| I purchased a pre-owned murano with the extended warranty. a few months ago i had the oil changed and was notified the transfer case was leaking. i brought the car to a nissan dealership to be fixed. the leaks were fixed, a few days later there was an intense burning smell. i brought the car back in to the nissan dealer and they fixed it again. i was told there were some more leaks found. now after driving the car in stop and go traffic for a long period of time the car will not accelerate properly. there is a 4 second delay then the car lurches forward. when i turn the car off for a while and turn it back on the problem seems to go away. i brought it again to the nissan dealer and they will do nothing because they cannot replicate the problem. i was told the warranty will not pay for parts unless the problem can be duplicated at the dealer. this is a serious safetly issue and i am no longer comfortable driving this car. | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan murano which is two wheel drive with the ctv transmission. we were coming back from vacation from colorado when the problem started. several times during the trip when we were coming down a hill with the cruise control on the car would try to maintain the selected speed however if the hill was a little to big it would turn off the cruise control it self. we were just south of san antonio the last time that it had turned off the the cruise. the problem was when it turned off the cruise it also disabled the transmission. it was rather scary as we were driving in rush hour traffic when it did it. we were coming down a hill when the cruise turned it self off and in the process the car started to slow down and we were in the middle lane. all we could do was turn on the right turn signal and hope no one would hit us. once we had gotten to the shoulder and stopped i had realized the engine was still running but the transmission wouldn't respond. i had put it in park and back into drive but the car wouldn't respond. i figured if i shut the engine off and restarted it that maybe it would reset whatever was wrong. i restarted the engine and the whole dash lit up. one by one the lights had gone out except the service the engine soon light. however the transmission worked and has worked since. by the time we had gotten home and gotten an appointment to take it in to a nissan dealer the light had gone out. we had taken it to the charlie clark nissan in harlingen texas and they had it for two days and never had a problem with it. the reason they didn't have a problem is that we have no hills as we live in the valley and there are no hills here. they said that they had checked everything that could cause the problem and everything was to specification. so nothing was adjusted , or replaced so as far as i'm concerned the problem is still there and the next time we get into the hill country it will probably act up again. | |||
