2012 Nissan Murano

THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, THEN SUDDENLY STARTED SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AS I CONTINUED ACCELERATING, IT SMOOTHED OUT, BUT AS I CAME TO MY NEXT STOP AND STARTED ACCELERATING, THE SHUDDERING HAPPENED AGAIN, THEN I HEARD A POP AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REV AS I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, FOR WHICH THE MOST COMMON REMEDY SEEMS TO BE FULL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND ASSIST THOSE OF US EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY FAULTY AND COSTING OWNERS SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I WAS IN A RELATIVELY REMOTE AREA, SO NEITHER I NOR OTHER DRIVERS WERE IN DANGER...HOWEVER, HAD I BEEN IN A MORE POPULATED AREA IT COULD HAVE MADE FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWNS NISSAN (LOCATED AT 11010 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030, (703) 591-8009), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,024. *TT CONSUMER STATED LAST TRIP TO PA RETURNED TO BROWNS ON RETURN ADVISED THAT WIPERS AND CONDEMNATION WAS SO BAD COULD NOT SEE CLEARLY!!! TOOK CAR BACK TO SHOW TECH. THE WHOLE CAR FULL OF CONDEMNATION DEFROSTER DID NOTHING. HE DECIDED TO REMOVE THE CRYSTAL FUSION ALSO DID NOT WORK. FINALLY AGREED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM AFTER 6 YEARS OF THIS. WE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK UP CAMERA WITH THE CONDEMNATION. UPDATED 10/17/18*JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND AIR CONDITIONING TO CLEAR WINDOW FROM RAIN AND CONDESCENSION HAS NOT WORKED CAUSING VISION NOT ABLE TO SEE THIS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT HAVE TAKEN CAR BACK TO DEALER AND CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECT MANY TIMES FILE NO11367267 AND 8380358 NO HELP BUT IS GETTIN WORSETO POINT A FRAID TO DRIVE IN RAIN CAN U HELP ON MOST RECENT JULY 17 2018 COULD NOT SEE HAD TO USE WASHER WIPERS TO BE ABLE TO SEE

MY CAR WOULD HESITATE 4 TO 5 SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE, AS I WAS AT A LIGHT, WENT TO TURN, AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. IT FINALLY LUNGED FORWARD. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, IF I HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE AND CAUSED ME TO TURN IN FRONT OF AN ONCOMING CAR. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS A ROAD WITH 50 MPH TRAFFIC INTO A SUBDIVISION. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE, BUT UNACCEPTABLE FOR ONLY 62,000 MILES. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $4500 TO FIX. NISSAN IS STATING THIS IS MY FAULT, AS I NEVER HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED. IN THE BOOK, THE FIRST SERVICE FOR TRANSMISSION REQUIRED IS 60,000 MILES, BUT IT STATES TO INSPECT THE FLUID. THERE ARE OPTIONAL SERVICES AT 30K MILES, BUT IT DOES NOT INDICATE THEY ARE REQUIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED; HOWEVER, THE STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY STILL OPERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JOHN AMATO NISSAN (5200 N WASHINGTON ROAD, GLENDALE, WISCONSIN 53217), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN OCTOBER OF 2017, THE REAR ELECTRICAL DOOR MALFUNCTIONED AND REMAINED IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE BY THE DEALER (CHERRY HILL NISSAN, 2325 NJ-38, CHERRY HILL, NJ 08002). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,600.

WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, HAVING JUST BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE SUNROOF OF MY 2012 NISSAN MURANO SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. I KEEP MY CAR INSIDE A GARAGE AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS. PER MY AUTO MANUAL, I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AFTER THE INCIDENT AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE PERSON STATED IT WAS THE 2ND CALL THAT MORNING RELATED TO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND MANY OTHERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER AFTER A WEEK OF THEM GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR HAS BEEN QUOTED TO BE AROUND $1500. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM NISSAN AGAIN.

MY CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN TAKING OFF AT TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED PULLING INTO MOVING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS PULLING AWAY FROM A GREEN LIGHT. SOMETIMES WHILE MOVING YOU WILL FEEL A LAPSE OF POWER AS WELL. ONE DEALER TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS THE TIRES...NOT THE CASE. ANOTHER SUGGESTED IT IS THE CVT, WHICH IS WHAT WE THOUGHT. HOWEVER, NISSAN IS SNEAKY AND HID THE ABILITY TO FULLY DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM SINCE NO ERROR CODE IS PRESENT WITH THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR, SO I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT ALL TOGETHER.
