Hapeeowwner, You do not have the Ipod integrated in the radio, the 20" alloys, heated rear seats, power tilt & telescoping steering wheel with memory, plus all LE's are AWD. You do have a very nice vehicle though.

Don't they sell the LE in Canada? Two differences that I can think of - odometer is in miles, not KM; and I don't think you can get daytime running lights on the US versions - something I was told was mandatory for all Canadian cars manufactured over the last 15 years. I don't know Canadian law, so you'll have to determine whether that's correct or not. Canadian cars used to be cheaper than the same US version, but I guess the declining US dollar has changed that. What's the price of gas in Alberta nowadays?

Fog lights by andytommo

I finally traded in my 04 Murano last month and got an Infiniti EX. I love it. So no more problems to report on this board, but, i was infront of a Murano last night, and i noticed its front passenger fog light was out, and that reminded me I had to post on here. I've noticed quite a few driving around with that same front passenger fog broken. And when I had mine, the dealer replaced that same light on mine twice! How can the drivers side one work for over twice as long?!
 
Just wondering if other people have noticed if one fog light has gone before the other, could it be a design flaw? I know if you hit mine in the right spot, it would normally come on again.
 
Just a thought.

Same here. This is the end of the fourth month I've had the 2009 LE and 3,000 plus miles driving mostly in the suburbs. No issues with any jerking or vibration. CVT needs some getting used. Tried both premium and regular gas and haven't noticed any difference in terms of mileage or acceleration.

They do sell the LE in Canada. The problem for Canadians is that you can't get the SL with leather...which is completely stupid. They force you to spend the extra $$$$. The base price on the S (cheap, no option model) is almost 38000.
I am in the process of getting an SL with heated leather and NAV from US. You do have to install daytime running lights. Canadian Tire sells the unit for around $80 and the OEM Nissan brand is $150. The speedometer does not have to be change to KM but can be done at a Nissan dealer for around $200 apparently. Duty is 6.1% at the border and GST and a $100 A/C tax is added. If you are driving it back to Canada, the dealer you buy from requires a min. of 72 hours before you cross the border to allow the paper work to reach the border crossing of your choice.
This is what I have just spent the last 3 days finding out! Worth every penny of savings though!

This is an interesting arguement in that no one really seems to know if you should or should not use preimum or regular. The question I have is, if you do use PREMIUM, are you saying 89, 91, or 93 Octane? Regular to me is 87 Octane. I have been putting in 93 since most stations now only offer 87, 89, or 93, not 91. Occassionally you can get 91.
 
Does anyone here use 89 and not 87, finding that the vehilce performs well?
 
I've only had my Murano for 1 month (2200 miles as I do a LOT of driving for work, have the LE AWD with everything EXCEPT Nav) and I'm getting, according to the computer, 20.9MPG.
 
I'm interested in knowing what others here are using as it relates to the Octane Level. Some, when you say premium, are saying 89 (slight upgrade) while others say TOP fuel at 93. There's a LARGE difference in $ between 89 and 93, but not 91 and 93.
 
Finally, I just received my Consumer Reports magazine and they rated the 09 Murano just below the 2008 and 2009 Lexus RX350...In that magazine, it says the fuel tank hold 21.9 gallons of gas? LOL? Really? I ran mine down to below empty where it said I only had 12 miles until empty and when I filled it, I was able to squeeze in 18.2 gallons.
 
Thanks for the response.

Bought 2009 LE month ago,great vehicle except the same vibration/jercking feeling at various speeds as it was described on this forum. Went to the dealer once, they balanced the tires. The problem remains, made another appointment for the next week. I wonder if anyone actually resolved this issue or it something "one would have to live with"?

I have the SL AWD model and so far so good. I have 7,800 miles on it and so far I haven't had any vibrations. I have heard other LE models have had problems with vibrations and only the LE models have 20 inch wheels. The SL models have 18 inch wheels.
At leased you are covered under warranty, (good luck)

I'm still having the problem. You can feel a slight, annoying shake in the seat of your pants and steering wheel. If I hold the steering wheel lightly, I can even see my thumbs slightly shaking at various speeds - mostly around 70-80 on dead flat highway. My dealer said he checked the tires/rims but I'm having a Nissan rep come out and drive the car with me. I definitley think it's either a balance issue or maybe tires - mine has Toyo 20" Proxes. What do you have?
