| Description of the problem | Power loss on take off. Issue has been occurring for over a year and is intermittent. When starting off from a stopped position, ie stop sign, red light, or highway onramp, the vehicle will engage, but immediately loose acceleration. The gas peddle can be fully pressed, with no reaction. After a few seconds the power gets restored and vehicle takes off as if engaging a jet booster. A visit and diagnostic check at a nissan dealer, did not reveal and faults or codes, and issue could not be recreated. This issues is random, and based on a nissan owner forum, i learned it has plagued the murano and is lexis counter part for different model years. No forum entries as to known cause or corrective findings by the dealerships or mechanics. |
