| Description of the problem | My husband took my vehicle for a normal oil change. He was then informed that the transfer case had a leak and it would cost over $3,000. 00 to have it replaced. I do have an extended warranty and between nissan and the extended warranty i am being juggled around as to who is responsible to pay for the replacement. I have since found out that the factory warranty was extended due to the many problems associated with this issue. I have been looking and have found that this has been a problem on the murano for quite some time. Apparently if the transfer case runs dry of the small amount of oil it has, it can lock up the entire drivetrain and render the vehicle un-drivable. The transfer case is directly related to the cvt and many of the failed cvt¿ |
