Automatic Transmission problems of the 2006 Nissan Murano

I was driving on the freeway at 8:30 pm when my vehicle began to lose power and stalling, it finally shut down completely in the fast lane. I frantically tried restart finally it did I was then only able to get the vehicle in the small space between the on ramp and the slow lane of freeway. The traffic was heavy and I almost git hit by a vehicle while attempting to get to to a safe place. Where the incident occurred the are concrete barriers due to the expansion work being done on highway 4 west bound. Pittsburg California. I bought the vehicle brand new on Feb 23, 2006, it has had numerous mechanical defects from day one. In the last 2 years I have spent over $3000. 00 for repairs and last month I brought to the dealer for these problems and they advised me that the vehicle had more repairs that it needed costing $2500. 00. I am at my wits end. I am not working on disability. On the following day the car did it again.

I was about to park the 2006 Murano (sl, awd), about 3 yards from reaching the spot. The car suddenly accelerated forward and hit the concrete wall hard, damaging the front bumper - I could not react to brake the car in time. It's rather scary!.

2006 Nissan Murano, after driving 85 miles continuously on the interstate, when I slowed to merge to another interstate lost all power while trying to accelerate. I was stopped with no emergency lane in a construction area and was lucky to have avoided the others merging and traveling by at 70 m. P. H. ! it eventually gave me some power which I used to exit the interstate and called the local Nissan dealer in des moines. I was able to "limp" the car the 20 minute drive on back roads in des moines where within an hour, the dealer told me I would need a new transmission. After Nissan extends the warranty on this transmission and I have a failed one, it strikes me that a repair/recall should be done on these before an incident like mine occurs. I had three children in the car, with other cars racing by me at high speeds, and I was very fortunate to not have been rear ended. It was daylight and I was able to control the car. . But others might not be as lucky!.

This past week I had two transmission rubber lines break. One on a trip upstate near the delaware water gap. I was able to fix the problem by installing a new rubber line. The old hose just broke off in my hands. We drove home fine. The second time it happened last night, the other hose broke off. The car is now going be towed to the dealership. Transmission fluid is flammable. This is not safe. The car is only two years old and the rubber lines should not break off like they did.
