NHTSA Complaint #10731079 — 2004 NISSAN MURANO

THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP AT TIMES. SEEMS MORE OFTEN TO HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS WARM AND HAS BEEN IN USE FOR A MIN OF 30 MIN. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED 1/4 OR 1/2 OR EVEN TO THE FIREWALL. SOMETIME THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AND GIVE IMPRESSION THAT IT WILL RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL INPUT BUT THEN STALL ( MOTOR DOES NOT STOP BUT FORWARD MOTION DOES). THE REAL PROBLEM IS WHEN CROSSING MOVING TRAFFIC WITH THE TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH THAT I PULL OUT AND THEN STALL. ITS RUSSIAN ROULETTE. NISSAN DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE X,Y OR Z AND I CANNOT START TO CHANGE PARTS WHERE NISSAN CANNOT AFFIRM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS IN MY OPINION CLOSE TO A "DEATH TRAP" DUE TO THIS STALLING. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE ITS THE TRANSMISSION AS SOMETIME IT WORKS FINE. COMPONENT OF CAUSATION IS UNKNOWN BUT WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED BY NOW OR WILL IT TAKE A DEATH TO GET THE WHEELS IN MOTION.
