2004 Nissan Murano consumer reviews

I used to drive a 2004 Murano SL, and it was always giving me problems, constant misfires, o2 sensors going out, horrible gas mileage (I was averaging 7mpg before I got rid of it) and no amount of parts changing fixed it, it would just break again the next day, all this being under 200k miles

While I liked this car a lot, I don't recommend it with the advancements of newer cars or different brands. I bought this car from a first owner who had a private mechanic do all repairs. There was a small oil leak at first. I've had to do about $2,700 worth of repairs in the past 2 years. The biggest flaw of this vehicle is the relatively quick wear of the engine. It's good for an in-city drive, but not a commuter. I had the valve rings replaced, now experiencing valve seal issues and will not bother getting it fixed anymore. Tons of new parts: water pump, radiator hose, radiator, several pistons, camshaft connectors, rotator arms, and O2 sensors. I do think this car is very spacious and stylish. It easily drives on any kind of terrain and is excellent for carrying oversized items. I would say it's good when the odometer is under 200k. Any higher than that and it's basically guaranteed to just crumble apart.

Generally, I have liked the vehicle, but I would probably not buy my next vehicle with a CVT, despite the claims of better gas mileage. I will research my next purchase very carefully.

You will find this car is excellent value and features are extensive. 2004 BLACK NISSAN MURANO SL - SPORT UTILITY V6 3.5 LITER EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AS SHOWN CLEAN INTERIOR - A NON SMOKERS CAR NEW TRANSMISSION- A $1800 VALUE GPS PANEL SUN ROOF ABS ON ALL 4 WHEELS GREAT AIR CONDITIONING POWER WINDOWS POWER DOOR LOCKS CRUISE CONTROL POWER STEERING TILT WHEEL AM/FM STEREO + CD MP3 MULTI DISC PLAYER + CASETTE DUAL AIR BAGS POWER SEAT ALLOY WHEELS 214000 MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES- NEW TRANSMISSION AN $1800.00 VALUE GOOD TIRES THIS CAR DRIVES LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD WELL MAINTAINED CAR YOU WILL LOVE DRIVING THIS CAR- IT WONT LAST LONG

This car is very safe. Sitting up higher was very important to me and this car is very good! I feel safe in it especially on the highway and in the rain.

I keep the maintenance up to today, oil change, transmission, and the car runs without a problem, I haven't' have any mayor issue, so I don't know if it expensive, already 165000KM, and still very nice ride and safe.

We bought this car for $4K used, 170,000km on it, thought it was a great deal. Within the first year we had to do $3000 of repair on it and our mechanic says it is just all rusting out and will continue to need pricey repairs, so we are getting rid of it within a year.

I found out that there is a known issue with the car. Not sure if it is only to the Murano or with all Nissans. The driver seat broke at the track on the floor. When I called to see about fixing it I was told it was a known issue and the seat needs to be replaced for $1100! This is dangerous as the seat is only held down on one side. If there was a wreck a seatbelt wouldn't have been enough. Very unhappy with Nissan. Guess there haven't been enough deaths to make them do anything. Won't buy another one

It's going to live forever! 14 years old and still going strong, drives great. I bought it brand new, it's had the alternator replaced twice, and just maintenance. No problems other than cosmetic with age.

since I've had it, i only had to change fluids, very comfort leather seat, and it has sunroof for summer and heat seat for winter. AWD durable driving in city or in mountains. if i didn't fix my Nissan Altima, i'd have kept this car.
