NHTSA Complaint #10425925 — 2003 NISSAN MURANO

WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTED ACTING UP I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT ALL OF A SUDDED STARTED STALLING. I HAD TO PRESS THE DRIVING PEDDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN IT WOULD TAKE OFF WITH A VERY HARD JOLT. THIS WOULD HAPPEN OFF AND ON ESPECIALLY IF I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR CAME TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD STALL BEFORE TAKING OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DELEARSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR THREE DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. THIS IS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 120,000 MILES. THEY SAID THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO DO IT WHILE IN THER SHOP OR THEY COULD DO NOTHING. I JUST FOUND IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE CAR SHOWED NO SIGNES OF DOING ANYTHING THAT I DESCRIBED WHILE THEY HAD IT AND DROVE IT FOR THREE DAYS. WELL OF COURSE I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REPAIR ON IT ALONE WAS GOING TO COST ME 3600.00 ALL BY ITSELF. THE CAR WAS DOING THE VERY SAME THING WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THEM THE FIRST TIME BUT SURPRISINGLY AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS OFF THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN FOUND THE PROBLEM. SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND GET THESE SITUATIONS UNDER WARRANTY SO THAT THESE CARS CAN BE FIXED PROPERLY. ITS NOT FAIR TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY TO TAKE IT BACK TO THEM FOR THE EXACT SAME THING AND THEY TELL YOU THAT THE REPAIR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND YOU NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
