Problems with 2009 Nissan Murano POWER TRAIN

The rack and pinion and rear differential of my 2009 murano le is defective. the rack and pinion has stopped working twice and needs to be replaced for the third time. the rear differential on the car has also failed and needed to be replaced. the steering pump has also stopped working and needs to be replaced. the car was purchased in april 2008 and has had documented steering problems since. the dealership (koppel nissan) has given me a hard time and nissan has not addressed the issue. this steering problem causes the steering wheel to stop working and i have had several incidents were my children and i have been almost hit. this is a huge safety issue and the fact that the rack and pinion are on back order may indicate this is a wide spread problem. i have been told by mechanics to submit a lemon claim to the state of ny. i have inquired with both the dealership and manufacture with no success. i approaching the statute of limitation under the ny lemon law and fear that repairing the rack and pinion and steering pump will not resolve the problem and i will not be able to file a claim. with everything that is going on with toyota i feel it is important to reach out to you so that you can alert others who may be having the same problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan murano. while parked on an incline or in the reverse gear, the vehicle rolls forward. the dealer was contacted, and a technician stated that they were unaware of this type of failure. no repairs were made. the failure mileage was 400.

The vehicle cvt becomes unstable. vehicle unexpectedly loses power at times. got off highway ramp and came to a normal stop. stepped on accelerator to move into traffic. vehicle hesitated and crawled slowly into traffic for 5 to 10 seconds before surging forward with accelerator to the floor. nearly t-boned on several occasions. have gone through 4 transmissions so far and the dealership is contemplating another replacement. i have no confidence another transmission will fix the problem since the same dangerous failure mode keeps showing up totally without warning. *tr

On incline, vehicle rolls backwards while in forward automatic transmission gear if you don't have foot on brake. nissan service says it is the new transmission that allows this to happen. this will cause accidents. *tr
