People choose cars for a variety of reasons. Style,utility,price,reliability,warranty, prestige,exclusivity etc. The choice is personal and complex for some--simple and clear for others. There really is no correct answer regarding choice. Some want an appliance and some want luxury. To each his/her own.

Hold down your lock & unlock buttons on your fobkey/remote for 2-3 seconds to switch from horn on lock (on & off) mode.

03 Hesitation when driving by pardawg
Mar 26, 2009 (9:39 am)

I have an 03 Murano SL AWD, sometimes (ususally when it's hot out) if i'm crawling in traffic or parking lot. I press the gas pedal & my murano will get into a mode of hesitation. It will only happen when in very low rpm, but sometimes it takes 3 seconds before I can move forward. (scarry in traffic) It will not stop doing this, unless I stop/restart the engine.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Grille by hayneldan

My son bought a 04 coming off lease and although it is most always garaged in the Chicago area the grille seems to be peeling, is it plastic or metal? is this problem occuring to someone else? THe rest of the car is fine with no scratches or dings.This may a repeat because I was only able to read up to page 30. Is there a recall on this?

I don't know how common the problem is, but I have an 03 & have the same problem.

My 05, which has been bulletproof, has one or two small blebs. The silvery "coating" is plastic, bonded to a plain plastic grille. I would think extreme heat in sun can do this...as of now, have not bothered to show dealer or worry as there are only two, and neither is more than half an inch...60,000K hot California summers parked outside days.

21,000 miles and warranty ends in July... by whitall

My factory warranty on my 2006 ends in July. So far no trouble....
 
Any idea what an extended would run me at this point? (I guess only aftermarket warranty would apply-Not Nissan?)
 
I plan to keep it another 3 years or so and average about 8,000 miles per year. That may change as the kids go off to school and I visit them and work more.
 
Is the warranty worth the investment? What major components are most trouble prone.
 
The main reason I like warranties is that I don't have to research and question and worry about who is fixing it, are they fixing the right thing, am I being overcharged. I don't have a "normal mechanic" as my last car had extended warranty (got that thrown in as part of my deal with Dodge) and my Chev truck is out of warranty, but we've been lucky.
 
I assume it will be $1,000+. If 1,000 I'd do it, if more maybe I'd just put that money in a rainy day fund (or a broken car fund) and keep it.
 
Thoughts anyone??

whitall, I think you should at least ask a Nissan dealer to see what they will do. As far as I know, they will offer the Nissan "extended warranty" anytime before the warranty runs out. I bought a "Gold" (but not the Gold Preferred) when I bought my Murano new, but I believe they will sell that anytime up until warranty expiration. I think its just a matter of price. And Nissan's price and terms and conditions would certainly give you a guide on evaluating third party extended warranties.

I have posted several times, mainly early on when Throttle Position Sensor was a problem causing sudden non-acceleration. This blog space told me exactly what was going on, and my Nissan dealer recognized it, replaced it under warranty at 7,000 on my '05. That is the ONLY problem in now 60,000 miles, and I have seen the "complaints" on this site decrease as Nissan has addressed problems one by one...and today's Murano, I hope and trust, is a better product...but who knows. As for warranty...I always LEASE a vehicle for three years to see if I really WANT to keep it...if so, I purchase it, and did so for this Murano, which is bulletproof for us. I DID buy the best Nissan warranty before 36 months, and did so because a simple window motor or a CD changer going out can kill you, not to mention a transmission. It is worth it. Have I had to try and use it? No. Do I want to? No.
But if I do, it spells out quite clearly that I don't pay anything. And even with a bulletproof car...so far...that is worth sleeping over. OK? As a surgeon...it is like health insurance...please God don't let me need it, but glad I have it. John B. CA
