Inquirying minds need to know before I write the big cheque.

hey dave im a nissan tech and first they are great trucks. i will let you know what the common problems are , the fuel door accuator is going to drive you crazy , and the cd player is not the best for cd-rw's and the tire pressure sensor light . thats about it as far as the cvt trans i havent seen any problems yet. the cvt trans is very simple in fact if you play golf the cart you putt around in has a cvt trans which consist of a driven belt and pulleys . which is simular to whats in the cvt trans from nissan except the murranos trans has a steel belt that drives the pulley the pulley diameter is almost cone shaped and as engine rpm goes up so does the belt to the larger diameter giving smooth seemless acceleration. i takes a while to get use to it
