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.

I recently purchased this car used. After driving it for a little while, the car started shaking every time I would try to accelerate, but would get smooth once I got up to speed. After a few stop and go, the car decided to go into limp mode. I managed to get the car home safely, but barely. Now it drives smooth for a few minutes and then the extreme shaking returns. It only happens when the car is in drive, and stops after I shift it out. After doing some research online, I found that the transmission in the 07 nissan murano is notorious for failing. Nissan actually extended the warranty to 10 years/ 120,000 miles. But if you cannot get it fixed within that time your stuck, because they are so bad no transmission shop would work on them. Every forum related to muranos just rants about how bad the transmission is. Nissan should be responsible for putting faulty transmissions in so many vehicles, I am scared to imagine what would happen if it failed on the highway while at speed.

First noticed it kept popping out of all wheel drive in a snow storm while driving 15 mpr. Next issue was driving on the interstate at 65rpm the speed kept decellerating or sticking like it had a govanor on it at 65. Now I can not drive it for more then twenty minutes without it decellerating. It won't shift just sticks at 3rpm and the speed will not increase. Took it to the dealer three times. First time they said it was a bad battery. Second time they hooked it up to check engine machine. It did not throw a code so they said it was saft to drive. Coming down a mountain it started bucking and speed decellerated very quickly. Thankfully I was not hit from behind. Seems like a transmission problem to me but having a hard time getting nissian to replace it. Very scary and unsafe.
