2007 Nissan Murano: complete transmission failure

Filed Sep 3, 2021 · Electrical, Engine · VA

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.

The seat bracket broke. Really a seat bracket that breaks from fatigue of entering and leaving the vehicle?!? Safety concern sun visor no longer holds its position due to plastic that wears out. Safety issue. Transmission failure at just over 100,000 miles. Reports all over the web about this. So common, and so expensive. Major safety issue. Nissan has done nothing to address these issues that are so common with all of these models. It is not just me, there is report after report on the web. All the same issues.

My nissan murano has 122,000 miles on car and I have already spent a lot of money repairing CVT's, front end issues and had to purchase a new transmission. I was on the interstate and had to drive slow all the way to my home. No accident but nissan murano has a lot of issues with the front wheels and transmission.

As I was driving in traffic (approximately 35 MPH), I applied the brakes at the stoplight and there was a sudden loud sound coming from the engine. When I applied the gas, there was no power, but the engine continued to rev up. With cars flying by me, this was terrifying for me and my granddaughters. I took it to the dealership and they misdiagnosed the problem, twice. Over the next few weeks, my murano began to randomly skip/hesitate with standard RPM and extremely high RPM. The local nissan dealership had my car for over a month, saying they had replaced the transmission. The only problem is the "problem " is there, still there. Also there is no guarantee/warranty on warranted work. I now have nothing.and scared to drive my car that it will fail in traffic.

I own a 2008 nissan murano while attempting to drive after a light change my vehicle loss acceleration. Luckily, the car behind me didn't slam into me I was able safely get out of the way. The pedal was to the floor yet the car barley moved then it lurched forward and was fine. I took to a mechanic nothing a few weeks later after no issue it happen again on the highway which was dangerous and scary again I took this vehicle to a mechanic who said there was a leak at the transfer case I had repaired. Two days later after being stuck in the middle of an intersection the vehicle was diagnosed to be an issue with the CVT transmission. I was told this is a defect nissan is aware of, they then told me about the known manufacturer issue of the transmission and suggested I bring it to nissan and see if they could do anything for me. I took the vehicle over to the local nissan dealership and was informed that there was nothing that nissan could do but to slap in another transmission and that it would not be covered by warranty since I was over the extended 120,0000 miles. They did give me the option to have them throw in a new transmission at cost of $4000. I then called nissan north america consumer affairs no response. This is a known manufacturer defect and nissan refuses to acknowledge the issue. Research shows thousands of customers have the same issue; it is not a coincidence. It is a tactic played by nissan so they will not bare financial and reputation deterioration. Instead they are putting that on the paying consumer. Not right!!

I was driving down hwy 100 in milwaukee at approximately 40 MPH when the car suddenly died in the middle of the road, fortunately no accident was caused because of the sudden stop. The car would not start after this stop. I pushed the car into a nearby parking lot and took the battery into a local hardware store. The battery was dead and needed to be charged. I re installed the battery and got the car started (the engine sounded loud) and drove to the auto store and had the alternator tested - it was dead. I started to drive the car home and it would not go above 30 MPH and the cel was on. The next morning I had the alternator replaced (sunday), the battery kept it's charge. I took the vehicle to the nissan dealer on monday morning - they determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. I got my car back after 2 weeks and drove it home. I did notice that the there was a slight whine - I thought it was with the replaced transmission. I got louder each dayand I took it back to the nissan dealer, but the noise would quit after it warmed up. The nissan dealer determined that it was the high pressure power steering hose. These events appeared to be caused by a previous event - (1) alternator (2) transmission (3) high pressure power steering hose, all started november 27 2014, and lastly ended on february 10, 2015, hopefully.

As I was driving on the highway, the car either accelerated or decelerated even though I maintained steady pressure on the gas pedal. I did take it for repair at my local nissan dealership. Luckily, I had purchased the extended warranty and was still within the warranty time frame. My car was at the dealership repair shop for over 8 weeks. I was told that 2 new transmissions were placed in my car and then there was a problem with the wiring harness. Although it was "fixed" it has not driven quite the same. Now I am hearing a strange sound from my engine and think I'm in for another round of repairs. I am out of the warranty period and want to know if nissan corp. Has issued a recall.
