Pros:
Can't say I believe there is any Pros about this car, dealerships, or
Nissan as a company. |
Cons:
All listed in the body of the review |
Review:
The car, along with talking with the Dealership, World Car, and after
talking with Nissan North America, hiding across the border in Canada, I’ve
lost all confidence with the car and the company selling the product. I’ve
had so many major components replaced, mainly the CVT transmission and the
break and accelerator assembly, total cost over $6,500, I can’t afford to
maintain and feel safe driving the car. All the complaints one reads on the
forums concerning this model I’ve experienced. Listed:
1. Battery not staying the course, early termination costing me over $120.
If I bought it from the Nissan dealership would have cost approximately the
same but only guaranteed for 12 months, not much bang for your buck.
2. Both visors had to be replaced; driver side before exportation of
warranty, and the passenger on my dime, $325.
3. Gearshift knob, replaced due to fabric desegregation, flaking off.
4. Alternator
5. Not under warranty, replacement of locking door mechanism back door
driver side.
6. Tires replaced at my expense, $550. rubber cracking and state inspector
highly recommended it for SAFETY concerns.
7. Doors lock at random, no salutations from Dealer. Taking the Corporate
line; “NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PHENOMENA BEFORE????”
8. While this piece of junk metal is presently in the Dealers for CVT
replacement, was called to inform me the motor mounts also need replacement,
approximate cost $500. Car only has 74,000 on it.
9. Never gave it much thought when backing out of my garage down a slight
incline, the brakes squealing like a pig, which is what this car is.
I’ve come to the conclusion I will have to move, sell the this piece of junk
can’t rely on it to safely carry of love ones; wife, children, and
grandchildren, on the super highways at the speeds and congestion of the
open roads. Nissan of North America definitely should be forced by the
“national highway transportation safety administration,” a bureaucratic arm
of the Federal Government, issue a recall and not only reimburse the hard
earned monies expended by the American Tax Payers, but because of SAFETY
concerns for human life. |

Pros:
Comfortable, unique looking (in 2003) |
Cons:
Expensive repairs, poor corporate support, wind buffeting with rear
windows open |
Review:
The tranny started making a noise at 93K. The "stealership" stated that
a bearing was going out and the tranny would have to be replaced...$5,700!
We appealed to their "Good Will" process and were denied. We had all of the
recommended services performed, etc... We are now dealing with Nissan
corporate. We'll never buy a Nissan again. |

Review:
I fell in love with the Murano when I first saw it and purchased one.
Very first road trip the transmission started having problems - wouldn't
accelerate or would get stuck in a low gear not allowing travel over 30 mph
on the highway. The 500 mile trip home was horrible. We kept having to
pull over, shut the car off, and wait 10 minutes for the computer to reset
itself. It took 3 trips into the dealer before they finally said it needed
a new transmission at 49,000. The radiator has cracked and been replaced
twice - $1,100 each. The xenon headlight went out. Took three days for
Nissan to get one in because "we don't stock them because they never go
out." Transfer case went out Saturday at 75,000. $4,000 repair. I've
turned it in to the regional specialist. |
