2014 Nissan Murano

Problems with Nissan Murano CVT transmission - Transmission slips with loss of power/acceleration while in traffic, then jerks or lurches forward. No codes (DTC) registered for the symptoms. Dangerous for myself and other drivers as this occurs without warning. Fortunate not to end up in an accident. Nissan manuals do not recommend precautions or service for this. Now faced with all repair costs.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TISCHER ACURA (3506 LAUREL FORT MEADE ROAD, LAUREL, MD 20724) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT RUST WAS INSIDE THE FUEL INJECTION LINE ALONG WITH A ROCK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 186,000.

I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TO TURN INTO THE PARKING SPACE AT THE RESTAURANT AND THE TRUCK JERKED FORWARD. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PAD AND QUICKLY NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. I SAID OUT LOUD, ITS NOT STOPPING! THE PASSENGER IN MY TRUCK THEN LEANED OVER AND NOTICED THAT MY FOOT WAS IN FACT ON THE BREAK PAD. I MADE THE STATEMENT AGAIN, ITS NOT STOPPING! THE TRUCK ROLLED OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK AND PROCEEDED INTO THE BUILDING. I WAS PUMPING THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AT THIS POINT. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE ACCELERATING AS I WAS PUMPING THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I YELLED UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I REMEMBERED YELLING OUT LOUDIT WOULDNT STOP.OOOO GOD.IT WOULDNT STOPWHY DIDNT IT STOP!

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR ACCELERATED. THE CAR HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO GO OVER THE CEMENT PARKING BLOCK AND HIT THE VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT. TRYING TO AVOID THAT VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT AND OTHER VEHICLES WERE HIT. THE CAR THEN STOPPED. ALL THE TIME THE FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO REVERSE AND BACKED UP TO CLEAR THE VEHICLES. *TR
