2005 Nissan Murano
I just purchased a 2005 Nissan Murano with 38k miles back in early Dec. of '08 and I am experiencing the following issues so far, let me know if others have or are experiencing these same issues.
1) radio issues - no sound from the radio in these WI very cold temps - radio is on in the display just no sound coming out...sound comes on after about a half hour of warming up. CD player skips excessively...especially on a bumping road - very annoying!
2) rattles - annoying rattling coming from the passenger side dash up by the windshield...seems like the dash panel is loose or something...
Currently, trying to work with the dealer on getting this stuff fixed but process is moving very slowly. Don't have extended warranty left either so I hope these issues are not very costly or that the dealer will take care of. Let me know if anyone else has experienced these issues before? BTW I live in Madison, WI...so temps around here lately have been well below zero...but still don't think the radio shouldn't work??
Thanks for your input!

As far as the dash rattle I was hearing...they did put some insulate in the dash panel on the passenger side and that did take care of the original rattle I was hearing; however, I am now experiencing new annoying sounds. Asked the dealer about those and they checked my vehicle and can't pinpoint exactly what it is but it does seem to still be on the passenger side of the car and around the glove compartment...they said that there is nothing really they can do b/c the glove comp. is in correctly and unfortunately, it rattles over a bumpy road. They said when they take care of a mysterious noise sometimes others surface so that is probably the case for me. They also said that in these very cold WI temps the car is cold and most of the inner compartments are plastic which is very common to rattle when very cold (makes sense). So, basically when the temps warm up the rattles should go down or away and I should note that the rattles are gone when on a smooth highway or road. My advice at this point is to take it to see how much it would cost you to have them take your car apart to determine the rattles b/c my dealer offered that but I would have to pay....which I only bought this car last month so I didn't feel I should have to pay nor would I want to...I have decided that I have to live with it. My solutions was to change my speakers to be in the front and that seems to help on the bumpy roads to drown out the rattles. Hope this helps and good luck!
Also, I would have that rattling checked. Mine is extremely noisy. As it turns out, I have to have the transmission replaced in mine - and if you read all of the blogs I don't think mine will have been the first bad transmission in one of thse cars!!
