MuranoMisery
I purchased a used AS-IS 2005 Nissan Murano with 67,476 exact miles on the odometer from Landers McLarty Nissan in Huntsville Alabama August 17, 2011 with a verbal promise and guarantee that they do not re-sale any used vehicles that are not up to standard, dependable and trustworthy. Supposedly, all vehicles go through a thorough inspection process. My sales person, Eukrina’s exact words were “we do not put our name on ... Read More

Re: 2003 Murano with cvt problems???? [mikesmurano]
I didn't miss anything Mike, nor did I ever say the problem does not exist. I feel bad you all went through this and you should have but anyone that bought a 2003-2005 Murano was just asking for trouble when you had a brand new vehicle from Nissan, paired with a brand new mass market transmission. Why do you think I waited over 8 years to get a Nissan. I wanted ... Read More

another one
Another addition to the seat nightmare of a 2005 Murano with 60k miles... I first brought mine into my local shop who suggested I contact Nissan (thought was nice). After I opened my file with corp I was told to go to a Nissan Service center for an estimate/diagnosis to escalate the case / start working with a regional specialist. The service center told me there is a $118 diagnosis fee ... Read More

2005 Murano Power Driver Seat Repair
The seat on my Murano was not moving on the right side, but left side was twisting to the right and making a noise. Took it to Ken Ganley Nissan Dealer in Medina, OH, they charged a $99 plus tax for diagnosis, said the gear was broken and the seat motor unit needed to be replaced for $1520!! I told them to cancel the repair after reading this forum, had my ... Read More

Re: 2005 Nissan Power Seat Issue
I have a 2005 Murano. The driver's seat completely detached from the vehicle. Repair cost was $1000. I was advised by my local service manager to contact the NIssan Customer Service number. My call was handled courteously, promply and efficiently. Nissan split the repair cost with me 50/50. I still don't think a seat should separate from the vehicle, but I was willing to take the deal. The only other option ... Read More

Re: No 2003-2007 Murano [smarty666]
Fair point you are making. There is an online site that is monitoring repair frequencies year by year with Muranos ( I am part of the data pool for the 2010 Muranos). You can see a big difference between the 2007 and the 2006. 2006 was a particularly bad year apparently. 2005 was actually better. 2003 was a real mess. Anyway, my sense is that the 2010s have the CVT perfected ... Read More

Re: No 2003-2007 Murano [whitestar16]
I understand what your saying, I personally wouldn't buy a used Murano either, but I have read more than just a few 2007 CVT failures, etc on 2007s so it went well past 2005! I've reads dozens if not hundreds of people claiming CVT failures! Despite having the 10yr/120k mile warranty extension on the CVT by Nissan, some people, as pointed out on edmunds, are still having problems getting their money ... Read More

They performed the same TSB. Did they get rid of your noise completely? I was told that the TSB was only to reduce the noise and not eliminate it. I was also told by Nissan that the noise is normal.

Re: MURANO 2005 CVT [jayrider]
..of course I agree if the Murano is leased....but if you own it a fluid change on the tranny should nopt that expensive,just my opinion,and by having it no one dealer or Nissan cab even begin to suggest negligense on the part of the owner..besides if a lawsuit follows always more is better than less..it will show your willingness to "really" maintain your vehicles..

Re: MURANO 2005 CVT [hiker2]
...sorry I disagree with Jayrider, yes he is right if the maintenance does not call for it, but in my opinion and due to many instances of CVT failures, the fact that you are almost 5 years old and most importantly to have the benefit of the doubt on your side, I would do it. Lets not forget that we always need the "dealer" on our side in all claims, that ... Read More

Re: Nissan Murano vs. Mercedes ML [sham_ip]
Thanks for your reply guys. Actually the prices here in Canada is higher than the state. And especially here in Alberta, it's also 10% higher than the rest of Canada. The listed price was 18,999 and after negotiation it ended to $16000. Dealers make money by buying cheap cars from people and selling them with high prices. I sold my Mazda tribute 03 to someone(not a dealer) last month with 11500. ... Read More

I have 2005 Nissan Murano and only 60,000 miles on it. I would like to know if the CVT in this model has the same problems as older models.

Re: 3 people w/ transfer case? [jimothy]
I encourage you to voice this transfer case concern to the vice president of Nissan as I did via email. Kevin.Martin@nissan-usa.com. Unfortunately they did not help me but if enough people with the same problem let it be heard, Nissan just might change the warranty extension and reimburse for previous transfer case repairs. I researched the correlation between the transfer case and CVT and found the two are highly correlated and ... Read More

Re: Nissan Extended Warranty Letter November 2009 [wjvanrossum]
I was afraid they would not cover the transfer case. I am going to submit a claim anyway, it's total crap. Nissan issued a technical service bulletin on the transfer case issue and when they replace the transfer case they now also include a switch (which was changed on the 2005 Murano). The transfer case issue appears to only be with the 2004 Muranos. A co-worker's husband just had to have ... Read More

CVT repair refund
In Aug I had to replace the transmission in my 2005 Murano. Of course at that time by CVT trans was an out of pocket expense. I did send Nissan all the paperwork they required. The repairs were done at an independent licensed repair shop and not at the Nissan dealer. Do you think that makes a difference for the refund?

Re: CVT transmission issues [jayrider]
Jayrider, I am not sure if you have been doing your research, like many upset 2003 Murano Owners, but most of these transmissions are failing well before the 100k line. Some have report failures at 25,000 miles, but they were still covered under warrenty. Furthermore, Nissan has indeed changed the transmission in the Murano. the newer models do not have the same CVT that was in the 2003-2005 Muranos.

Murano = Proof the Japanese can make a crappy product
Remember, it's not libel if it's true. My 2005 Murano's front wheel bearings went kaput today with the car under 47,000 miles. Covered under warranty; however, I honestly think the Murano is one hunking piece of junk. More rattles than a colicy baby, MPG sucks, and really no versatility. The car has never left the pavement and is driven very gingerly. Also a clamp to hold the exhaust needs to be ... Read More

Re: 2005 nissan murano protective shield for gas tank [mcaprio]

Because my 06 SL model dose not have it, and there is no recall for my Vin#, so dealer would not install the sheild, and said mine had reinforced tank and dose not need the sheild. I recently had gas tank replaced because when getting gas nozzle shuts off repeatedly as if it was full of ... Read More

turn noise, oil change, rough engine
2005 Murano, 27K, wife car, school, shops, short trips..but at 5000 feet High Sierra with many snow days. Perfect except for TPS 7K diagnosed thanks to this site's advice, under warranty. City 19mpg, flat land highway 23, regardless of octane. Turning noise: a thought..sometimes on a hard tight turn an inside edge, usually rear, of tire, rubs against wheelwell housing. Have it with 01 Pathfinder because I put slightly larger tires ... Read More

Comparison shopping
I thought I would weigh in today, having seen a gorgeous Hyundai Santa Fe parked at our Fitness Center...for all the world, a Murano-Lexus copy. For fun, I went to Edmunds.com to look at Problems and Fixes for this vehicle. Guess what: a littany of problems: doors won't close, poor mileage, noisy interior, faulty electronics, radio failures, windshield wiper failure, won't shift..stuck in park, and on and on. I wonder at ... Read More

Re: RATTLING SOUND AT LOW SPEED [easym1]
I HAD ANOISE LIKE THE SPIN CYCLE OF A WASHING MACHINE AT 30-40 MPH. NISSAN tech support said this was normal for a 2005 murano. Went to another nissan dealer and it was the tires. They put the car on a lift and reved the motor to 30-40mph---no noise proving it was the tires. Got new tires and no more noise. GOOD LUCK

Acceleration
I have a 2005 Murano with 14K miles. Two days ago left work (or tried to leave) and noticed acceleration problem. Also, had 'service engine soon' light and 'awd' light come on. Had it towed next day because I wasn't sure whether the 'awd' was for real. Repair was 'a check of all gound wires per Nissan TSB'. While in for repair I reviewed postings. I have a very uncomfortable feeling ... Read More

How much for a "NEW" 2005 Murano?
Hi.. I saw a 2005 Nissan Murano SE at a dealership. The list price was 34K and it had a 5K discount. It is now a year old since the manufacture date is June 2005. I know I should get a deeper discount than 5K, but what is a reasonable price to pay for this model? Thanks!!

Tire Rotation message alert
I have a Nissan Murano 2005. Recently I cross rotate my tires since its over 7500 miles. I reset the tire rotation message alert back to zero (0) miles BUT since then, the miles on the message alert are not increasing the mileage and it still remain zero. Why is that?. Anyone can help about this issue?

Murano Air Condensor
My less then 1 year 2005 Murano has a hole in the Air Condensor, which Nissan says was caused by a stone coming in through the front grill (the big holes at the bottom of the front grill). Thus the "damage" is not covered by warranty. With the size and numbers of the grill openings, and the condensor right in the front, has anyone else experienced this issue? Seems to me ... Read More

Warning light problem with 2005 Murano
Hi all, I have a 2005 Murano which was great until a couple of months ago when it started experiencing some odd warning light issues. Whenever I have been sitting in stop /start traffic for a while, a number of warning lights will suddenly illuminate all together and the speedo and sat nav also stop functioning. The warning lights are ESP Off, ABS, 4 Wheel Drive Warning and also the picture ... Read More

Re: MURRANO FALLS APART [mishelly]
I'd trade the car in for a 2004 or 2005 Murano- seems like Nissan has cleared out some of the bugs in recent years. As mentioned before in other complaints, your whole dealership experience lies with a competent service technician that can fix the car correctly the first time. The dealer should not have changed the coil packs and plugs, they should reimburse you for the uneccessary expenses (due to their ... Read More

Re: 2005 Murano Fuel Tank [kbear2]
Going to NHTSA complaints filed do a search on 2003 Murano and do a search on 2003 Highlander (better comparison than a lexus- Murano is not meant to compete with the RX). Murano has 263 filed complaints vs. Highlander with ONE (1). Again- Nissan makes very dynamic vehicles, best wishes with yours. AKA1

Re: 2005 Murano Fuel Tank [kbear2]
Your comparison on the Murano's history vs. that of the RX330 may be inaccurate: Lexus owners typically nit pick about their vehicles- feeling that the company advertises the relentless pursuit of perfection- and anything but perfect is not acceptable to some Lexus owners. The vehicle has longer warranty period, therefore more chances to quibble with the service writer. A better comparison would be the Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot. Toyota Motor ... Read More

Re: 2005 Murano Fuel Tank [easym1]
I was at the dealer yesterday (13 March) getting some information about my xenon headlight (read post #1168). I was also on the phone with Nissan USA. The service technician informed me of the fuel tank recall. When I asked a maintainer at the dealer, he shuffled some papers, looked in his computer, and said he didn't find anything. I guess he should have checked Edmunds.com! :-)

Re: 2005 Murano Fuel Tank [platinumbird1]
Actually recalls aren't necessarily a good way to judge a car's reliability. There are many vehicles that should be recalled but the manufacturers are holding back because they don't want the bad publicity. The fact that Nissan has stepped up to the plate on these matters is a good thing. The Murano has been out for over three years (going into fourth) and has had only these four recalls. Many other ...

Re: 2005 Murano Fuel Tank [platinumbird1]
Actually there are two recalls regarding the fuel tanks. One relates to objects possibly puncturing the tank as mentioned above and another new one concerning a fitting on the fuel tank itself: NHTSA Recall Campaign Number: 06V054000 Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINETANK ASSEMBLY Details: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FITTING FOR VAPOR RECIRCULATION, WHICH IS WELDED ON THE FUEL TANK, MAY COME OFF THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE INCORRECT MATERIAL WAS USED. ...
