Cvt transmission failed with no warning during traffic on a bridge in New York 150 miles away. I was almost hit. Car would not go. Car had to be brought back by trailer. Cvt transmission had to be replaced. The CVT transmissions are a known problem and Nissan is doing nothing to fix it.

I just bought this car from a dealer in Michigan who gave me a 7-day drivetrain warranty. But as luck would have it, the CVT transmission went out on me in less than 1000 miles and a month later.

NOW, AUG 2020 AT 69K, CAR FEELS LIKE IT GOES OVER 'RUMBLE STRIPS' WHEN COMING OUT OF A TIGHT TURN (I.E. BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR PARKING SPOT). NISSAN NORTH CANNOT FIND OR FIX ISSUE. NO IDEA WHAT TO DO BUT FEEL SAFETY CAN BE COMPROMISED DUE TO VEHICLE HISTORY. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DID STATE I HAVE A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK. HE IS FURTHER INVESTIGATING ISSUE BUT NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE
Nissan North America (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Murano and Murano Cross Cabriolet vehicles. The power steering hose clamp may not adequately secure the hose, allowing the hose to detach and leak power steering fluid.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the power steering fluid leaks onto a heat source such as hot engine or exhaust components, there could be an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a power steering high pressure hose kit, free of charge. The recall began May 10, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
