Replying to: leprechaun (Mar 07, 2008 7:39 pm) To be fair to Nissan I should give an update on our experience that I posted on 3/7/08. The AWD system did have to be replaced. However, Nissan agreed to cover the full cost of this. We were roughly 8k miles out of the warranty period, so I commend them for that decision. There was nothing wrong with the CVT. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it will last until the fall when we'll seriously consider getting something else.
#33 of 41 Low tire pressure indicator on after replaced 4 new tires(not from Nissan) by new6 Nov 07, 2008 (5:30 pm)
I had a 2004 and just replaced with 4 new tires, all the jobs are done by tire dealer, not from Nissan dealer. After the ride on Highway about 1hour at 120km/hr, the low tire pressure indicator turn on. I had to park and check all the tires, and they are in the good condition. That indicator turned off after i turn off and turn the engine back on. Any one have any ideal why this happen? Do i need to bring the truck to Dealer to check it out? Thanks for your help Replies to this message: RRAC (Jan 09, 2009 7:41 am) jayrider (Jan 09, 2009 7:57 am)

#36 of 41 LEMON... by amatista Jan 28, 2009 (7:01 pm)
I've begun the lemon law process for my '07 Murano. Here's a link to the first time the problem popped up, http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f133968/77!keywords=#77 ,with 1,400 miles on it it sputtered off the freeway. Crank sensor replaced. Six months later with 6,000 miles same thing, it started chugging on the freeway and stalled out, crank sensor again. The part was replaced and the car returned. Monday with 12,500 miles it did the same thing while I was on the freeway overpass, and I coasted to the shoulder. Crankshaft position sensor replaced. The service advisor swears they fixed it this time, but I'm not having it. I should have a call back from the regional specialist tomorrow, we'll see what they say, but nothing they say is going to make me keep this car...
#37 of 41 03 Murano bad tranny by suckerpunched Jul 28, 2009 (7:12 pm)
75,000 miles and now the tranny is going bad. The code says it needs a new valve body but the service folks say that it really needs a new tranny from Nissan at the small cost of $5000.00 I suspect if the valve body were replaced and everything worked out fine, we would never know and still hear the line, "you need a new tranny". Any input or help would be appreciated very much. I knew better than to buy a first year model and heck am I gonna pay for it.

Replying to: mike1111 (Jul 12, 2007 7:42 am) It may be just a few people as you say who are having tranny issues but I'm facing a $5000.00 repair because my tranny is deciding to go out at 75,000 miles. This is inexcusable and Nissan is taking the "old Detroit addage" of, ##$%^%$#$ YOU! You bought it and it's not our problem. I won't shut down Nissan but I can guarantee you I'll trash the NIssan to anyone that listens.

Murano 04 .78K review: Nothing but.....   I have an 04 murano with 78k miles. I thought it might be nice to let you know my experience. I dont come to this site regulary or follow any threads; I should have done that. Any way here is my 5 year and 78k murano owing experience. I had nothing but problems with this from the beginning. Around 20K check engine light came on and the throttle body had to be replaced. The mechanic who replaced it screwed it up so badly i had to leave the car with the dealer for two days. After may be another 5k miles, around 25-30k miles the engine mount had to be replaced and under warranty that was replaced; convincing the the mechanic there was problem with the engine mount wasnt an easy task. From the beginning it used make the zzz zzz noise when back up or slowing come to a stop. I was always told by the mechanics, nissan certified ones that is, it was cvt making that noise and considerd to normal. After about a year i was able to get them to check it out and they finally figured that out; bad engine mount was making the noise and it was replaced under warranty.   Most of miles are highway miles, I used to commute around 100 miles back and forth from work and that is why i have 78k miles. Most of these miles were from the first two years. I dont drive the car a lot now days because i work about 2 miles from home. I dod a 62 k (dont remeber exaclty when) service and there was no problems wih the car , that was may be a 1-1/2 years ago. Few days I was driving on the higway i started hearing a noise coming from the front passenger side, like that of race car or like the sports car kind of noise. I took it some local mechanics and they all gave different reason for the noise. Finally, I took the car to the dealer and the service advisor there, great guy, said it was the hub bearing that is making the noise and it had to be replaced and I told him I will be back the following day. I went back in there the following day and the service advisor said, lets take look at the car and he will call me once a machanic takes a look at the car. I got a call from him after 1-2 horus, I was really shocked by what he told me. Following things has to be replaced/fixed.   Hub Assembly right side Drive Belts(this is normal wear and tear) Axle seal is leaking cvt fluid and cvt fluid is low Front Control Arms Front Engine Mount(was replaced around 25k) Inner Tire Rods.   I dont know whole lot about cars, but is it normal to have these kinds of problems after 5 years. I dont know any one who has replaced bearings, engine mount or contorls arms on there cars. Is that normal? My sisters altima had a whole lot porblems but nothing like this. From reading the different posts, it seems like bearing related issue is common? Replacing engine mount twice in 4 years?. I dont think I will ever by a nissan again in my life time. The only reason I went for it because my friends and family’s maximma never had any problems and it was depenedable and reliable. I think i will equivate murano to the late 90’s and early 2000’s ford and other manufactures in terms of reliablity and quality.After all these problems i dont think i will ever buy nissan ever again. I didnt hit anything, like curbe or anything like that and I dont abuse my car.   From these forums i see people are really enjoying their car, i was like this too and wait untill 4-5yrs and 60-80K miles and then you will regret buying this. From reading all the comments in the forums and my experience murano is not a reliable car by any stretch of the imagination. The sad part about it is, nissan claiming these are normal tear and wear. Comon two engine mounts in 5yrs is normal? Let me know if any one of you had any problems like this. I would really appreciate your feed back.

Replying to: johnnyc2 (Oct 18, 2009 11:42 am) If you check the acura mdx/lexus rx350/audi Q7 posts you find plenty of disaster stories posted. Along with those posts there are folks who say they have zero problems. It appears that for whatever reason within any model there are problem vehicles. No way to tell what percentage they represent. Of course if you have a bad one then it might as well be 100%. I'm leasing -- costs more but no repair costs so if I bought a lemon -- would only have to keep it 3 years and say good-bye.
