2004 Nissan Murano power train problems

“MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO JERKS TO THE LEFT SIDE AS YOU GIVE IT GAS AND DRIVING. IT JUST JERKS ON IT'S OWN AND HEADS IN THE DIRECTION OF ANYTHING OR OBJECT THAT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT AND TOLD THAT WAS ALL IT WAS AND BY REPLACING IT THAT IT WOULD STOP DOING THE JERKING. I CHANGED THE MOTOR MOUNT, WHICH NEEDED REPLACED ANYWAY, BUT IT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN PUT YOU INTO ANOTHER CAR, DITCH, TREE, ETC.. I'VE SENT THIS PROBLEM IN BEFORE AND I'VE HAD NO RESPONSE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!! I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR ALOT OF THE TIME AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO EVEN PUT THEIR LIVES, MY LIFE, AND OTHER CARS IN THE WAY OF THIS HAZARD. I COULD KILL MULTIPLE INNOCENT PEOPLE BY DRIVING MY CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE'S NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PREVIOUS CAUSE. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME ON ANY ROAD. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION FOR ME? IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TACHOMETER INCREASED, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED UNCONTROLLABLY.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 197,000.”

“CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH WAY. NO LIGHTS WERE ON. GAS STATION SAID CODE P0868 SHOWED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NISSAN KNOWING SOLD ME THIS CAR IN 2014 FOR OVER 10,000. PNLY FOUR YEARS AGO THEY HAVE PROBLEM ON THIS CAT CVT BUT DID NOT INFORM ME. AT ALL. [XXX]”

“WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCLERATE THE REVS TO 3000 RPM AND NOT GAIN ANY SPEED, YOU HAVE PUSH AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO MAINTAIN ANY KIND OF FORWARD MOMENTUM THE CAR CAN MUSTER. I DONT KNOW WHY THE CAR WILL NOT GAIN ANY SPEED. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ON A BUSY ROADWAY.I HAVE READ MANY OTHER POST ABOUT SIMILIAR ISSUE LIKE MINE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CVT ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING FOR US CAR OWNERS, THE CAR ONLY HAS 91000 MILES ON IT AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE OCURRING IN SO MANY VEHICLES. THEIR SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO HELP THE OWNERS OUT. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY FAULTY AND WILL NOT HOLD UP....”

“THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER IT HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON HIGHWAY. AFTER GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND PUSHING IT TO THE SIDE, THE VEHICLE FINALLY DROVE AWAY. BUT AFTER THIS THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A TRANSMISSION RATTLE IN WHICH NONE OF MY (4) MECHANICS CAN SEEM TO FIX. FAILURE AT 100,110K MILES. GLAD NISSAN IS MAKING MONEY WHILE WE SUFFER.”
