Nissan Murano misfire problems

Filed Feb 20, 2024 · Transmission · MO

I bought a Murano on 3/31/2016 with 17,000 miles on it. I now have 58,000 miles on it & dealership says I need a new transmission.I had no idea that there was a CVT transmission when i bought it. It was never explained or disclosed about the class action lawsuit with these transmissions. I understand these defective transmissions can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicles when it stuttering & jerking at low speeds. My car has been doing this at about 20,000 miles. I have had every recommended service done on the car, including the 30,000 miles transmission maintenance. There have been 2 Disturbance Alerts with 2 issues that come up on a app on my phone stating 2 Issues Critical. 1. Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected/Code P0302 & 2.Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected/Code P0300. I told the dealership about these issues but they could never find anything wrong with the car.

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.

My check engine light came on a few weeks ago saying cylinder five is miss firing. I replaced everything that I could and cylinders are still misfiring. It's causing my car to jerk and when I'm at a complete stop and start to go it takes my car a minute or so to start going. And also when I put my car into sports mode it does not shift

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 nissan murano. While at a stop light, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The failure recurred when the vehicle was on an incline. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was a misfire, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v169000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 210,000.

Driver's seat - the bracket in the rear left that supports the seat broke while driving. Air bags - the air bag light is on and will not go away. When I purchased the vehicle in feb. 2016, the dealer assured me it was just a glitch in the display. Engine - started running rough about a week ago, while we were headed out of town. Cancelled that trip. Threw a "cylinder 3 misfire" code. My husband replaced that plug and coil and it continued to run rough. Today, it overheated and started dumping fluid on the ground. The suspension is also failing. When we hit a bump or pothole, it feels like the front end is going to fall off. I loved this car when we bought it and when it runs right, but right now, I am completely disgusted. I have only owned it for two months. I feel like we were robbed and we aren't in the financial standing to replace it.

While driving on four lane blvd the engine sudden cut off at a major intersection. I was lucky not to be hit by truck behind me, I had no prior warning no engine light, rough idle etc. The 2007 nissan murano sudden engine cut off need to be investigate because this could have been a fatality.

I was driving in traffic and I felt a weird vibration and the vehicle felt as if it was surging forward. Felt like a misfire so I drove it home and replaced the spark plugs. I then test drove it with new spark plugs and the problem was the same. I take it to my mechanic is he advises that the CVT and or transfer case assembly is the problem. I then go online to research it and find tons of stories of all the same problem. The vehicle is now stuck in my garage because I am scared to drive it and get into an accident. When I turn the wheel the vehicle doesn't want to move forward , almost like a slipping clutch , and then it will make a loud pop and jerk forward. I am having it towed to nissan dealership after holiday and after researching I already know they are not going to cover it and try to stick me with a 5-6k dollar bill. Its not the consumer's fault nissan has a defective CVT system and doesn't want to recall it due to the expensive repair bill. I guess once this failure causes someone to die from an accident like the incident with toyota and their accelerator maybe then they will have to recall their murano's CVT system.

1: after driving the car for along period of time in stop and go traffic or on the thruway. Then coming to a complete stop and pressing the gas the car will crawl forward as if you were not pressing down the gas pedal after 1-3 sec of the car crawling into the middle of a intersect and no way to get it out of the intersect when other cars are coming down at 40mph into the intersection; will be disastrous and potentially cause a lost of life. After 1-3 sec the transmission will finally engage. The funny part is when you turn the car off and restart it the problem clears it self until it problem recurs. After reading other stories of there's CVT transmission in the murano doing the same thing to the other murano customer. I decided to take it to the dealer 2: this is a sporadic event and every time I took it to the dealer to get it check they could not duplicate the problem on march 9th and told me the transmission performed normal and it was engine [misfiring and slightly burning oil and compression lost related not transmission [I have enough automotive skill to tell me that this is definitely not a misfire/slightly burning oil/compression lost because once you turn the car off and turn it back on the problem disappears, witha engine misfire it would still persist, the engine is 100% running without any problem until this problem arise: so yesterday, when it started happening to my wife on her drive, I advise her to stop immediately at the dealer to have them take a look at I, to my surprise they refused!!! To take a 2nd look at it as they advise me they already diagnostic it as a engine problem and will not. I called them and demanded that a service tech, test drive it and he said nope this is a engine problem and told my wife to tell me that im making all the service department mad?!. I took it to 2 other transmission place and they verified that this is 100% indeed a transmission problem.
