Nissan Murano Reviews

Obviously the transmission went on my 2009 Nissan Murano so that was replaced $2000 later. Now after getting my Murano back after almost two months I smell an awful burnt smell and that's the new issue... mind you I just bought this car 3 months ago!!! I will never ever buy a Nissan again!!! I’ve always had jeeps and they run amazing and never did I have these crazy problems. What a junk and omg how unaware I was to this...

NONE of the cars in my area have it. Why does only my car have orange rust spots? I hope they send someone to check out these “orange spots." After all, it’s 10 months old only. It has been an unhappy experience with Nissan, especially after owning 3 consecutive cars.

Bought 2011 Nissan Murano CVT brand new - one car owner and transmission went out. Warranty only good up to 100,000 miles. It won't accelerate after stopping then when you continue to push on the pedal it takes off exclusive. Nissan is not cooperating with getting the transmissions fixed at their cost. Just to bring it in to check the codes, they want 140.00 where the transmission shop charges nothing. I already know what's wrong with it. You get the rebuilt transmission from Nissan with no warranty so that tells you something too. Nissan is not a reputable car dealership. This should be a recall on ALL vehicles if they can't make the vehicles last long.

It is maintenance free and dependable choice. I like the gas mileage and feel very safe in this car. This meets all of my desires for technology and is very easy to drive. It meets all of my families needs in every way. Very comfortable ride, blind spot technology, navigation built in. Roomy and convenient. It is a great car to drive and has good visibility. Very satisfying and I would highly recommend this car.

When I'm stopped at a light or stop sign the car (2004 Nissan Murnao) all of a sudden will not hit the gas. It won't go anywhere. I push the gas and it's just sitting there in the middle of the road. All of a sudden gets a surge of power or gas and it almost hits a vehicle in front of me or I'm going across the road fixing to turn left into the other lane and a car coming almost hits me because the car stalls in the middle of the street and then gets a surge of power or gas and takes off. This is not right. This car should not be doing that. Many people has had this problem. It should be fixed by Nissan. This should be a RECALL.

2011 Nissan Murano - we bought this vehicle new and haven't had one regret. They've tried to buy it back from us for the last 4 years. My wife said she'll keep it till it totally conks out. It would be good to have a little better gas mileage, but we can live with it.

The Nissan Murano Cabriolet looks great, comfortable seating, could be better on gas and steering wheel should have a better range. Overall, I really enjoy driving it, it's a head turner.

I purchased my Murano in October 2008 for 1400 miles. Skip to 2018 and 140K miles later I can honestly say this has been the best car I’ve owned. Actually the only car I’ve owned since I used to lease cars. It has moved me from Texas to Florida, back to Texas, back to Florida then to Chicago and now to Philly. It gotten me through medical school, residency, weddings, births, divorce and deaths. She has been my partner in crime.

The Nissan Murano looks like a luxury car and drives like one. It is very easy to turn and for parking, love the screen monitor and camera angles. It's very comfortable and plenty of storage. I do wish the dealership told me it has to have synthetic oil which is about 50 dollars an oil change.

2007 Nissan Murano - My transmission went out at 93,000 miles. These CVT transmissions are known for failure which is why Nissan doubled their warranty from 5 yrs to 10 yrs and 60,000 miles to 120,000 miles. Unfortunately, I was unaware and bought this car at 10 yrs old and 83,000 miles. A year later, the transmission went out. I took it to a local garage and because nobody wants to mess with the POS CVT Transmission, it took them 7 weeks to replace it with a used one (I'm getting rid of the car asap). I will never EVER buy a Nissan Crap vehicle again! Most everyone I talked to said they wouldn't deal with Nissan and their crap anyway.

I bought this 2007 Nissan Murano at a Germain dealership where I had previously purchase Nissans. The car was purchased in 2015 at 91K miles for 12000K. After being purchased it was in an accident where the left wheel well and front left bumper was damaged. After getting it fixed through Progressive Insurance, the AWD light went on and soon after the engine seized in 2016. The car sat until this month when I decided to get the engine installed. 3600 dollars later, the car is still stuck in AWD the RPMS at 65 MPH are at 4 RPM. The mechanic said after the repair that this car now has transmission issues. I still owe on the car and it only has 128k. I will never buy a Nissan again, it has been nothing short of a nightmare. We have spent all this money and continue to on a car that has barely been driven. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR.

In Oct.2016, I purchased a brand new 2016 Nissan Murano. Love the car, for the last 8 months driving it I started getting sick, nausea, headache, lightheaded, chest pain and diarrhea. And finally, I found out what is wrong with me. My 2016 Nissan Murano has CARBON MONOXIDE and is killing me slowly. I went to my dealership to let them know about my SUV, and they tested it right away. AND IT'S POSITIVE for Carbon Monoxide. They asked me if I wanted to trade my vehicle or to wait a few weeks and fix the problem. I said no, so I told them to trade in my 2016 Nissan Murano to a newer one 2017 Nissan Murano that was November 2017. Exactly 2 months today I am experiencing the same thing happen to me 10 months ago, my new 2017 Nissan Murano is leaking fumes inside my vehicle. I have been driving and owned most of the Nissan Vehicles since 1994 and I have never experience like this before.

I bought a 2009 Murano 4 years ago and it has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I have taken good regular care of it, but I've had to replace the air compressor, front axle, radiator, and multiple other engine problems. This car has cost me thousands of dollar now in repair. I'm a single Mom on a limited income and I thought I was getting a good family vehicle. What a HUGE disappointment! Run away, do NOT buy this vehicle!

Two years and half, I bought a brand new Nissan Murano Platinum 2015, 46.000 thousand miles, BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. Don't waste your money. Nissan has the worse customer service. The dealer close to the office is the worst. 1 sensor (airbag) disables while an adult is seated in front passenger seat. 8 MONTHS, 5 resets, 3 reprogramming, 2 OCS sensor replacements, and one new OCS control unit later and I have lost ALL patience!

I would first like to start off by saying that I absolutely love my 2010 Nissan Murano! Recently my oldest son and 5yr old son were on their way to the store and somehow my son lost control of the vehicle and went up on the curve, attempted to regain control of the vehicle but the truck ended up going in the air and flipping over. My 5 year old remained anchored in his car seat thanks to the extra safety belt feature for car seats and the front and side air bags also played a vital role in keeping them safe. By the grace of God neither were injured! My Murano was totaled. But it kept my children SAFE! For that reason alone I will always be grateful for my decision to purchase a Nissan Murano and will always stand by Nissan products. I have no complaints!

The most crappiest car award goes to Nissan Murano... I am driving 2006 Murano, I am a family person and likes to drive very slowly, no rush, no harsh brakes, proper oil change and maintenance on time. First, radiator of the car started leaking then power steering when hose gone. Then came the transmission failure and something that almost took my life: Drive seat got BROKEN while I was driving... Craaaap. Dealers don't do anything unless you flash money to them. Thousands spent in repairs. Won't suggests this car to anyone. STAY AWAY ALERT.

After driving in rain a high pitch whistle occurs coming from the rear of the car. It has occurred 3 times. On two of the occasions the car was brought to a Nissan dealer and they could not fix problem since the noise stopped before I got to the dealer. I did make a video of the car as the noise was occurring and played it for the service manager to hear. He agreed the noise was from the rear but no error code showed on their computer and therefore they could not do anything. After calling Nissan consumer affairs on multiple occasions and they spoke to the service dept both agreed nothing could be done until they actually hear the noise in the car at the time in the shop.

I bought a 2007 Nissan Murano 8 years ago with 16,000 miles on it. I now have less than 103,000 miles. 2 weeks ago I was driving and it stopped right in the middle of a busy street... It boosted off, but on the way home, it began making a squealing now that got louder when I was driving 40 mph. I got it checked when it died backing out of the driveway... Got it towed... Needed a new alternator. Now it started doing the same squeezing noise and RPM running 3times higher than it should... Now it needs a new $4400 transmission!! Oh... Not to mention that I have had the front right part of my axle replaced twice in the past 3 years. I am disabled and cannot afford to have a new transmission put in... I'm praying Nissan will cover this under a warranty. I am so upset and disappointed.

I bought a 2012 Nissan Murano, 2 years ago. I paid cash for the car. I bought the car in Denver, Colorado from Plant Honda, I really like the car EXCEPT the Transmission went out. When buying the Nissan I knew Nothing about the CVT Transmission. The car started jerking when backing up and lunging forward. Checked the fluid. Did not register on the stick. My husband decided to replace the Transmission and filter, not a big deal. The problem was after we replaced it. The car would NOT go into gear. We called Nissan here where we live, they said there was not a filter. Also they do not work on the CVT transmission. We had the car towed to a Transmission shop here. They called and said we needed a new Transmission, that those transmission have been known to go out around 30,000 miles. The transmission is on order but I have to wait because where they build transmission are on back order.

The frame in my 2006 Nissan Murano broke in half today while driving. The frame and subframe are so rusted the dealer says it can not be repaired. I'm kind of in shock that an 11 year old car with only 92k miles would break in half. Nissan has escalated the issue to a regional customer service rep. Has anyone here had this problem and been fairly compensated by Nissan?

So discussed with the bosses at Nissan for not recalling Muranos for potentially dangerous suffrage rust. They've recalled Altimas with the same problem, and according to the company, there is a single plant that installed defective steel subframes. You would think Nissan would rather fix the flaw instead of paying the potential lawsuits. My mechanic said I was very fortunate that the rear didn't collapse after hitting a pothole at 60 MPH. I'm not finished with my pursuit of compensation.

I bought the 2007 Nissan Murano brand new, the first year I had to take it in for a 2.5 quart oil with service engine on. And ever since I have had multiple problems with this car. I truly believe I bought a lemon. My extended warranty has pay for fixes on this vehicle over $9000 dollars in fixes. I complain to Nissan Corporate and they wanted me to go to a Nissan dealership for a diagnostic, which I paid for $99 dollars, the service guy told me that I had over $6400 dollars in fixes. I sent the info to Nissan Corporate, and they denied my claim.

In March of 2016 I purchased a 2009 Nissan Murano and it's been the worst decision of my life. A year later I have an exhaust leak and need a new transmission. While driving on the highway, my car simply stopped and wouldn't go into gear. I have spent over 1,000 in rental cars because I have to go to work, 125.00 for a battery, 200.00 new tires, and 600.00 for an alternator. Money pit! I always thought Nissans were great cars! Don't buy Nissan people. You will regret it.

Nissan Murano 2019 transmission & transfer assy problems - I almost get into an accident on a hill because my Nissan Murano hesitates upon acceleration. Driving for a while then stopping at a red light the car doesn't go. While I go up a hills the car feels like it is not going to make it. I took this car to the dealer in New Jersey and had to spend $4000 in repairs. I will never recommend anyone to buy a Nissan.

I purchased a 2003 Nissan Murano used in 2004 with 17,000 miles. In the first 10 years I owned this car I never put 10,000 miles a year on it, kept regular maintenance, garage kept and climate controlled. I have to say I loved the quality and handling of this car. In the last two years the instant this car hit 125,000 miles the suspension started going and has been replaced one thing right after another. Struts, control arms (upper and lower), ball joints, strut mounts, sway bars, bearings and tie rods, some of these parts replaced twice.

2010 Nissan Murano 66,000 Miles and SO FAR ABS Actuator (Part alone $2200), 2 door actuators (estimated parts and labor $1500), drivers side sunvisor (estimated $300). CASE # **. I am so upset, angered, disgusted with Nissan I don't know where to begin. My 2010 Murano - only has 66,738 miles on it. I bought it BRAND NEW in the $35,000 range and planned on keeping this car for 10-12 years. Within the past 3 months my car has had a driver's visor issue which I was told would cost almost $400 to fix and apparently is such a common issue that a RECALL should have been done.

I have a 2009 Nissan Murano. I bought it in 2012 with 28,000 miles and at 33,000 miles it had some motor work done and now at 68,000 miles the car smokes when I start it. And I took it to Star Nissan where I got it from and they said I need a motor so they had the car for 4 days and then told me the warranty wasn't going to cover it cause it's from lack of oil changes. So I gave them all my oil change papers and they still won't fix it and I was charged 500.00 for them to tell me that. So then I talk to Nissan consumer affairs and they said the answer is no so then I call then again and again and it's still no. Then I finally called this last time and they said to take it back to a Nissan dealer to have them tell you what's the problem with the motor and cost. So I did to Mid City Nissan and they said "I believe they should cover this for you. It seems like it's not your fault the motor is bad."

Buyer be aware. We purchased a 2016 Murano with the Technology package and found out after the fact that it does NOT have beeping sensors when approaching stationary items. Although it has a front and back camera, as you approach too close to a stationary item, or about to hit said item, the vehicle will NOT sound a beep as a warning. This was very disappointing to learn since this technology has been around since dinosaurs. Funny part is I called Nissan headquarters today to obtain an explanation and they had no answer other than "contact your dealer."

I have owned a 2005, 2009, and now the 2015 Platinum series. The automatic/safety stop feature in this vehicle is dangerous. It has almost put me thru the windshield a few times. I am surprised that I don't have whiplash or that I have not been rear ended yet. It happens out of nowhere... no one in front or either side of me and next thing I know... dead stop! If someone would have been behind me during these incidents, I know without a doubt that someone would have rear ended me. I have asked the dealership to turn this feature off because I am now afraid to drive this vehicle. My biggest fear is going down a busy highway and this feature decides to activate. OMG... I can't imagine.

Just purchased a 2016 Nissan Murano last month September 2016 and already having issues. Haven't even made my first payment on the car and the car has less than 1,000 miles. That's not the scary part. The issue was with the brakes. My wife was backing out of the driveway and her brakes stopped responding. She nearly hit a light pole and fence behind her, luckily she placed the car in drive and avoided that collision. Her next problem was that the car is now moving forward and brakes still not responding. She threw the car into "park" before colliding with our neighbor's car. After calming my wife down, I asked her to step out of the car so I can take a look for myself. When I got into the driver seat I noticed the brake pedal was almost to the floor. There was maybe about an inch of play on the pedal.

2015 Nissan Murano SV - BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. 1.5 months into ownership Two dealerships tell us it's new car smell - burning off the factory smell. BS! Heater block cord was never secured to the frame and was MELTING against the fan. Transfer case is leaking and needs the seals replaced. AFTER A MONTH AND HALF. OCS sensor (air bag) disables while an adult is seated in front passenger seat. 8 MONTHS, 5 resets, 3 reprogramming, 2 OCS sensor replacements, and one new OCS control unit later and I have lost ALL patience!

I've been always a Nissan fanboy but things changed when my Murano 2012 failed miserably right after the warranty expired with 1K over the 60K manufacturer warranty. Its so sad Nissan ignores such a big issue with their transmission. I took great care of my car and for it to fail after 4 years. I would not recommend anyone to own a Nissan Murano unless they are ready to pay 5K for a CVT replacement right after the warranty will expire. The dealer shop in San Juan Capistrano - Imperio Nissan told me that there was nothing wrong with the car and then after another 1K they were able to actually figure out that they did find the problem and suggested to do a full replacement right after my car was out of warranty.

I've had my 2005 Murano for 11 years. Engine and transmission I've had no problems. However the alarm system was the first to fail. Then the CD player. Now door handle just break or should say detach for reasons unknown. What's crazy is I don't use passenger doors much because I'm mostly alone. So I just don't get it. Also the lock system is terrible. It in locks 1 out of 5 doors 80% of the time. Very annoying especially when you go shopping and can't open the hatch back.

Very bad transmission. Not a reliable vehicle. Do not buy Nissan. CVT Transmission are breaking down after 5 or 6 years. Look for something better.

My first purchase of Nissan vehicle ever... I purchased a 2008 Murano with 106000 KM from friend. At the end of June 2016 I started feeling that my car is jerking/missing at speed 10-20 KM/H and stayed in the lowest gear and would not shift up to the next gear. Nissan dealership said it was the CVT issue. As it covered 2003 to 2010 Muranos in USA not in Saudi Arabia. Quoted me 39K Riyals for the repair -- ridiculous!!! I can't afford to have the repair done. Can some guide me. Is this extended warranty accepted world wide or only in USA. My question from NISSAN, if this extended warranty is in USA so why not in Saudi Arabia. Is NISSAN not selling their cars in Saudi Arabia? Please guide me how to get extend warranty in Saudi Arabia.

My first purchase of a Nissan vehicle ever... Recently purchased a 2011 Murano from our company fleet in March 2016. At the end of May 2016 I started hearing a fluttering noise from the engine and the car stayed in the lowest gear and would not shift up to the next gear. Nissan dealership said it was the CVT but mine would not be covered, as it covered 2003 to 2010 Muranos AND a few earlier 2011 models. Quoted me $4800 for the repair --- ridiculous!!! Waiting on a call from Nissan Consumer Affairs but why would I want to own a vehicle with such problems??? I can't afford to have the repair done -- vehicle is sitting in my garage. My neighbor had her Nissan Maxima for over 15 yrs.

Recently purchased a brand new 2016 Nissan Murano and began to notice within the first 2000 km that on some occasions, after a longer trip there were oil spots on the garage floor. Took the car in for servicing and the dealer determined that there was a transfer case leak from the seal between the CVT and the transfer case. Nissan repaired the problem under warranty and I was told that only about 30% of the oil capacity was lost (I image this to be a conservative estimate). My concern is that some damage could have occurred to the transfer case components and if such a major issue occurred this early on, what other problems are going to appear. Not at all impressed with Nissan's quality control.

Purchased a used Murano 2006 at 71k. Beautiful inner and exterior. 34 days after purchase transmission failed on my way to work. Problem after problem with no help from Nissan. Very sad and stressful when you're already struggling.

Bought a new Murano 2015 Platinum series and really like all external and internal looks and comfort however... The navigation system is the worst I have ever experienced! I am comparing it to GMC, Cadillac, and Acura vehicles I have owned and currently own. I can be two blocks away from a connection to a freeway and it would direct me to turn in an opposite direction. When I look at the details of where it would take me it just makes a large loop to eventually get back to a corrected point for me to continue to my destination. I also have input the route using my Smartphone nav and it would take me to the proper route guidance. It was set to "fastest" route so I changed it to "shortest" route to see if that would fix the issue and it also tried to send me in incorrect directions.

In March 2016, at approximately 72,000 miles, the CVT transmission on my 2010 Nissan Murano LE failed as I was pulling out of a Lowe's parking lot. Nissan had extended their warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles so they fixed it free of charge. Exactly one week after getting my vehicle back from the dealer, I noticed a brown oily fluid leaking on my garage floor. I took it back to the dealer, and they said the CVT transmission was fine but now I had a cracked transfer case. Unfortunately, the transfer case was not covered under their extended warranty and I paid over $1300 for repairs. I will never buy another Nissan automobile again.
