NHTSA Complaint #10550515 — 2010 NISSAN MURANO

MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO'S TRANSFER CASE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH JOINT. IN TOTAL THE REPAIRS COST $5,600. I CALLED NISSAN TO REQUEST THAT THEY COVER THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH I AM 6,000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. PREVIOUSLY DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE THE CVT, AND BASED ON MY RESEARCH, NISSAN HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF CVT AND TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS JUST INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR, AND WENT AS FAR TO SAY IT WAS DUE TO ME NOT BRINGING MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE LIKE MOTOR OIL CHANGES. I CHANGE MY OWN OIL, AND SPARE NOTHING BY ONLY USING MOBILE 1 OR OTHER HIGH-END OILS. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I STILL HAVE TWO YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON THIS CAR AND SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CVT AND TRANSFER CASE THIS SOON. *TR
