#12 of 31 CVT question by autowrite Jan 12, 2008 (8:20 pm)
I have been told that since the transmission is a CVT your do not need to have a gear selection for 1 to 4,5,6 speeds just D for forward. Apparently some drivers need to use the shift; although each shift makes to difference. Correct me if I am wrong. Replies to this message: 09muranosales (Feb 04, 2008 5:47 pm)

Question:   2006 Nissan Murano S; Has anyone gone any distance on dirt, and / or poor roads, not horse trails, but roads qualified as 4 wheel drive vehicles only. If so, what was your experience?   If such roads were navigated, were there any vehicle failures or breakdowns? And if so, were the problems related to the vehicle, or inflicted issues, (ie; rocks, logs etc.)_?   The reason I ask these questions is simple. We are considering moving from an urban area of Nevada to an area considered...... well... rural. Real rural. The nearest town, Eureka, is 17 miles west, and everything is graded dirt, and right now, is covered in 6-12" of snow and ice. The snow and ice is of no real consequence, as the cable chains provide absolute grip.   My concern is the navigation during the non" snow months, with mud, creek crossings and sand / silt pots. I have seen multiple posts on a very wide spectrum of Murano issues and have commented on several, but right now, I do not consider 34 miles of off road use as experience, and any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: mmreno (Jan 25, 2008 9:12 pm) I always suggest people to CALL YOUR DEALER and ask these questions, as opposed to the general public. A reputable Nissan dealer can usually advise you in these regards. First off, the Murano is one of the most reliable vehicles on earth, and will not just break down - Nissans usually do not do that. Here' s an article from the Australian which may shed some light on your musing. ">link title Replies to this message: infinitimn (Feb 05, 2008 3:57 pm)

Replying to: 09muranosales (Feb 04, 2008 5:52 pm) Thanks for your expertise, but your linked article is inapplicable to mmreno as the vehicles discussed in the Australian have right-hand drive and mmreno's truck has left-hand drive.

i was in central Queensland (Mackay) visiting daughter and Grand daughter Sept. and Oct. 07. The local Nissan dealer had an "S" model on the floor listed (window price altho no sticker) for $ 53,000 AU. Exact same as the U S version except rt. hand drive.

Replying to: homeouner (Feb 11, 2008 5:22 pm) An Australian "S?" Do you mean the ST? I thought they went ST, Ti, and Ti-L.   But it comes with Xe headlighs and Bose stereo, Standard! which I didn't think the US 07 "S" came with. I think the Australian 07 base model is a little nicer the the US one...   _fitc_ Replies to this message: homeouner (Feb 14, 2008 12:33 pm)
#20 of 31 tow hitch wiring loom? by petes2 Feb 13, 2008 (12:08 pm)
Does anyone have details of the Nissan part number for the loom. My local Dealer asks $800 to fit hitch and loom! Replies to this message: kjsmitty (May 25, 2009 4:57 am) jgraminski (Jun 02, 2009 3:30 pm)

Replying to: fitc (Feb 11, 2008 6:29 pm) The MO in the showroom had cloth uphostery, no roof rack or sunroof and a"S" or what ever on the rear. My point was to show the much higher price in Aust. It cost me $1950.00 US to rent the Aust. version of a Toyoya compact hatch back for 47 days, with a 7000 KM limit where the same car at the Norfolk VA. airport rents for $1150.00 unlimited milage. Both all taxes included.
