Great car after all the repairs!

Had the car 1 year. The sun shades are faulty and fall down for no reason. I've had several near collisions because of it just falling down while driving. There is a leak on the driver's side every time it rains, and paid for repairs but it still leaks. Replaced a blown radiator. Replaced alternator. Replaced all tires. Replaced battery. Basically, I'm building a new car. All conveniently started to go bad after it was paid off. Bummed because I love the look, drive and feel of the car. I've had cars much older than 13 years and far less problems. Don't have an answer for it except something about the quality of the make.

Not a long term car - too bad

Loved my Murano from day 1 but am learning the hard way it won't go long term without some heavy costs. Currently @53,000 miles. Driver's seat rail collapsed just after warranty expired. Nissan USA forced dealership to cover the repair without cost - it clearly wasn't normal wear & tear. Now electrical systems are acting up - even when not it in use the Bose 6 disc CD player shuffles discs when the ignition is turned off. Front windows roll down when the remote is used to unlock the car. Occasionally, a motor under the passenger seat triggers and whines when I turn the ignition off.

Quality not there

Bought Murano after many GM's. Like looks and performance, at 34000 miles rear brakes, completely worn out, metal to metal, too small for vehicle. Gas filler neck very rusty, very early, poor galvanization. In 4th year,at 40000 miles, chrome on Grill peeled and muffler broke off (rusted off) at inlet pipe. $400. just for muffler, from dealer. Poor quality on Grill chrome and muffler. Bought wife used Toyota RAV4, absolutely no problems. Phoned Nissan about quality problems, they said out of warranty, too bad. I believe some of these problems are due to Cleveland winters,but other cars don't have these problems.

Nice piece of Italian glass.

Very feature laden: Nav, Intelligent Key, memory heated seats,rear backup video monitor, Sat. radio...quite a few "nice to haves". Does not "feel" like a top heavy SUV, not tippy in the turns. I have no kids so room is immense to me, easy to get to items in the rear with seat fold down levers/lightweight hatch. Rear seats tilt for added comfort for your family/friends. Smooth ride considering it is an SUV. If your a geek like me and value this combo over utilty...give her a test ride. Don't get Edmund's dislike of the tranny, its not a top fuel dragster...its like its not even there! no harsh shifts...just seamless shifts...very nice indeed.
