I’ve had the Platinum model about a month, and until last week I loved most every aspect. The tech is not intuitive, but I feel in time I can learn most of the features. It seems most new cars have this frustrating problem. Last week as I was driving a warning light popped up which I couldn’t interpret. When I arrived at home a few minutes later I parked in the garage to unload. I went back out a few minutes later to see what the warning icon couldn have indicated. The car would not start—totally dead. After a few hours I tried again, and it started with no warning lights. The owner’s manual was not helpful. So, yesterday I was driving and three warnings came on. I was able to drive to the dealership. My concern was that they couldn’t take it in to diagnose or repair the problem for a week or ten days because lack of service workers. So now do I drive and get stranded or stay trapped at home for fear of driving? I have no other vehicle. I am upset with the dealership here in Denison TX as much as with the car. UPDATE: After a confrontational meeting at the dealer they finally admitted the part needed to fix my warning lights sensor is UNAVAILABLE. No idea when, or if, they can get it. I really love this car apart from this one issue, but it is a BIG issue. The ProPilot won’t work, so there is no cruise control, lane departure, steering assistance,etc that is activated with it. Don’t even know if airbags will work. What’s with Nissan?

Bought the 2025 Nissan Murano Platinum in April. Lane detection sensor failed & had to be replaced. Rain sensor now doesn't work (may never have), dealer says wind shield has to be replaced, but is on back order with no estimated delivery. Numerous intermittent issues that come & go. Cannot be pinpointed as they just pop up & then don't reappear until vehicle decides to do it again. Dealer has no clue how to address. Most likely these are software bugs in need of an update. Here is a partial list: * Driver side mirror goes down backing up, but fails to return to proper setting. * Rear camera is blank when backing up * Screen behind steering wheel sometimes shows "audio system muted" when it is playing fine, or no audio source displayed (just blank), etc. We wonder what will show every time we get into vehicle *Seat in proper position based on memory seat setting. Turn off car. Seat should go backward to facilitate exit. Instead it goes forward making it hard to exit. Next time works fine. Would be great to get some feedback if others are experiencing these same issues or others to help determine if these are universal problems or unique to my vehicle.

I bought my Murano at the end of July and I have sold at least 13 of them now. I can give a good breakdown of each trim level. I’m happy in the base model of the Murano you still get heated seats and the wireless car charging pad. Just crossed 8k miles in my SV Murano and it’s been great so far. I changed the oil and rotated the tires at 6500 miles. It’s gotten super smooth now but while the powertrain is great it could be better. Especially while you are breaking the powertrain in there can be some inconsistency to how it feels driving day to day. The 2.0 L Turbo 4 Cyl paired with the 9 speed is definitely more satisfying and fun to drive than the V6 CVT combination. The V6 Murano has more power and takeoff from an idle position like a stoplight but that being said the new Turbo engine feels fast and powerful especially when you get through the first two gear shifts. The Murano just isn’t the type of vehicle meant to be fast 0-60 but like I said it feels powerful and fast even when compared to the previous V6. You don’t really need sport mode in the Murano because it has great pickup especially if it’s already moving and not idle but it can be fun when you are merging onto a highway or you want to pick up a lot of speed quickly. I also love the handling of the new Murano. It’s so sharp and responsive and the steering almost feels like it’s assisting and steering for you sometimes. The leatherette wrapped steering wheel itself is AMAZING it feels so good in your hands and the flat bottom is awesome. The handling and steering wheel itself may be my favorite part of the vehicle. Like the previous Murano’s the interior is amazing. Seats are super comfortable especially in the Platinum and the extra width they added to this model significantly increases space between your leg and the door and your leg and the middle console. Compared to my last Murano where my legs would touch the door and the console wall. The tech and displays are AMAZING. The tech and interior is where this Murano really blows away the previous generation. Double 12.3 inch displays with crystal clear camera quality and 360 camera on SL and Platinum trims. You also get built in google maps and google assistant on SL and Platinum Trims. The interior of the 25 is just overall much nicer and more spacious then the previous. Apple car play and Android auto are wireless on all trims. As someone who sells them and has driven each trim a lot I will breakdown which trim is the best value and what you add between trims. The SL additions you don’t get on the SV -Ambient Lighting -Silver trim along the front dash reflects rainbow and changes texture -Google maps and Google Assistant -Panoramic Moon Roof -Option of full Alloy Wheels -Heated Steering Platinum Additions from SL -Cooled Seats -Massage Seats -Premium Semi Aniline Leather with 3 color options (more comfortable seats and an upgrade from leatherette) Beat value is probably the SL but you can argue the SV. I think every trim level is overpriced by about 4k. If they lowered the base price of them, they would all be priced where they should be. BUT that being said, Nissan gives big discounts on the Murano, and if you have good credit, you can get 0% APR. A few months ago when I bought my SV, I got it for 36,500. A 7,500 discount from the sticker price of 44k. Also, no, that discount wasn’t because I worked there; that was just the dealer cash and rebates Nissan was giving to sell the Murano. They aren’t still doing rebates and incentives that big RIGHT NOW, but if you don’t qualify for 0%, you can still negotiate 3 to 4k off each trim level pretty easily, and if you do qualify for 0%, you can still get a couple thousand off if you negotiate. Overall, great car, and it’s too early to give it a reliability and longevity score, but I think if you properly maintain the Murano, it will last a long time. The previous generation just won the JD Power 3-year reliability for midsize SUVs; it’s only 3 years of data, but in that 3 years, the Murano has been found to have the least issues. Not really too relevant to the new model since it has a new powertrain, plus it feels like and is a completely different vehicle than the previous gen. My point is I think Nissan is a great and underrated brand right now. Final Verdict I love the new Murano and I like it significantly more than my 2023 and the previous gen. Love the Turbo 9 Speed combination. It is so satisfying and smooth. Exterior looks super sharp and I have gotten quite a few compliments on the look and people asking me if it’s electric. It’s a quiet car. The 9 speed can be a little loud on occasion, which factors into my inconsistency statement regarding the powertrain. I love the little faint whistle of the Turbo when you accelerate. I talked to some of the other owners I’ve sold and they all are really enjoying it as well.

Worst Car I have ever owned in my life

I bought the 2025 Platinum version of the Nissan Murano and was initially thrilled with my purchase. It is an absolutely beautiful looking vehicle. This was where it ended, 2 months later at 8000km’s my problems began, my vehicle would not start and the code stated Service AT - Power Reduced. I had my vehicle towed to the dealership with Nissan assist and they cleared this code and the service department told me they think it’s a one off and maybe I pressed Power off before park and this was probably the problem. Keeping in mind the temperature this day was 26 degrees. I took the vehicle back and 2000km’s later at 10000km’s approximately my Murano stranded me again and it was required to be towed again with the same code Service AT power reduced. The temperature was 28 degrees and this time the service department had the Murano in the shop for 3 weeks while it replaced the ECM & TCM modules. I received my vehicle back and 3000kms later I got stranded again and my vehicle wouldn’t start the temperature this day was 32 degrees, and I had video recorded my issues , which is confirming what I was saying. This time the service manager told me oh we missed a service bulletin which required the ECM & TCM replacement also have the BCM module replaced as well. I had my vehicle towed was insistent that this has to be temperature related and every time the temperature is above 25 degrees the vehicle doesn’t start. I was told that is purely coincidental and my vehicle should be find, and was emailed that if my vehicle failed again in this manner the service Manager would personally initiate a buyback as my vehicle was showing signs of being a Lemon. I took this service manager at his word and took my vehicle back at the beginning of October 2025 at 14000kms approximately. Approximately 7 months later and my vehicle was working fine during the cooler months and I. may 1st at 24 degrees my Murano did not start and stated Service AT - Power reduced essentially immobilizing the vehicle. My vehicle was once again not working, and this was 19000km’s later at 32000kms. The service manager stated that oh now we know what the issue is and the vehicle just needs a software update, I reminded this service manager of what his promise was of initiating a buyback, he stated okay I’ll try, he got back to me and stated Nissan Canada would not initiate a buyback and I am stuck with this vehicle. I have never hated a car or a human being more than I did in this moment. I took the vehicle back, and approximately 500kms later it stranded me and my wife , with the code Service AT- Power reduced. This is the worse vehicle I have ever owned and I will always distrust Nissan Canada for the rest of my life as I view them and their representatives as nothing more than liars and manipulators.

The Murano Mystery

Love the interior , love the ride . Like the view of the back . Undecided about the front. Coming from a 2014 Acura RDX the Tech is pretty awesome. The mystery is the drivetrain it seems like the engine and transmission are totally out of sync with each other. I know reviewers have mentioned this repeatedly but it always seems to be in the wrong gear. It is a noisy motor. Does all sorts of moaning and droning constantly. Also the turbo lag is noticeable all the time. Not my first Nissan and I'm probably not going to keep it much longer than a year or two at the most. Hoping there is a software fix available for the drivetrain. Pretty heavy case of buyers remorse here.
