Also replaced the transmission under warranty. Now I'm being told that even with only 29,000 miles, it's not covered under warranty. At least conventional Transmissions would slip, have poor shift but would have some warning. This is a know problem and they are ignoring the fact they put out a defective product that could cause injuries or deaths. Just that the gears transfer case actually lost a tooth or something else that caused the pinion to be halfway ground up. Will let you know results. I am sure you will not get many people to agree with you on this, as you are clearly wrong.
My 8 year old son was with me and this could have caused an accident and injury. After reading hundreds of similar complaints on the internet, I feel that Nissan should be forced to recall all Murano models with the cvt transmission and repair them. Radiator and struts replaced earlier. After reading the Nissan owner's website postings, I found that this has been a recurring problem with a very large number of Nissan Murano owners. This is a safety issue. Took to an independent shop for final repair.
Luckily, I was not hit by any cars. Found plastic and metal shavings. If that doesn't work the gasket will need replacing. Purchased used part on eBay for 800, then had dealer install it. I leave the dealer and the car is running ok until then the sputtering and bucking returns take it back to the dealer and they are saying that it might be a transmission issue. The vehicle was towed to another dealership, who determined the automatic transmission was defective, and was replaced. That's just the way these places work.
In the meantime, reading up on the bad performance of the transmission for this car and worried about a 6K repair bill I can not afford to pay, but what do you do, junk it? And yes I do know that all manufacturers have their problems with every make and model. When I called consumer affairs and escalated it to the executive team. Dealer greased the boots and cleaned them. Took it to transmission specialist who could not diagnose issue. Sunday would not have been a business day for mechanics either.
Brought back in right before 100,000 miles and Nissan replaced at no cost. Will replace valve body on next visit in a few days. Transmission not shifting properly causing the car to be sluggish. I had to turn the car off at the stop light then turn it back on to get the car to drive. They advised me to contact Nissan since it did have the 10 year 120k warranty.
It's too bad because I really like the Rogue that I test drove and I would have purched one. Dealer says something wrong with transfer case itself and should be replaced. Dealer had previously replaced transfer case under warranty. After getting on the highway and pressing the gas pedal again, the acceleration was delayed and would only go up to about 40 mph, but the rpms were extremely high. Google search Nissan total sales of all Muranos from 2003 till present. This problem has continued but always after driving the car for a while or when I am in stop and go traffic. If it is leaking at the transmission cooling line in the radiator do I need a new radiator or can hoses be replaced or….
Driving in 3rd gear instead of fourth will not affect your transmission as much as your engine. If you purchase anything cars, electronics, homes, clothing, etc based on what you read on internet forums, you'd likely never buy anything. It is an Altima with a boxy body and slightly reworked drivetrain. Good luck with every other car dealer in the world then. Mechanic noticed that the transfer case was leaking. . You know how those shops work with you, in a way that you can't back out later.
Even that dealer not the same one who sold it to me is trying to talk me out of the repair as the new 4k cost would only get me about 4k as a trade in value anyways. If it's a half-shaft seal you won't need to pull the engine, just the axle shaft. Had to have the car towed and chose their partner authorized Nissan dealer, since I was not sure of the exact issue. We are considering another car instead. Mechanic recommended getting rid of the vehicle.
Doesnt matter if in gear or in nuetral. Every time I try to take off from a stop, it takes awhile for any acceleration to occur. No response to gas pedal, So dangerous, he was lucky to get to the shoulder. They took an extra 5 days to call me back and ended up laughing at me and telling me my problem was insignificant. I turn the car around to make it home and the car left me on the side of the road barely in the breakdown lane. Also, there is a clinking noise in the engine when taking off at slow speeds. As soon as it went in gear, it would not rev or drive.
