2011 Nissan Murano

TOOK VEHICLE INTO NISSAN OF SILSBEE WHERE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FOR SERVICE -- SERVICE PERSON CAME TO ME AND SAID THAT SHE HAD BAD NEWS -- VEHICLE HAD A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK. FIRST TIME EVER, I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE TRANSMISSION CONCERN TO HAVE THEM GIVE ME A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THEY PULLED THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THAT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS WEREN'T UP TO DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY SILSBEE NISSAN AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. COST TO ME FOR REPAIRS WERE $5,716 WITH 90,000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. MATTER OF FACT I JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICED ON JULY 13,2018, AT NALLEY NISSAN OF ATLANTA AND THE MIL-POINT INSPECTION WHICH INCLUDES CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION PASS ALL SYSTEMS IN THE GREEN. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION IN 6 YEARS AND ONLY 122000 MILES.

WITH ONLY 91000 MILES, MY 2011 MURANO IS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS UP TO 2010 WERE ALL EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS/120000 MILES WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THAT WAS ENDED FOR THE 2011 YEAR AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE DEFECTS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME CLOSE TO $5000 WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE VEHICLE CAN STOP BUT WITH A FRACTION OF THE BRAKING ABILITY. THE PEDAL CONTINUES TO PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN PUMPING THE PEDAL. IT CORRECTS ON ITS OWN AFTER AN HOUR OR SO. 4 OCCASIONS OCCURRED AFTER HITTING A BUMP. 1 OCCASION OCCURRED WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED AFTER HITTING A PATCH OF ICE. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN REPLACED (I SAVED THE OLD ONE) AND THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER A SPAN OF ABOUT 1YEAR SO IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO INTENTIONALLY REPEAT AND DIAGNOSE. INTERNET RESEARCH POINTS TO A POSSIBLE STICKING ABS MODULATOR VALVE. *TT *TR
