| Description of the problem | The dealer identified the transfer case part of the awd transmission is leaking. My murano is on it's 3rd transmission (replaced around 25k and again around 106k), and this possibly was related to the transmission replacement. I realize this is not an emergency/safety issue, but it has been recommended that i report this defect here in an attempt to force nissan to issue a recall since so many murano owners have experienced the same expensive failures. |
