Used 2016 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
2016 Nissan Murano Brake Failure after a month
Just purchased my 2016 Murano on September 2016. Had the car for about a month and 800 miles. Yesterday morning the brakes failed as my wife was pulling out of our driveway. Nearly backed into a light pole and crashed into our neighbors car. She had to place the car into drive while it was still backing up, then had to place the car into neutral when it started going forward. Brake pedal did not respond and was near the floor. Contacted Nissan consumer affairs about the issue and had the car towed to my dealer. Nissan consumer affair advised me that there wasn't any brake related recalls for my car. A quick internet search proved that to be incorrect. Nissan, not wise to lie to your customers. Luckily this happened near our driveway in a residential neighborhood, with no kids in the car because I dropped the kids off at school in my car this morning. Had this been at a busy intersection, thing could have turned out really bad. Any Nissan executives reading this post, take a moment and think, what if this was your family in your product. Get the issue resolved before it claims innocent lives. Feel free to reach out to me. Find my contact information on the Nissan Consumer Affairs case #24317348. I will be posting my story on every Nissan forum and consumer complaint site I can think of.

Very impressed. A real luxury suv.
Just leased about 2 weeks ago, but I have to say that I am real happy with my decision. I got the SL with the technology package and I'm impressed with all the upgrades included in the suv that are included for less than $40k. You'll feel like you are driving a luxury car when riding this one. I'm coming from a lease of the Ford Edge and I felt that it was a big upgrade, thinking mostly of all the features that are included in the Murano. The ride is just as smooth as the Edge, even though not as fast acceleration and a bit less cargo room, but nevertheless, the trade off is worthwhile. If you are looking for cross overs without the need for a 3rd row, I'd recommend to at least take a look at the Murano.

murano musings
We've only had it a month so I can't comment on reliability, but other reviews seem to have been spot on. Very comfortable, enough power, decent mpg and nice to look at. They seemed to have gotten the CVT figured out, it's not offensive, which is high praise because until this one I've had no use for them. If you tow things, go mudding or want a sports car in SUV clothing this isn't it. If you're an empty nester and need to haul your stuff around on trips this is as good as it gets. Let me mention again - this car is really comfortable. The computer interface is well done, it's intuitive and easy to use. The interior materials are very nice and the layout is spacious. I really like the motor, it's got plenty of power and uses regular gas. I don't have much use for twin turbo 4's that need premium which are what the majority of its competitors are doing. All in all we're very happy with this car, if you need an SUV and want a comfort cruiser this is definitely worth a look. Well its been 2 years and everything I mentioned previously is still true. No problems, good gas mileage and you can spend all day driving it ant you won't be beat up when you're done. Really an outstanding traveling car. We're now a little over 3 years in and still no problems with this car. Get 30+ mpg at 75 mph on trips and just really comfortable to drive long distances. One thing I've come to appreciate are their outside cameras, they do an overhead view that's really helpful.

Likely my last Nissan
While the Murano is a good, basic SUV, likely my last Nissan. Both of my Murano's, this one included, had to have the transmission replaced. While done under warranty, never seemed to work as it did previously. Had multiple fit and finish issues Nissan refused to work with me on. An example was the tires that needed to be replaced at 12,000 miles. Also had several small plastic interior trim pieces break over first 18 months. Replaced by Nisson but annoying. Local dealership referred me to corporate who kept saying the issue was created by how I maintained the car. I checked the tire pressure each week so not the problem's cause. While 4 of my past 5 vehicles have been Nissans, this was likely my last. Too many better options out there.

Very good and very bad
This car has the nicest interior of all the mid-size luxury suv's we looked at. Great fuel economy for the size of the car and extremely smooth ride. Now to the bad. the tail gate stopped working, dealer reset it and it worked for a few more months, then said it would cost over 2k to fix. Next , the exhaust got very loud, turns out the catalytic came loose, had to be removed and re-welded. Finally the CVT transmission started malfunctioning at about 90k miles. Dealer wants 7k to fix. Never again.
