IllustrationJust noticed a loud bang sound from back and got it checked. Finally found out that the rear subframe has all rusted out which is very dangerous.

I had been hearing a humming noise in the car for some time. I was on the turnpike and the car just simply stopped moving forward. No matter how much gas I gave it, I could not move.
Loud whining , as if tranny will not go into next gear

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.
Driving within a few miles headed home from work my car began to loose power as if it wanted to die out on me. It struggled tremendously to gain RPM as if it wasn't getting any gas.

Driving within a few miles headed home from work my car began to loose power as if it wanted to die out on me. It struggled tremendously to gain RPM as if it wasn't getting any gas. I had reached a red traffic light and was afraid it would shut off while awaiting on light to turn green. It would not pick up speed and was shaking badly. Eventually my check engine light appeared but I was already arriving home thankfully. Sadly, upon doing my research of troubleshooting possible issues for Nissan Murano online I came across many issues regarding the transmission. Worse of it all, Nissan has been well informed of this ongoing issue. A class action was filed in 2016 but it appears that was a limited time. My issue has just begun regarding my transmission, so how does this help anyone who is just now dealing with this type of issue? Anyone else with recent similar issue your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Sunroof shattered while driving with no warning. Very dangerous for passengers and vehicles behind vehicle as the glass broke into countless pieces.

My driver's side sun visor is stuck in the downward position, which is constantly obstructing my view and is a safety hazard to myself as well as others around me. I raised this issue to my dealer and was told that although this is a common problem with my specific vehicle make and model there currently are no recalls on this. I was told that a plastic clip within the visor is known to break after normal wear and tear causing the visor to not function properly. If this is a known issue, it should be a recall before there are any injuries as a result of obstructed vision.
The front passenger seat occupant warning light was flashing. I took the vehicle to the Nissan dealership was charged $185 dollars and was told the front seat occupancy-classification sensor (OCS), needed to be replaced and it would cost me 0ver $5,900 dollars. The vehicle only has 22K miles.
