2015 Nissan Murano

MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. STUTTERING AND JERKING AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY ON A SLIGHT GRADE GOING UP. LOSS OF POWER FROM A STOP. SLIPPING WHEN GOING INTO GEAR THEN JERKING. SHIFT POINTS APPEAR TO BE ERRATIC. PROBABLY CAME ON SLOWLY BUT ONLY GOT TO A DANGEROUS OR PROBLEMATIC POINT NEAR THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NOTICED IT BADLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT SIDE SWIPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE DETECTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO AN ABNORMAL SHUDDERING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VAN HORN NISSAN OF SHEBOYGAN LOCATED AT 5515 RACETRACK RD, SHEBOYGAN, WI 53081, PHONE NUMBER; (920) 310-6816 TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE PROGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN . THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING CAUSING A DANGER WHEN CAR DOES NOT GO AS EXPECTED WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT ALSO JERKS AND SHUDDERS AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE CAR SHAKES SOMEWHAT VIOLENTLY AND WILL STOP IF YOU FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM DEALER AND HAVE BROUGHT IN FOR THE ISSUE TO BE TOLD THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SEE A PROBLEM. I DRIVE THE CAR DAILY I KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN IT CHOOSES NOT TO GO WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES.

THE CAR WAS BUCKING AT LOW SPEEDS (10-20 MPH) AND HAD A VIBRATION AT HIGH SPEEDS (70+). THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE WAS P17F0 AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CVT SUBASSEMBLY AND THE RPL AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY AND REPROGRAM THE A/T CONTROL UNIT.WHILE DOING THAT THEY DISCOVERED THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR SEALS ON THE LEAKING TRANSFER CASE. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL AFFECTING THE CVT ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, BUT THAT RECALL DID NOT COVER THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEED, TRANSMISSION JUDDERS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LUNGE AND VIBRATE TILL IT GETS TO A HIGHER RPM. AT A CERTAIN RPM, THE CAR CAN SIMPLE LUG REPEATEDLY IF THE SPEED IS HELD CONSTANT. THE CAR STORES AN ERROR CODE AND THE FIX PER THE DEALER IS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE AT ONLY 39,200 MILES. WHILE NISSAN CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, A REPAIR THIS MAJOR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY. BASED ON THE REPAIR ORDER I WAS PROVIDED, THIS WOULD'VE COST OVER $1,600 FOR PARTS ALONE, AND THE DEALER NEEDED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A FULL WEEK. MULTIPLE ANECDOTAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.NISSANMURANO.ORG/THREADS/ENGINE-CVT-HORRIBLE-SKIPPING-AND-LUNGING.186778/

CVT TRANSMISSION IS A CLASSIC NISSAN FAILURE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. 1ST TIME, THEY REPLACED A FAULTY VALVE BODY, 2ND TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE SOFTWARE, 3RD TIME THEY DID A VIBRATION SOFTWARE UPDATE. STILL SHUDDERS IN LOWER GEARS, STILL HAS A VIBRATION WHILE IDLE, BUT THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR TECHNICIANS "CAN'T FEEL IT" OR THAT THEY "CAN'T GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE". RIDICULOUS. THEY KNOW THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FOOT THE BILL.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2015 NISSAN MURANO PLATINUM ON 1/10/2019. THE VEHICLE HAS 36,106K. ON 1/13/2019 WE FELT A SLIGHT JUDDER WITH THE VEHICLE. WE AGAIN FELT A JUDDER ON 1/15/2019, WHICH WAS MORE SEVERE. ALTHOUGH NO SERVICE LIGHT WAS PRESENT, WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SCHEDULED SERVICE FOR 1/16/2018. UPON COMPLETION OF THE SERVICE CALL, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VALVE BODY WOULD NEED REPLACED, WHICH IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVTS. IT IS A CLEAR DANGER TO THE CONSUMER THAT IF THE CVT CONTINUES TO JUDDER AN ACCIDENT IS LIKELY. IN ADDITION, ISSUES WITH THE CVT CAN CAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS HARM TO THE CONSUMER. CARS WILL GIVE A SERVICE LIGHT WHEN AN ISSUE AS TRIVIAL AS TIRE PRESSURE, LOW FUEL AND CHANGE ENGINE OIL OCCUR. WHY WHEN A MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUE IS OCCURRING IS THE CAR NOT ALERTING THE OPERATOR OF A POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCE??!!
