Due to the car not being aligned, the tires are bad at 15000 miles and Nissan could care less. The 20 inch tires $1200 for a set of four. Third and last Nissan.

Replying to: ron118 (Sep 10, 2009 7:05 pm) Good news I won my lemon law case on my 09 Murano SL.. and Nissan took my car today receiving full refund with help of an attorney they had to pay legal fees above what they owed me.I kept records about the smell and until the car broke down and had to be towed along with the service manager thinking it was bad hoses and replaced them and having the same thing happen to him. what i had been saying finally came to fruition and that was proof enough.They still don't know what is wrong with it.   I have moved on and bought a New Toyota Venza very happy regular fuel 21 miles a gallon city with a V6 more power then the murano.no more brakes squeaking and no anti freeze smell .My advice if you bring it in more then 5xs for the same thing and they cant fix it get a good lemon law attorney and let him take care of your issue. I will never buy a nissan again .
#6 of 12 Transmission, transfer case, power steering pump, what next? by frankenm Sep 14, 2009 (12:42 pm)
I bought a 2009 LE when they first came out a year and half or so ago. I have 32K miles on it now. Overall I love the car, but this past month I've started to have issues pop up. I first hear a slight whining noise from the engine - almost like a dull, quiet siren sound. As you drive and let your foot off the gas, you'll hear the noise and it will slowly decrease in picth as the car slows. When I brought my car in for 30k service I asked them to check it out. I also had squeeky brakes too.   I get a call back that the whining noise is actually from my transmission and not the engine. They didn't recommend driving at all and they would have to put in a brand new transmission. After about a week and half I finally got my car back. They said the brake noise is normal and I still had plenty of wear in the pads yet. This doesn't seem right to me but I haven't pushed back further yet. Unfortunately, after getting a new transmission the whining noise was still there. And now the power unlock button on the door handle doesn't work anymore either.   I brought the car back again to have the whine fixed and get the unlock/lock button fixed. Next I'm told the problem comes from the transfer case and they would have to replace it. During the final stages of installing the transfer case they also determine my power steering pump needs replacement. After a little over a week I get my car back. Thankfully, the whine is gone. They forgot to fix the door lock so I need to go back again. Now there's a new sound to deal with... at low speeds you can here a somewhat high-pitched grinding sound. My engine light is also on now too. I'll be going back to the shop this week to diagnose this sound, find out why the engine light is on and hopefully get my door lock button fixed.   I've never had a string of warranty issues like this before in a new car. I owned a G35 coupe before and a Dodge Durango. I'm wondering if I got a lemon here. Replies to this message: cobra14 (Sep 14, 2009 2:27 pm)

#8 of 12 Memory Seat Forgets! by rdking Oct 12, 2009 (3:10 pm)
I have a 2009 Murano LE. I have set the memory seat numerous times, each time following to the letter the instructions in the owner's manual for syncing the intelligent key to the memory I have set. After 3 or 4 times of entering the vehicle with the intelligent key, the steering wheel and seat start loosing the position I entered. The seat goes forward a little more and the steering wheel goes lower a little more each time I unlock the vehicle. I haven't taken it back to the dealership yet, but I was just curious to see if anyone else has this problem. Replies to this message: cobra14 (Oct 12, 2009 3:18 pm)

#11 of 12 SAFETY WARNING--KEYLESS by rootees Nov 12, 2009 (7:46 am)
I own a 2009 Nissan Murano, I left the car running at a valet infront of a hotel in philadelphia, I took the FOB in my hand, and was handing it off to the valet when someone jumped in and stole the car! Apparantly these cars with keyless systems will keep going as long as the engine is running, they do not shut off if they are not within range! NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD IN THE CAR AND THE CAR RUNNING! I was lucky, noone was in the car. Then the crackhead, went to a nissan dealer and had himself a new key programmed for my car. Most likely using the registration card in the glove box, and the nissan employee to stupid to realize a crackhead would not afford that car! no red flag there! Then worse than getting the car stolen, the car was recovered. Now its my problem again! Nightmare! I dont feel safe about these cars at all, and I want other people to be aware of these issues.

Replying to: rootees (Nov 12, 2009 7:46 am) Well, this can be still happened w/ a regular key. Most garages just tell me to leave the car running so that they don't have to waste time starting the car.   However, you should just activate the "Panic" button and let the car keeps beeping while he's driving...but I'm not sure how long it will keep beeping.
