Murano S 3.5L V6

  • CVT transmission
  • 50,000 miles

There's no reason a gasket should go out at this mileage. One month after standard warranty expired! Was this leaking before the warranty expired? Did the dealer wait to report this after said warranty ran out? I'd like to think they were honest, but if we didn't have the extended warranty, I would have been very upset. But of course, this extra warranty cost us at the time of purchase, so it's still an unnecessary cost...

We had a 1993 Nissan Maxima that had plenty of problems under warranty and if we start having more problems with the Murano, I'm done with Nissan and will spread the word.

Murano CV 3.2L V6

  • CVT transmission
  • 65,244 miles

For my 2015 Nissan Murano Lease the ball joint was replaced under warranty at 60000Km by the dealer.

I brought in my car due to a vibration problem at 95000km on Aug 2018 before the warranty expired, the dealer said that everything was ok and that the vibration was normal. I have a report with all the checkmarks.

I brought the car back in September a month later due to the same vibration the dealer said that now when the car was out of warranty in needed new engine mounts bc they were cracked, new shock absorber struts, new sway bars, there was a leak in the power steering system, new battery re-machine brakes total cost $7500K CAN and the dealer said that as a good-will they will cover half of that cost

Check engine light came on at 110000km in Jan 2019 the dealer said the they have to replace the transmission total cost $7500 and Nissan Canada said that as a good will the will cover 70%.

This vehicle is a lease and its been nothing but problems. At $40K I expected much better. I have a 2014 Nissan rogue as well is due in May 2019 with 22000Km. Can's wait to get rid of both this vehicles.

I'll never look at a Nissan, cars look good but they are poor products and low quality. Stay away from these cars

transfer case leakage

We purchase the Nissan back in March 2015, week after we noticed stains on the garage floor. Dealer replaced the gasket but it didn't work, we had to come back two times for the same repair until they decided to replace the transfer case. All Looks good now.
