General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

This Murano LE AWD has never failed me in 6 months of operation in variable extreme frigid conditions. I have only had to change the oil, put air in the tires, and gas it up. I wonder what another winter or two of another 20,000 miles will do long term! |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Nissan has less-than-stellar reliability ratings from Consumer Reports. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Some concern over reliability of CVT from reading online horror stories of prior year models. So far no issues and Nissan has extended the CVT warranty. Minor issue is the sometimes squeal of brakes on backing. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
See CVT: how much is *that* going to be to fix? |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD |
Seems to be a lot of issues amongs Murano owners with the CVT, if out of warranty, will cost over $7000 for replacement. Issues with driver seat frame breaking as well. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD |
Having issued with the CVT. I am very concerned with the reliability of the NEW style trans. This is the main reason why I have became a member, to find out more info on this. |
