STALLS: THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR STALLS AND THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY,(NOT SURE IF THE REPAIRS WAS REALLY DONE). THE STALLS ARE BECOMING WORSE!!!! PROBLEM: WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AND IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, (AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, IN CITY OR ANYWHERE) THE VEHICLE SPORADICLY STALL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. IF THE ROAD HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE THE STALL IS MORE EMINENT, SO THAT THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY TWO THINGS THAT REMEDY THE SITUATION IS: A) PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE [VERY DANGEROUS->CITY DRIVING], B) TURN THE ENGINE OFF THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE [ALSO VERY DANGEROUS]. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2007 BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE.

MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO STALLS WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. WHEN DRIVING MY CAR RESPONDS AS IF IT IS NOT RECOGNIZING ME PUSHING THE GAS AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT JUMPS TO GET GOING. LIKES ITS CATCHING UP TO THE SPEED AMOUNT I PRESSED WHEN PUSHING THE GAS. WHEN I AM SITTING STILL MY CAR DOES NOT MOVE IN IT STALLS IN ANY DIRECTION (MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD) FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN JERKS WHEN ITS READY. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TURNING OR STATIONARY. WHENEVER THE CAR IS STARTED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 09V169000 THIS REPORT EXPLAINS MY ISSUES WITH MY CAR EXACTLY.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCLERATE THE REVS TO 3000 RPM AND NOT GAIN ANY SPEED, YOU HAVE PUSH AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO MAINTAIN ANY KIND OF FORWARD MOMENTUM THE CAR CAN MUSTER. I DONT KNOW WHY THE CAR WILL NOT GAIN ANY SPEED. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ON A BUSY ROADWAY.I HAVE READ MANY OTHER POST ABOUT SIMILIAR ISSUE LIKE MINE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CVT ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING FOR US CAR OWNERS, THE CAR ONLY HAS 91000 MILES ON IT AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE OCURRING IN SO MANY VEHICLES. THEIR SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO HELP THE OWNERS OUT. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY FAULTY AND WILL NOT HOLD UP....

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MIND U A BIG TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME TRAFFIC IS STOP AND GO, AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT FROM MY VEHICLE, LIKE IT LOSS POWER, I THOUGH MAYBE THE GEAR WAS CHANGED, BUT THEN IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOT ONCE OR TWICE, BUT IT'S BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I CONFIRMED THAT THE GEAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AS I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR MY VEHICLE JERKED AS IT PROCEEDED TO TAKE OFF (AS IF IT WAS IN TURBO BOOST), I COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR (GOOD THING I DIDN'T). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER MANY, MANY LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS MATTER HAVE NOT RAISED CORPORATE EYES AT NISSAN . THE REASON FOR THIS PAGE IS FOR CONSUMERS TO REPORT COMPLAINTS BUT IT SEEMS AS IF I'M NOT GETTING THE ANSWERING THAT'S NEEDED TO FIX THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND NOR ARE THE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE LISTED THEIR COMPLAINTS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED AFTER PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES BY HAVING/CAUSING ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS SCARY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I GET NERVOUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND OR THE EXPRESSWAY NOT KNOWING WHEN THIS FAULTY POWER TRAIN ISSUE WILL HAPPEN. GOOD THING THAT BIG TRUCK DIDN'T RUN INTO THE BACK OF ME THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO JEOPARDIZE THEIR LIVES AND OTHERS. NISSAN SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. HOW AND WHEN IS IT DETERMINED ON WHAT COMPLAINT GET ADDRESSED. DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER. ALSO, THE ACTUATORS ON MY PASSENGER SIDE BOTH FRONT AND BACK DOES NOT WORK THEY HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY ALONG WITH THE HATCH IT DOESN'T SEEM TO LOCK EITHER. THE ACTUATORS SHOULD NOT GO OUT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.
