Nissan murano CVT transmission causes delayed acceleration. After 65,000 miles the vehicle did not immediately respond when the accelerator was pushed. It would inch forward then surge. At one time I barely avoided a major accident when merging into traffic and the engine did not respond to the accelerator; then suddenly shot forward a couple seconds later almost causing a collision from the delay. When I took it in they said I needed a new transmission; but I noted that there was not a rise in RPM's when it did not accelerate as would be the case if it was slipping. When I asked about that they said it was probably the solenoid switch that keeps the engine from revving when there is a transmission problem. After checking on the internet I found web sites with many people reporting the same problem. Many said they found it was the switch getting dirty and then shutting down the rpms. I tried a transmission fluid change and it solved the problem for about 30,000 miles then starting doing it again. I changed again and it is once again resolved. Besides the fact that nissan has a manufacturing issue here this problem is very dangerous. When you step down on the gas and there is a delay it causes you to divert your attention from driving; typically you automatically pump the gas again. Then the sudden surge forward is unexpected and may put you in a place you did not now (after the delay) want to be; especially if merging into traffic.

2004 murano sl awd with only 29,000 miles when the vehicle was started the service engine soon light, slip light, and vdc light came on and stayed on. Upon pushing the gas pedal, it took a couple seconds for any acceleration to occur. After getting on the highway and pressing the gas pedal again, the acceleration was delayed and would only go up to about 40 MPH, but the rpms were extremely high. Every time I try to take off from a stop, it takes awhile for any acceleration to occur. Feels like the transmission is slipping. Vehicle had to be towed and I had to pay for it. Now I'm being told that even with only 29,000 miles, it's not covered under warranty.

I have a 2004 nissan murano. The power drivers seat will only move on the left side and the right side is stuck. Upon taking it to the dealer, I was informed the gear on the right side was stripped, and it would be $1,000 + to fix this. I had the vehicle in multiple times under warranty for the seat slipping when I took-off from a stop sign, and was told it was operating as designed. I am concerned that in an accident this seat is not going to remain in place and it will result in major injuries.
