Afternoon all, Firstly, a big thank you to this community. I'm in the process of buying a used 2012 Murano (138,000 km) and the information I've found on this website has been invaluable. I was due to buy the vehicle tomorrow but after a pre-purchase inspection today, the mechanic has flagged...

2012 Nissan Murano SL; 136,000 miles Did not previously have any problems, but started having some while on a long road trip recently. On day two of driving a couple hours, I noticed that the car stopped shifting from drive to overdrive once at speeds over 65 mph. The first time this happened...

Hello, asking for comments on what happens when the CVT finally fails. For those that have had the transmission completely fail while driving, will it lock up, take out or damage the transfer, half shafts, etc. Nissan dealer and independent garage has confirmed the transmission is failing by...

My ever-dependable Murano started acting up 250 miles from home in Reno NV yesterday. Drove up to Mt Rose summit (8000 ft) & noticed it seemed sluggish with one instance of slight hesitation. Then it would lose power after a stop. Dealer here diagnosed it & the transmission needs replacing...

Hello! I have an 05 Murano with 143K miles on it. It’s the AWD version. After about a 2 hour drive with some steep hills, after I get off the highway, my car makes a loud winding noise when accelerating and then continues after i release the gas pedal until i come to a complete stop. I drive...

Hey all, recently had my CVT fluid drained and filled, the 5 quarts not the flush. This was about I'd say 1 month ago. As of 4 days ago I was going to check under my car to make sure the oil leak I've always had has not gotten worst. I had noticed that there seemed to be leakage next to the CVT...

Hey everyone, heading to the dealer to get my well needed CVT fluid drain and fill(I don't know if it was ever done in the previous ownership). I was quoted $284, does this seem about accurate for a drain and fill price? Another question. I have plugged in my wireless OBD2 and used the CVTZ50...

I have about 130k miles and lately, I've noticed when I'm going 65-70 mph, particularly uphill, the RPM fluctuates between 2750/3000. I first noticed this while using cruise control but the issue also occurs when driving normally. Obviously the engine is working harder to maintain speed while...

Hey everyone! I have a 09 murano with almost 130k miles on it. Looking at the records this car from what I've seen has never had a CVT fluid drain and fill. I've seen that people have changed their fluids at 30k miles, 80k miles, and some have never even touched it. I've recently checked my CVT...

Hi Guys Long story short.. During the month of April noticed oil drops (1 drop / 3 days) at the parking spot. First thought was that during the oil change at Nissan dealer ( done on April 9, 2020) they forgot to tight the oil-drain bolt. Honestly I was confident that it's the main reason as...

Hi Anyone with cvt problems??? I read that cvt on z52, are better than z51 y z50 Really?? I AM very worried. I bought my z52 2016, 15.000 molles. All is ok. Thanks Regards from Chile, southamerica

Back again, lol. It's been a while since I've had a problem. Couple days ago I noticed when coming to a stop, around 8mph or so there's a whirr or that's what it sounds like. Once almost to a stop it feels as if the CVT disengages and the whir stops. Also, when in drive as the car is idling I...

My 2015 Murano started randomly juddering and vibrating the gas pedal when accelerating from a stop or when passing on the interstate. On a recent interstate drive, the RPM needle bounced around more than expected and it seemed like the transmission was slipping. Did some looking and came...
