2015 Nissan Murano Engine Problems

“Sluggish acceleration and shuddering at speeds below 35 MPH. I am not sure what is causing it but it almost acts like it could die. I release my foot from the gas pedal and then push it again to get the hesitation to stop and continue driving. This has happened more than 4 times since I bought the vehicle in april 2019.”

“At 20k miles in our 2015 Nissan Murano, we experienced the car chugging at speeds under 15mph, turning a corner, accelerating from a stop. The chugging was followed by engine revving. This was followed 2 days later by complete failure while driving at highway speeds. The car would not accelerate at all. It had to be towed to the dealership. The service engine light came on after the engine failed. Nissan cannot determine a cause and is replacing the transmission”

“My car that had less than 60,000 miles on it has had to have the antilock brake system replaced, the transmission replaced, the leather seats have tears on both sides of the rear seat, the windshield has over a dozen chips in it and most recently, when driving, my gas gauge went to empty although I had just filled it up less than 16 hours earlier and had not done any driving. I pulled over on the side of the highway, turned my car off and back on and the gauge reset itself. My car is now out of warranty and I'm waiting for the next major thing to happen.”

“Cvt shudders at low speeds 20 - 40 MPH, the feeling is as if the gears are jamming and banging against each other; immediately releasing accelerator and pressing for harder acceleration temporary suppresses this behavior. Any inclines where car slows down and RPM falls can lead to reoccurrence of the same. Happens 2/3 times when these conditions described above happen. I believe the 'd'-step artificial shifter technology is going out of sync with rest of transmission rotation speed and causing the gears to grind during those d-step adjustments.”

“While driving down the highway 5/10/26, the vehicle completely shut down at 75 MPH. The dash went black, everything shut down, and the steering wheel locked. No warning lights came on. I immediately hit the brakes and tried to veer to the right. Luckily, I was in the right lane and was able to get to the edge of the shoulder. My son and I sat there in shock. A few seconds later, I hit the ignition button, and the vehicle started right back up. My son and I were terrified by this. We could have been killed by someone hitting us.”
