Vehicle had less than 70000 when cvt transmission started to fail. While driving vehicle would shudder, and at time engine would rev at 4000 RPM. Vehicle is still driveable at this time, but is slow to accelerate, and shudders at times. We do not drive the vehicle on the highway any longer for fear the transmission would completely stop working. Was inspected at Nissan dealership and by independent mechanic and both confirm that transmission codes indicate cvt transmission is failing. This is the same issue that the Nissan Murano transmission had in the past which led to a recall which covered model years from 2003 to 2010.

2012 Nissan Murano with 90K miles has almost caused several accidents on the highway due to the cvt transmission jerking and suddenly stopping the car traveling at speeds of 50-65 mph. Due to this unexpected and severe loss of car power I was almost rear ended on multiple occasions. The sudden loss of forward motion due to the defective cvt transmission is completely unsafe for highway speeds.

The cvt transmission is failing. When I try to accelerate it takes a long time to get above 10 mph and sometimes bucks when acceleration starts. There are 117K mike's on my car and I'm so frustrated.

At sporadic times, my 2012 Nissan Murano will hesitate to accelerate from a stopped position. On multiple occasions this has left me stranded for 5-10 seconds in the middle of busy intersections. On two separate occasions (while under warranty) I notified Nissan about the problem. The first time I contacted children Nissan where I purchased the vehicle and was advised to bring the vehicle in when the problem could be replicated or when the check engine light was on. On 3-15-14, I brought the vehicle to autonation Nissan in marietta, ga to have the vehicle inspected and serviced. I discussed the acceleration issue with autonation, but was told to come back when the problem was present or if the check engine light came on. Three separate transmission specialists have diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty cvt transmission. There are numerous documented cases of the Nissan cvt transmissions failing. This problem has become so prevalent that Nissan designed a special 120K-mile warranty for the cvt in the 2003-2010 Nissan Murano vehicles. The problems with my 2012 Murano are identical to those who had issues with the 2003-2010 Murano. Due to the unpredictable nature of the problem, I am unwilling to place my family in danger by driving my Murano. Due to the vehicle now being out of warranty, Nissan has refused to assist with the problem.
