INTAKE DUCT OF MY NISSAN MURANO SEPARATED FROM THE RESONATOR WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WE THEN HAD TO HAVE TOW THE A BODY SHOP AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I THEN PAID THE CHARGES OUT OF MY POCKET, BUT A WEEK LATER AFTER THIS HAPPENED WE GOT A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE STATING THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING AND THAT I NEE IT TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH NISSAN ABOUT GETTING MY OUT OF POCKET MONEY BACK FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE OCTOBER AND THEY JUST KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY NISSAN MURANO IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN OKLAHOMA CITY. MY WIFE AND 5 YR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SHE WAS ALMOST RUN OVER. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK NISSAN HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TICKING TIME BOMB IN THEIR MURANOS. SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I'M LOOKING AT A $6400 REPAIR BILL BECAUSE IT IS 5000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE SIMPLY STOPS MOVING AND MUST BE TOWED. ALSO TOLD CANNOT FIX CVT, MUST BE REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW CVT, $6000. *TR

WE WENT OUT AND STARTED THE CAR ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT OF LAST WEEK AND A VERY LOUD VIBRATING SOUND COULD BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DUE TO THE TIGHT QUARTERS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND VERY COLD TEMPERATURES, I WAS NOT ABLE TO INVESTIGATE VERY MUCH. IT WAS OBVIOUS THE NOISE OCCURRED ONLY UNDER LOADS. NISSAN INVESTIGATED THE FOLLOWING DAY AND INFORMED US THE IDLER PULLEY BRACKET HAD A CRACK AND AS A RESULT IT TORE INTO THE BELTS. NISSAN STATED IT NEEDED TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THE BRACKET BEING CRACKED. BOTH THE BRACKET AND BELTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT ASAP ($400). THE CAR HAS AN EXISTING POWERTRAIN AND BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, NEITHER OF WHICH COVERED THIS. IN ADDITION, NISSAN SAID THIS HAPPENS ONCE AND AWHILE SO I LOOKED THE ISSUE UP ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS. IN ADDITION, IT APPEARS THIS FAIL RESULTS MORE OFTEN IN CARS THAT HAD THE ALTERNATOR RECALL REPAIRED AND IN DOING THAT REPAIR, THIS BRACKET IS EITHER DAMAGED OR TORQUED TOO TIGHTLY BACK IN PLACE. HAD THIS PIECE COMPLETELY BROKEN WHILE DRIVING, WE COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THESE BRACKETS CONSIDERING THEY CLAIM IT "DOES OCCUR", IT "CAN'T BE DRIVEN SAFELY" WITH IT BEING CRACKED. THERE IS NO REASON A BRACKET LIKE THIS SHOULD FAIL, ESPECIALLY AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS AND 36,000 MILES. *TR
