Transmission failure. Car has been losing power, slowly getting worse with episodes of near stalling when stepping on gas from a stop. No engine warning lights . When pulling out in heavy traffic, car would nearly stall. Scary and dangerous. I finally took car to Nissan dealer where I purchased the car and they immediately diagnosed transmission failure. At that point, I had 143,209 miles after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
2011 murano stalls when starting from a stop. Goes into limp mode and is super dangerous when trying to turn left across traffic. Nissan extended warranties on 2010 for this exact issue but not the 2011. Dealership quoted me $5500 for a new transmission. The codes being pulled from the transmission are the same ones the LED nissan to 'extend' the warranty to 10 years and 120k miles. This car is extremely dangerous and should be pulled off the roads. I contacted consumer concerns for nissan and was told by a very rude representative named john - nothing they will do and refused to allow me to speak to someone else on this matter.
Vehicle began to show loss of power in 2019 while attempting to accelerate entering.a highway. Vehicle also would jerk when positioned from park to reverse. Vehicle would not accelerate when coming from a complete stop. Vehicle would not accelerate when attempting to give more power, asnif it was stalled I parked the vehicle due to the fear of causing an accident.and being seriously injured.
Vehicle has only 63,400 miles on it. Malfunction light came on and on the way to autozone to have code checked the car just stopped driving. I was stopped for a light and when I went to go nothing happened. Towed it to nissan and they said it needed a new transmission. (used) transmission installed and then the car stalled again during the test drive by mechanic. Now they say they have to replace the starter, which I did, so they can recheck the transmission. Got the car back and the very next day the same light came back on. I drove it straight to dealer and now they say that it needs catalytic converter. Replaced and now they say that it needs the front catalytic converter. Said there was a problem with the transmission seal when they got it. Probably what is causing all these other problems. Still have no idea when I will get the car back. It has been a month now. Have totally lost faith in nissan.
