Consumer Description

THE FATIGUE CRACK OCCURRED AT THE TRANSFER CASE. AS AN ENGINEER, I SUSPECT THAT THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) PROBLEMS IN THE MURANO CAUSED THE FAILURE AT THE TRANSFER CASE. MORE THAN LIKELY, THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT DO PROPER FATIGUE TESTING OR "TURNED AN EYE" AT THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS, AS THEY HAVE TAKEN STEPS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY IN THE CVT, YET REFUSE TO RECALL OTHER COMPONENTS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CVT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY NISSAN OWNERS AS I HAVE READ. ANYHOW, A FAILURE IN THE TRANSFER CASE IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK UP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT IN INJURIES OR DEATHS. *TR
