| Description of the problem | My transmission and engine began behaving erratically. The engine did not respond to the gas pedal immediately and seemed to work very hard to move the vehicle. The erratic behavior was then accompanied by what sounded like a plane landing then a loud bang. The behavior of the transmission caused the transfer case to fracture. (this was confirmed by my mechanic and again by the nissan dealer service department). Nissan has recognized the transmission problems in a number of its models including the 2005 murano. As a result, nissan vehicles ranging in years from 2003-2010 equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) have received a 10-year /120,000 mile cvt limited warranty extension.
