WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND THEN LUNGES FORWARD. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR 3-5 TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE THEN IT WILL LURCH FORWARD. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A NISSAN 2003 MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000.
