Have had same issues as other reviews.Hesitation at stop to start has gone away with last recall to replace air tube and clamps. fuel door lock replaced twice, after 2nd time I just broke the lock shaft off and left it at that. I now have oil leaking from oil cooler seal, oil sump pan gasket, and main oil pan gasket. Entire engine has to be removed from bottom of vehicle to repair these items. Parts cost approx. $70.00, labor is $1350.00. Will be replacing wheel seals while the engine is out also since axles have to come out anyway, $40.00 for parts only. Luckily no cvt issues, knock on wood.

Comparison of the Toyota Highlander Limited vs. Nissan Murano SL with Premium and Leather Package. Murano's benefits: Styling and ride, CVT transmission is awesome, 245 HP vs 220, 18 inch vs 16 inch wheels, Xenon headlights with adjustment switch, Dual climate control for driver and passenger, as well as backseat vents, Bose sound system was superior to the JBL, Memory settings with adjustable seats, mirrors, and pedals for Driver 1 and 2 (great for weekend driver vs. daily driver use), Autodimming mirror, compass, and Homelink vs. Homelink only

Don't miss the Audi

I traded in my Audi A6 Quattro on this car and thought that I would miss the comfort. I don't, the Murano rides great, and is very quiet. I have only driven it 1200 miles, so the gas mileage isn't what I would like, but it isn't much less than the Audi. I sure get lots of people asking me about it, and it is a real hit with my family and friends.

4 days and perfect

I've had my Murano for 4 days now, and I am nothing but impressed. Coming from an 01 Explorer Sport to this is like wearing an Armani suit as compared to someone else's old underwear. It is quite literally a luxury SUV for the price of a loaded compact.

This is probably the best SUV on the road now! I love it. No one need to look further than the Murano. It has everything anyone could want! Seriously.
