| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan murano. The first time it the engine failed was on my way home from work. I started the car and it shuttered a little, then stopped. I restarted the car after waiting a few seconds and it kept running just fine. On my way home, i stopped off at a local store to run an errand. When i attempted to start my car again, it shuttered and shook, then shut off. I attempted a second time to start the car, but it wouldn't "turn over". The car was towed to browns nissan of arlington in virginia, where we bought the vehicle 2 years ago. They could not get the car started either, proceeded to push the car into the garage, and then miraculously, it started up as if nothing was wrong! This morning, my husband went to start the car for me because it was cold and the engine failed again. We plan to call the dealership, as they have promised to incur any towing costs in order to get the car into the shop. Regardless, we are taking it back, even if we can get it to start. |
