general problems of the 2012 Nissan Murano

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.

Timing chain.

On June 25th I was going down a very steep hill in guttenberg NJ,07093 when about three quarters down the hill my 212 Nissan Murano convertible's engine stopped with no warning. Thank god the light ahead was green and I was able to turn the wheel just enough to avert crashing into a fence and go over an embankment. The car rolled to a stop and I wound up in middle of traffic whose light was then green coming at me from north and south. . I wrote to the us global headquarters in California and spoke several times to Nissan's regional office in tennessee. The car has been at local dealership since June 25 and they say if they can't duplicate the problem I will have to take car . But that is unacceptable because it is not safe and I cannot in good faith sell it to anyone else. Ca you please help me. I am a professor at teachers college in nyc and use the car to travel to the college in the spring and fall semesters. I have special parking privilege because I cannot take public transportation due to a disability. I sincerely hope to hear frfom you. Thank you, sincerely, (xxxxx) p. S. I found 20 other people on the internet who reported their engines stopped while in motion - I send copies to all parties at Nissan but they said OH they are different models (no they were not - all Murano's and different years (but 2012 was included among them redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

Car turned off all together while in drive.

1st incident- driving on main street of town hwy 31 s, car simply quit while in motion, while driving- no warning, no lights. Could not move, start etc. . Had to call police to assist me in getting the car out of the main highway. 2nd incident- driving on i65 s interstate, doing 70mph, car quit while driving! had to throw on flashers and coast it into the median, the cops were called and had to have it towed to mechanic. My daughter and I were both in the car and could have been seriously injured or killed. - called Nissan to report, they advised they knew of no recalls. And were unconcerned just advised to take to mechanic- where it was. 3rd- car is now doing the same, will loose power when turning, and going up hills- always loses power/dies when in motion.
