Consumer Description

MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO BEGAN DRIVING FUNNY. IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN I ACCELERATED. THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE SCHEDULED TO BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. WE FIRST TOWED THE CAR TO FIRESTONE, NOT KNOWING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. FIRESTONE WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR, AND THE CAR WAS SENT TO NISSAN, WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAD ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT, AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE FAILED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2003-2004 TRANSMISSIONS FAILING IN THE MURANO. WE ARE NOW STUCK WITH A $5500 BILL WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY. *TR UPDATED 08/20/09.*JB
