Initialy I liked my Murano - it rides smooth and we were very proud of it. Recently we made a trip to North Carolina. On our way back from our Easter break the vehicle suddenly stopped on the middle of the highway without any warning. We were shocked to see it stop, we were very luckly and by Gods grace we are alive to tell every one this story. We would have been hit by a speeding truck behind us. Since we were driving at around 55 MPH we were able to pull just in time to the shoulder, we had to push it to the shoulder in order to avoid other cars from behind hitting us. To cut the story short we had to wait for nearly 3 hours since nissan refused to give us a tow to the near by dealer. (Still under company warranty; only 17,374 and Nissan manual says it will cover towing under 36000 miles). We paid from our pocket to tow it to the nearest dealer. After the dealer examined the vehicle he said it was a faulty electric fuel pump which did not supply any fuel to the engine (very scary). We had to wait for 3 more days for the dealer to get the part from NY. If you have a Nissan Murano please check and replace the fuel system other wise it can be dangerous. They told me there is no guarantee even if a new electric pump is replaced. It can stop at any time. If any one has a similar concern please email me so I can give you more details. If you own a new Murano get a good lawyer who deals with lemon laws.

07 Nissan Murano.
It was a good all around vehicle until the problems started. First the paint has cracking and checking all over. We won at arbitration on the paint job. Nissan is to repurchase my vehicle within the next few weeks. I did hire an attorney. It was worth it.
The passenger seat heater operates some times and some times it does not. After 3 tries, they couldn't or did not try hard enough to repair it.
Rattle around the dash board area. They tried 4 times, and could not repair it.
Pinging noise from engine, even though I have always used premium gas.
In my situation, and in my personal opinion, and from my personal experience, Nissan is absolutely not willing to deal with the problems. I will never ever go near a Nissan vehicle again, even if my life depended upon it.
I have wasted hours at their shops, and the problems still exists. All brands of vehicles have problems, but in my experience, namely Toyota and Honda, they took care of the problems and I was happy with them. I should have stayed with Toyotas and Hondas. I have one of each at the present. My Honda is 10 years old, and keeps on going. Toyota is 4 years old, and just keeps on going. I have spent less than 20 hours on both of these vehicles for repairs other than regular maintenance during all these years.
Nissan, you can keep your fancy cars; they are not worth it.
