Engine surges at low speed and in cruise control at high speed
2015 Nissan Murano transmission complaints

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.
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.
Takata recall. When coming to a complete stop just under 20 miles per hour the transmission grabs and slows you down and then releases. This causes you to stop short or stop too far ahead. Either way can be dangerous. Please give us a recall. I don't feel safe
My 2015 nissan murano started having some transmission problems at around 20k miles. On low revs specially the transmission jerks and shudders. It's like it can't select the proper gear and it's a couple gears up from where it should be. The vibration is very annoying and potentially unsafe. I took the car to the dealer and they said that they could feel the problem, but that there are no lights in the dashboard. Suggested to keep driving the car until a service light shows up. I think this is unacceptable. I wan to sell my car now, but no one would buy a car that shakes on low revs.
The transfer case and axle seals on my 2015 nissan murano have been leaking and the dealer has had the vehicle three different times, within the last month and a half, for numerous days. There was 27,091 miles on it when I took it in on 11-08-17. The dealer has provided a rental each time. The three dates the vehicle went into the dealer are: 11-08-17, 12-02-17 and 12-19-17. I filed a case with nissan under case #29147756 and gave them a copy of the title showing that it was purchased through my family's business, burkins & foley. I will provide you with a copy if needed.
Cvt shudders at low speeds 20 - 40 MPH, the feeling is as if the gears are jamming and banging against each other; immediately releasing accelerator and pressing for harder acceleration temporary suppresses this behavior. Any inclines where car slows down and RPM falls can lead to reoccurrence of the same. Happens 2/3 times when these conditions described above happen. I believe the 'd'-step artificial shifter technology is going out of sync with rest of transmission rotation speed and causing the gears to grind during those d-step adjustments.
Vehicle hestiates - it jerks and shudders when accelerating normaly around 20 MPH, and also around 40 MPH. It feels like the transmission isn't shifting properly and causing abnormal vibration and instability while trying to accelerate normaly. The vehicle is in motion on city streets and urban highways when this happens. This has happened several times over the last couple of months - and as recently on sunday august 27, 2017.
Vehicle jerks and shutters at low rpms (approximately 15 to 30 miles per hour).
At 20k miles in our 2015 nissan murano, we experienced the car chugging at speeds under 15mph, turning a corner, accelerating from a stop. The chugging was followed by engine revving. This was followed 2 days later by complete failure while driving at highway speeds. The car would not accelerate at all. It had to be towed to the dealership. The service engine light came on after the engine failed. Nissan cannot determine a cause and is replacing the transmission
Difficulty with gear shift moving out of park into drive, neutral or reverse. Problem occurs with cold engine and warm engine, always from stationary position. Makes a low sounding clunk after finally moving into gear. Resistance of gear shift to move is not consistent but is frequent (about 7 out of every 10 driving events or 70% of the time) no fluid leakage under vehicle has been observed. Problem has existed with car within months of purchase as new vehicle.
Started about 1 1/2 weeks ago (approx 2900 miles on the odometer), first time wasnt expecting it and hoped it was just a fluke, 2nd time it happened early my daughters were with me and asked what was wrong with the car when it happened, and then again the other morning at the end of my 45 min ride into work. Each time it happened was when I was merging from an on ramp into traffic. The last occurance, and I believe the others as well, I was going approx 35mph, staying steady on the speed looking for a spot in traffic to merge into, giving it gas and started my merge only to feel and hear no change in RPM or speed, giving it more and more petal, and still no change in speed at all, after avoiding the other driver that almost hit me because of it, I moved back over and had a moment and tried again to get into the petal at almost wide open throttle and still no RPM change and no movement up in speed (also still no loss of speed), during each occurrence the car was smooth (no engine bucking just wouldn't respond to gas input). The same symptoms have occured the three times it's occured. The resolve each time was the same, let off the gas for 1-2 secs, give it gas and the car drove again as normal. Dealership has looked at my car with no explination, no trouble codes were generated, and they stated tranny fluid was fine. It acted like the CVT was stuck on a particular band and also wouldn't allow any additional gas, hence no additional speed. The last occurance it was about 35 degrees out. I have tried to reproduce the problem many times with no success at all, and with no codes being generated to point the dealefship to any issue, this is a big safety concern for me and my family as it goes unresolved.
When overriding intelligent cruise control to pass a car, occasionally the xtronic CVT transmission appears to go into neutral, RPM increases rapidly and car doesn't speed up. Most occasions have been traveling on incline. When transmission re-engages it jerks sometimes very hard. On one instance turned cruise control off and transmission re- engaged. Most occasions have been at speeds 60-65 MPH carried car to dealer could not warranty because it did not show up on computer.
