2006 Nissan Murano Powertrain (other) Problems

this is the second transmission i have put in this.. these cvt's are complete garbage and nissan is aware of it. Stand behind your product for once and replace this transmission on your dime. Will drive perfect sometimes and then randomly 3k-5k rpms and wont shift. sometimes i can shut it off and restart it and it will work fine again. sometimes it wont and i have to drive around with excessively high rpms. Also what is this annoying air suction noise i hear under throttle, sounds like an intake or blow off valve. there are zero vaccum leaks,

CODES P1778 (SEP MOTOR FUNCTION) AND P00845 (TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE) FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN RESEARCHING THESE, I FOUND MANY COMPLAINT TRAILS CONCERNING THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND VARIOUS RELATED CODES. NISSAN'S ANSWER IS ALWAYS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT HIGH COSTS TO OWNER. MINE CONTINUES TO RUN BUT IN A KIND OF CRIPPLED MODE CALLED "SAFE MODE" THAT IS AN ATTEMPT TO REDUCE MAJOR TRANSMISSION DAMAGES. CODES OCCURRED DURING DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS UNDER 45 MPH. VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER BE USED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS THE "SAFE MODE" LIMITS RPM AND SPEED.

WE FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUG GOING BAD, CAUSING OUR CAR TO STOP AND SHAKE. HAD THEM REPLACED AND A MONTH LATER THE CAR STARTED MAKING AN UNGODLY RATTLE NOISE. ALMOST LIKE A LOUD FAN TYPE NOISE. IT GETS LOUDER THE MORE YOU DRIVE IT. THE SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHOPS THAT LOOKED AT IT. ALL SAID THE SAME THING, THE LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND FAST. AND SAID UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. BEFORE MY AXLE AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT OUT MID DRIVE. AND I SHOULD CONTACT YOU BECAUSE THIS WAS NISSAN ISSUE TO FIX. AND THAT WE NEED TO GET RID OF THIS DEATH TRAP. BEFORE IT KILLED ME AND OUR FAMILY.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN I FIRST START TO DRIVE (CANNOT GO OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR.) AFTER WARMING UP IT STARTS TO RESPOND. WHEN DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SLIP AND THE CAR LAGS/LUNGES. NISSAN REPAIR CANNOT GET AN "ERROR CODE" FROM THEIR MACHINE WHEN TESTING BUT ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE THE CAR UNTIL IT CODES. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) MANUFACTURER DEFECT. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLY LOOSES POWER AND DECELERATES. ABRUPT, UNCONTROLLED LOSS OF POWER PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT CRASH POTENTIAL. DRIVER IS CHALLENGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY MANEUVER AND NEGOTIATE TRAFFIC, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED BY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS. *TR

I'VE HAD A PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED MANY TIMES BY FELLOW MURANO OWNERS. AFTER DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING WAY DOWN FOR TRAFFIC OR WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY THE THROTTLE BECOMES VERY UNRESPONSIVE. IT LAGS AND THEN SURGES. THIS PROBLEM WAS APPARENT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO OCCURS OCCASIONALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC, WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP NEAR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. (FAIL SAFE MODE?) RECYCLING THE IGNITION FIXES THE PROBLEM, AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER, BUT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT SERVICES MY CAR HAS NOT INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE DETECTED ANY PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS ARE BEGINNING TO GIVE OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR, USED IN 2009. FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS CHARGERS IN CAR DID NOT WORK. WITHIN LAST SIX MONTHS FUEL GAUGE BECAME INACCURATE. THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED, WILL LOOK FOR DETAILS. BUT 9/24/13 DRIVING UP A HILL, CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR AND STOPPED WORKING. THE PART THAT WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL-PART NUMBER 24820-CC20A. APPARENTLY, PANEL WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH TRANSMISSION PROPERLY. DEALER CHARGED US $1150 TO REPLACE. NEITHER SERVICE MANAGER OR SERVICE COORDINATOR HAS SEEN ONE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY. YES, INTERNET FULL OF COMMENTS ABOUT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. THESE FAILURES APPEAR TO BE THE RESULT OF FAULTY SOLDERING OR WELDING OF CONNECTIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY SONS SCHOOL IN AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND THE CAR WAS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 10 MILES AN HOUR IN A 45 ZONE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE INTO SAFE HAVEN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR NISSAN AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF SOMEONE WHO IS LESS EXPERIENCED OR IN AN EVEN MORE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO THEM! *TR

I TRIED TO PARK MY CAR IN A PARKING. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK; IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN NEUTRAL GEAR. AS A RESULT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE I HAD TO DRIVE OVER A MEDIAN TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE ENDEMIC WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHY HAVE YOU NOT ORDERED NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL? *TR

ON 12/10/12 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 15MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING LOUD CLUNKING NOISES, BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED IT AND SAID THEY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSFER CASE OR TRANSMISSION WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NISSAN IS SAYING THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS NO WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT IT FAILS. WHEN ASKED WHY IT FAILED THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT NISSAN DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE JUST TO REPLACE IT BUT UNFORTUNATELY AT MY COST OF $3500 WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS IF THEY KNOW ITS AN ISSUE AND CAN NOT GUARANTY THAT IT WON'T FAIL AGAIN! I CAN NOT AFFORD NOT SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR NISSANS FAILURE! THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH THE CONSUMER. *TR
