2010 Nissan Murano

DRIVING THE OTHER DAY, I HAD TO MAKE A FAST STOP AND MY BRAKE PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I BARELY MISSED HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT A VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR 24 HOURS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC THEY RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

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.

I PURCHASED MY CAR, USED, FROM NISSAN OF CANTON (MICHIGAN), ON SEPT. 23, 2016 WHERE THERE WERE NO DISCLOSURES OF ANY SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO STRUCTURAL OR OTHER CONCERNS. ON MARCH 15, 2018, THE RIGHT REAR OF CAR MADE A METAL SNAPPING SOUND AND BEGAN DRIVING POORLY SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO FOUND "THE REAR FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT WHERE THE TORSION ARM MOUNTS TO THE CROSSMEMBER". I WAS TOLD THE SUB-FRAME SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION SUCH THAT, THE CAR NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT UP FOR SALE BY THE NISSAN DEALER IN 2016 AS THE ROT AND CORROSION OF THE FRAME IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT WHEN THE CAR IS ON A LIFT, THE CORROSION, ROT AND EXCESSIVE RUST IS EVIDENT AND SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MISSED BY THE MECHANIC THE NISSAN DEALER'S USED TO ENSURE THE CAR WAS SAFE TO SELL. I TWICE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION AND TO SEEK A SOLUTION. I SENT THE USED CAR MANAGER A PICTURE OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE THAT IS INCLUDED BELOW. THE DEALER SAID THE RUST MUST HAVE DEVELOPED SINCE I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR AND THAT THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE. I REJECTED THIS AND ASKED TO MEET WITH THE USE CAR SALES MANAGER ON MONDAY, MARCH 26, 2018 WHERE I WILL ASK THAT THE CAR BE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FULL REFUND AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR SOLD TO ME WITH SERIOUS FRAME DAMAGE, ROT, RUST AND CORROSION. I AM FEARFUL THE ROTTED FRAME WILL SNAP, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I OR OTHERS, MAY BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO RETRACT THE COMPLAINT DUE TO A MISUNDERSTANDING. *JS

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

PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL DRIVING THRU ICY ROADS. THE CAR SKIDDED FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT ALL OF THE TIME. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS PERMANENTLY ENGAGED. THE CAR IS STOPPING BUT THE BRAKES ARE VERY MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. IF SO, THIS MUST BE A DEFECT AS THE CAR SEEMS STUCK IN ABS MODE.
