#11 of 2175 Do it again mmms? by dweiser Mar 14, 2003 (7:08 am)
I've had my Murano AWD SL since Feb. 1st and I would definitely buy it again if it were Jan. 31st. I had 5 Subarus (4 Outbacks and 1 WRX) until the Murano and while Subaru is a fine car too, I sit higher in the Murano, it has more fun gadgets, and is a more luxurious vehicle.
#12 of 2175 re new purchase by baataboom Mar 14, 2003 (11:37 am)
I would also purchase again. We bought an SL AWD with Leather, Premium, VDC, Nav, etc. And would do it again. In the end we got a very good price. But I would probably go to a different dealer the next time.   We've owned Infinitis in the past and loved the treatment. So far, I've been disappointed in the afterbuy experience. Maybe that's just the difference between the brands.   We do enjoy the vehicle, though!

#13 of 2175 mmms, do it again, yes by gust334 Mar 14, 2003 (3:39 pm)
In hindsight, I think I should have insisted on the dealer eliminating the popping noise before I accepted delivery, but we all assumed it was just something loose near the spare tire. See Murano discussion #775, 849, 905, 1027, and 1062.   However, I am now pretty happy with the vehicle itself. If a building collapsed on mine, insurance paid the loss, and I was out shopping again, I'd head back to the Nissan dealer to see if they could do any better on the price this time. And I think I'd get the all-weather mats and the splash guards installed, too.
#14 of 2175 windshield distortion by sunbu95 Apr 03, 2003 (9:29 pm)
the lower few inches of my Murano windshield is wavy-distorted. This is noticeable on steep hills, like my driveway. Maybe not a big deal. I dk if I should have it replaced on warantee or let it go. They (Nissan)keeps obsessing about my satisfaction questionnaire, so I have to decide. Any thoughts? Jim
#15 of 2175 absolutely get it fixed but by dklanecky Apr 04, 2003 (5:01 am)
Point it out to the dealer so that it's noted on the car's record and then I'd wait for a few thousand miles (right up to the expiration of the bumper to bumper warranty if it doesn't bother you to much).   One of the few complaints that I have with Missan vehicles is that the front glass seems to be "softer" than it could be?   I've replaced both of the windshields on my Maximas (one at 150k, and the other at about 35k) due to lots of chipping and marks from all of my highway driving.   Then of course I suppose it could be my fault from the way I drive.
#16 of 2175 My Murano Windshield Is Distorted Also by dweiser Apr 04, 2003 (12:45 pm)
Hi Sunbu95. The windshield in my Murano is also distorted down low and by each corner. It bothered me quite a bit at first and still does if I look out the windshield down low very near the pillars while moving. Glad to hear someone else also has that problem (I guess). I will definitely mention it to the service dept. like dklanecky said to get the problem recorded and then fixed at a later date but still under warranty.
#17 of 2175 Problem w/Murano by xraymin Apr 06, 2003 (5:08 pm)
Has anyone experience with warning lights re. ABS, VDC, AWD, & SLP all come on at the same time? My wife's new Murano has done so twice now without other apparent problem with driving. Local Nissan dealer cannot figure out the problem nor a solution. It seems to occur with driving in slushy/snowy conditions. The lights will remain on despite improved road conditions or shutting off the ignition. The dealer is recommending replacing mother board of ABS module.

#18 of 2175 xraymin, not mine... by gust334 Apr 06, 2003 (8:34 pm)
I haven't experienced that problem, but those systems are all inter-related so the dealer's advice sounds good.   Have you checked the pressure in all four tires manually, to ensure they are all at least 33psi and under 44psi when cold, and that they are all within 1-2psi of each other? Weird tire inflation can confuse the ABS, VDC, and AWD systems. (What is SLP?)
#19 of 2175 gust134/xraymin by dklanecky Apr 07, 2003 (4:26 am)
SLP is the Traction Control System, related to engine management, VDC, AWD system. I agree with Gust 134 in that you follow the dealer's advice.   The best benefit of following the dealer's advice is that you've just gotten a major piece of the potentially most expensive area to work on repaired.   This repair gives you a "partner" in the performance and diagnosis of any future issues related to any of the these systems.   I always play "dumb" whem making a "first" visit to the dealer for repairs. Let them show you how smart they are with their diagnosis and let them make the suggestion as to what will fix the problem.   Then if anything doesn't work out as they expected, their guilt will sometimes get you much further down the road quicker and at a lower cost to you.   Since your still under the bumper to bumper warranty, your decision is easy.
#20 of 2175 nissan murano door locks and AWD by barryq1 Apr 08, 2003 (4:42 am)
I have the murano sl awd but cant understand how AWD functions if it goes off after 19 MPH. after 19 MPH you get front wheel drive. with awd off all the time what type of drive do you get..   Re: door locks....I locked myself out of vehicle 3 times with the engine running. When driving the vehicle i lock all doors. when i stop for gas i open driver side door and the locking nob automatically opens up, but when i push the door open i accidentally close the nob. I thought the locking nob should automatically open but it doesnt. When using power door locks everything is fine. does anyone else expoerience this problem.
