2007 Nissan Murano

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN MURANO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AFTER A LIGHT CHANGE MY VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION. LUCKILY, THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T SLAM INTO ME I WAS ABLE SAFELY GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR YET THE CAR BARLEY MOVED THEN IT LURCHED FORWARD AND WAS FINE. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC NOTHING A FEW WEEKS LATER AFTER NO ISSUE IT HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS DANGEROUS AND SCARY AGAIN I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE TRANSFER CASE I HAD REPAIRED. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A DEFECT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, THEY THEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE KNOWN MANUFACTURER ISSUE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SUGGESTED I BRING IT TO NISSAN AND SEE IF THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NISSAN COULD DO BUT TO SLAP IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE I WAS OVER THE EXTENDED 120,0000 MILES. THEY DID GIVE ME THE OPTION TO HAVE THEM THROW IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $4000. I THEN CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. RESEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE; IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT IS A TACTIC PLAYED BY NISSAN SO THEY WILL NOT BARE FINANCIAL AND REPUTATION DETERIORATION. INSTEAD THEY ARE PUTTING THAT ON THE PAYING CONSUMER. NOT RIGHT!! *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 100 IN MILWAUKEE AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER THIS STOP. I PUSHED THE CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND TOOK THE BATTERY INTO A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND NEEDED TO BE CHARGED. I RE INSTALLED THE BATTERY AND GOT THE CAR STARTED (THE ENGINE SOUNDED LOUD) AND DROVE TO THE AUTO STORE AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR TESTED - IT WAS DEAD. I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH AND THE CEL WAS ON. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED (SUNDAY), THE BATTERY KEPT IT'S CHARGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER ON MONDAY MORNING - THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER 2 WEEKS AND DROVE IT HOME. I DID NOTICE THAT THE THERE WAS A SLIGHT WHINE - I THOUGHT IT WAS WITH THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION. I GOT LOUDER EACH DAYAND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER, BUT THE NOISE WOULD QUIT AFTER IT WARMED UP. THE NISSAN DEALER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE. THESE EVENTS APPEARED TO BE CAUSED BY A PREVIOUS EVENT - (1) ALTERNATOR (2) TRANSMISSION (3) HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE, ALL STARTED NOVEMBER 27 2014, AND LASTLY ENDED ON FEBRUARY 10, 2015, HOPEFULLY. *TR

STARTED MAKING A NOISE AS A FLAT TIRE, I PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IS THE TRANSFER CASE AND WANT $ 3,500 TO FIX IT, I RESEARCHED ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND LOTS, TOO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE, NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF THE BAD QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT AND ASSUME THE THEIR PART ON IT, OR PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS. THANK YOU *TR

KEPT NOTICING SMELL OF BURNING OIL. WAS TOLD THE AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING. AFTER THE 2ND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, THEY SAID IT WAS A TRANSFER CASE SEAL THAT WAS LEAKING AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT REPLACED AT APPROXIMATE COST OF $1500. AT THAT TIME I TOLD THE DEALER THAT DURING COLD WEATHER I HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION (WHICH HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120,000), AND I'M SURE THE TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED THE TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS, BUT, OF COURSE, UPON THE DEALER TESTING THE TRANSMISSION THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE LEAK WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAD TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT AS LONG AS THE FLUID LEVELS WERE CHECKED FREQUENTLY I COULD WAIT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. YESTERDAY (4 MONTHS LATER) I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AXLE SEAL AND THE TRANSFER CASE SEAL WERE BOTH LEAKING AND THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED DETAILING THAT THE TRANSFER CASE SHOULD BE REBUILT. THE COST NOW WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $1800, TO FIX THE SEALS AND REBUILD THE TRANSFER CASE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'VE REALIZED THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT NISSAN IS IGNORING THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE MURANO'S AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

DRIVING THE CAR WHEN HEARING BIG BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE HOOD FROM THE CAR SOUNDLY THE CAR BROKE DOWN TOWING IT IN TO THE DEALER SAYING THAT IT'S THE TRANSFER CASE THAT WENT WITH OUT ANY WARNING READING UP ON LINE SEEING THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WILL AL NISSAN THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I NOTICE THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AT A HIGHER SPEED WITH NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO BAY RIDGE NISSAN AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR $500, EVEN I THOUGH I HAVE AN EXISTING WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE A LOT OF NISSAN OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FIRST NOTICED IT KEPT POPPING OUT OF ALL WHEEL DRIVE IN A SNOW STORM WHILE DRIVING 15 MPR. NEXT ISSUE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65RPM THE SPEED KEPT DECELLERATING OR STICKING LIKE IT HAD A GOVANOR ON IT AT 65. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE IT FOR MORE THEN TWENTY MINUTES WITHOUT IT DECELLERATING. IT WON'T SHIFT JUST STICKS AT 3RPM AND THE SPEED WILL NOT INCREASE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. SECOND TIME THEY HOOKED IT UP TO CHECK ENGINE MACHINE. IT DID NOT THROW A CODE SO THEY SAID IT WAS SAFT TO DRIVE. COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IT STARTED BUCKING AND SPEED DECELLERATED VERY QUICKLY. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME BUT HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING NISSIAN TO REPLACE IT. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE. *TR

TRANSFER CASE LEAK ON 2007 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD, 3-4 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX IT. HEAT PRODUCED IN CVT IS CAUSING SEALANT IN THE TRANSFER CASE AND ULTIMATELY TRANSFER CASE TO BREAK. NISSAN EXTENDED THE CVT WARRANTY BUT REFUSE CVT IS CAUSING THE TRANSFER CASE TO BREAK AND WAS NOT COVERED MY CVY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR
