2017 Nissan Murano

VEHICLE HAS 35,700 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE JUNE OF 2018 WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OR FASTER AND YOU GO AND TRY TO PASS SLOWER TRAFFIC WHETHER IT'S ON THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY AND YOU TURN THE WHEEL TO CHANGE LANES WHILE PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT AND SPEED UP. THE RPM GAUGE INCREASES AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. AFTER YOU STRAIGHTEN OUT THE STEERING WHEEL THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN DOWN SHIFTS AND TAKES OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO PASS CAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED AND IT LEAVES YOU TOOLING ALONG IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND I TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY TROUBLE CODES STORED IN THE VEHICLES SYSTEM. IT DOES THIS AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH AND NO TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS COME OF IT. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE INQUIRIES ABOUT THIS ONLINE TO NISSAN DIRECTLY AND VEHICLE MECHANIC TYPE SITES. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM NISSAN THEMSELVES BUT OTHER MECHANIC TYPE SITES HAVE COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, IT HAS TO BE THE A COMPUTER MODULE OR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM. SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MODULES THEMSELVES. NO TROUBLE CODES THEREFORE NOTHING IS WRONG, IS NISSAN'S STANCE. FOR WHAT I HAVE READ, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ANY HELP, WHICH SURPRISES ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU PULL OUT TO PASS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE IT IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU PULL INTO.THE LEFT LANE ON THE FREEWAY TO PASS AND CAN'T, IT IS DANGEROUS!

WHEN MAKING SHARP TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT) INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND DRIVING STRAIGHT AFTER THE TURN, WHILE PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARD, THE RPM WILL GO UP HIGH BUT THE SPEED WILL NOT (IT WILL INCREASE VERY SLOWLY). THE RPM WOULD STAY HIGH (5000 TO 6000) THERE WILL BE LOTS OF NOISE FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN BUT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO LOWER THE RPM. IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CVT WORK PROPERLY AFTER THAT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS TO BE FULLY RELEASED AND THE RPM WILL HAVE TO GO DOWN. I CAN REPLICATE THIS CONDITION MOST OF THE TIME (IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD ENOUGH WHILE TURNING), AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. AT THE DEALERSHIP GARAGE I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE IS NO FAULT CODE THEY CAN'T HELP AND REFUSED TO TAKE A RIDE IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE RPMS INCREASED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (GIRARD NISSAN, 425 GOLD STAR HWY, GROTON, CT 06340). THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED; HOWEVER, THE SOFTWARE MODULE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,800.

IN 9000 MILES, I'VE HAD THIS OCCUR 3 TIMES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING - STRAIGHTENING OUT, ACCELERATION WILL NOT KICK IN. I SEE THE RPMS GOING UP AS I AM HITTING THE GAS, BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT GETTING ANY POWER TO THE WHEELS - I WAS ACTUALLY SLOWING DOWN FROM MY TURN INERTIA. I HAD MY CAR UP TO 5000 RPMS, BUT I WAS STILL ONLY GOING ~25-35 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS IF I PULL INTO TRAFFIC. I HAD MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER SINCE THERE WERE NO CODES, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN TROUBLESHOOTING IF THERE ARE NO CODES. THE DATE LISTED IS APPROXIMATE.
