| Description of the problem | I was driving in rush hour traffic and was driving approximately 45 mph. A truck moved over into my lane forcing me on the shoulder of the road. As i drove home after the incident i noticed the transmission was making a high winding sound and was not shifting gear. The next day as i was driving to have it looked at the car stopped in the middle of a high traffic road. I had to pay to have it towed, rent a car for a week before getting my car back from the dealer. I am now having the same issue and nothing happened to cause the situation with the transmission. I have been researching cvt transmissions and i keep seeing the same stories from other nissan murano owners. I want it pulled from my car and have a standard, regular transmission or put me in a different car that does not have a cvt transmission in it, or i will nail nissan to the wall! My mom and i walked into the dealership in 2010 and bought 3 new nissans, ( different models ), but paid cash for all 3 vehicles. This was a $42,000 car. This was also the first year nissan murano came with the cvt transmission so there had not been time for any reviews, complaints, etc. I want someone to please do something about this problem or i will. |
