2004 murano cvt

[jima]

ok i read all the bad things about 03-04 cvt and trans case my question is how can you tell if the cvt or the trans case has been change. The reason i ask is i am thinking of getting a 04 but it has 89000 miles on it and it looks like new and its for a real good price and it drives perfect but after reading all this i am not so sure any thaughts thanks.

Have your Nissan dealer check the VIN number and they can tell you any warranty work that has been done. I believe they can also provide a print-out.

I would check at any Nissan dealer, just get the vin #.
at least you know you have 3 years or another 31000k warranty on
CVT. but I strongly recommend you to get some kind of warranty if youre
buying a used Murano.

I bought mine, an 03 in august of last year, and last week I took it to Nissan
because was doing a weird noise, (i thought it was coming from the engine)
they told me transfer case had to be replaced. $3590 for parts and labor.
well I have no choice but to fix it, they also found the power steering high pressure hose leaking fluid and bad lower control arms, right and left, and if you do some more research here you will notice that all these three problems are very common on first gen muranos. I would take it for an inspection before buying it, else youre gonna be spending money on repairs like I am.

i check the front end and when i drove it it had no noise and no shake i jacked it up and tryed to move everything and it was solid. the front end does not worrie me its the cvt and trans case that does this thing is in such good shape it is scary

don't live in fear, the mo is a great car, if these problems happen you have to deal with it, get a print out if possible that can give you some peace if there was work done, i didn't let the bad luck of some sway me from buying...........but i am putting in a new engine, sort of wish (knock on wood ) it was just a transfer case.
