The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, she noticed an abnormal burning odor. The contact stated that the odor persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that coolant was leaking externally from the head gasket bank #1 and bank #2, and was entering the combustion chamber, causing damage to the engine and the CVT transmission. The dealer determined that the engine and the CVT transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a partial cost of the repair would be covered. The failure mileage was approximately 50,300.
2015 Nissan Murano transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car began shaking on acceleration and low speeds and wouldn't stop shaking until approx 40mph or above. Upon braking to take a right hand turn car died, just stopped accelerating even though all lights on and running. No response at all when pushing pedal to the floor. Would go in reverse but only very low speed. Replaced alternator. Seemed ok but 4 months later same exact problem happened and car is not drivable again.
I bought this Nissan Murano after the owner of Suncoast Quality Cars gives me the NADA - Consumers Report, which states the car was scored as an 82, in "Good Condition" with major repairs needed. After picking the Murano up 1-week after I made the purchase, when driven more than a couple of miles, you could feel the transmission slipping. While the owner of Suncoast said that his mechanic had done a full diagnostic test and had confirmed NADA's scoring, just to make sure I took it to Courtesy Nissan of Tampa and paid for their Certified Nissan Mechanics to do a full diagnostic test. Courtesy Nissan's Diagnostic test revealed that the transmission would need to be replaced, which while I did purchase a used car warranty from Suncoast, the car has been out of commission since roughly a week after receiving delivery from Suncoast. When I contacted [XXX] (Owner) by email on 4-separate occasions, from 2-separate email addresses, and text, he states he never received them. Given the owner's approach, and refusing to own up to his lies, or take any kind of responsibility here, I would like a full refund, as I would have never purchased the car, if I knew it had a major safety issue and would have to have the transmission replaced immediately after delivery, and I most certainly wouldn't have paid the price of a car that NADA stated was in "Good Condition", as the cost of the transmission is actually 65% of the price I paid for the car. With the transmission needing to be replaced, the same measuring tool (NADA) that Suncoast used to sell me the car, actually states the car is worth thousands-less. Attached, you will also find a copy of the results from the Certified Nissan Mechanic at Courtesy Nissan of Tampa.

Nissan's CVT transmission dies on highway at ODO=72K miles, a well known issue similar to other Nissan's models. I had to replaced the CVT transmission at $6K. Nissan should at least gives clear instruction that CVT transmission oil to be replaced at 30K mile in the owner manual. At least two Nissan's models had recalls due to the same CVT transmission failure. Why not include other models with the same issues to protect the consumers?
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.
The transfer case need to be replaced. I took my vehicle to the dealer a few months ago and they told me I had a leak but didn't know where it was coming from. I took it back to the dealer yesterday 12/16/22 and they told me where the leak is coming from. The cvt fluid is leaking from the lh axle seal. Murano owners have been complaining about this same issue. The dealership is charging me $712.59 for an issue that I didn't cause. The dealership need to fix this for free because this issued happened during the making of the vehicle and shouldn't fall on the buyer.
The transmission started going out going around a corner passing a semi on a canyon road. There are thousands of reports of transmission issues with this year and model. Brakes shake and act like they will not engage.
Light smoke coming from the exhaust became more over a couple days. Had to replace head gaskets.!!!$$$$ and sensors. Its a 2015 with 65k miles. I've noticed this is a problem with nissan Suv's lately which is sad. A friend of mine has a 2019 pathfinder and the same thing is happening to hers! I know things happen but this was a huge repair! And who has money for that.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently started stalling. The contact also stated she parked the vehicle momentarily and then started driving approximately 15 MPH, and the vehicle inadvertently stopped. The contact was unable to shift the vehicle to neutral(N). The contact and a friend were able to shift the vehicle to the drive(D). There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed back to the residence. The contact was notified by an independent mechanic of a power train Bulletin; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000. The contact stated that the issue occurred again in June. The vehicle was taken to a Nissan dealership to be diagnosed and the mechanic was unable to repeat the issue. The vehicle was also taken to Cochran West Hills for a service appointment. The alternator was replaced but the issue still occurred.
Transmission code P171F1 CVT Judder (C/V Inspection) at 93,000 miles. Took it to the dealership due to rough idling when stopped at stoplights. Nissan is recommending a full transmission replacement at a cost of over 6K. This code does not cause the check engine light to come on and unknowlingly could leave someone stranded in the middle of traffic. This car has never missed a scheduled service and has been meticulously cared for over the years and should not have this type of problem at this mileage.
The CVT translation is slipping and jerking at 1000 rpms. I took it Nissan and even though they increased the warranty on their cvt transmission, this one they do not want to cover,and don’t say why.
CVT transmission suddenly began sputtering on acceleration from a stop, which put me at risk of causing a collision, since it was not reliable to pull out into traffic. The dealership confirmed that the CVT transmission needed replaced (which it was at my expense). The problem first appeared in 11/2021 (got it fixed in 12/21) and no warning lights came on.
CVT transmission would struggle at low speeds, it would feel like it was jumping or getting caught on something. No check engine light or other error codes would display. Dealership insisted nothing was wrong. After 3rd check in 6 years, they finally got an error code and determined we needed a replacement.
Here is my experience: I purchased a 2015 Nissan Murano new in July 2015. My CVT transmission failed and was replaced under warranty by Nissan in June 2019 at 52,000 miles. Today 11-29-21, at 62,100 miles, my transmission failed again due to the transmission oil/cooler/radiator assembly failing to cause the cooling fluid and the transmission fluid to mix, resulting in having to replace the Transmission, Radiator, and associated assemblies for $6,600!
On several occasions while the car is being driven, the transmission goes into neutral by itself and stops responding to the throttle without any warning. This puts drivers at serious risk since the car while following its inertial movement must move to the side of the road or it could stop in the middle of the lane. According to the car's maintenance record, the transmission was replaced in 2017 however it failed again in 2021. The car was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and his recommendation was to repair the transmission at my own cost of $ 4000.
My check engine light came on. We hooked a snap on scanner to it. It said code P17F1. There is a recall but not when I enter my vin number.
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.
At about 47,000 miles on the vehicle, was driving at approximately 70 MPH and vehicle began to judder violently shaking rear of vehicle causing difficulty to control vehicle.
Car will hard start, check engine light on. Drive fine but after stopping or slowing down, traction control light comes on and rpms will not go over 3000. Car will not accelerate and have to pull over, turn off and restart.
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.
Cvt replacement required at 75k
There is a known issue with the transfer cases of these cars (see service bulletin ntb17-003). The axle seals on my car are leaking and can cause dangerous results for anyone operating the car. Nissan needs to recall and fix this known issue immediately.
These codes show up when maintenance on my car c 1130 ABS p1801 engine code booao airbag. P 17fl CVT. Transmission code .
Multiple transmission issues. Stuttering and jerking at low speed, especially on a slight grade going up. Loss of power from a stop. Slipping when going into gear then jerking. Shift points appear to be erratic. Probably came on slowly but only got to a dangerous or problematic point near the end of the warranty period. Noticed it badly when attempting to pull out into traffic and almost got side swiped.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan murano. While driving at low speeds there was an abnormal noise detected. The contact stated that there was also an abnormal shuddering when the vehicle was started. The vehicle was taken to van horn nissan of sheboygan located at 5515 racetrack rd, sheboygan, wi 53081, phone number; (920) 310-6816 to be diagnosed however, the prognosis was unknown . The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 39,000.
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.
The car was bucking at low speeds (10-20 MPH) and had a vibration at high speeds (70+). The dealership reported that the diagnostic code was p17f0 and they needed to replace the CVT subassembly and the rpl automatic CVT transaxle assembly and reprogram the a/t control unit.while doing that they discovered they needed to replace the front and rear seals on the leaking transfer case. This is very similar to a recall affecting the CVT on other nissan vehicles, but that recall did not cover this vehicle.
When accelerating from a stop or at low speed, transmission judders and causes the car to lunge and vibrate till it gets to a higher RPM. At a certain RPM, the car can simple lug repeatedly if the speed is held constant. The car stores an error code and the fix per the dealer is to rebuild the transmission. My vehicle has this issue at only 39,200 miles. While nissan created a service bulletin for this issue, and was repaired under warranty, a repair this major should be a recall because of how expensive it would be to repair out of warranty. Based on the repair order I was provided, this would've cost over $1,600 for parts alone, and the dealer needed to keep the car for a full week. Multiple anecdotal reports of this issue can be found at https://www.nissanmurano.org/threads/engine-CVT-horrible-skipping-and-lunging.186778/
Cvt transmission is a classic nissan failure. I have taken the car multiple times to my local nissan dealer. 1st time, they replaced a faulty valve body, 2nd time they reprogrammed the software, 3rd time they did a vibration software update. Still shudders in lower gears, still has a vibration while idle, but they claim that their technicians "can't feel it" or that they "can't get the car to duplicate". Ridiculous. They know the transmission is faulty and they don't want to foot the bill.
We purchased our 2015 nissan murano platinum on 1/10/2019. The vehicle has 36,106k. On 1/13/2019 we felt a slight judder with the vehicle. We again felt a judder on 1/15/2019, which was more severe. Although no service light was present, we immediately contacted the dealer and scheduled service for 1/16/2018. Upon completion of the service call, the dealer indicated that the valve body would need replaced, which is covered under warranty. I have read several complaints regarding this issue with nissan cvts. It is a clear danger to the consumer that if the CVT continues to judder an accident is likely. In addition, issues with the CVT can cause a complete failure of the vehicle, causing serious harm to the consumer. Cars will give a service light when an issue as trivial as tire pressure, low fuel and change engine oil occur. Why when a major mechanical issue is occurring is the car not alerting the operator of a potentially deadly consequence??!!
