I took my vehicle to jack Ingram nissan on 1/26/2023 because the car started, jerking, stalling, shuddering, hesitating, and premature transmission failure. They told me at Jack Ingram nissan that my CVT transmission was bad. I just had the CVT transmission flushed in May 2022 and nothing was wrong wit my transmission then. My vehicle only has 90,200 miles on it so nothing should be wrong with the transmission. It has been reported that several complaints about the CVT Transmission in Nissan Muranos and several other nissan models go bad when the car does not have 100,000+ miles on them. Nissan dealers ships refuses to take the necessary steps and make the necessary repairs for this ongoing problem with there CVT Transmissions.

Took vehicle to nissan dealer for regular oil change (service light on). Vehicle had had a couple of hesitations somewhat like having water in the gas. This happen when after stopping and then taking off the hesitation occurred. Nissan checked and the transmission has to be replaced-only 46,000 miles on car? I do have an extended warranty, that I purchased when I bought the car. If nissan is having this problem with these transmissions, they should be automatically replacing them. The vehicle is currently at nissan dealer waiting for the new transmission.

Purchased the 2015 murano with 2200 miles from olympia nissan in olympia, wa. Did not get the extra warranty because we trusted nissan and the car was basically new. About two years after purchasing it, we could feel a slight hesitation when accelerating from low to higher speeds. It happened more when driving on city streets but also happened periodically on the freeway. My husband thought it might be the gas he was using. The missing continued and got progressively worse. He took his car in to nissan for all his oil changes and everything else that they suggested. He mentioned the problem but they could not find anything. This was brought up during the warranty period. I started driving the car recently after my husband passed away and it was quite obvious that the problem had gotten much worse. I took it to goodyear and had the ejectors cleaned and spark plugs replaced but this did not solve the problem. Goodyear offered to take it to nissan to be checked on their computer. They determined I needed a new transmission. This car is five years old with 75,000 miles! After researching the issue, I found that this has been an ongoing problem with nissan's CVT transmission. I am angry and frustrated. I have a car I am afraid to drive. I believe this should have been fixed through a recall or an extension of the original warranty. This has happened to many people. It's time for the issue to be resolved. My husband took the car to nissan faithfully for oil changes and anything else that came up. They never once mentioned a problem with the transmission.

Car hesitates when accelerating causing a danger when car does not go as expected when pulling into traffic. It also jerks and shudders at lower speeds, the car shakes somewhat violently and will stop if you floor the gas pedal. Bought the car brand new from dealer and have brought in for the issue to be told the computer doesn't see a problem. I drive the car daily I know there is an issue and it is dangerous to drive when it chooses not to go when accelerating. It has been a problem since I bought the car and have complained to the dealership numerous times.

Sluggish acceleration and shuddering at speeds below 35 MPH. I am not sure what is causing it but it almost acts like it could die. I release my foot from the gas pedal and then push it again to get the hesitation to stop and continue driving. This has happened more than 4 times since I bought the vehicle in april 2019.

At about 10,000 miles at low speeds on local city roads, I could sometimes feel vibrations and a lack of acceleration that felt like the transmission couldn't decide what to do. Always at speeds under 20 MPH and generally when either slowing down for an intersection or starting to speed up when the traffic light turned green in time that I didn't need to fully stop. After a few of these I took car to dealer and the first time they said there had been no error codes generated and to just keep driving it. After the second or third time I took it to the dealer, now with 12,839 miles on it they reprogrammed the steering angle adjustment and the problem seemed to go away. However, now at 21,000 miles, it seems to be coming back again. I feel like the CVT and computer have a problem communicating with each other in these low-speed situations. This hesitation in acceleration could cause a serious accident and certainly feels unsafe.
