general problems of the 2014 Nissan Murano

Problems with Nissan Murano cvt transmission - transmission slips with loss of power/acceleration while in traffic, then jerks or lurches forward. No codes (dtc) registered for the symptoms. Dangerous for myself and other drivers as this occurs without warning. Fortunate not to end up in an accident. Nissan manuals do not recommend precautions or service for this. Now faced with all repair costs.

I attempted to make a right to turn into the parking space at the restaurant and the truck jerked forward. I pressed the brake pad and quickly noticed that the truck did not stop. I said out loud, “it’s not stopping!” the passenger in my truck then leaned over and noticed that my foot was in fact on the break pad. I made the statement again, “it’s not stopping!” the truck rolled over the concrete parking block and proceeded into the building. I was pumping the break peddle to the floor at this point. I could hear the engine accelerating as I was pumping the break peddle to the floor and the air bags never deployed. I yelled uncontrollably because I could not believe what had just happened. I remembered yelling out loud…”it wouldn’t stop…. Oooo god…. It wouldn’t stop…why didn’t it stop!”.

When pulling into a parking space with the right foot on the brake pedal, the car accelerated. The car had enough speed to go over the cement parking block and hit the vehicle parked in front. Trying to avoid that vehicle the steering wheel was turned to the left and other vehicles were hit. The car then stopped. All the time the foot was on the brake. The car was then put into reverse and backed up to clear the vehicles.
