| Description of the problem | I was driving my car on the highway for about 15 miles. Once i exited the highway and stopped my car did not want to accelerate. It stalled until i approached my destination. I tried putting transmission fluid in the vehicle as it read it was low which is odd because it hasn't been a month since i've gotten an oil change. So much difficulty getting up hills. Once i'm able to get going the car would accelerate, however once im at a stop it takes over 15 seconds to actually pick up speed. This has happened multiple times while driving which is extremely dangerous to myself and other drivers. This seems to be a known issue in older model muranos that has yet to be recalled. I have no warranty left on the vehicle which means i am at a lost. I've only had this vehicle for 6 months and i've kept up on all oil changes and keep up with the vehicle. This faulty cvt nearly cost me and my children's life. They really should fix this issue as a part of a recall |
