Two problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 2009 Nissan Murano. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2009 Nissan Murano based on all problems reported for the 2009 Murano.
My 2009 Nissan Murano which I bought in February 2014 from an authorized Nissan dealer (morrie's minnetonka) had a faulty cvt transmission. After dealing with the problem for almost a year, which includes but not limited to the following: loss of power, transmission jerking, transmission slipping, cvt coolant hose leaks and failures which put my life, my kids life in danger multiple times. I reached out to Nissan USA warranty office numerous times for no avail and ultimately replaced the transmission at a cost of $4,299. Nissan refused to cover the cost and completely ignored my repeated plea for a response. I would like to bring the issue to the NHTSA hoping you will 1) conduct the faulty cvt transmissions of Nissan. I learnt that there are pending legal issues that the company is dealing with as of today and I am happy to hand over all my vehicle inspection documents in order to help the investigation. 2) as I mentioned earlier the cvt transmission issue and sudden stops in the middle of the highway repeatedly put my life, my kids life and other drivers at risk. I am sure other Nissan Murano owners are dealing with the same problem and pursuing this investigation and resolving in a timely manner will protect the public from unnecessary danger caused by the manufacturer. 3) Nissan should take responsibility and cover owners like myself for a mistake that in my opinion big enough to demand a recall.
Well lets start with the engine stalling and not being able to get on the highway cause the engine lacks the power to even move. The right passenger side air bag light keeps flasing no matter what it does'nt go off. There is a rattling noise coming from the rear right side under the carriage. The left rear tire it lobsided and when it rains the rear of the car feels like its on ice and sways side to side it's an accident waiting to happen the tire sensor light never goes off even if you inflate to proper range and dont get me started on the transmission slipping hope that some one in your company does something about these issues before someone gets seriously hurt you may end up in court fix them before some one gets hurt. . . . All this in motion. Street and highway. Documentation yes the whole car is documentation.
