| For those of you that have read my other thread I have been looking for anyone that had a vibration feeling in a 2009 Murano LE. I have come to the conclusion that it is not a vibration or from the tires now. After the dealer installed 4 new tires last week I still had this vibration/jerking problem. My best friend who has been a GM mechanic for over 25 years drove my Murano the other night and said the it not a Vibration you are feeling it is a Jerking from your CVT. After many road test and 200 plus miles I agree with him. When I am driving and I reach speeds of 20 mph up to 60 mph the Murano starts this jerking back and forth and you can feel it is the seat. It is like you were driving a standard shift vehicle and you shifted into a higher gear and you were not at the right speed so the car starts jerking. I drove on roads that we flat and smooth in drive when I reach the above mentioned speeds the Murano starts jerking it is really bad at 42-50. When I get up to 60 mph and put it in natural it goes away no jerking just a nice smooth ride. When I get to speed above 60 smooth no jerking! I have also tried press the lock out of the overdrive and the jerking goes away. Are any of the other 09 Murano LE owners feeling this? I have been speaking to a guy that I meet from another forum and he is not having the jerking problem he is have a vibration. Can anyone help???? I have an appointment tomorrow with the service manager. When I bought my last 2006 SL I was not sure I was going to like the CVT and I loved it. Never any jerking/vibration it was the BEST vehicle that I have ever owned. I was looking forward to owing a 2009 thinking it could only be better then the 06 WOW was I wrong. I know that Nissan made changes to the CVT probably to get better gas mileage but this jerking feeling is enough to drive it off a bridge. I am not real happy with this Murano! I hope it can be fixed. Thanks for any input you have. |

| No jerking in my 09 LE. I have 3000 miles on it now. It does seem to surge every once in a while but only when I am going between neutral and drive and I think it's me mashing on the gas while simultaneously flicking the lever into D. Other than that, no problems with the CVT. I would be taking that thing back to the dealer pronto and taking the tech for a test drive. If they can't fix it--do what I did with my Toyota: Go to another dealer and have their shop check it out. Good luck and hang in there. It's a great car! |

| Busted Yuppie..... why the need to throw it between N and D often? |

I don't do it all that often. Usually when I back out of the garage and I'm sitting there idling letting the oil move around a little before taking off in the morning. Or, if I'm in heavy traffic like I was on my way to Whistler, BC last week in all that road construction and frequent stopping. If I was stopped there for more than 30 seconds or so I'd flick it into neutral. It's my old-school automotive training for slush pump trannies where the old guys in baggy pants said to put 'em in neutral if you were idling for a long time for a little more AT longevity.
Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't depending on my mood and if I remember what the AT Yoda told me. :cool: |

| As an update to my jerking!! I spent 1.5 hours with a Sr. Tech today we drive my Murano and then a New one. Mine has the jerking at speeds above 20 real bad at 40-50 the new one was smooth. They called Nissan and they want me to run 3 or 4 tanks of premium fuel they said that the o2 sensor could be acting up causing this jerking. They told me that the Murano running at 40-50 mph is where the fuel economy is happening I have never heard of this but I am willing to try after this if it does not go away the Murano will! |

Could this be engine missing once in a while? I am wondering if there is a loose vacume hose, or more likely the breather hose where it connects to the intake manifild is somehow loose, torn, has a pin hole, or something that let's unmetered air get into the engine.
Some first generation MOs have had this problem where the air hose comes off and creates all sort of jerkiness. I would definitely check into that.
