| Description of the problem | My nissan murano sl had 35k miles when purchased. Complained 5 times to the dealership about groaning noise and major oil leak. Major vibrations occurred while driving and pulled over so i couldn't drive anymore. Burning smell of oil that was leaking for months and was not noticed by certified mechanics. Also bucking motions. Towed murano for repair and later diagnosed as transfer case and tail shaft destroyed. The cvt transmission needed slight repairs too with transfer case. Cost ~$3500 |
