2004 Nissan Murano SL review from North America
"Nissan has done an EXCEPTIONAL job"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power mirrors failed twice, but was fixed under warranty.
Recall for alternator which shorted the battery.
One of the keys to it broke (our fault) thus causing the car not to start because of the transponder chip (fixed under the warranty, but had to push them).
General comments?
It is an absolute winner against the boring looking Highlander and Pilot.
It is kind of sluggish so it drives like a tank, but at least you know you are safe.
Rides kind of rough because of the 18" Wheels so if you buy one get the one with the smaller wheels.
6 disc CD player doesn't like burnt discs because of the thickness of some of them, also in cold weather the CD player will skip a little, but dealer said this is normal.
Very Comfortable, we love the heated seats!
I love the curves of this car and how the grille "grins" at you.
I could do with a few less doodads of this car, just more things that can go wrong.
