Nissan Murano CVT transmission failure at 112,000 miles, replaced with rebuilt transmission costing 7,500 on Nissan Murano

Some Nissan Murano owners report experiencing CVT transmission failures around 112,000 miles, often leading to costly replacements with rebuilt transmissions that can exceed $7,500. These failures may be attributed to issues such as juddering, shaking, hesitation to accelerate, and complete or premature breakdowns. To avoid these expensive repairs, owners are advised to heed early warning signs of transmission problems, including shuddering, stalling, whining noises, fluid leaks, low transmission fluid, unusual sounds, poor gear engagement, and unexpected surges. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as changing the CVT fluid and filters every 30,000 miles, can help extend the lifespan of the transmission system.
