Nissan Murano CVT Transmission

• CVT Failure

  Written by: sgtrock62 on Oct 22, 2011 4:44:25 PM

  I have a 2010 Nissan Murano with 40'000 miles. The CVT just went out on it. Nissan is replacing it with a new one. It seems like everything I've read seems to indicate that once you replace the transmission, you will have problems from there on out. Has anyone had theirs replaced and had no more problems?

  mikesmurano claims: "Be warry! These cars are very problematic." Not true. Folks, mikesmurano has been spamming this forum for many months now with false claims about the Murano because of his rare bad experience. HIS car may have been problematic, and a very few other folks may have, but both Consumer Reports and JD Powers say otherwise, giving the Murano high marks for reliability and quality. For example, you can see ... Read More

  Be careful. There are a lot of exclusions in the Murano CVT warranties. The statistics seem to be climbing now in the 2009 & 2010 Muranos. The CVT's continue to display the same problem as in earlier models. Be warry! These cars are very problematic.

  Its not an option for the 2010 model year Murano ( unless its changed in April). Go to a dealer and try and ask for it or find one on a vehicle. see what happens. Not an option for 2010 model year.
