Tl* the contact owns a 2003 nissan murano. while the vehicle was at a complete stop, it did not move when the accelerator pedal was depressed. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

After driving in stop and go traffic or after driving long enough for the transmission to get warmed up, when accellerator is pushed the car is unresponsive for 5 to 10 seconds then suddenly lunges forward into traffic! this happens in all driving situations. the only requirement is the transmission needs to be driven enough to be warmed up. it is a known issue with this vehicle's cvt transmission failing! this is a major safety issue and all affected cvt's should be replaced or repaired! nissan has recalled other vehicles that have the exact same transmission and experiencing the exact same issues but they have ignored taking responsibility for the 2003 murano's transmission! look here at your complaints and you will find hundereds of people claiming the same thing. some are explaining the issue with knowledge of what the issue is and many others are reporting the same issue just without proper car knowledge so it may not be reported as the same issue. if you look into these complaints you can see the cvt transmission is a safety hazzard and should be recalled for life of the vehicle!

The problem with my nissan murano like so many others is the transmission. i took it to the dealer and i wasted $125 dollars. i also contacted nissan cooperate and they have not did anything. nissan knows this is a manufactory problem and they will not acknowledge the problem. i am so frustrated with this problem i seen that they extended the warranty but i am 20,000 miles over it i need help

I have a 2003 nissan murano with 88,000 miles. the car for the most part has been reliable. recently it was diagnosed with a bad cvt transmission. nissan said it is to old to be considered for warranty repaired, i have noticed on various websites that this vehicle has numerous complaints regarding this cvt transmission. despite a warranty extension by nissan to address this problem, it seems that this problem occurs after the vehicle has exceeded any warranty consideration. this is a significant safety issue and i feel that nissan should be held responsible for correcting this problem on all affected vehicles; this should include free transmission fluid changes they claim may cause cvt failures. at this point i would not recommend the purchase of nissan products until they live up to their responsibility. if the government can make gm, chrysler and ford recall that are over ten-years old ; why can't they require nissan to do the same thing?

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 nissan murano. while drivibg at 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

Transmission housing is cracked. vehicle made loud noises and shuddering. several similar complaints on the internet. *tr

The rear suspension member link which holds the suspension to the car rotted off and caused the suspension to fail. the remaining metal is severely rooted or perforated. there are several 2003 muranos on the road. mine is always garaged and i have kept it well maintained since new. nissanusa was called and they will do nothing to fix or pay to fix the problem. i surely would think this car could go for several more years before any problems with it. the entire car has no rust anywhere on it, so why did the rear suspension fail? i am wondering if in the early 2000's if this metal that was used was some of the batch that made them recall and replace a large number of pickup trucks too. i am wondering how many other murano's have this problem or will. this is surely a safety issue for anyone who is driving a vehicle like this.. please help. *tr

Coming off exit ramp, stopped and turned left, was going around 25 mph when the car surged forward, accelerated, rpm shot up. i had to slam on the brakes and put the car into neutral. the car then slowed and began driving normally. a week later, my wife and i were on the interstate going around 60 mph when the car slowed down as though it was put into a low gear. we could only get it to go no more that 35 mph. we pulled off on the shoulder and parked. the car would not start again. had to tow it. about a month later, i was on the interstate going around 65 when the same thing happened as before, it went into a lower gear, lowering my speed to around 30 mph which caused me to almost get hit from behind. had it been a large truck it most likely would have hit me. i put it in neutral and pulled off to the shoulder. when i pulled out again, it drove at a normal rate of speed. i've taken it to the nissan dealership and they claimed they couldn't find anything wrong. the ...

I just purchased this vehicle on 7/15/14, drove it home and it would not start 7/16/14. i was able to get the vehicle started, but the service engine soon light came on and it shut off 2 more times while parked. i was finally able to get it started and running to go about my errands. i stopped to pick someone up from the hospital and it started up, but immediately shut off again. eventually, it started bucking and shuddering while i was driving and seemed as if it was going to shut off. i was able to get it to the dealer i purchased it from and he is taking responsibility of getting it serviced. the diagnosis was the rear cam position sensor went bad. i called haldemann nissan in hamilton, nj to inquire about recalls, as i knew this was a recall issue and was told that my vin number had no recalls. *tr
