We bought a used 2004 SL AWD with 14,000 miles on it back in July. About 2 weeks ago my wife told me she heard a clicking noise early in the morning that would go away after driving it a bit. Over the weekend I used the Murano and notice the noise never went away.
Thursday 9-1-05 I took it into the dealer to have it checked it out and to get the alternator replaced. First they reported they did not hear anything and that everything was normal. I then took the mechanic for a ride and he then heard the noise. He put it on a lift and about an hour later came back and told me it was a bearing in the CVT and that they must replace the transmission. He told me Nissan does not let them work on the transmission and a new one will be put in it and it should take about a week to complete.
They are covering it under warranty and they gave me a rental (Grand Prix that I hate) and assured me that it is not common and only the 2nd CVT replacement they have done.
I will post an update when we get it back.
