NHTSA Complaint #11232729 — 2017 NISSAN MURANO

VEHICLE HAS 35,700 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE JUNE OF 2018 WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OR FASTER AND YOU GO AND TRY TO PASS SLOWER TRAFFIC WHETHER IT'S ON THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY AND YOU TURN THE WHEEL TO CHANGE LANES WHILE PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT AND SPEED UP. THE RPM GAUGE INCREASES AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. AFTER YOU STRAIGHTEN OUT THE STEERING WHEEL THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN DOWN SHIFTS AND TAKES OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO PASS CAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED AND IT LEAVES YOU TOOLING ALONG IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND I TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY TROUBLE CODES STORED IN THE VEHICLES SYSTEM. IT DOES THIS AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH AND NO TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS COME OF IT. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE INQUIRIES ABOUT THIS ONLINE TO NISSAN DIRECTLY AND VEHICLE MECHANIC TYPE SITES. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM NISSAN THEMSELVES BUT OTHER MECHANIC TYPE SITES HAVE COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, IT HAS TO BE THE A COMPUTER MODULE OR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM. SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MODULES THEMSELVES. NO TROUBLE CODES THEREFORE NOTHING IS WRONG, IS NISSAN'S STANCE. FOR WHAT I HAVE READ, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ANY HELP, WHICH SURPRISES ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU PULL OUT TO PASS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE IT IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU PULL INTO.THE LEFT LANE ON THE FREEWAY TO PASS AND CAN'T, IT IS DANGEROUS!
