2004 Nissan Murano transmission problems

Filed Jul 8, 2020 · Driver assistance, Suspension · GA

My 2004 nissan murano jerks to the left side as you give it gas and driving. It just jerks on it's own and heads in the direction of anything or object that's on the passenger side. I had a broken motor mount and told that was all it was and by replacing it that it would stop doing the jerking. I changed the motor mount, which needed replaced anyway, but it didn't correct the problem. This is very dangerous as it can put you into another car, ditch, tree, etc.. I've sent this problem in before and I've had no response. This issue needs to be addressed!!! I have 2 small children in my car alot of the time and it's too dangerous to even put their lives, my life, and other cars in the way of this hazard. I could kill multiple innocent people by driving my car. I purchased this car used about a year ago and the problem has only gotten worse. I've checked for recalls and there's not a recall for this previous cause. It does it all the time on any road. Can you please look into this situation for me? It has done this since I purchased the car

When taking off from a complete stop or trying to acclerate the revs to 3000 RPM and not gain any speed, you have push and let off the accelerator several times just to maintain any kind of forward momentum the car can muster. I dont know why the car will not gain any speed. This could be a real safety issue on a busy roadway.I have read many other post about similiar issue like mine and it sounds like the CVT are very unreliable and nissan should do the right thing for us car owners, the car only has 91000 miles on it and this issue should not be ocurring in so many vehicles. Their should be something done about this issue to help the owners out. Nissan knows that there CVT transmission are very faulty and will not hold up....

The vehicle would not accelerate after it had come to a complete stop on highway. After getting out of my vehicle and pushing it to the side, the vehicle finally drove away. But after this the vehicle has had a transmission rattle in which none of my (4) mechanics can seem to fix. Failure at 100,110k miles. Glad nissan is making money while we suffer.

My nissan murano sl had 35k miles when purchased. Complained 5 times to the dealership about groaning noise and major oil leak. Major vibrations occurred while driving and pulled over so I couldn't drive anymore. Burning smell of oil that was leaking for months and was not noticed by certified mechanics. Also bucking motions. Towed murano for repair and later diagnosed as transfer case and tail shaft destroyed. The CVT transmission needed slight repairs too with transfer case. Cost ~$3500

I'm having problems with my CVT transmission, when I press on the gas pedal it hesitate to go I went to a mechanic and they say it was the CVT. I researched the problem and see owners having the same problem, I'm just wondering why this isn't a recall. This vehicle always get maintenance.

Transmission failed without warning at 68k miles. While on highway engine just started free reving. Had to coast to side of road. Nissan will not assist in repair as car is over 10 years old. Dealer worked on transfer case in may; thought they reported all was well.

2004 murano would not excel at stop signs/red lights or low speeds. Tested by nissan dealership, codes show transmission going out. Love my clean, looks like new murano even at it's age and 136,000 miles. Owned nissan's since late 80's. Nissan corp. Will not help with repair. So not fair. Nissan knows their product was inferior. Being forced to purchase a new vehicle. Repairs almost as much as vehicle's value. I loved my murano so much I talked them up to friends/family so they purchased nissan's. Opposite opinion now!!! Goodbye nissan!!!!! You have hurt me financially so I hope to do the same!!!!!
