Murano Transmission
Hi Folks
I'm considering a purchase of a New Murano and am concerned about the cvt transmission, I put on a lot of miles in a year and was hoping for some feedback. The Murano has been out for a couple of years so I imagine there are some high mileage units out there, basicly how long does the drive belt last and does it start to run differently when the belt starts to wear and this may seem like a stupid question but if the belt breaks are you stuck at the side of the highway or can it still be driven? Inquirying minds need to know before I write the big cheque. Dave |

These are all excellent questions. I really wish I knew the answers to these questions myself. I'm really excited about the whole CVT thing though, as long as they can make it reliable.

Re: Murano Transmission
I don't have any answers to your questions yet but I can tell you that I spent a week hauling about 1000 lbs of bagged concrete per day and didn't have any problem at all. I didn't hardly notice any difference in power or acceleration. In fact, I overheard one of the guys at Home Depot commenting to another guy that "that Murano holds up to the weight better than a lot of pickups!".

You know I read somewhere that Nissan has been running vehicles with CVT in them all over. I remember hearing the fleet had many 100,000 miles on them without a single flaw. This kind of testing is wisely done by all manufacturer's prior to production runs. I'm sure there's a blog somewhere on line about this. If I run across it I'll post it here.
Jeff PS My only beef with the CVT is dead stop acceleration being a little slow off the line. However the Murano is no dog with a 0 to 60 @ 7.5ish seconds. |

Re: Murano Transmission
well i have only heard positive reviews about the CVT. it probably won't be bad because otherwise i don't think nissan would still be putting it in their cars if it had problems.

I had an incidence of no reverse about 2 weeks ago-the engine wouldn't rev above 1500 RPM backing up my driveway (it is on a hill). I tried numerous times, then turned the car off and on again and it worked. The computer threw a code indicating a problem with the transmission pressure sensor, and Nissan told my dealer to replace the transmission. The car went in this morning, I get it back maybe Wednesday. Up till now, no problems and I do love the vehicle. I hope this helps |

Re: Murano Transmission
a co worker has a 2005 and he has had the transmission back to the dealer 3 different times, big problems for him lost vehicle for 3 days each time. dont know what they did but seems ok now. this could be just one of those lemons like any car could be.
