| Description of the problem | The first time that this issue happened i was driving down a mountain with lots of curves when the car lost power. I would press on the gas pedal but the car would not respond as i started to head into a curve all the lights in my center console came on and the car shut itself off. I quickly proceeded to put the car in neutral with one hand and with the other on the steering wheel driving the vehicle as i was going around a sharp curve. I was able to start it up again but this was in my opinion very dangerous. I took it to the nissan dealership and they could not figure out what the issue. Some months later i was driving around town and my murano would not move even though i was pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor i pulled over to inspect the engine compartment to see if i could fined the problem. Finally after about 45 min. It regained the ability to move again. I have taken it to different mechanics but they have not been able to get a code for this problem and all i keep hearing from them is to continue to drive it until it gets worse. As i have stated before i find this issue to be very dangerous and that is why i send nissan an email to let them know about my dissatisfaction with their product and to let them know that i will never again purchase another nissan product. |
