I ahve a 2009 Murano that skips when accelerating from stop. Dealer has replace motor support, boot from intake box to throttle body, mass air flow sensor, transmission. Each time the problem stopped for about a week, then started again. Any ideas? Transmission was under warranty, but each trip costs $500 or more!!

Could you elaborate on the "skip" a bit more. The word skip is too vague.
To me, it sounds like a torque converter issue.

As I apply the throttle, the engine momentarily stops, then immediantly picks up two or three times. Makes the car lurch like flipping a light switch off and on. Most of the time the RPM's are around 1500 and the speed is below 20 MPH.

Ask the dealership to reprogram the CVT to see if this addresses the problem.
