Used 2015 Nissan Murano Consumer Reviews
Comfortable, great mpg, cargo room, styling
Bought new in 2015. Still going strong in every department nearly 7 years later. Most comfortable car I tried, so much room, 24.7 average mpg, smooth, quiet, plenty of power. Great value, no regrets.

Technology Package Design Flaw?
We have had 3 previous Nissans with no issues (Xterra, Pathfinder, Altima). Purchased our 2015 Murano SL in Aug 2018 with 28K miles on it from an independent dealer. It was a Nissan Lease return that was originally sold new 3 years and 1 week before our purchase. Within a couple of days of purchase, the Auto Brake light went off on the dash and neither the auto braking nor the cruise control would operate. Turning the car off reset the light and allowed us to use the features again. We took the car to the Nissan dealership who inspected it and said the engine position sensor on one of the motor mounts was tripping the warning. The sensor is integrated into one of the motor mounts which the dealer said was wearing out and would cost $1100 to replace. The dealer said if we would have brought it in 2 weeks earlier it would have been covered under warranty (of course the car was stilled owned by Nissan Motor Credit at that time). This light only goes off after 20 to 30 minutes of driving, so a standard test drive may not reveal the problem. To make a long story short, I filed a complaint with Nissan USA stating they had a design problem in that the auto braking feature is a safety feature and integrating one of it's sensors into a part that is designed to wear out was a design flaw. After going back and forth with Nissan USA for several weeks, they decided not to assist in the repair or provide a new motor mount and told us we were on our own. The rep at Nissan USA acknowledged this is a known problem. Obviously, I am not happy with Nissan as this sensor should not have been mounted to the motor mount and their motor mounts should last longer than 28K miles. I have not replaced the motor mount as of yet because I feel at some point I feel this model will be recalled. In addition, this will be the last Nissan vehicle I ever own. I will be sticking with other more reliable brands from manufacturers who value my business. On a side note, I rented a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder two months ago while on a business trip and while driving it, the same light went off and the cruise control/auto braking stopped working. I reported it to Avis. The two vehicles use the same drive train. This is not an isolated incident.

Growing Pains
I purchased my Murano in June, 2015 and have had it in the shop five (5) times mainly over a faulty heat shield. Another time I took it in was because the Nissan emblem/badge was horribly off sided. Now, that may not be a big deal to anyone else, but it is to me and it should be to Nissan. I am experiencing bag rustling noises on the left driver side of the vehicle - and at times, I hear the same sound on the right side, but only slight. Not sure what this noise is...wind? It's an okay vehicle -- for now. I'll give it a year to see if I feel the same or better unless I've traded it in for something else.
