [XXX] (Owner) by email on 4-separate occasions, from 2-separate email addresses, and text, he states he never received them. Given the owner's approach, and refusing to own up to his lies, or take any kind of responsibility here, I would like a full refund, as I would have never purchased the car, if I knew it had a major safety issue and would have to have the transmission replaced immediately after delivery, and I most certainly wouldn't have paid the price of a car that NADA stated was in "Good Condition", as the cost of the transmission is actually 65% of the price I paid for the car. With the transmission needing to be replaced, the same measuring tool (NADA) that Suncoast used to sell me the car, actually states the car is worth thousands-less. Attached, you will also find a copy of the results from the Certified Nissan Mechanic at Courtesy Nissan of Tampa.

• 10/28/2021· POWER TRAIN

  On several occasions while the car is being driven, the transmission goes into neutral by itself and stops responding to the throttle without any warning. This puts drivers at serious risk since the car while following its inertial movement must move to the side of the road or it could stop in the middle of the lane. According to the car's maintenance record, the transmission was replaced in 2017 however it failed again in 2021. The car was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and his recommendation was to repair the transmission at my own cost of $ 4000.

  TWO TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ROADS. MY GAS GAUGE AND TRIP MONITOR INDICATED I HAD ABOUT 60 MILES UNTIL EMPTY THEN AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES IT SAID ABOUT 30 MILES TO EMPTY AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND LOSING POWER AND I HAD TO MAKE EMERGENCY MOVES TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT. BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PULL UNTO THE SHOULDER AND DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK WHICH TOOK ONLY SLIGHTLY OVER 15 GALLONS AND THE TANK HOLDS 19 GALLONS. I HAVE FOUND THE IDENTICAL COMPLAINT ON SEVERAL WEB SITES AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY HELP FROM NISSAN OR EVEN AN ADMITTANCE THAT THE PROBLEM EXITS. I JUST RETURNED FROM MY DEALER IN NAPLES, FL. AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS THAT NO ERROR CODES WERE SHOWING AND I COULD NOT EXPECT THE GAUGE TO BE ACCURATE AT ALL TIMES SINCE IT IS CONSTANTLY RECALCULATING AND CHANGING DISTANCE TO EMPTY. THAT REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS APPARENTLY NOT OUT OF GAS AND IN THE PAST I HAVE PUT OVER 18 GALLONS IN THE TANK SO I AM CERTAIN IT WAS NOT OUT OF GAS. I BELIEVE THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PICKUP TUBE, SENSORS OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH. HAVING YOUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALL IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK IS NO LAUGHING MATTER AND WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ON ONE OF THE FORUMS THE OWNER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM IF THEY WOULD NOT LET THEIR TANK GET BELOW 1/4 FULL. NOT MUCH HELP! *TR

I CONSIDER MY DAUGHTER & I LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT INJURED BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE.

  WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEED, TRANSMISSION JUDDERS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LUNGE AND VIBRATE TILL IT GETS TO A HIGHER RPM. AT A CERTAIN RPM, THE CAR CAN SIMPLE LUG REPEATEDLY IF THE SPEED IS HELD CONSTANT. THE CAR STORES AN ERROR CODE AND THE FIX PER THE DEALER IS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE AT ONLY 39,200 MILES. WHILE NISSAN CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, A REPAIR THIS MAJOR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY. BASED ON THE REPAIR ORDER I WAS PROVIDED, THIS WOULD'VE COST OVER $1,600 FOR PARTS ALONE, AND THE DEALER NEEDED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A FULL WEEK.

  My drivers side door is locked. I started my car, drive off and it auto locks at a certain speed. When I stopped I was unable to unlock the door. I was forced to climb out the passenger side. The car had a manual key lock, this also failed, it will lock the other doors but will not unlock any of them. It failed and there is no manual way to open the door. This is a major safety issue, if I was involved in an accident I would have been trapped in the car. I approached Nissan. They laughed it off and say my car is out of warranty so I must pay to repair this. I understand that, but this is not a broken light or a leaking fuel tank, this failure is a major fail in keeping me safe in my vehicle. When I took it to the dealer for repair they gave me an estimate based on a similar case they had a few weeks before, and I read numerous reports from others owners of vehicles on the internet.

THEN THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AT RANDOM TIMES WITHOUT HAVING APPLIED THE BRAKES. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A COINCIDENT THAT THIS HAPPENED. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS SUSPECT THOUGH AS I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT AND THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR THE ABS MODULE RECALL. I STILL FEEL THAT SOMETHING WAS TWEAKED OR THE SYSTEM'S FAILURE WAS EXACERBATED BY HAVING HAD WORK PERFORMED ON IT, DESPITE THE ABS MODULE BEING LOCATED ON THE FIREWALL AND THE AEB SENSOR LOCATED IN THE FRONT GRILL. I ALSO HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THAT 2015,2016,2017 AND 2018 MODEL YEAR ROGUES,ROGUE SPORT, MURANOS, ALTIMAS, MAXIMAS, LEAFS, SENTRAS, ARMADA'S AND PATHFINDERS HAVE ALL BEEN IMPACTED BY AEB ISSUES. THE MOST DANGEROUS, WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO AEB MODE FOR NO REASON AND APPLIES THE BRAKES. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN PROCESS NOW AND SOME TSB'S THAT YOU HAVE ISSUED FOR FIXES. I HAVE OWNED OR OWN 4 NISSANS SINCE 2010...A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA WHICH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED BY A 2019 NISSAN SENTRA AND MY 2015 MURANO WHICH REPLACED MY 2011 INFINIT G7XS. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR SERVICE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THIS MOST RECENT $1006.62 REPAIR WHICH THE DEALER SAID WOULD NOT BE COVERED AS IT WAS INCIDENTAL TO THE RECALL REPAIR. I FEEL THE ONUS IS ON NISSAN TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS REPAIR AS THERE IS ENDLESS PROOF ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS FEATURE HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLES IT WAS INSTALLED ON. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW YOU INTEND TO HANDLE MY ISSUE. THANK YOU, [XXX] EMAIL [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

  TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AS ALWAYS AND HIT MY OTHER VEHICLE. THE BACKUP SENSOR DIDN'T SOUND. I NOW HAVE A DENT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AWAY FROM HOME BUT LUCKILY I HAD SOMEONE DIRECTING ME AND I WAS RIGHT ON THE CAR AND NO SENSOR WENT OFF. MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE A PART OF RECALL. I PURCHASED IT IN MARCH 2019 AND PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY.

  The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and hesitated, after which the vehicle lost motive power. The driver was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to restart but was unable to shift into drive or reverse. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the CVT transmission fluid needed to be flushed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 204,000.

  THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING AND IN TURN DEACTIVATES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH AN 18-WHEELER FOLLOWING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CODE SHOWED THAT THE DISTANCE SENSOR 'MUST BE REPLACED' BECAUSE IT WAS OUT-OF-DATE. WHEN I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CAR TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT, THEY REFUSED. I HAVE DEALT WITH FOUR PEOPLE AT THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE $1400 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY FACTORY ORIGINAL PART. ALSO NOTE, I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWO TIMES IN 9 MONTHS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THOSE WERE COVERED UNDER THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY. I AM BEGINNING TO SUSPECT I HAVE A LEMON.
