| Description of the problem | Nissan murano 2003 has problem with pressure sensor inside transmission. This causes the vehicle to hesitate, 10-15 seconds before you can accelerate. This only started 2 weeks ago and i have 89k miles on it. I almost was stuck by an oncoming vehicle due to the hesitation. There are many more stories like mine on edmunds. Com. Nissan does not acknowledge any problem with the transmission but clearly states that the defect was corrected in the later models. Big safety issue, please look into this asap before someone is killed. |
