Description of the problem	Nissan murano transfer case design flaw: i purchased a new 2010 murano sl in june 2010. Vehicle was great until warranty expired. Just found out that the transfer case is leaking and could cause transmission failure and an accident if not fixed. According to 2 different nissan mechanics (both from different dealerships), this transfer case has a 'tab' that pushes against the engine block creating this issue and leaks. Nissan designed new replacement transfer cases ($1600 - $2000 to the consumer) that don't have this tab! According to one nissan mechanic, nissan knows about this issue and sent 'service bulletins' to their service departments explaining how to fix or replace the transfer case. The internet is littered with consumer complaints about these transfer cases. I called nissan usa. Was told that the transfer case is not recalled or covered under their extended transmission warranty. Nissan extended their cvt transmission warranty to 120k miles in case of an all out transmission failure but won't warrant or recall the cause - the transfer case. Fortunately, my family and i have not been in a major accident due to this. I'm forced to spend a lot of my money to fix this nissan flaw. It's time for the nhtsa to step in before people are injured or killed in a major highway accident because of this issue. Thank you.
