Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. While driving out of the driveway at about 5 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning.

What I'm experiencing, I lose acceleration power when the car is in drive. Tthe car stalls and will not move forward when I press the accelerator down to the floor, yet the engine and electrical maintain its power. When the car stalls, I press the peddle serval times and the rpms doesn't accelerate up expect when I place the car in park. When I place the car in park the acceleration power resumes, but once in drive there's no power again. I experience the problem the most when my air condition or heater is running. When I turn off the air conditioner the acceleration power resumes, but spotters. Strange!!!

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 get hit by a vehicle while attempting to get to a safe place. Where the incident occurred the are concrete barriers due to the expansion work being done on highway 4 west bound. Pittsburgh 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 $ 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.

The intake air ducts, which are connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This separation occurs due to the premature aging of the material used in the intake air ducts which causes excessive shrinking.
