| Just leased an 09 Murano SL AWD. Is anyone having problems filling up and getting a full tank of gas? Sounds like dumb question but I am unable to fill car up all the way. Seems like a lot of air in tank or something. Even filled it up real slow and no difference, dealer said to bring it in could be something clogged? Anyone else having problem or ideas on what it could be? Real odd. | |
| Mine is fine. just a thought, if something is discovered to have been in the tank and the dealer changes your tank, what contaminates could have entered the engine? btw...i accidentaly pulled my gas cap off of the nylon string it attaches to on the first fillup. good luck with your ride. | |

Replying to: mbe350nissan09 (May 06, 2008 12:49 pm) I have a new 2009 SL and have a vibration issue around 75 to 80 mph. At these speeds the I can see the passenger seat vibrate and the sun visors vibrate and I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and pedals. I had the car at the dealer a few times and they balanced the tires and claim it is fixed but it is not. I had a 2005 Murano SL and did not have any vibration issues. Any suggestions?

Hi, Actually the first time it happened I was on my way to the dealer for winter wipers. I mentioned the vibration and was told it happens from ice or snow frozen on the mags. It has 20 mags. Apparently it is like throwing extra weights on the overall balance and it puts it out of whach as if you badly needed a balancing. Anyhow after I left te dealer and everything was cleaned of it worked fine. I did have it yesterday but it is gone now that the car was indoors for a bit I guess things melted off the mags. I guess if they were not 20 inch mags I should plan on putting my winters on rims next year instead. Good luck. |

So, initially when I purchased my Murano, I LOVED the vehicle. Not only does it look great, but it drives nicely as well, Limited road noise compared to my older car, and the smoothness of the engine was not comparable. I test drove a LOT of vehicles, including the Infiniti FX, Highlander Limited, Acura RDX and MDX and Honda Pilot EXL. Now, after 6 months, I have some issues. The issues now are very annoying. I have this banging noise coming from my engine, which only happens when the vehicle is idling. Yes, they have done an idle reset on 2 occassions. It gets worse the longer the vehicle is in operation. When I start in the AM, barely noticeable, but by the end of the day, at evey stop sign or red light, the banging sound is at times ridiculously loud. Not only that, but the car starts to hesitate and vibrate as well. I took it to the Nissan dealer 4 times. The 1st 2 times they called it "normal". LOL!! Normal? My wife noticed this issue without me even saying a word and she's not a car person. Finally, a tech noticed the sound but could not pinpoint the issue and now they need some Nissan expert guy to actually come in and take a look at it. Think of a rumbling tumbling sound in a clothes dryer and that is what it sounds like with the car vibrating and shaking when it happens. Not sure what is going on here but it's bothersome. After 4 months, my windshield has now starting vibrating or making this tapping sound that is as though someone is tapping on my windshield with their keys. No accidents, no windshield was replaced, etc. Just started happening. Yes, I do a LOT of traveling, averaging about 1500-2000 miles/month, but being that I take excellent care of my cars, no abuse here. As a matter of fact, I am a slower highway driver, really never taking it over 70MPH. I am also getting 22.2 MPG which I think is very good considering it's an AWD vehicle. The fact I need to put 93 Octane in it and was not told that until the day I was signing the paperwork was annoying but whatever. With fuel prices having fallen below $2 for premium I cannot complain. So, now I'm in this great looking vehicle, but have the issue with the rumbling and windshield tapping issues. It's going in for service, and if it's not fixed this time, I'm gonna lose my cool. |
