#2091 of 2175 Re: Uncomfortable seats [pbergn] by pbergn Nov 12, 2008 (12:15 pm)
Replying to: pbergn (Nov 07, 2008 12:45 pm) Guys,   Thank you for your concern and advice... By the way, I had a typo - it is murano 2009 and NOT 2008... The car is greate, I love it, it is just the driver seat that I am not able to get used to (the passenger one, and the rear ones feel not to bad)... The cushion is a little short and is slightly slanted upwards on the driver side. The seat cannot be entirely levelled... But I assume this is not a major flow. From what I understand, most of the people find the seat pretty comfortable, so it could be for some reason I can not get adjusted, or something... Can be an individual thing, I mean...   Anyway, slowly getting used to the new design... I repeat, it is a great car! Probably the best I have ever had, except for this problem...

Replying to: gokaden (Mar 27, 2005 4:53 pm) Yes! We just bought a new 2009 Nissan Murano. On a road trip on the highway with no one else on the road the windshield cracked horizontally about 14 inches. When we took it in we were told there was evidence of impact. We had the windshield repaired. Parked the car and left town for a week. Just came back and we have a crack (no impact visible) vertically! These windshields must be defective!   Mo Hyde Replies to this message: jodell1814 (Nov 20, 2008 1:55 pm) ronw10 (Jan 21, 2009 1:14 pm)

#2094 of 2175 Replacing 2006 Nissan Murano Antenna Mast by oilynails Nov 24, 2008 (8:12 am)
I just bought a 2006 Murano. It is in pretty good shape except for a missing antenna mast. Does anyone know where is the access point to the antenna? Do I have to remove the inside front ceiling light trim? Is it easy to pop it? Thanks
#2095 of 2175 Murano Vibration by gulfsentinel Nov 30, 2008 (11:48 pm)
Hi everyone,   I'm new here. I have a 2006 Murano thats covered 80,000 miles, and have a transmission shaft problem. Audible noise/rattle comes on at low speeds of around 40mph. No noise during normal acceleration, but only when I put my foot off the gas/coast and start to step on the gas gently. Problem is that the item is out of stock for the next month or so. Will this problem damage the differential if not replaced soon? Should I also change the bearing?

Steve and all posters, My 04 MO W/ 61K has developed a low sounding "purr" like an exhaust or air pipe leak upon light acceleration. Has anyone out there encountered this noise coming up from the caul of the engine compartment. Also how many quarts of trans oil to refill the the trans after a drain. Thanks Replies to this message: shirneen (Dec 11, 2008 5:15 am)

Replying to: homeouner2 (Dec 10, 2008 3:41 pm) Had the same problem with my 04. The "purr" was a small rust hole where there is a bend in the pipe coming out of the muffler itself. Nissan said the WHOLE thing needed to be replaced at a cost of over $500. I found an "old fashioned" garage and they cut the piece out, bent a new piece of pipe and welded it in. They charged me $35 (yep). Works great...passed inspection with no problem!
#2098 of 2175 homeouner Re:: CVT oil change by homeouner2 Dec 17, 2008 (9:24 pm)
Steve,I posted a few weeks ago on how many Qts.of oil needed for s trsns. refill on a 04 morano. Has any one answered yet. A service writer at my dealership said the oil was develeped by NASA and is good for 300,0000 miles. There is no paper filter filter as there is on regular trans. Maintennence people at my dealerdhip said the sump holds from 2 qts, to 5 qts . He said to drain and replenish.???

Replying to: homeouner2 (Dec 17, 2008 9:24 pm) I don't see an earlier post from you about CVT fluid. Maybe it got lost back when you were posting about your tires?   Anyway, I don't think NASA is developing transmission fluid for automobiles, but maybe they contracted with Pennzoil or some outfit for research and it spilled over into the Murano CVT fluid. (link)   The Edmunds Maintenance Guide says to inspect the transmission fluid every 15,000 miles. I don't see a change interval for it. It doesn't wear out like motor oil.

Replying to: homeouner2 (Dec 17, 2008 9:24 pm) Dear Murano Owner,   The CVT oil needs to be replaced ~60,000 miles. You can do this yourself. The plug is on the bottom of the CVT case (like an oil plug). Remove the dip stick up top to allow air to flow through. Purchase the oil only from a Nissan dealer; use no substitutes. You will need about 10-12 quarts ($21.00 ea.). Drain out as much as you can (~6 qts.); replace plug; replace the same amount that you removed through the dip stick throat. Run the car for 1-2 days to cycle through the new oil. Repeat the drain & fill process (best if oil is warm). The 2nd change gets out the oil stored in the torque converter.   After doing all this I advise that you replace the car with a Toyota or a Honda; I am. Mine has been a maintenance nightmare ('03 Murano SE owner).   Good luck.
