| Description of the problem | My 06 murano sl began to lose pressure on the gas pedal and stall. At first it felt like someone had bumped into me, but after noticing that the car behind me had not. I tried to move on with the traffic. I put on my hazards and came to a complete stop but was not able to accelerate by using the gas pedal. Then my vehicle began to drive on its own lucky for me the traffic in front of me began to move. The vehicle came to a complete stop in the middle of the highway while i tried to move over to the emergency lane. I place the vehicle in park and then in drive. When i pressed on the gas pedal it would not move once again even when pressing the pedal to the floor. I tried to move the vehicle while in the lower gear and second gear just to get out the middle of the highway and it still would not move. Then out of know where it began to drive on its own again without me pressing on the gas pedal. That allowed me to make it over to the emergency lane. Again lucky for me i was able to make my way through the stand still traffic. Once in the emergency lane the vehicle stopped. I put it in park then pressed on the gas pedal and the engine would rev up. Then i thought ok it will move now, but then the vehicle began to drive itself in reverse while in the drive position. I called my motor club and had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. The technician stated that two of my transmission hoses blew and the vehicle lost all its fluid and it would cost me $711 to fix this problem not including any damage to the transmission. Now the dealership is trying to say that i have a leak at my engine rubber o ring. At the time of the incident my vehicle has 82k miles. Although i have quite a few miles on my vehicle i have maintained all of my required maintenance as scheduled. Something should be done about the vehicle stalling and driving on its own. I had no warning. This is a very dangerous situation not having control over the vehicle. |
