I own a 2004 Nissan Murano sl and have had troubles with vehicle hesitation for quite some time now. It seems to be most present when in stop and go traffic and the engine is warm. After approximately 10mins of stop and go, the gas pedal does not respond for a few seconds and the vehicle suddenly lunges forward aggressively presenting a very dangerous situation. The dealership does not know what is causing this but numerous reports on the internet point to a valve body malfunction.
Having issues with engine mounts. Had one replaced last November and getting two more next week. Purchased under extended warranty so everything is covered but concerned about when warranty expires. Want to know if others are having this problem.
Twice in the last two weeks my 2004 Nissan Murano has had a complete computer failure, resulting in loss of both steering and brakes. The computer failure only occurs when turning the car on. Turning the car off and on again appears to "reset" the computer. I have taken the car to the Nissan dealership and have been told that because the problem did not occur in their presence, there was nothing they could do about it therefore there was no repair or replacement of any parts. Because there is no specific "event" which leads to this problem, I am left to drive a car with a serious malfunction which may in turn cause an accident resulting in bodily injury to myself or others.
While driving 35 mph on a down hill slope engine seized. As a result, power steering and brakes failed.
