| Description of the problem | My 2009 nissan murano will hesitate for 10-20 seconds while i driving down the road or heading up hill. I took it to the escondido nissan dealership and they stated that my transmission needed to be replaced. They replaced it at a great cost to me, but i am experiencing the same hesitation. It is dangerous because my car will stop for no good reason, causing those behind me to have to slam on their brakes. Nissan states that because i received an upgraded transmission and upgraded parts, i can expect this sort of hesitation from here on out. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle and nissan is not repairing my vehicle in order to make it safe. |
