Consumer Description

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY NISSAN MURANO IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN OKLAHOMA CITY. MY WIFE AND 5 YR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SHE WAS ALMOST RUN OVER. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK NISSAN HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TICKING TIME BOMB IN THEIR MURANOS. SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I'M LOOKING AT A $6400 REPAIR BILL BECAUSE IT IS 5000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE SIMPLY STOPS MOVING AND MUST BE TOWED. ALSO TOLD CANNOT FIX CVT, MUST BE REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW CVT, $6000. *TR
