| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2004 nissan murano down a busy street with no shoulder and i had a complete transmission failure. Luckily, i was not hit by any cars. The car had to be towed. The only fix is to replace the entire transmission. Total cost: over $6000. 00 i do not have $6000. 00 to repair the vehicle. The band in the cvt transmission failed and can not be replaced. I have only 85,000 miles on the murano. This is a common defect on '03 and '04 muranos and nissan does not recognize this and will not work with me to resolve this issue. |
