Nissan Murano Power Train Safety Report | Jan 10, 2014
Reported on Jan 10, 2014
| I'VE HAD A PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED MANY TIMES BY FELLOW MURANO OWNERS. AFTER DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING WAY DOWN FOR TRAFFIC OR WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY THE THROTTLE BECOMES VERY UNRESPONSIVE. IT LAGS AND THEN SURGES. THIS PROBLEM WAS APPARENT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO OCCURS OCCASIONALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC, WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP NEAR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. (FAIL SAFE MODE?) RECYCLING THE IGNITION FIXES THE PROBLEM, AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER, BUT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT SERVICES MY CAR HAS NOT INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE DETECTED ANY PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS ARE BEGINNING TO GIVE OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. | |
