Do you mean a high pitch "whistle" or a different squealing sound like a bad belt??
 
If you are referring to the high pitch squeal/whistle there is a Nissan Service Bulletin out for this exact noise. Our LE has the same - just haven't made it back in to have it fixed. Wife doesn't notice it either - just me with the window down etc....
 
See below, your Nissan Service Dept probably doesn't even know about it because they are clueless like all other Nissan dealerships.. Many have had the procedure performed and no more whistle!!
 
Good luck
 
TSB# NTB08104
 
For the record, the throttle body does NOT have to be replaced. Here is the fix description...straight from Nissan:
 
NTB08104
IF YOU CONFIRM A whistle noise coming from the engine during light acceleration, ACTIONS Unbolt but do not remove the electric throttle control actuator. Replace the actuator gasket. Reposition the actuator on the manifold and secure following the instructions in this Service Procedure. NOTE: The repair of this issue, if it should occur, is the repositioning of the actuator not the replacement of the gasket. The gasket is replaced because the actuator is being unbolted from the manifold.

New option package for SL? by mandymusika

Has anyone heard about this? Looks like we can get an SL with the Ipod adaptor and other LE features. Looks like the only option you can't get on the SL (that you can get on the LE) is memory seats now. Thoughts?
 
2009 Nissan Murano "360 Degree Value Package" Debuts
 
Nissan also announced the addition of a new "360 Degree Value Package" to the 2009 Murano lineup. Available now for a limited time on the Murano SL FWD or AWD with Premium and Leather packages, the 360 Degree Value Package adds Nissan Intelligent Key, Bluetooth(R) Hands-Free Phone System, iPod(R) adaptor, metallic-finish 18-inch alloy wheels, silver-finish roof rails and Murano's signature dual-panel moonroof. The 360 Degree Value Package is priced at $1,450, resulting in MSRPs of $33,280 (FWD) and $34,880 (AWD).
 
"The Murano with 360 Degree Value Package is not only a great overall value, it offers customers some of the great features that were previously available only on the higher priced Murano LE model on the Murano SL," said Meunier. "All 2009 Nissan Muranos continue to provide buyers with an exciting middle crossover packed with substance, style and value."

kjsmitty - I can not thank you enough for responding. I will be contacting the dealership tomorrow with the information you provided. And yes, it is a whistle noise. And like you said is very noticable when the window is down. Now that I know exactly when it happens I can hear it slightly with the window up if my radio is not turned up loud. But like you said also, the dealerships are clueless. Even the Nissan consumer affairs person told me she consulted with the Nissan techs and they said this is normal for this type of engine. That was on Monday the 11th. I told her that answer was unacceptable and I wanted to know why they would put such an engine in a vehicle. She was to get back to me and as of tonight (Wednesday) I have not heard back from her. I love the car aside from this one issue. Hopefully the information you provided will fix the issue.

I was very interested, but these are just starting to trickle out to the east coast. And by trickle I mean there's only like 20 being delivered before July 4th.
 
Also since they are in limited quality and new the deals on them are not nearly as swell. I was offered one in NJ for dealer invoice, none less on one with AWD. The offer was $32,980, but I didn't like the timeframe for delivery (July 2). I also found another dealership in Ohio (I travel a lot) that was getting one in a color I liked next week, but the cheapest I could get them on price was $33,300 (MSRP 35,980). I ended up getting a SL with moonroof, premium, leather, and tech for $33,700 (MSRP 37,525) that was on the lot. The $400 more seemed like a better deal...
 
All and all I'm kinda kicking myself because I want the iPod interface, but at least now I'll have the power tailgate, auto lights, and rain sensing wipers! LOL.
 
What does everyone else think?

2009 Murano Problems by mom2gr8girl

I was one of the 1st 09's on the road in my area. I have had 5 Nissan's in the past 3 years and have loved everyone of them. I have always wanted a Murano but the price was a little high.
In December 07 we were in a car accident and the lady that hit us head-on ended up supplying us with the funds for the Murano!
I have had it 1 year and 3 months and I HATE IT!
I have had electrical problems after electrical problem. So bad that the Radio turns on by itself. The key being in the house!
I am currently fighting with Nissan because they do not know what is wrong with it and I am tired of being stranded because this car that I have always wanted, will not start at times!!!
 
Is anyone else having Electrical problems or is it just my dumb luck??

I noticed the manual "recomends" 91octane. Has anyone noticed reduced performance with 87?

Since I drive conservatively -- no fast starts or hard accelerations- I have no complaints with regular gas.

I have noticed 4 more miles to the gallon on the highway. In town not a big difference.

I have used 87 octane in my 2009 Murano since the the start and I haven't notice any sluggish performance or pinging. I notice on one of the replies back to you that somebody said they got 4 more miles to the gallion by using 91 octane. So I have to make a trip to Utah next week so I am going to try a tank full of each octane and see if there is a difference.

I also have the tapping sound coming from the bottom part of the windshield (2009 SL FWD). It's just about the only thing wrong with my car, but it drives me crazy. It seems to go away when the windshield is wet and the wipers are turned on a couple of times. If you figure out the issue, please post the answer. i'll do the same.
