Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO WITH 88,000 MILES. THE CAR FOR THE MOST PART HAS BEEN RELIABLE. RECENTLY IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SAID IT IS TO OLD TO BE CONSIDERED FOR WARRANTY REPAIRED, I HAVE NOTICED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. DESPITE A WARRANTY EXTENSION BY NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED ANY WARRANTY CONSIDERATION. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES; THIS SHOULD INCLUDE FREE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGES THEY CLAIM MAY CAUSE CVT FAILURES. AT THIS POINT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF NISSAN PRODUCTS UNTIL THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE GM, CHRYSLER AND FORD RECALL THAT ARE OVER TEN-YEARS OLD ; WHY CAN'T THEY REQUIRE NISSAN TO DO THE SAME THING?
