Seeking Advice: 2016 Nissan Murano Exhibiting Throttle Valve Issues and Rough Idle

Hey, So, I also bumped into a similar issue with my 2013 Nissan Pathfinder (petrol as well). That bugger was giving me hell when accelerating, shaking like a wild horse and had the check engine light flashing. Turns out, it was indeed the Accelerator Pedal Module playing up. The electronics inside were defective which was causing all the shaking and jerking during acceleration. Inside the garage, they revealed that it's a pretty significant task because it directly affects how your car interacts and responds to your acceleration inputs. It's not an everyday tire or oil change, it's a bit more on the serious side, yeah. They replaced the entire module and did some recalibration work on the spot. Post that, the car ran as smooth as silk, no more shakes or jerks and no check engine light drama. If your symptoms are that similar, I'd say definitely have them check out your Accelerator Pedal Module. Good luck with that!

Hey there, you've struck a nerve - sounds like a déjà vu. My '15 Nissan Murano gave me similar headaches – idle shaking, a haunting check engine light, and the whole works. Comparing notes, it does seem like I was dealing with a defective Accelerator Pedal Module, identical to your case. Got a decent garage to swap it out and fine-tune everything, and Voila! Smooth as a baby's bottom ever since. But, can't recall what I shelled out for the fix though - do you remember what it cost you? Just curious if I got a raw deal. And has anything else popped up since your replacement? I'm hoping we aren't dealing with more than just the one trick pony here. Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated.

Hey, I can totally relate about the déjà vu feeling - it sounds like both our Muranos certainly had a good go at driving us nuts! Now, about the costs, I had to cough up 265€ for the whole Accelerator Pedal Module replacement and calibration adventure. Pricey, yeah, but totally worth it considering the peace of mind that followed. About any new issues popping up post the fix, well, none so far. Once they’d zeroed in on that truant throttle valve and rectified it, I haven't experienced any more spooky car behaviors since. It’s all been quite tickety-boo since then. So, keep your fingers crossed your ride continues behaving itself too! Wishing you smooth and shake-free driving!

Hello, your words are music to my ears! I shelled out pretty much the same amount - €270. Must say, I feel a tad relieved knowing it wasn't a rip-off. Also, it's comforting to hear you haven't had issues since your fix. Here's hoping my little beast remains tame too! Fingers crossed indeed! Appreciate the information, it’s been really helpful. May our cars stay problem-free! Good luck to you too, for your smooth drives ahead. Cheers!
