Nissan Murano Reliability And Durability: Pros

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! full 2010 Nissan Murano review

My previous 2 SUVs were Jeeps. They had terrible reliability. Always in the shop. Nissan has a great rep. full 2009 Nissan Murano review

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. full 2007 Nissan Murano review

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. full 2006 Nissan Murano review
