TAKATA RECALL, "I BOUGHT A USED MURANO 2008AND I THINK I HAVE THE PROBLEM CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE UNTIL THE RPM IS OVER 2000 AND THEN IT JUST KINDA SURGES FORWARD A BIT. I DIDN'T NOTICE IT DURING THE TEST DRIVE AND IT JUST SHOWED UP AFTER BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC ABOUT 1 HRS. I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED, A LITTLE MAD, A LITTLE CONFUSED, AND EVERYTHING ELSE! "
