Or - perhaps there was a calibration step they missed on the new TPS.
if on the otherhand you fully depress the accelerator, and the RPMs shoot up to almost full scale (say 7-8K RPMs) but you go almost nowhere, I'd say your issue is the transmission.
here's another thought, if you fully depress the accelerator, and the RPMs barely increase, if it isn't the TPS, then it could be the accelerator pedal assembly.
have them put an OBD-II reader or what ever electronic maint. tool they use to look at system parameters. they should be able to track the problem down.
thank them for diligently working to get to the root cause.
The leak worries me because it is traveling through the roof until it leaks out the pillar. I don't like the water inside my sheet metal. I got a good lease deal with a plan to buy it out if I liked it....looking like leasing it may have been very wise indeed.
Me, I always go to the top. Speak to the Service Manager or dealership GM. I have also had occasion to make a new key twice, on my original Mo and my new 2006. Never a problem there. Sounds like your dealer is handing out large plates of BS.
Is there another Nissan dealer, within a reasonable distance, you can take it to?
Does anybody know what they have to do to replace a sunroof drain hose?? Do they have to tak eout the sunroof? Also, due to the fact the headliner is stained in the corner and the A-pillar liner is stained too, they decided to replace those liners. They say they want me to be happy. A good cleaning would be sufficient if the stain wouldn't reappear (as happens to me with carpet cleaning). I am worried that they won't do a good job and that it won't fit tightly etc. Does anybody out there have experience having a headliner replaced?? They better not create any new leaks around that sunroof when they replace the drain and headliner. All this with less than 1000 miles...makes me so uptight just imagining my poor car all taken apart. :sick:
That is alot of worrying for one very small problem.
So far as chipping is concerned, I have owned two Mo's and never had the horrible problems people have reported on the G35 board. Bear in mind people tend to be overly-dramatic and picky at enthuasist forums. Chipping would be more a product of the roads one drives on, and the area than color. I live part of the year in rural Northern Nevada, and there are certainly more rocks and stones on the rural roadways, due to lack of curbs, wide-open spaces, etc. There are lots of gravel driveways that pick up small rocks and deposit them onto the neighborhood roads.
If your needs are immediate, either of the Red colors, with the Latte interior look stunning!
That is the "retired" Mo color, called Brick on the G-45 Infiniti.
I saw the Chestnut on one of the auto sites recently...check Yahoo/MSN and Edmunds reviews, etc.
Good for you!!! John B...
Hisssssssssss
I had the tank shield recall service on 31 March 06 for my 04 Murano. Looking at your 28 July posting, looks like I screwed up by having it done as soon as I received my recall notice. So I have the ugly plastic drop curtain shield. Had I waited longer and not had the recall service, I could have the metal shield. I just call my dealership and voiced my complaint. They know nothing about the metal shield. I gave them the part# you supplied. They are checking. Let's see what they say tomorrow.
If I have to contact Nissan Motors directly I plan to raise h___ and demand better service for a 21 year Nissan only buyer.
Thanks for your posting.
Larry (Silver Murano)
Sorry to be so long winded, but I think everyone that is dissatisfied with the hang down shield should raise the issue with Nissan. It makes no difference to me whether the shield is plastic or metal, just as long as it doesn't hang down and look really ugly.

Many plastics are more durable and stronger than aluminum.
Sandi
also, if it hangs down, conceivably in winter areas, a part to catch snow and ice, or get damaged or detached by same.
:P
I got duped with the snowplow shield and want Nissan to put the new shield on.
Thanks
I see from previous posts that plastic form-fitting is being used: and that is CC25B. Either would be fine, and better than the snowplow. Good luck. Hey...this site pays off for M owners. JB
It sure does! Thanks Edmunds for providing this service!
It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to pinpoint what's changed since the 2005 model (Assuming it hasn't had these problems) and correct the problem.
I am going to pursue the lemon law as well now.
What caused it in the past is the particular nozzle and pump, not the car. It had to do with the type of vapor recovery/vacuum device they used at that station....
Next time make the rep pull a couple of Muranos off the lot and demonstrate how they won't fill up either.
This afternoon (2 days later-after a rain) when I got stuff out of the hatch it looks like the scratches have started to rust! Is that possible? I would think they wouldn't use a rustable material in an area of the car so likely to get scratched. Will they replace it for me if I go back on Monday and say the scratch was there when I picked it up? Are they likely to have climbed in and out of the back when they did the headliner? I am thinking they had to climb in oand out that way, surely more than I've had to. I'm mainly annoyed at the prospect of future rusty marks on that area......Any ideas, suggestions?? I'm getting frustrated here. Thanks
Some people use the term "rust" generally to mean oxidation of metals though most reserve the term for iron. Aluminum certainly does oxidize. Rusted iron, of course, is reddish in color while oxidized aluminum is white. The original poster may simply have meant oxidation when she said "rust" and I hope she will clarify!

Important to keep in mind, Oxidation generally can be repaired. I would be astounded if she doesn't live near the ocean, and it oxidized so quickly. Scratching can remove the protective coatings, but to happen so fast.....
As a matter of fact, I was visiting my parents who live about 2 miles from Barnegat Bay, which of course is near the ocean.
I wonder if this is pure aluminum?
Do you think the service department will acknowledge that their guys are likely to have caused the scratches, and believe me when I say it wasn't there before? They have been very good to me so far.
If it IS rust, would that be considered a defect and warrant replacement regardless? I have 1050 miles on my 06 that I've had since July 15, 2006. Thanks
BUT it shouldn't oxidize or rust so quickly, IMO. Talk to only the Service Manager, and explain exactly what happened.

Most SUV s & vans have a rubber or black plastic protector to save the painted surface. The alum is easily marked up W/ items being loading into the back. The shop replacing the head liner should have covered the alum. They should admit there error and give you a new one.
No. That refers to the number of people who have "bookmarked" a particular discussion. By bookmarking a discussion one becomes a "member" of the group.
