NHTSA Complaint #11163287 — 2017 NISSAN MURANO

WHEN MAKING SHARP TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT) INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND DRIVING STRAIGHT AFTER THE TURN, WHILE PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARD, THE RPM WILL GO UP HIGH BUT THE SPEED WILL NOT (IT WILL INCREASE VERY SLOWLY). THE RPM WOULD STAY HIGH (5000 TO 6000) THERE WILL BE LOTS OF NOISE FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN BUT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO LOWER THE RPM. IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CVT WORK PROPERLY AFTER THAT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS TO BE FULLY RELEASED AND THE RPM WILL HAVE TO GO DOWN. I CAN REPLICATE THIS CONDITION MOST OF THE TIME (IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD ENOUGH WHILE TURNING), AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. AT THE DEALERSHIP GARAGE I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE IS NO FAULT CODE THEY CAN'T HELP AND REFUSED TO TAKE A RIDE IN THE CAR.
