I was driving my car and the engine acted like it was going to stall and wouldn't respond by giving it gas. Then it just lurched forward abrubtly and began to run normally. Then after about 2 more blocks while we're going 45 MPH it completely stalled out in the middle lane of a 3 lane road. This caused the car behind me to almost rearend us but the cars behind them actually did get into a crash trying to stop from hitting them. Thankfully a police car was a few cars back and was able to put their lights on and push my car out of traffic because we couldn't even get out of the car with cars whizzing past us on both sides. Thank god or we could've been involved in a multiple car crash and one of us could have gotten hurt. This happened on 07/13/18. I paid about $600 to replace the alternator and fix something in the cooling system. Now it is only a month later, 08/15/18, and it's done it again. It stalled in the middle of a construction zone driving 35mph while taking my child to school causing traffic to back up. The cars were driving through the construction cones/signs to our right illegally or they were driving down the shared turn lane on our left to get around me. About 200 cars drove past us without bothering to offer help and even after calling 911 for help, it took them almost an hour to show up and once again had to push us off the road to safety. This is creating a huge safety concern. I saw recall 09v169000 for similar or same issue for my model/year but when I look up my VIN it says I have no recalls. I had spent almost $1300 about 3-4 yrs ago to fix this very same "stalling while driving" issue and thought I was past all this. Now I'm back to square 1 and issue still exists! Why is this nissan murano flaw not covered for all murano's with this problem? Pease research my VIN# and see if it can be included in the recall before one of us gets seriously hurt?

I bought my 05 murano from the dealership for $6000 and I only drove it for 3 months before the alternator and the transmission went. I paid $600 for the alternator to be repaired and 2 weeks later the transmission went. The dealership said that it would cost me $4200 to fix the transmission. They refused to give me any sort of discount. I got 3 months out of a $6000+ dollar car. I am so upset this has caused so many problems in my life in so many ways. I can't believe nissan is morally ok with ripping me off like this.

Vehicle takes minutes to pick up speed especially true when it is on a stop position either in an intersection or traffic light intersection. I put my foot on the gas and press all the way down where it slowly moves, pick up a speed and do the same thing for each stop sign or traffic stop light. When starting the vehicle, it makes a screeching sound. If able to drive, steering wheel sometimes have that slight shaking. We have been experiencing these issues for more than a year now. Tires were changed and brakes changed but issues still a big concern.

Fuel sensor says car is on empty but will never fill up past 1/2 tank. Alternator is out now & bad vibration when driving between 60-70mph so could possibly be u joint considering everything else has been done that would correct a vibration

Transmission failure. $173k miles. Will cost $4k to replace. All transmission fluids in good order and good levels. Large nocking on the case, dealer says could go out any moment. Unable to drive due to safety issues. Ridiculous and unsafe. A transmission should not go out like this.
