Transmission Failure problems of the 2004 Nissan Murano

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.

I was driving my 2004 Nissan Murano down a busy street with no shoulder and I had a complete transmission failure. Luckily, I was not hit by any cars. The car had to be towed. The only fix is to replace the entire transmission. Total cost: over $6000. 00 I do not have $6000. 00 to repair the vehicle. The band in the cvt transmission failed and can not be replaced. I have only 85,000 miles on the Murano. This is a common defect on '03 and '04 Muranos and Nissan does not recognize this and will not work with me to resolve this issue.

Nissan recall for 2004 Murano air intake system. The consumer's children were driving the vehicle. When they pulled out of a busy parking lot, the vehicle would not accelerate properly. The vehicle was towed to the closest dealership and the next day, the consumer was informed the transmission had failed and a new one would cost $6,000. Also the door latches and hatch were inoperative. The consumer believed the failure was the result of the recall.

2004 Nissan Murano sl 2wd model just came to a stop while driving,restarted the engine then put the car in drive and engine stalls out,tried this over & over again but it continues to stall. I immediately had the car towed to the dealer and three days later they informed me that the automatic transmission failed (only 25003 miles). The automatic transmission was replaced but no one at Nissan ever told me what caused the failure or gave me any confidence that this problem will not occur again soon. This was my wife's car and just stopping without any warning on a busy freeway could have resulted in someone running into her being unaware that her car has broken down. Unfortunately Nissan doesn't make these cvt transmission so their mechanics I'm told do only removal & replacement (jatco makes the Murano transmission).
