When taking off from a complete stop or trying to acclerate the revs to 3000 rpm and not gain any speed, you have push and let off the accelerator several times just to maintain any kind of forward momentum the car can muster. i dont know why the car will not gain any speed. this could be a real safety issue on a busy roadway.i have read many other post about similiar issue like mine and it sounds like the cvt are very unreliable and nissan should do the right thing for us car owners, the car only has 91000 miles on it and this issue should not be ocurring in so many vehicles. their should be something done about this issue to help the owners out. nissan knows that there cvt transmission are very faulty and will not hold up....

The vehicle would not accelerate after it had come to a complete stop on highway. after getting out of my vehicle and pushing it to the side, the vehicle finally drove away. but after this the vehicle has had a transmission rattle in which none of my (4) mechanics can seem to fix. failure at 100,110k miles. glad nissan is making money while we suffer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. without warning, the vehicle surged to 40 mph and almost crashed into the preceding vehicle. the contact had to remove his foot from the accelerator pedal to slow down the vehicle. the failure only occurred when coming to a complete stop. the contact also stated that there was a strong burning odor emitted from the vents. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a transmission death code came up, which indicated that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 120,650.

My nissan murano sl had 35k miles when purchased. complained 5 times to the dealership about groaning noise and major oil leak. major vibrations occurred while driving and pulled over so i couldn't drive anymore. burning smell of oil that was leaking for months and was not noticed by certified mechanics. also bucking motions. towed murano for repair and later diagnosed as transfer case and tail shaft destroyed. the cvt transmission needed slight repairs too with transfer case. cost ~$3500

Transmission failed without warning at 68k miles. while on highway engine just started free reving. had to coast to side of road. nissan will not assist in repair as car is over 10 years old. dealer worked on transfer case in may; thought they reported all was well.

I'd like to start by saying this is my 3rd or 4th complaint pertaining to the same issue and i have yet to get a response. customers have the option to list their complaints, however, i believe this is a serious matter not to mention safety issue. there's no rhyme or reason this matter should be over looked by no means. once again as i am driving with my kids this is my biggest concern with nissan, traffic is flowing but have stop and go moments, so as i was at a stop moment, then proceeded to go, i pressed on the accelerator as i normally do, pressed all the way down, nothing, i repeat nothing happened my car didn't move at all, instead it loss power, the rpms increased that's about all. mind you i'm on the expressway i-55 with majority of the vehicles are semi-trucks this is very frightening, not knowing when this will occur. me and my kids life are at stake each and every time we're in this vehicle. no one has reached out to me and other family's i'm sure, why? i don't know. this is a safety issue, no indication that loss of power ...

2004 murano would not excel at stop signs/red lights or low speeds. tested by nissan dealership, codes show transmission going out. love my clean, looks like new murano even at it's age and 136,000 miles. owned nissan's since late 80's. nissan corp. will not help with repair. so not fair. nissan knows their product was inferior. being forced to purchase a new vehicle. repairs almost as much as vehicle's value. i loved my murano so much i talked them up to friends/family so they purchased nissan's. opposite opinion now!!! goodbye nissan!!!!! you have hurt me financially so i hope to do the same!!!!!

While driving in rush hour traffic mind u a big truck was behind me traffic is stop and go, as i press down on the accelerator there was no movement from my vehicle, like it loss power, i though maybe the gear was changed, but then it dawned on me that this has happened to me not once or twice, but it's beginning to happen more frequently this is not normal. i confirmed that the gear was still in drive, as i pressed down on the accelerator my vehicle jerked as it proceeded to take off (as if it was in turbo boost), i could have hit someone else's car (good thing i didn't). this is a very serious matter many, many lives are at stake. i'm disappointed that this matter have not raised corporate eyes at nissan . the reason for this page is for consumers to report complaints but it seems as if i'm not getting the answering that's needed to fix this serious issue and nor are the other owners who have listed their complaints. this issue should not be addressed after people have lost their lives by having/causing accidents due to loss ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. while driving 55 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle lost power and did not accelerate. the rpms increased, but did not affect the power of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the cvt failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 89,000....updated 08/15/16 *bf *js

While in the process of accelerating my vehicle from a stop, i pushed on the accelerator, the vehicle did not move, i thought maybe it was out of gear for the simple fact that it did not respond when pushing down on the accelerator; clearly that was not the case the vehicle was still in drive. however, i pushed on it again an it was big jerk before the vehicle moved forward.... this problem/issue has become very annoying, but most of all dangerous an are people lives at risk and jeopardy of causing an accident. it's very scary driving my vehicle not knowing if the vehicle will or will not accelerate properly as it should. driving on a highway this matter becomes even more dangerous. in addition to that when pressing on the accelerator the vehicle seems to be very loud, each and every time when pressing the accelerator. i do not like putting my family's life at risk when they're riding along with me. this issue must and need to be address asap. i am very disappointed because the fact of the matter nissan and or the nhtsa have not recalled the 2004 nissan murano to ...

Bought the car used at about 110k in december 2015, had no issues at all. flash forward to may 2nd 2016. after sitting in start/stop traffic for 20-30 minutes, the traffic finally started to flow, i attempted to accelerate and had a horrible, shaking, jerking from the vehicle. about 2 miles later after arriving to work and trying to turn a corner and applying gas after the corner, it did it again, this time though it caused me to clip a bumper around a concrete barrier, then the car lost all power and the check engine light came on. could not get it to move at all. after having it towed to an authorized nissan dealership, i found out the cvt had went out. i guess i can be glad it went out in a parking garage, because if it went out where the initial hesitation happened, i would have been in a wreck. 7.3k cash money spent on the vehicle, buying outright from a dealer, now with me being asked to spend another 4.5k on a part that nissan had acknowledged to be an issue, because the drive train warranty was extended to 10 year 120k ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. while driving 45 mph, the vehicle shook violently. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 154,000.

I was trying to accelerate from a stop, when the car refused to respond to the press of the gas pedal. finally, it slowly accelerated up to 10 mph, then the transmission shifted and the car took off rapidly. fortunately, i was able to control it. problem is repeatable.

I'm having problems with my cvt transmission, when i press on the gas pedal it hesitate to go i went to a mechanic and they say it was the cvt. i researched the problem and see owners having the same problem, i'm just wondering why this isn't a recall. this vehicle always get maintenance. *tr
