| Description of the problem | On busy fast california freeway when traffic slowed, so did i, then i went to speed up to keep up with traffic and my car would not move. I was pressing accelerator and my car literally was not moving! My check service engine light came on (no warning, just now) i was so scared! I put my hazards on, and i had to drive a few miles going 25 mph, and making my way across lanes to get off the freeway to safety. Once off freeway i pulled over and turned car off. When assistance arrived my nissan murano started fine and appeared ok. I drove to hotel and as i was in the middle of a busy intersection making a left turn, i pressed the accelerator and my car did not move! It then stalled and by now the light turned red and i was sitting in the middle of the intersection! I started my car and it zoomed pretty quick. Problem is, i cannot drive a car i cannot trust. This is a death trap waiting to happen. I noticed so many others have experienced this, so i wonder why this vehicle was never recalled for this?? I have maintained my murano very good, i have always backed and believed in nissan- now i wonder. On xma eve it did this, as i went to proceed on a green light. It was night, raining, windy and my car finally died. I put on hazards, but i was in dangerous location- in middle of road. I got out of my car and waited for help. |
