#484 of 609 Re: purchasing new murano [steve_] by Crochetlady May 01, 2009 (5:48 am)
Replying to: steve_ (Apr 29, 2009 8:20 pm) I purchased my SL 2009 last February and got everything you listed except the cargo mat for an out the door price of $33,500. But I also got 4 free oil changes and lifetime car washes (maybe not so free considering your price). Replies to this message: dennisg (May 19, 2009 4:41 pm)
#485 of 609 Performance Tires by daryll44 May 04, 2009 (2:59 pm)
My friend, the Muranophile, said that all LE's come with performance tires that wear out fast. I had this problem with other higher end cars and DO NOT wanna do this again. That being said, I want a Murano with leather, roof but not necessarily the NAV and/or DVD.   Is the tire thingie true? And if so what are my alternatives?

Replying to: daryll44 (May 04, 2009 2:59 pm) Don't know how they wear but could cost $250 per installed and balanced. Ask the dealer how much a set costs. 20" tires aren't cheap but if your paying 35k for a car you've got the money for new shoes from time to time.

Replying to: jayrider (May 04, 2009 3:28 pm) I don't know about the tire wear of the Performance Tires on the LE models but I heard earlier in the year that some of the LE owners with 20" rims were having vibration problems. I have the SL (AWD) model and haven't had any problem with tire wear or vibrations but then again the SL model dosen't have 20" rims.

Replying to: pasell3 (Mar 11, 2009 5:28 pm) No, unfortunately, no one ever got back to me about the wind noise. It's very odd and very annoying. It also seems to be sporadic. I am still trying to figure out if it's coming from the lower part of the windshield or the window/door. If anyone has resolved this, please let me know.

Replying to: scion111 (May 14, 2008 5:53 am) How did you solve your vibration problem? I test drove a new 2009 SL and the ride was sensational. Then I went to buy a new LE and there was a vibration throughout the vehicle. I could feel it in the floor, on the steering wheel and in the seat. It occurred at all speeds and during acceleration or coasting. I really want this particular car and color and this is the only one around within 100 miles that we checked. Anyone knowing how to solve this problem please let me know. Thank you. Replies to this message: scion111 (Jun 10, 2008 6:26 am) ronswm (May 06, 2009 3:41 pm) kjsmitty (May 12, 2009 6:09 pm)

Replying to: derbydude (May 06, 2009 1:25 pm) Never solved it completely. It's still there - exactly as you described, but not quite as bad. I LOVED my 2004 Murano but can't recommend the 2009 (with 20" rims? if that's the issue). Be sure to drive the LE you like on LOTS of smooth highways to see if you get the same result - you won't feel it on local roads - only highways.

Replying to: derbydude (May 06, 2009 1:25 pm) I also had that vibration problem. I finally took it in for diagnosis. My service manager said that the wheels needed balancing...even though it was a new veh w/new tires, he said it can go out of balance.   Well, happy to report, it solved my problem. No more vibrating at any speed.   Not saying it will fix ea owners problem, but worth a check. Replies to this message: kjsmitty (May 12, 2009 6:09 pm)
#492 of 609 2009 Murano SL AWD engine squealing noise by 09muranoslawd May 12, 2009 (5:15 pm)
I purchased my 09 SL AWD in Sept 08. I noticed after a few weeks that the engine would make a squealing noise when I was accelerating lightly and the RPM was between 1,000 and 2,000. I just took it in finally to have it looked at on May 4th because it was really starting to bother me. The dealership test drove other 09's and claimed it was a normal sound from what they could tell. I filed a complaint with Nissan's consumer affairs and was told the same from them...its normal. Is anyone else having this problem? I find it completely irritating that I am being told a squealing engine on a brand new car is normal??

Replying to: ronswm (May 06, 2009 3:41 pm) Every and I mean every Nissan I have purchased had a bad balancing job done at the factory. Two of the most current Nissan's had bad tires from the factory. My wife's 09LE was no different. Had to have the tires balanced after the first week. Also, check the tire pressure. Nissan pumps them up to near 50 psi for transport and sitting on the lot.   In our case, the tires on the 09 LE aren't bad now yet not perfect. The balance is perfect yet the tires are semi-crap and aren't true - as in they were borderline bad in regards to "road force" measurements on a Hunter balancer. Will wait to install something better in the future.
