2010 Nissan Murano

VEHICLE LOSES POWER, INCONSISTENTLY, WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT, LEADING TO NEAR-REAREND COLLISION, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING DURING THESE OCCASIONS, AND AFTER PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR IT "KICKS BACK INTO FOWARD GEAR. NOW I AM GETTING CODE P1778 (WAS NOT GETTING THIS CODE FOR A LONG TIME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MANIFESTING THIS LOSS OF POWER).

TOOK SUV TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE - TOLD I COULD NOT DRIVE CAR BECAUSE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FAIL AND SEALS WERE LEAKING. SUV ONLY SERVICED AT DEALER AND ONLY HAS 64,535 MILES. NISSAN WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION, BUT SAID I MUST PAY $4,000 FOR SEALS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. RESEARCHED ON WEB AND SEE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITH NISSAN. SUV SHOWED NO SYMPTOMS AND WAS DRIVING FINE - DEALER SAID IT WOULD FAIL WITHOUT MUCH WARNING RESULTING IN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE SUV. I HAD TO RENT CAR AND APPROVE WORK ON SUV.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEGLUE NISSAN (6400 COLISEUM BLVD, ALEXANDRIA, LA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000. *TT*JB

AT 65,000 MILES MY MURANO REQUIRED THE CVT TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSFER CASE, THE RT FRONT AXEL (AND HEAD GASKETS) TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE MURANO HAS 150,000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN! THIS WILL BE THE THIRD CVT TRANSMISSION IN 150,000 MILES AND OF COURSE THE NISSAN 120,000 MILE WARRANTY WHICH STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW NO LONGER COVERS THE CVT TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE CURRENT UNIT ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES OF USE. WHY HASN'T NISSAN BEEN FORCED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION? (I ALSO HAVE A 2013 VERSA WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 65,000 MILES). BAD DESIGN THAT IS PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF INJURY WHEN THE CTV TRANSMISSIONS FAIL AND DESTROY OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. CURRENT PROBLEM: WHEN AT A FULL STOP THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE GAS CAN GO TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN LAST FROM LESS THAN A SECOND TO SEVERAL MINUTES. A SHUT DOWN AND RESTART OF THE CAR MAY BE NEEDED TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON LARGE ROADS IN THE NORTHERN VA TRAFFIC. NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BLOCKING MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC IN NORTHERN VA IS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE.

KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 2010 MURANO CVT AND TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. CVT / TRANSFER CASE FAILED AT 96,000 AND THEY KNOW ABOUT HIS CONSTANT PROBLEM AND DO NOTHING. TRYING TO DEAL WITH NISSAN HAS BEEN A DISASTER AND NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME ABOUT PAYING FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. BOTH SWAY BARS BROKE BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION AND SHAKING FROM THE CV SHAFT

THE CAR IS LOSING POWER AT RANDOM TIMES THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL LURCH FORWARD AT FULL POWER. THIS HAS CAUSE ME TO ALMOST GET INTO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER HAS ADI THAT SINCE THERE ISNT A CODE COMING UP THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING. IVE READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THAT ITS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT THAT NISSAN WONT ISSUE A RECALL.
