Originally filed under 10284376 . The replaced transfer case has now went out again. Nissan is stating they will not warranty the transfer case unless I install and upgraded switch that is located on the console. This seems to be a design defect and a way for Nissan to correct the problem at the consumers expense. The company needs to be responsible for their products.
The cvt transmission went out in my 2004 Murano with 70,000. Prior to it going out I was experimenting unexpected acceleration and deceleration from the transmission. When approaching a stop light I let off the accelerator only to have the vehicle to accelerate before slowing down.
Two transfer case failures leaving the car stopped in traffic. Needed to be towed to dealer. Date listed is for last failure only. Dealer replaced the transfer case under warranty the first time. Second time required $4000 payment. No explanation as to the cause of the failure provided by dealer.
