NHTSA Complaint #10690486 — 2007 NISSAN MURANO

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN MURANO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AFTER A LIGHT CHANGE MY VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION. LUCKILY, THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T SLAM INTO ME I WAS ABLE SAFELY GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR YET THE CAR BARLEY MOVED THEN IT LURCHED FORWARD AND WAS FINE. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC NOTHING A FEW WEEKS LATER AFTER NO ISSUE IT HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS DANGEROUS AND SCARY AGAIN I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE TRANSFER CASE I HAD REPAIRED. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A DEFECT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, THEY THEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE KNOWN MANUFACTURER ISSUE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SUGGESTED I BRING IT TO NISSAN AND SEE IF THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NISSAN COULD DO BUT TO SLAP IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE I WAS OVER THE EXTENDED 120,0000 MILES. THEY DID GIVE ME THE OPTION TO HAVE THEM THROW IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $4000. I THEN CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. RESEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE; IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT IS A TACTIC PLAYED BY NISSAN SO THEY WILL NOT BARE FINANCIAL AND REPUTATION DETERIORATION. INSTEAD THEY ARE PUTTING THAT ON THE PAYING CONSUMER. NOT RIGHT!! *JS
