2011 Nissan Murano

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN MURANO SL 2WD AND AM STARTING TO HAVE ACCELERATING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SPECIALLY DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.THE SYMPTOMS ARE WHEN THE VEHICLE WARMS UP AND AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT JUST REFUSES TO MOVE FIR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS THE RPM WILL NOT INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE WILL BARELY MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEMS TO ENGAGE AND LURCH FORWARD.ONE TIME I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO SURFACE STREET TRAFFIC FROM A FREEWAY EXIT .I HAD AMPLE SPACE BETWEEN ME ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BUT MY VEHICLE WAS JUST CRAWLING SLOWLY FORWARD BY WHICH TIME THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ALMOST ON TOP OF ME HONKING AND I WAS BEING CUSSED AT AND ALL FOR A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE DECIDED TO MOVE AND I HAD TO SWERVE RIGHT ON THE SIDE WALK TO PREVENT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND.I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT EARLIER MODELS HAVE A RECALL WITH SAME ISSUES BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE SPECIALLY IF THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL START ACTING UP .I HAVE REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH SENSOR AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT. THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND I DIDN'T JUST GO UNDER AN OVERPASS. UPON INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND NO FOREIGN OBJECTS WERE VISIBLE THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

VEHICLE'S CONVERTIBLE TOP STOPS WORKING (WHILE STATIONARY) IN MID OPERATION WHEN PRESSING BUTTON TO EITHER OPENING OR CLOSING TOP. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE TOP IS STUCK AND DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT IS BEEPING NOTIFYING TOP IS NOT SECURED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND TO PLACE OF PURCHASE (CARMAX). AND IS CURRENTLY AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP NOW AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 4/25/19. AS OF TODAY 6/5/19 THEY HAVE STATED THEIR FINAL ANALYSIS DETERMINES THE WIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP WIRE HARNESS NEEDS REPLACING BECAUSE AFTER MULTIPLE ANALYSIS THEY HAVE DETERMINED THE WIRE HARNESS CAN'T BE REPAIRED AND THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS DECLINING THIS ELECTRICAL REPLACEMENT. THE TOP HAS RANDOMLY GOTTEN STUCK NUMEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE TIMES, WHETHER AT HOME, AT WORK, A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, AT THE GROCERY STORE, AT A STOP LIGHT, ETC., AND I CAN'T CONTINUE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS. SO I'M NOT ABLE TO SAFELY AND CONFIDENTLY USE IT. HELP ME PLEASE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30 AM ON 12/18/17, I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 IN DENVER, CO, GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. WEATHER WAS A PARTLY CLOUDY DAY, 45-50 DEGREES, ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY. AS I WAS DRIVING, I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP OR EXPLOSION, LOOKED IN REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME, COMING FROM MY CAR. I SLOWED DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND EXITED THE HIGHLY, PULLING INTO A GAS STATION TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I EXITED THE CAR AND LOOKED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THE SUNROOF HAD COMPLETED SHATTERED, LEAVING A HUGE HOLE. FORTUNATELY, THE INSIDE SHADE WAS CLOSED SO ALL THE GLASS BLEW OUT OF THE CAR AND NOT INTO THE INTERIOR. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED, NOR WAS THE POLICE CONTACTED. I HAD THE SUNROOF REPLACED AT SAFELITE AUTOGLASS FOR A COST OF $885.03. AFTER THE REPAIR, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE INTERIOR SHADE WOULD NOT OPEN COMPLETELY AND SEEMED TO BE OFF TRACK AND THE MANAGER AT SAFELITE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANISSAN DEALER, WHO CHARGED $99.95 JUST TO LOOK AT AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHADE. DIAGNOSIS WAS THE SHATTERED GLASS HAD DAMAGED THE TRACK AND SHADE AND BOTH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1600.00 (MORE DETAILED DIAGNOSIS COULD BE PROVIDED AFTER REMOVING THE HEADLINER). WE DECLINED THIS REPAIR AT THIS TIME. SO FAR WE HAVE PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS AT A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY $985. IF WE CHOOSE TO REPAIR THE SHADE AND TRACK, TOTAL COST ESTIMATES WOULD BE $2,584.
