2006 Nissan Murano Powertrain & Transmission Problems

this is the second transmission i have put in this.. these cvt's are complete garbage and nissan is aware of it. Stand behind your product for once and replace this transmission on your dime. Will drive perfect sometimes and then randomly 3k-5k rpms and wont shift. sometimes i can shut it off and restart it and it will work fine again. sometimes it wont and i have to drive around with excessively high rpms. Also what is this annoying air suction noise i hear under throttle, sounds like an intake or blow off valve. there are zero vaccum leaks,

HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $5012.91 AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES JUST LIKE AN OFF-THE-SHELF CAR PART.

CODES P1778 (SEP MOTOR FUNCTION) AND P00845 (TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE) FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN RESEARCHING THESE, I FOUND MANY COMPLAINT TRAILS CONCERNING THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND VARIOUS RELATED CODES. NISSAN'S ANSWER IS ALWAYS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT HIGH COSTS TO OWNER. MINE CONTINUES TO RUN BUT IN A KIND OF CRIPPLED MODE CALLED "SAFE MODE" THAT IS AN ATTEMPT TO REDUCE MAJOR TRANSMISSION DAMAGES. CODES OCCURRED DURING DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS UNDER 45 MPH. VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER BE USED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS THE "SAFE MODE" LIMITS RPM AND SPEED.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WANT RESET, AIRBAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED IN MY POSSESSION, I RECEIVED INFO THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SAID MODEL. REQUEST MORE INFO.

TRANSFER CASE CRACKED IN HALF , LEAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY JERKED WHILE SWITCHING GEARS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RAN HOT PRIOR TO EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V169000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

NISSAN HAS REPLACED THREE TRANSMISSIONS IN OUR CAR AND NOW THE FOURTH ONE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THEY ARE TELLING US TO BAD AND THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE WE TRAVEL DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR RACKS OUT WE HAVE TO PULL IT OVER WAIT FOR A BIT AND RESTART IT THEN IT WILL RUN NISSAN TOLD US THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS NEW AND IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE OTHER TRANSMISSIONS WERE DOING NISSAN SAYS THEY ONLY WARRANTY THIS TRANSMISSION FOR 12000 MILES THIS HAS ABOUT 25000 ON IT THIS IS SO DANGEROUS WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS I'VE BEEN TOLD A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THANK YOU

IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HAD THE CAT FLUID FLUSHED/REPLACED AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THERE WOULD BE A SMELL OF BURNING LIQUID FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. USUALLY THE SMELL IS STRONGER WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM MOVING

CVT NEEDS REPLACEMENT! TIME TO STAND BY NISSAN PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS. CODES ARE ALL TRANSMISSION RELATED, P0774, P0840, P0845, P1778. VIN [XXX]. THEY ARE HIDING BEHIND 10 YR OR 120,000 MILE WALL. 06 MURANO HAS 94,000 MILES. BEING PUNISHED FOR DRIVING LESS THAN 8,000 MILES PER YEAR. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, IT IS A "DO NOT DRIVE" SITUATION. PUBLIC BOARDS ARE FULL OF CVT FAILURES AND NISSAN DODGING ITS CUSTOMERS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN I FIRST START TO DRIVE (CANNOT GO OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR.) AFTER WARMING UP IT STARTS TO RESPOND. WHEN DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SLIP AND THE CAR LAGS/LUNGES. NISSAN REPAIR CANNOT GET AN "ERROR CODE" FROM THEIR MACHINE WHEN TESTING BUT ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE THE CAR UNTIL IT CODES. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE.

JATCO CVT, A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN. IT BURNS AND LEAKS OIL PUTTING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT RISK OF FAILURE.

TRANSMITION WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS. ACCORDING TO NISSAN DEALER VEHICLE NEEDS TRANSIMITION REPLACED. NISSAN CORP. WILL NOT ADMIT PROBLEM. THEY CLAIM IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE TRANSMITION AT MY EXPENSE.

*** DRIVER SEAT BOLT BROKEN AND UNSTABLE *** TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDLE MOVES UP TOWARD "OVERHEAT" WHEN CRUISING AT 50MPH *** TRANSMISSION STALLED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 60K MILES {ODOMETER READING]

DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BIG BANG. THOUGHT MY TIRE BLEW OUT. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A CONTINUOUS FLAPPING SOUND. AT ONE POINT IT MADE MY TRANSMISSION SHIFT, TO THE POINT THAT IT MADE THE CAR JUMP LIKE IF I GOT HIT MY A CAR IN THE REAR. HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY TRANSFER CASE. *TR

I AM ADDING TO A GROWING COMPLAINT WITH IN NISSAN MURANO OWNERS THAT MY TRANSFER CASE NOW NEEDS REPAIRS (THE SEALS ARE LEAKING) AT 92000 MILES. LUCKILY I AM NOT EXPERIENCING POWER FAILURES. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED AT $2000. I AM DEMANDING A RECALL AND FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE PART WITH A TEST QUALITY PART FOR MY SAFETY AN ALL THOSE DRIVING NISSAN MURANO'S. *TR

DURING MY DRIVE WHILE EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JUMPED/SPED UP ON ITS OWN AS IF I ACCELERATED. FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP. WHILE APPROACHING MY EXIT, CAR JUST DIED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAZARD FLASHERS. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, AND IT JUST CRANKED. I WAITED APPROX. TEN MINUTES AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE SLOWLY UNTIL THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. EXPERIENCED SOME HESITATION ALONG THE DRIVE HOME AND WITH NO WARNING, JUST A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING, THE CAR DIED AGAIN. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND THEN HAD LOSS OF POWER. TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY AND CVT ARE DAMAGED. *TR

I'VE HAD A PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED MANY TIMES BY FELLOW MURANO OWNERS. AFTER DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING WAY DOWN FOR TRAFFIC OR WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY THE THROTTLE BECOMES VERY UNRESPONSIVE. IT LAGS AND THEN SURGES. THIS PROBLEM WAS APPARENT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO OCCURS OCCASIONALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC, WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP NEAR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. (FAIL SAFE MODE?) RECYCLING THE IGNITION FIXES THE PROBLEM, AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER, BUT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT SERVICES MY CAR HAS NOT INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE DETECTED ANY PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS ARE BEGINNING TO GIVE OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY SONS SCHOOL IN AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND THE CAR WAS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 10 MILES AN HOUR IN A 45 ZONE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE INTO SAFE HAVEN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR NISSAN AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF SOMEONE WHO IS LESS EXPERIENCED OR IN AN EVEN MORE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO THEM! *TR

I TRIED TO PARK MY CAR IN A PARKING. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK; IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN NEUTRAL GEAR. AS A RESULT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE I HAD TO DRIVE OVER A MEDIAN TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE ENDEMIC WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHY HAVE YOU NOT ORDERED NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL? *TR
