| Description of the problem | Bought 2004 murano 31 jan 2005. Drive vehicle to/from work each day, 740 per week. By may had put 12,000 miles on car. One day started my car, the service engine soon (ses) light came on and the car was sluggish. Turned off the engine and back on, sluggishness diminished, light remained. Took car to dealership, light went off just prior to bringing in. Was told the light was because gas cap not on tight enough, so shop did an oil change. Few weeks later, light came on again, brought to another shop. Said it was problem with the throttle control system, that it would take days to get a part & they could not give loaner or rental. Husband consulted owner of dealership who suggested repair team take the part off a 2004 car on the lot to fix mine immediately. Over the next two months, the ses light came on 3 more times. The 1st time was told it was just "old codes. 2nd time, cleared codes and told me not to worry about ses light. Car would not pass inspection with ses light on, so when it came on 3rd time day before inspection, returned to the dealer and was told the throttle control needed "adjusting". Got the car inspected. 6 days later, ses light came on again when leaving work to drive 74 miles home, sluggishness that prompted first throttle repair returned. Could not reach or maintain speed of the flow of traffic. Car at shop since 05 aug 2005 because of "problem" with throttle control in series of 2004 muranos that mine came from. There¿ |
