Is there a hesitation when taking off from a stop?

Our 2009 Murano is experiencing a hesitation when taking off from a stop. The car will start to go as usual then hesitates for a second or 2 then will take off like normal again. It also sometimes displays a hesitation or bog when accelerating from say 30 mph to 40 or 50 mph. Any advice? Thanks! Kent Submitted:5 years ago. Category: Nissan
