What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan murano. The contact stated that there were unusual fumes being emitted into the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that there was a leak within the head gasket. As a result, the head gasket and transfer case needed to be replaced. The remedy did not repair the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and offered to make the additional repairs at no cost.
Nissan murano transfer case design flaw: I purchased a new 2010 murano sl in june 2010. Vehicle was great until warranty expired. Just found out that the transfer case is leaking and could cause transmission failure and an accident if not fixed. According to 2 different nissan mechanics (both from different dealerships), this transfer case has a 'tab' that pushes against the engine block creating this issue and leaks.
