1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2023

2 months ago I bought vehicle for $4300 and found out 3 weeks ago that the frame is broken. The car is very squirrely on wet roads- no wonder? it's very dangerous and it's going to cost more than the car is worth to fix it.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2022

The rear subframe is extremely rusted and breaking into pieces in multiple areas. The vehicle shakes upon acceleration and slowing down. Due to being lower income I cannot afford to fix the subframe (estimated to cost $400 for the the frame not including labor). Also the vacuum lines dry rotted and fell apart.

3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2021

Hello, I would like to report a problem. Didnt really see anything about transmission on the choices listed above. Well I got this car used from someone. Didnt really noticed the transmission problem until I was driving it for a while on the freeway. The transmission is just so bad . It is stuck on 3rd gear all the way. At high speeds. So imagine, the engine is whining so bad. The car basically wants to give up now. Still starts, revers, goes foward with no problem. Shifting is the problem. Also, ive checked the transmission fluid. Its still at a perfect level. Yes, it has roughly 129,000 miles on it. But really? this car should be lasting longer. Please. I really dont want to pay out of pocket for a whole new transmission. Theres got to be a way or something you guys could do to help me and my family.

4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2020

While driving the car will stall and not keep up with the speed I am doing . While entering the highway I need to accelerate and increase speed the vehicle will appear to be at the speed via the speedometer but it will lag and shutter and pause, causing cars to have to slam on breaks or quickly move to another lane because my vehicle cannot keep up with the flow of traffic. It is not safe on highway or on street. Ive have kept up with regular tune ups, oils changes and new tires . Recently got a tune up and the issue still persist . Very scarey.

6 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2019

My car is totally just crap! I've replaced coil packs, alternator, mass air flow sensor, battery, hub assemblies, catalic converter, and a lot more and it still has major problems! I believe it has electrical problems because my radio gets a loud static. It seems like it has a hard time accelerating. Then starts shaking real bad at about 20-40mph, then does fine above 60mph???.

11 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2018

My car was running perfectly fine until last night when it stopped acceleration as I was driving home from a friends house. It sort of "stalled" but was still on and running just wouldn't accelerate. Never had a single glitch with my transmission before. I only have 111k miles on it. I'm regular with my maintenances. Just started happening right out of the blue. I had a maximal before this and the transmission went on it but that made jerking movements before it died. There was nothing to indicate my transmission was about to die or was failing! when I look online there is constant complaints about yours transmissions failing on people right after they hit the 100k mark. There needs to be some kind of recall on your transmissions cause this is making me never want to buy another Nissan ever again and to warn anyone who is interested in buying your cars!.

13 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2017

My 2007 Nissan Murano suddenly begin acting like it wanted to shut of while on the highway. I would press the gas pedal about 3/4 down to the floor and there would be a few second lag before the rpm would rise and then suddenly jerk forward. I couldn't get my speed above 30 mph without the vehicle attempting to change gears on it own. Then one day as I'm going to the grocery store I came to a stop at a traffic light. When the light turned green I slowly accelerated and suddenly my car jerked abruptly and came to a halt. At this point the vehicle was inoperable. The most embarrassing part is that I was 1/4 of the way in the intersection and I was holding up the traffic all three ways. A good police officer stopped behind me and called a towing company. I had to pay over $100 to get my car towed. On top of that I had to tow it to the transmission place to have it checked since the car would start and rev, but not move forward. The transmission shop said the cvt belt prematurely broke. After researching this seems to be a very common problem among vehicles with cvt transmission, especially the Nissan Murano's. My car has a little over 100,000 miles on it. With the number of complaints on this same issue I'm surprised Nissan has not initiated a recall. This vehicle could have failed on the highway and is a very serious safety issue.

I have been driving 2007 Nissan Murano and when I drive the vehicle from a stop it jerk very badly and issue is with cvt transmission. As per Nissan dealership they will try to fix the cvt issue by changing the valve body and if this will not fix the issue then they will work on cvt transmission.

Hello, I own a 2007 Nissan Murano and have just had an issue where the entire sub frame has broken in half due to rust.

Thank you, marti benson.

My Nissan Murano has 122,000 miles on car and I have already spent a lot of money repairing cvt's, front end issues and had to purchase a new transmission. I was on the interstate and had to drive slow all the way to my home. No accident but Nissan Murano has a lot of issues with the front wheels and transmission.

20 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2013

Pulled out onto a roadway with a 60 mph speed limit. This vehicle is fast and has quick throttle response, so knowing that I could make it, while a car was approaching, I pulled out and accelerated quickly. The vehicle did not have near the power that it normally did and immediately made a loud screeching sound and clicking as if metal was scraping adjacent metal. Luckily, I let off the accelerator and hit it again, and it operated fine. There was no accident and nobody was hurt. The problem has slowly persisted and gotten worse. That's what recalls are for and that is what research on this problem for this particular vehicle will tell you needs to happen. The recall needs to take place. Do people need to die first? safety means avoiding injury. Research the problem here and do what you can to resolve it for the affected vehicles. I've seen much less severe recalls take place. I'm about to have to take my vehicle in to pay for this myself, becuase out of the thousands of complaints on this issue that I can probably find, there has been absolutely no resolution, and I am not sure if it may have caused any injuries to anybody else, but will be researching everything about it. I will present a portfolio of information on this problem so that it cannot be denied, if I must. I will do your jobs if you will not, although I'm sure you have just not had enough complaints, or something of similar nature, and it will take me a long time, a lot of reading and saving and printing info. At the same time I will be writing bad reviews every chance I get about Nissan not acknowledging responsibility for the problem, which I already have several times.

21 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2012

I was driving on the road at approximately 30 miles an hour when I notice the engine was revving at a higher speed with no change in acceleration. I brought the car to bay ridge Nissan and they replaced the cvt transmission for $500, even I though I have an existing warranty. I have contact Nissan corporate and I haven't heard from them. I am filing a complaint because a lot of Nissan owners, including myself, have been experiencing this problem.

22 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2012

As I was driving on the highway, the car either accelerated or decelerated even though I maintained steady pressure on the gas pedal. I did take it for repair at my local Nissan dealership. Luckily, I had purchased the extended warranty and was still within the warranty time frame. My car was at the dealership repair shop for over 8 weeks. I was told that 2 new transmissions were placed in my car and then there was a problem with the wiring harness. Although it was "fixed" it has not driven quite the same. Now I am hearing a strange sound from my engine and think I'm in for another round of repairs. I am out of the warranty period and want to know if Nissan corp. Has issued a recall.

23 Power Train problem

Loud thumping, could barely steer.

24 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2011

First noticed it kept popping out of all wheel drive in a snow storm while driving 15 mpr. Next issue was driving on the interstate at 65rpm the speed kept decellerating or sticking like it had a govanor on it at 65. Now I can not drive it for more then twenty minutes without it decellerating. It won't shift just sticks at 3rpm and the speed will not increase. Took it to the dealer three times. First time they said it was a bad battery. Second time they hooked it up to check engine machine. It did not throw a code so they said it was saft to drive. Coming down a mountain it started bucking and speed decellerated very quickly. Thankfully I was not hit from behind. Seems like a transmission problem to me but having a hard time getting nissian to replace it. Very scary and unsafe.
