2004 Nissan Crew

MY 2004 TITAN LE (TOW PACKAGE) HAD 32000 (+OR-) MILES WHEN I HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE REAR END. THE DEALERSHIP EXAMINED THE TRUCK AND ADVISED THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR END. NOW 3500 MILES LATER (TOTAL MILEAGE 37000) IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. TONIGHT, IT'S IN THE SHOP. WILL IT GO OUT AGAIN? AFTER READING THIS SITE, MY GUESS WOULD BE AN INTELLIGENT, YES! *NM

TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES STARTED LEAKING AND WERE OF THE PLASTIC SELF TIGHTENING. DEALER REPLACED LEAKING ONE WITH REGULAR HOSE CLAMP AND SOLVED PROBLEM, LATER HAD TO HAVE OTHER CONNECTION REPLACED FOR THE SAME FAILURE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE ENROUTE ON INTERSTATE, WITHIN MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE EMPTIED AND CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OR FIRE BY EXCESS OIL COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I CONSIDER A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS A VERY INEXPENSIVE FIX TO 25 CENT CLAMPS. *NM

MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO SL HAD 19,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT'S TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SOLENOID(?)DEEP INSIDE THAT MEANT THE PART COULDN'T BE REPLACED BUT THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED MY CAR STALLED AT EVERY LOW SPEED, STOP SIGN, AND LIGHTS. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS GETTING IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE A FRIEND IN LC TEXAS WHO'S 04 SAME CAR TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 10,000 MILES. OF COURSE THESE ARE COVERED WITH THE 36,000 WARRANTY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS EXPENSIVE CAR LIKE MY OTHERS UNTIL IT HAS 150,000 MILES BUT I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS CARS NEW CVR SHIFTLESS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IF 2 PEOPLE IN LC TEXAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH VERY NEW CARS. *NM

WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO ITS PARKING SPOT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO UNHOOK THE BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TOW VEHICLE, LEAVING THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. AS I TURNED THE TRAILER JACK TO LIFT BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE TITAN TRUCK, WHICH IS THE TOW VEHICLE, IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE, AND STARTED TRAVELING BACKWARDS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE TRUCK AND PRESS THE BRAKE, THE TREE NEXT TO THE VEHICLE CAUGHT THE DRIVER DOOR. BECAUSE I WAS HOLDING ON TO AND USING THE OPEN DOOR AS LEVERAGE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE CAB TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND VERY CLOSE TO BEING RUN OVER BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE DOOR WHILE PASSING OVER ME CAUSED A SEVERE ABRASION TO MY LEFT ARM. AS THE RESULT OF THE REVERSE MOVEMENT OF MY TRUCK CAUSED BY THE GEAR SHIFT JUMPING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, MY BOAT WAS PUSHED DOWN INTO A CULVERT, DAMAGE AT THIS POINT UNKNOWN. INSURANCE CLAIM PENDING; LIABILITY TO NISSAN CORPORATION TO BE INVESTIGATED. *JB
