“I purchased my Murano 5 years ago and I've had a few issues but been very happy with purchase other than 2 things! 1 the wheel valves have been a common issue in on my third set of tires but I'm constantly having to air them due to the valve in side the tire! Mine isn't listed under recall it there is a recall on other Nissan with same issue. The second my stereo locked up cds and the warranty didn't cover this was a week after purchase that was. Wet disappointing after paying over 30,000 for it!”

“Damp patches appeared on the original alu rim 20'. It happened app. 3 months after using my new car. I have reported this fact to service during maintenance, but I was brushed off (it was my filling). Additionally the middle holes have sharp marks after rotating and balance in dealer service. I want to highlight that all works with wheels and tires have been discovered in service. I have reported this fact too, but without effect. …”

“I have never owned a vehicle with this many blind spots! I have had so many close calls and it finally caught up to me. I was backing out of a parking place and backed into a car. The car was double parked but I looked in my mirrors and over my shoulder and never seen the car. This being said, I was already scared of my Murano prior to this because of the side blind spots. I have almost hit pedestrians, cars, and bicyclists crossing the street on numerous occasions. The vehicle where the side mirrors are is way to big, along with the mirrors, there is a huge blind spot. …”

“On tuesday, august 2, 2011, I was driving on a major expressway. While trying to exit from the expressway, the steering wheel on my 2009 Nissan Murano locked, making it impossible for me to turn it. I was almost hit by an 18-wheel semi-trailer truck. The incident resulted in black skid/tire marks on the side of the road by my car and the truck that was trying to avoid from hitting me. Nissan's contracted towing service had to tow my vehicle into Nissan's shop since the vehicle could not be driven safely after the incident. …”

“The keyless remote appears to lock the doors and set the security system. The door handle was pulled allowing entry into the car while it was thought to be locked. The alarm sounds but the car can be accessed when it appears and sounds as if it is properly locked. Only the drivers door locks. The door can be opened while in motion from the inside.”
