#370 of 614 Re: Buy and Import 2009 Murano LE into Alberta [davidv935] by stupfd Jul 10, 2008 (4:59 am)
Replying to: davidv935 (Jun 08, 2008 6:12 pm) 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! Replies to this message: azura (Sep 25, 2008 3:37 am)

Replying to: newcarguy5 (Apr 08, 2008 6:06 pm) 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.

Replying to: scion111 (May 13, 2008 5:27 pm) 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"? Replies to this message: reddevil4 (Sep 17, 2008 3:16 pm) scion111 (Sep 18, 2008 4:36 am)

Replying to: 2009le (Sep 17, 2008 2:39 pm) 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)

Replying to: 2009le (Sep 17, 2008 2:39 pm) 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?
#375 of 614 Styrofoam as a Sound deadener? by strasserider Sep 19, 2008 (8:50 am)
Anbody notice.......................   While checking out a S model today I was looking at the joint of the door (where the hinge connects to the body) below the last hinge there is a upward folded piece of sheet metal that separates the front fender well and the door/passenger compartment. I noticed a grey foam like material above that and sure enough it is styrofoam filler. I looked further and on both sides; more styrofoam WTH?   I hope that does not become a fungus issue when it gets wet. Is it better than foam or fiber fill like in Volvo?

Replying to: strasserider (Sep 19, 2008 8:50 am) I guess your question is a good one to ask the service department at your dealership. If fungus starts in that area maybe someday there would be a recall to cover the filler. As for now I guess it is a good insullation and soundproffing for road noise. And as far as safety the Murano and Rogue models carry a high safety rating.

Replying to: stupfd (Jul 10, 2008 4:59 am) Are there any issues with warranty? I am looking at a 2009 with 6000 miles at an auction. Nissan Canada says I need to prove the unit was purchase and registered in US for at least 6 months before I purchased it.
#378 of 614 Murano safety by psfod3 Sep 25, 2008 (3:02 pm)
I am about to get a 09 Murano but I am very concerned about its safety. While the insurance institute of highway safty give it a top pick. The national highway traffic safety admin. only rates it four stars for both driver and frount passenger. this is not very good for a new car in that class. The Rogue has 5 stars for driver and 4 for frount passenger.
