| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 nissan murano awd would accelerate and skip gears. if you are in stop and go traffic and you take your foot off the gas the car will lunge forward and try to go into a higher gear then first. this started happening intermittently then it happened several times in one day the friday before memorial day 2006. on saturday when we started the car it made a horrible clunking noise. we drove the car to the dealer and several days later we were told we would need a brand new transmission at a cost of $4000. the car has 78,000 miles and is 32 months old. all the miles are highway miles. we do not have an extended warranty because we have always owned nissan cars and never had a problem. i have conducted research and found several consumers have experienced the transmission problems at various life cycles of the vehicle. some had problems with in the first thousand miles. it is suspected that the problems are caused by the new cvt technology that nissan first introduced in the nissan murano in 2003. i think this is a serious problem. *nm |
