Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues in the last 8 months, and I'm up to 58,000 miles. Just drove a 2,700 mile/7 day trip down to Tennessee, surrounding states and back up for business, and I can't think of another vehicle I would rather have been in. I had to take it off the beaten track to get to some of our locations, and it handled that as well as it does the highway. Low(ish) ground clearance is slightly annoying, but if you know how to drive up steep hills on dirt tracks then you can get by. The trip, including the offroading, idling to keep the a/c running in the 90 degree heat while I wasnt in the vehicle and highway driving where I average around 75-80mph I averaged 21.9mpg. I can't complain.
Tires can be tricky to come by - when you need them, call your dealer a week or so before you take it in so they can get them ordered in if necessary.
I use Cherry Hill Nissan in NJ btw. Would recommend them.
My wife and I just purchased a 2006 Murano SL AWD. Since we've had it the time has never been right. We set it and it changes the next time the vehicle starts. We have all ready brought back to the dealer and they can't figure it out. Claim they are waiting for Nissan USA to give them an answer. Has anyone else experienced this issue?? What are my options in terms of getting it fixed? Never really knew how much I actually looked at the clock while driving. It's very annoying. And by the way, LOVE THE MURANO!!
Thanks

Often when searching a forum for a problem, one comes across other information that is helpful as well. This doesn't happen when the forums multiply.
I speculate navigation and search for information, and the dynamics of forum exchanges/content of the readership wasn't improved with these changes.
Just one person's opinion.

I am on my second MO, and although the CVT and drive by wire takes some getting used to, I have never found the MO's response "troubling", for I read up on what to expect before purchasing.
People need a reality check. When anyone pays $5-$10,000 more for essentially the same car from Infinity, one should expect a higher degree of willingness to take actions to merely satisfy the suspicion or "hunch" of an owner. That is because the manufacturer has built into the orginal price a customer satisfaction reserve. Nissan dealers, without that extra cushion, shouldn't be expected to act on things unless and until they have proof, via a service bulletin. Otherwise most would be in bankruptcy.
I have only 2 not so great cup holders in the front and two in the back. Is this a Japanese car thing??? My Chevy and Dodge had more than you could need!
No, the sake holder has a built-in heater.

something that should be remedied on an otherwise well-built, nicely equipped vehicle.
I had the chance to spend about four days with
a Murano rental. I drive(or did, as my 02
Maxima got wrecked Monday evening and may be
totalled) I've had no problems with the cupholders in the Max. But I ran into the same
problem as the above posts with a large McDonald's cup or similar type cup in the Murano. Every time I made a turn, the cup would tip over or tried to. Nissan just needs to redesign this feature and it shouldn't be too much of an expense since the other Nissan models have better designed cupholders.
Really, who wants to be worrying about whether
your drink is going to spill over when you make
a turn, especially with coffee that has milk in it. There's nothing fun about having to smell sour milk in your car everytime you get inside your car because you couldn't get the whole thing quite cleaned up because it fell into a bunch of small crevices in your car!
Absent that, get off the extra large coffees, and use a cup not so top-heavy, and the situation will get better.
Hopefully Nissan will install a widget or bushing of high quality, grab-wise, for next year's re-do!
Caveat Emptor, in all cases.
2 actual shields are used, one left side, one right.
Part Number is: A7285-CC25A "Protector Fuel"
Cost: WARRANTY RECALL 0.00
So, don't let them tell you it isn't there and give you the hang-down plastic one...John B
Good luck
-Pulled to left when bought it, took to dealer twice to get it fixed, rotated tires then pulled to right.
-TPS
-Alternator
Back right door handle quit working inside and out, had to replace several parts in there.
-and of course the seat belt recalls and gas tank protector.
All and all not too good for a $28,000 car with 24,00 miles. Luckily I have the extended warranty. But if it continues to have problems its a goner, next!!! My cheapo Contour never left me stranded and it was about half the price. I knew I should have got a G35...
Makes no diff when you buy it. Buy it later, it will cost more, or perhaps not run as long. Many extended warranties cover more than the original does.
Mine runs 5 years, 100K, and wraps around the Nissan power train waranty and cost almost $500 less....
Feel free to contact me at terry92270@carspace.com if you need additional pointers. I think my Yahoo messenger is in my profile here. If not, email me, and I will send it.
I had the appt this week and they told me they didn't find a leak. OK, maybe it had been an old stain from something else. They cleaned the stain. I washed it 2 days later, with particular attention to the sunroof since the deflector was dirty on the underside. Got in car to put in garage to dry and lo and behold, a nice big wet mark in the same area.
The service advisor told me they checked for leaks by putting it through their carwash!! How high-tech! Silly old me, I would have checked for a sunroof leak, especially one that seem to be in the front area of the sunroof, by putting a freakin hose up in there!!! Obviously the wind deflector would protect part of the sunroof from getting direct water, as it might receive in a storm, or even while parked facing downhill in the rain.">
It is also possible that it is a leaky weld or something because it is located away from the sunroof, but somebody said the drain might run down that pillar or something. Does anybody know about this? I am so afraid they will have to rip apart the roof or something, and I still don't have a 1000 miles!! It's one month old today! I have a photo of it on my PC, but don't know how to post it.
Do leaks qualify for lemon law???
Be thankful your car is under warranty, and be assertive when taking it back, speaking to the Service Manager only. Demand a free loaner or free rental while you have to leave it.
It really isn't more complicated than that.
When the car behaves normally, the acceleration is fine, and the cruise control works.
My Nissan dealer replaced the throttle chamber, but this has not fixed the problem. Now they don't know what it is. Can anyone help?
