| Description of the problem | I was told today that i have leak in the transfer case in my 2009 nissan murano awd. I was told by the service advisor that the leak could cause a fire if the fluid drips onto the catalytic converter. After searching the web, i found many other nissan muranos with similar complaints. I think nissan should be forced to make the necessary repair (est. Given $2725) when the 60,000 mile warranty has expired. |
