| Description of the problem | After driving for about 20 minutes, my car won't react to my gas pedal. It hesitates, then lurches before finally catching up to speed. I've gone online and found that countless murano owners have had the same front transfer case problems in their late model cars and that nissan refuses to do a recall although toyota has for similar issues. This is a defect which they apparently corrected in their newer models, but continues to be a serious safety issue for those of us who own 2004 models or older. |
