2009 Nissan Murano Problems
I bought a 2009 Murano over a year ago love the car over all but since day one have had numerous issues which i have documented : including a anti freeze smell that even the territory Nissan rep denied smelling each time. along with squeaking brakes.Just yesterday i bought it in for its 3000 mile oil change service. after leaving the dealership 3 hrs later the car broke down with 9500 miles on it.Finally my issue of antifreeze materialized when the gauge coolant went all the way upto high and stayed there and the engine lite went on as well and the car at each stop felt like it was going to just shut off..I had the car towed to the dealership and have left it there..Nissan will not admit or just simply swap me to a new car of the same SL model .I will be getting an attorney since these issues one by one have been going on for a year now..squeaky brakes, coolant smell after the car has been used for awhile ,rattling inside engine, hesitation on reverse and acceleration, these are some the issues Nissan will tell you are normal which as of yesterday they are not ..

Very strange - but that is my wife's only complaint.
Please let me know what they find/found.
Many thanks - Best of luck however with your LE
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 .
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.
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.
I have the Murano since Jan. 2009 and since then I have a noise when steering to the left (not necessary to the maximum) and soon after that the sound is more intense and noticed when steering to the right, as wel as is produces vibrations to the steering wheel. This problem is more intense when is cold (I live in Edmonton, Canada) and the sound is intense when started at cold. I have taken the car to the dealer here and they changed (???) the steering pump, but the noise was back and even more intense seconds I have started the engine in their parking lot. They told me to drive it for 500km and if the noise is still there to bring it back. I will plan to bring the car back, but I am affaraid that they do not know what are they doing there. I am affraid that there might be some safety issues. Please advise. Thank you. John
My dealer neglected to tell me that the use of a lumbar support pillow will disingage the front passenger airbag. This leaves anyone who needs passenger side lumbar support with one of three choices.
1- Seat in the front passenger seat without your lumbar support.
2- Seat in the front seat with lumbar support but with no airbag protection.
3- Seat in the back seat.

Nissan is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty on the CVT transmission up to 200,000km or 10 years but still refuses to include the transfer case
For those of you who were not made aware of the extended warranty it was only decided the 1st week in February 2010 and letters will be sent out
If you are the second owner of the Murano you may need to contact Nissan Canada to inform them that you are the current owner so that they are able to forward the letter to you attention.
Hope this helps
As I myself is a frustrated 2004 Nissan Murano owner
I have also 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD and recently noticed strange smell. Car has lost its power and at times does not move at all when I shift to drive or to reverse. Most recently when I was parked inclined and needed drive reverse car did not move at all yet throttle was at high rpm. I brought the car to the dealer they told me they could not find anything. I also told them that car sometimes speeds up and slows down on its own. They could tell me why..I am very upset because car has only 7000 miles on it. Can please tell how to handle this issue. Thank you.
I was hoping somebody could help with my 2009 SL Nissan Murano not starting. We recently purchased this car with 12k miles.
The key fob successfully unlocks the car and the monitor on the dash says that the battery is appox 75% full. When I keep the key fob in my pocket and press the start button the car starts up right away even in the very cold weather we have been experiencing. When I enter my key fob into the slot and press the start key, all the electronics turn on, but then if I try to start the car the motor just turns over and over - all of the dash illuminating warning lights flicker very rapidly - the car will start if I pump the gas pedal.
The difference is that when the key fob is in my pocket I simply hit the start button and it starts right up - no need to pump gas, etc. When I enter the key fob into the slot the car first turns on the electronics. When I hit the start button again to start the car it just turns over and over... Any help???
Thanks in advance.
