First time Nissan buyer here.. Traded my 2010 Passat wagon (w/ 125K miles) for a 2015 Murano SL with 33 miles on it. I must say, this is a very well thought and engineered Crossover. Beautiful design that stands out, I love looking at it. My only minor complaint is the middle console sways a bit sideways / flexes if pushed (where it meets the dashboard). No biggie, however, I suspect perhaps something needs to be tightened (even though I would not take a chance with all the soft padding/panels etc..) Will address with the dealer.. The quality of the interior is a lot better than the German made Passat. I chose the Murano after months of research (Port injection engine, vs Direct Inj), virtually a nightmare with VW's (had extensive carbon issues with the Passat, hesitation for months; ended up taking the intake apart to clean the valves) which made me look for a vehicle without DI. I avg 23+mpg in 2 days of driving in heavy traffic(saw 33mpg on the highway back from the dealership), so fuel consumption should be about the same with the Passat once broken in (I averaged 27-28mpg on the VW). Plus I don't have to use Premium gas. I opted for the SL model without the Intelligent Cruise control, given some of the reviews on the net. The car is near perfect for me. I remember with the Passat, I experienced bucking/lurching on the DSG transmission from Day 1(once the car got hot on the highway); the CVT behaves a lot better, even in heavy traffic(past 2 days and the car is not even broken in yet). Not to mention the plastic panels on the Passat creaked like crazy until I pulled all panels apart and applied double sided tape. German quality my.. Overall I'm glad I purchased the Murano; I'm puzzled by the fact I don't see many more 2015/2016 Muranos on the road. INMO this is a far better package/more attractive than the current Highlander, Pilot or even the Subaru Outback(some of its direct competitors). Also somehow I was never a fan of the old Murano design ( I prefer the new design).

My back rear window on my 2015 Nissan Murano just imploded on both sides. There were two holes in the back, the car was parked in the driveway and when I walked out the I thought that someone threw a rock, but there were two exact round holes on each side. Not much glass on the ground, the glass fell insided. Upon reading reviews I found that this happens to a lot of rogues and muranos and sometimes on the passenger side. I am thankful that I was not driving or that my son was not in the car. I contacted Nissan and of course got the run around, took it to the dealer and of course got the around. Had to end up paying for it out of my own pocket. After this I am selling it , this car is not safe for driving. I can not imagine driving and having one of the windows just implode. I am so sorry for those other owners that were driving when it happened. Nissans are poorly made, they have lost a customer for lie.

Still Having Regrets at 35,000 Miles

1) Contrary to other reports about the seats, driver's seat uncomfortable for me. 2) 20" wheels inflated to 35 pounds are a disaster. You feel every bump in the road and noisy. 3) The high dash and hood obstructs my view (I'm 6'2") of possible obstructions, i.e. wide posts, columns all around obstruct your view, especially looking back over the right shoulder. 3) At the wiper blade well, the hood metal slopes backward approx. 45 degrees and will reflect sunlight in the drivers eyes on sunny days between say 11 AM to 3 PM when driving towards or away from the sun. This is a safety hazard and some non-glare material needs to be added. 5) The extra 1" of overhang for the top cover of the convenience storage box between the driver and passenger seat obstructs the fasting of the drivers seatbelt. I can only imagine what trouble a very heavy person would have attaching their seat belt. 6) No ability to raise the passenger seat vertically. Stupid. 7) Poor storage cubby-holes in the doors and transmission housing: all deep, long and narrow. I miss the large convenient storage area forward of the gear shift and under the dash in my '07 Murano. 8) With 55,000 miles on the car, my average MPG is only around 19 - 20 with equal city and highway driving. Advertised 23 - 26. 9) The fit and finish issues: still have a whistling in the driver's door at 50MPH, plastic inserts in the steering wheel overhang and tend to scrape your fingers. Also had to replace the windshield because of internal flaws. I think my old 09 Murano SL was a better car. Bottom line: Shouldn't have changed my mind and left it at the dealership after 100 miles. Looking to trade in for Lexus

Horrible MPG in the City

I purchased my new Murano AWD Platinum a few months ago and i'm so dissapointed. I haven't yet schedule my first oil change, and i'm already thinking of trading this vehicle. This vehicle has horrible MPG in the city, i get from 7 to 13 MPGs in the city. I opened a complaint with Nissan, and their advise was to take it back to the dealer to check the vehicle out. I did, long story short, the dealer didn't find any isssues with the vehicle, expected. Nissan mentioned in order to get assistant or be cover under the lemon law, the dealer had to find something wrong with the vehicle. Is obviously that something is wrong, when Nissan claimed to obtained 21 MPGs in the city and this vehicle is only offering me only 7-13 MPGs in the city. So, you be the judge, and before buying this vehicle, really make sure you test drive it, don't let the looks deceive you.

My 2009 Murano was just flat out great! Reasonably comfortable, quiet ride and lots of interior room. The 1st 2015 I bought was good, but Nissan took away a lot of things that were standard on the 09, like adjustable lumbar support, auto-dimming rear view mirrors, 6 CD player, cargo net, deep door pockets, rear storage pockets in the back seat area etc. I was disappointed. Quality control at the new factory just sucks. I had to have a new transmission put in due to slippage and shuddering when it shifted. The car was totaled when I was rear-ended. My seat back broke at the time. My new 15 Murano has a grinding or high-frequency vibration in the steering wheel the dealer can't or won't address. It also doesn't ride as well as my last 2 Muranos. Lots of vibrations, rough idle, unktraceable noises etc. If they don't fix it I'll force them to take it back and buy a Kia UPDATE, they played the lemon law avoidance game very well and refused to admit the transmission slipped. After I was almost broadsided at an intersection because the transmission wouldn't engage, I sold the piece of junk and bought a Kia Sorento, which turns out to be an even better car with much higher quality and many standard items Nissan would have charged a fortune for. After 20 years of Nissans, I was sorry to discover they do not value their customers and would rather rip one off and lose that customer than honor the warranty and keep him. they've become too short sighted. To date I've been able to dissuade 20 people from buying a Murano or other Nissan and will continue to do so. I met a person who bought a 16 Murano and he's been having the same problems with the transmission and vibrations I did with mine. Nissan is screwing him on the warranty, although he bought an extended warranty and the car only has 6,000 miles. He can't afford to take the loss by getting rid of it so he's taking them to court.. I agreed to testify on his behalf Update, I've had my Kia Sorento over a year now and haven't had a single problem. 11,500 miles and it averages 30 MPG on the highway and 26-28 in rural driving. The more I drive it, the more I like it. I especially like the heated seats in the winter, which came as STANDARD equipment, along with the self dimming mirror, outside mirror defrosters, auto dimming headlights and a lot of things Nissan charges extra for.
