Vehicle will not accelerate. I will drive it a few miles, and it will be just fine. I drive it more, and it will stall and not accelerate. In fact, on 6/30/25, I was getting on the highway and it wouldn't accelerate and 8 warning lights came on. It has a brand new battery, alternator, idle sensor, and throttle position sensor. My dad and grandpa both know a lot about cars, and they are at a loss.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the same diagnostic test result was provided and the contact was informed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Vehicle jerked and drove erratically. Would slowly stall and would not move while accelerating
When stepping on the gas after stopping at a stop light or similar situation, the car acts like it's stalling for 2 - 3 seconds before finally going forward. It's intermittent. I've been told by the Nissan dealership that when they did the diagnostic check, that the error code P0868 came up long enough to be caught for the report but did not stop at that error code. This error code says it's "Fluid pressure low". My Nissan advisor said that it is not a hard failure because it did not stop at this error. However, they do recommend that the transmission be replaced. I have been reading a lot online about other Murano owners having this similar issue or an issue with their transmission. I had it at the dealership twice before this last result I mentioned above.
After multiple repairs the brake light and battery light continue to come on. My vehicle turned off while driving. I believe it's a faulty voltage regulator for the alternator. This seems to be a common issue for my type vehicle.
Vehicle has had to have motor in the engine replace. The CVT transmission completely stopped working causing the vehicle to stall and break down while driving on the highway. The electrical in the car went out and the car is no longer able to operate.
My car stalled on me when in motion and wont go past 7mph, and eventually lose power and drain my battery. I took it for repair bought a new alternator,replaced the alternator it still drain and damage the battery. I have to go buy another battery, a brand new battery and in no time drained the battery again. This happens when the car is running regardless if anything is turned on or not.
