  Power train

  Takata recall, "i bought a used murano 2008and I think I have the problem cvt transmission issue. I press the gas pedal and the car doesn't move until the rpm IS over 2000 and then it just kinda surges forward a bit. I didn't notice it during the test drive and it just showed up after being stuck in traffic about 1 hrs. I'm a little disappointed, a little mad, a little confused, and everything else! "

  Structure

  I have a new 2008 murano. I've had this particular problem fixed three times and the part IS broken again. I believe it to be a manufacturing defect related to poor design. the charger located on the passenger side of the car below the dashboard pops out of the dash and the wires come out with it. it's very flimsy and poorly designed. *tr
