Description of the problem	My 2004 nissan murano has been leaking transmission fluid due to a leak in the transfer housing case and is putting out an error code p0868. It now speeds up - slows down - rev's up over 5,000 rpms while not having any power to pull. I have spoken to nissan reps at 3 different dealerships and told them i smell smoke/burning oil coming from the engine. None of them would acknowledge anything. I recently took it to the 4th dealership and decided to spend the $75 to have it inspected and they agreed that it was leaking and has no pressure and told me that it was a design flaw but they couldn't do anything about it. The service manager took me over and showed me a brand new 2011 that had the same issue and they were putting in a new transmission due to the same issue. Unfortunately my warranty has now run out and they want over $7000 to replace the transmission - but they won't fix the leak unless i replace the transmission as they say they don't want me to come back upset. Well i'm upset because i've read over 100+ post with the same exact problem and i just know this thing is gonna lock up or speed up right in the middle of traffic and it should be nissan's responsibility to admit this is a major problem with the design of the '03 and '04 transmission/transfer case and step up and fix the issue.
