Transmission acting up a little. Just use bp regular gas in tank helps slow down a little.

Hi there!
Alright, a 2006 Murano surging and jerking can have a few culprits. Let's troubleshoot like we're under the hood.
First things first, is the check engine light on? If so, that's a goldmine of info. We can hook up a scanner and see what trouble codes are stored. Those codes point us in the right direction for what might be causing the jerky ride.
Even without a light, there are a couple of common gremlins for this in Muranos. The CVT, which is kinda like an automatic transmission but with a belt instead of gears, can act funky if the fluid's dirty. Dirty fluid messes with how the power gets delivered, leading to those surges and jerks. So, checking the CVT fluid and potentially changing it is a good place to start.
Another possibility is a faulty sensor. Your Murano relies on a bunch of sensors to figure out how much gas to pump in. If one of those sensors goes bad, it can send mixed signals and cause the engine to buck and jerk. The crankshaft position sensor or MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow) are common culprits here.
Now, these are just some of the usual suspects. It could be issues with the fuel system, such as a dirty fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. It might also be due to a malfunctioning mass airflow sensor, throttle position sensor, or transmission problems. There could be other things going on depending on the car's mileage and how it's been maintained. If you're not super comfortable tinkering under the hood yourself, swinging by a mechanic is the way to go. They can diagnose the problem for sure and get your Murano running nice and smooth again.

Fingers crossed it's a quick fix and you'll have Murano back in the game again!
