| Description of the problem | The vehicle does not go when you press the gas. It stalls extremely bad. It hasn't caused me a wreck --yet but it is going to happen. I have 2 young boys(age 6 &4) and i am scared for them to be in the car with me. I can not pull out in front of anyone because it takes so long for the acceleration to pick up. I like the looks of my murano and i bought it saying"it is a nissan so it will last" but i am starting to doubt that seriously!! This is my 2nd nissan vehicle and if this part cant be recalled then it will be my last and i will spread the word. This cvt problem is a safety issue for so many owners yet nissan refuses to do anything. I am very disappointed and hate to sell my murano but that looks like what i will have to do and take a huge loss on it also because of the cvt needing replaced. Makes the car not worth the nada or blue book at all.!!!! |
