| Description of the problem | Coincidentally we just paid off our vehicle a few months ago. Our 2011 nissan murano has 103, 000 miles. About a month ago my wife mentioned that the car was hesitating when pressing the gas pedal to proceed forward from a stopped position. ( this is definitely a safety hazard at intersections and any stopped positions to proceed forward). The engine would just cut out and then after a few seconds would pick back up in rpms. I thought it was a fuel filter problem so we sent it to our mechanic. He came back to us and said its the cvt transmission and it could cost anywhere from $3500 - $5000. Something we did not want hear with a vehicle with just a hundred thousand miles on it. After further research we see this has been a known issue with nissan cvt. I really need some assistance on how to go about contacting nissan to see if they will warrant this problem. |
