2004 Nissan MURANO Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	900044
Internal NHTSA #	10442331

Brand	NISSAN
Model	MURANO
Model Year	2004
File date	03/01/12
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Complete transfer case failure with no warning whatsoever. Mechanic advised damage may be due to operating the awd feature on dry pavement which did not and has not occurred. Nissan has extended the warranty on the cvt transmission to 10 years/120,000 miles but it's not clear whether this includes the transfer case. Adding to this doubt, when i google this problem it seems hundreds of murano owners have been having the exact same dilemma with their vehicles of similar age/mileage. I contacted nissan north america this morning but their computers were down and they were unable to help me at that time. Even so, the transfer case should not fail so catastrophically on a vehicle of this age/mileage that has been regularly maintained and driven gently. Obviously this is a fairly major component to just fail without warning. I'm just wondering how many people will need to report this before nissan will recognize and resolve this serious safety problem.
