There is a known issue with the transfer cases of these cars (see service bulletin ntb17-003). The axle seals on my car are leaking and can cause dangerous results for anyone operating the car. Nissan needs to recall and fix this known issue immediately.
The car was bucking at low speeds (10-20 mph) and had a vibration at high speeds (70+). The dealership reported that the diagnostic code was p17f0 and they needed to replace the cvt subassembly and the rpl automatic cvt transaxle assembly and reprogram the a/t control unit. While doing that they discovered they needed to replace the front and rear seals on the leaking transfer case. This is very similar to a recall affecting the cvt on other Nissan vehicles, but that recall did not cover this vehicle.
The transfer case and axle seals on my 2015 Nissan Murano have been leaking and the dealer has had the vehicle three different times, within the last month and a half, for numerous days. There was 27,091 miles on it when I took it in on 11-08-17. The dealer has provided a rental each time. The three dates the vehicle went into the dealer are: 11-08-17, 12-02-17 and 12-19-17. I filed a case with Nissan under case #29147756 and gave them a copy of the title showing that it was purchased through my family's business, burkins & foley. I will provide you with a copy if needed.
