I have been having problems with my car smoking once I start driving. I have to consistently add motor oil and it smokes more. My mechanic tells me he ran two diagnostic tests and nothings coming up. Then my daughter and granddaughter were on rt 130 in pennsauken nj my SUV just stalled and wouldn't let me give it gas. Then it just jumped into gear. It did it twice while cars were speeding by trying to avoid rear ending me. My heart felt like it fell into my seat. I had to put my hazard lights on until I could find a spot to pull in.it happened again the next day. Right now is not the time for this to happen. I have transport my motherto her heart doctor appointments. However I too scared to drive.

My murano has been stalling to pick up speed have replaced over $1500 in parts. But still cant locate the problem, at the mechanic shop they said it could be the solenoid sensor but they dont know if it could be it.when driving on highway sometimes it will not pick up speed and will only drive 30 to 40 MPH. Other times while driving on highway it will stay at 60mph and will not go over. The engine looks a bit shifted as well I don't know what could have caused it. And it makes a really ugly loud squick that we have been trying to fix but don't know if it could be because of engine shift.no accidents issue has been going on for more than 3 months.

While driving the car will stall and not keep up with the speed I am doing . While entering the highway I need to accelerate and increase speed the vehicle will appear to be at the speed via the speedometer but it will lag and shutter and pause, causing cars to have to slam on breaks or quickly move to another lane because my vehicle cannot keep up with the flow of traffic. It is not safe on highway or on street. I've have kept up with regular tune ups, oils changes and new tires . Recently got a tune up and the issue still persist . Very scary.

While driving the vehicle it may randomly stall causing the motor to shut down while the car is in use making it very unsafe. Also random over heating and stalling I've changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor also the radiator and the thermostat nothing fixes it. There was a recall on my vehicle but I need to be put on the list I was left out.

From time to time the vehicle unexpectedly stalls. Engine does not die but power to transmission is lost. Vehicle will not rev unless it is put into park or neuteral. When transmission is engaged stepping on the accelerator produces no rpms. Vehicle costs to side of road and problem is sometimes remidied with shutting off the engine and restarting other times I have had to have it towed to a repair shop where I have been told there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.

Vehicle sporadically stalls upon attempting to accelerate under normal driving conditions. Operator must apply more pressure to the gas pedal than necessary to enter traffic because it will not respond fast enough to uncoming traffic.

My car stalls while driving when the air intake comes loose. This is happening constantly. I have narrowly escaped 2 accidents. The car was in motion both times. I now have to make sure this connection is secure by stopping every few miles of driving and each time before I start out for the day.
