Recalls are based on volume of customer complains and the safety threat it generates. Apparently there were not enough complains of sebring/stratus owners, to generate a nationwide recall. What can I say?
Except for its eye catching style, this CUV , for the money you pay for compare to a sebring/stratus ( 30K+ vs 18K- before discounts), it is comparable with a sebring/stratus, from reliability p.o.v.
I am in contact with the Eng. community of Nissan Tech Ctr in Livonia, Mi, ( those dilligent chino-indians ) and know for sure that are even discussing plans to build this car in the US ( hybrid?), just to make it more reliable q-ty wise.
 
Because so far it is full of quality issues starting with fit and finish, going through electrical and ending with powertrain. Sounds weird, ha??
 
When was the last time you heard about a 100% Japs brand being recalled so massively ?

my mom has a 2003 murano, and this would be her first recall if it affects her VIN. i wouldnt say there are tons of quality problems on the murano, not at all! now the quest/titan/armada on the other hand...well, lets just say the training in canton, ms wasnt comprehensive enough
 
the sebring/stratus/etc issue has websites and forums dedicated to it - seemingly there are enough out there to warrant a recall, but chrysler/dodge decided not to recall it...
 
and i definitely wouldnt call the murano on par with the sebring/stratus twins quality wise - having both in the family, there are FAR more problems with the strat, than the murano!
 
from my little corner of the world...

The Nissan Murano is built and delivered from Japan, I certainly hope they can make the necessary repairs for a serious problem.
 
I really and truly appreciate my 2005 Nissan Murano SL, Front-Wheel Driven vehicle, with my trade-in and my invoice pricing out of the dealership, the purchase price was $13,000.00, that INCLUDES everything.
 
I purchased on June 28, 2005 and the car was delivered to my home, along with all necessary documentation. So far, I have not really tested the fuel efficiency with the Murano and am curious as to how economical this car will perform; with its smooth styling and aerodynamic design it should perform as expected if not better in that area, better than any other small, compact SUV on the marketplace.
 
Everyone out there that is an owner of a Murano, check your mailbox each day for a document from Nissan of North America with locations to take your vehicle in for inspection and repairs to your vehicles, of course this recall will be at Nissan's expense.
 
THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE FOR ALL OF YOU AT THIS GIVEN TIME.

100% "Japs" brand? Slur aside, I could swear that Nissan was 44.4% owned by Renault.
 
This recall affects... what... 150,000 units? Weren't almost 100,000 more Honda Accords affected by a recent airbag recall?
 
The Murano's had it's issues but... let stick to the facts.

nissan is 44% owned by renault - but that doesnt mean they make cars in france. they have a controlling interest, but nissan will continue to be nissan, not nissan/renault. nissan owns like 15% of renault as well.
 
and yes, facts are good!

Agreed, thene. However, Renault's styling influence is very obvious on much of the Nissan car-based lineup. Some good, some not so good... Not so obvious are some of the co-developed powerplants and other componenty. Again... some good, some not so good. Thank goodness Renault's much better than they used to be!
 
I'm just pointing out that the Murano is hardly 100% Japanese and as a percentage of Murano's on the road, the recall is significant. But... there are larger, recent recalls issued from respectable Japanese manufacturers as well.

there certainly are *cough*toyota*cough*
 
anyways, the styling, especially on the murano, is very european, and influenced greatly and the quirky french cars. though i dont think its bad to have a unique design philosophy like nissan has - sure it turns off some people, but it also turns other people on! it is very polarizing, and regardless of the feeling people have, at least they have one...nissan is being noticed - thats what counts
