OMG, seriously, I don't know how anyone can miss the beeping. the car is practically screaming at you if walk away from it. My 09 LE does it and my 06 SL did it too

okay, i appreciate everyones good laugh/mocking over this, so let me answer your questions.. my model is a Murano S. I am not sure but i believe the LE and other models DO MAKE A WARNING NOISE ABOUT LEAVING THE ENGINE ON/ or have an engine cut off after five minutes. But, I repeat, THE MODEL S DOES NOT.
Secondly, sounds like someone has the most spacious garage available... we do not. we cannot walk around the front of our car... we barely have room to get the car into the garage. the engine is wonderfully quiet... and having been driving for 40 years, the new technology of the Start/stop button would be perfect if one also did not have to use the fob at the same time... it actually adds an additional step to turning the engine on and off... so when we "old timers" pull the fob out, it feels like we have turned the engine off with a key... which explains why my husband left the engine running for 3 hours after he parked at the train station... Nissan told me there is no repair possible, no upgrading the ignition to the LE model type, no warning signal to be installed. they suggested i put a note on my dashboard to remind me...hope i have corrected your information

I know with my 09 LE, I don't even need to put the key in that little hole in the dashboard of the car. Funny thing--- that's probably the one true reason I bought my first Murano (SL) back in December 2005. For me, the mere fact that I no longer had to fumble around looking for a key ring was the next best thing since maybe the discovery of electricity!!!! Truly stinks that they don't have a fix or a work-around for that problem. The quietness of this car is beautiful, but also a bit of a curse. I bought my 09 in March and it wasn't until late in April when we could finally open the windows up here in the cold northeast that I finally heard this awful whisle sound coming from the car when I accelerate. It took 3 trips to the service department and them telling me I'm crazy and me hunting around on line to finally find out there's actually a problem going on that needs to be fixed. I'm now waiting for the part to come in and just counting the days to when I no longer need to hear this horrible whistle!

I have an 09 LE with the awesome 20" wheels. I had a vibration problem, but they found something wrong with the brakes and fixed it quickly.

Today I pulled the key on my 09 sl in park with the engine running and 3 things occurred. 1. the engine kept running 2. there was one faint beep and 3. the message board in the dash lit up -NO KEY when I opened the door. It is what it is.

to jayrider..
a faint beep...not on mine. shouldn't the dashboard message say ENGINE ON or TURN ENGINE OFF? Do you know if your engine would have turned itself off after five minutes or would it stay on?
i'm usually half way out of the car when i take the key out so i'm not really looking at the dash.... seems Nissan is much more concerned about telling you your door is open or your headlites are still on then reminding you that you might be asphixated ....

No doubt about it -- it's a crappy set-up with dangerous possible consequences. Now that I know I'll stay vigilant.

I purchased a 2009 SL AWD in May of 2008 and have about 9k miles. So far very satisfied and no problems. However, I am hearing a lot lately a rattling sound while driving as if it is coming from the windshield. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Also, is there a way to play an IPOD other than the adaptor that goes into the 12v outlet and plays through a radio station?

The rattle near the windshield is most likely the black plastic trim piece that is located under the windshield wipers (on the exterior, lower area of the windshield. Many have found this piece to rattle/tap against the window causing an annoying rattle.
As for the IPOD.... Hopefully an aftermarket or factory IPOD adapter like found in the LE will surface... Many an owner looking for the answer to that question.
Cheers
