What Causes a Nissan Murano to Stall While Driving?
2 Answers
Nissan Murano stalling while driving can be attributed to the following reasons: Poor Driving Skills: Automatic transmission models generally do not stall easily, whereas manual transmission models may frequently stall due to inadequate driving skills. However, it is not impossible for automatic transmission vehicles to stall, primarily due to the use of low-quality fuel leading to engine carbon buildup and subsequent stalling. Engine or Fuel System Issues: For new vehicles (automatic transmission), stalling is mainly caused by insufficient driving proficiency. Another possibility is issues with the car's engine or fuel system. However, for new vehicles, the likelihood of engine-related problems is relatively low, with most cases being attributed to fuel system issues. Use of Substandard Gasoline: For older models, apart from inadequate driving skills, stalling can also result from using substandard fuel, which causes engine carbon buildup and other related issues leading to stalling.
It's quite nerve-wracking when the Nissan Murano suddenly stalls while driving. I've dealt with similar situations before, and common causes include fuel supply issues such as a failed fuel pump or clogged fuel lines, leading to engine fuel cut-off and stalling; ignition system failures like aged spark plugs or damaged ignition coils, preventing the engine from firing; sensors like the crankshaft position sensor or throttle position sensor malfunctioning, causing the ECU to misjudge and shut down automatically; and air intake system problems such as a clogged mass airflow sensor disrupting the air-fuel mixture and causing stalling. For this model, some Nissan transmission sensors may fail and trigger stalling. My advice is to pull over safely immediately and check the warning lights, then contact professional repair services to avoid safety hazards—safety always comes first. Regular maintenance of the fuel system can help reduce this risk.
