What owners wrote
Tl* - the contact states that on 12/20/06 around 10:00 am the contact drove her 2004 nissan murano out of her driveway and proceeded to drive down an alley at about 2 MPH. After making a left hand turn onto the main road of a residential area, the vehicle accelerated to about 50 MPH without the contact touching the accelerator. The contact tried continuously applying the brakes, but vehicle never came to a stop. The contact states that the brakes went down to the floor.
While driving my 2004 nissan murano the vehicle would not accelerate in traffic and was forced to coast to the side of the road and restart the vehicle. My 8 year old son was with me and this could have caused an accident and injury. Superior nissan, where I purchased the care less than 5 months prior, said that the transmission valve body and cam lobe sensor was going bad. The vehicle has only 67,000 miles on it. The dealer refused to stand behind their product and quoted us a cost of $2200 to repair.
