| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 nissan murano sl and have had troubles with vehicle hesitation for quite some time now. It seems to be most present when in stop and go traffic and the engine is warm. After approximately 10mins of stop and go, the gas pedal does not respond for a few seconds and the vehicle suddenly lunges forward aggressively presenting a very dangerous situation. The dealership does not know what is causing this but numerous reports on the internet point to a valve body malfunction. |
