TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION WAS FELT, AND THE BRAKING WAS UNSTABLE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING. THE DEALER (GRANITE NISSAN, 2626 E MALL DR, RAPID CITY, SD 57701, (605) 342-3400) TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

MY CAR THAT HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT HAS HAD TO HAVE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, THE LEATHER SEATS HAVE TEARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR SEAT, THE WINDSHIELD HAS OVER A DOZEN CHIPS IN IT AND MOST RECENTLY, WHEN DRIVING, MY GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY ALTHOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP LESS THAN 16 HOURS EARLIER AND HAD NOT DONE ANY DRIVING. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE GAUGE RESET ITSELF. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'M WAITING FOR THE NEXT MAJOR THING TO HAPPEN.

CVT SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEEDS 20 - 40 MPH, THE FEELING IS AS IF THE GEARS ARE JAMMING AND BANGING AGAINST EACH OTHER; IMMEDIATELY RELEASING ACCELERATOR AND PRESSING FOR HARDER ACCELERATION TEMPORARY SUPPRESSES THIS BEHAVIOR. ANY INCLINES WHERE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND RPM FALLS CAN LEAD TO REOCCURRENCE OF THE SAME. HAPPENS 2/3 TIMES WHEN THESE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THE 'D'-STEP ARTIFICIAL SHIFTER TECHNOLOGY IS GOING OUT OF SYNC WITH REST OF TRANSMISSION ROTATION SPEED AND CAUSING THE GEARS TO GRIND DURING THOSE D-STEP ADJUSTMENTS.

AT 20K MILES IN OUR 2015 NISSAN MURANO, WE EXPERIENCED THE CAR CHUGGING AT SPEEDS UNDER 15MPH, TURNING A CORNER, ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE CHUGGING WAS FOLLOWED BY ENGINE REVVING. THIS WAS FOLLOWED 2 DAYS LATER BY COMPLETE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ENGINE FAILED. NISSAN CANNOT DETERMINE A CAUSE AND IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION
