Hello, i would like to report a problem. Didnt really see anything about transmission on the choices listed above. Well i got this car used from someone. Didnt really noticed the transmission problem until i was driving it for a while on the freeway. The transmission is just so bad . It is stuck on 3rd gear all the way. At high speeds. So imagine, the engine is whining so bad. The car basically wants to give up now. Still starts, revers, goes foward with no problem. Shifting is the problem. Also, ive checked the transmission fluid. Its still at a perfect level. Yes, it has roughly 129,000 miles on it. But really? This car should be lasting longer. Please. I really dont want to pay out of pocket for a whole new transmission. Theres got to be a way or something you guys could do to help me and my family.
On march 14th, I purchased a 2007 nissan murano from a private owner. I was told the throttle bottle needed to be replaced. After replacing the throttle bottle the murano felt like it lost all power when I accelerated but the vehicle was still on. Contacted the seller and he said they've never had any transmission issues or anything. I followed up with getting the spark plugs changed, transmission fuel and filter changed, a brand new battery and an oil change. This worked for about a month up until early april of 2021. The vehicle now seems as though it's in limo mode. No mechanic wants to work on it and I feel completely cheated and at a total loss. Vadden nissan constantly has an excuse not to work on my vehicle and at this point, it's just very frustrating. I've spend thousand of dollars on this vehicle only for me to still be at square one. I'm also afraid for my safety being in traffic and having to turn on my safety hazard lights. The vehicle will drive normal if I restart it but goes right back into limp mode.
Just purchased vehicle in november took it to mechanics because I kept getting shocked by the seat they stated the engine had been on fire with previous owner and I should check for and recall since the dealership is not willing to assist now that vehicle is completely non functional
