Nissan Murano in Philippines Jan 2016 - Jun 2018
Feb 2016 51140 mi	We took the alternator apart and discovered that one of the wires connecting the rotor to the slip ring had broken off. We soldered it back on and held it tight with clear epoxy. While there we serviced the internals to improve reliability. While taking off the alternator (which was not charging the battery) I noticed 3 tiny holes on the radiator's plastic top about the size of a pinhead. We had the plastic top replaced with a copper top. Heard a hum while driving past 60Km/h on the front driver's side so I thought I'd have the wheel bearings looked at. Apparently water had somehow made it into the bearing causing the internal factory lubrication to dry up.
May 2016 52780 mi	The driver side door handle broke. Ordered a replacement online. Replacement was easy as there was no need to remove the door panel at all. The replacement door handle was about USD15.00 with free shipping. Been working well so far.

Sep 2017 59520 mi $250	Front A-arms had bushings that required replacement.
May 2018 60760 mi $120	Felt occasional surges while driving so we replaced the NS-2 transmission fluid with Valvoline CVT fluid. We drained as much of the old CVT fluid as we could and used an air compressor to blow the fluid in the lines to and from the cooler under the radiator out. A total of about 6 quarts was used. The surging is now gone and the transmission is as smooth as when it was new.
Jun 2018 60760 mi $520	I could feel a light vibration in the cabin and suspected the engine mounts. True enough, once we had the car on the lifter and revved the engine we could clearly see that they were pretty much gone. The Nissan Murano uses a dynamic engine anti-vibration system wherein the front and rear engine mounts have pistons driven by electrical motors. This configuration allows the ECU to adjust the stiffness of the engine mounts depending on how fast the engine is revving to minimize vibrations entering the cabin. It is a brilliant system but it also means that the front and rear engine mounts are more expensive than your plain rubber-on-metal mounts. I could also feel a hesitation in the car when the accelerator is depressed quickly. It would describe it as a series of thuds that would last until I eased off on the accelerator. This issue has also now been fixed.

Mar 2018 82423 mi US $774	Oil leak-oil cooler O-ring replaced; oil and filter change. Replaced for the 2nd time in less than 1-year the rear hatch actuator and the trunk lock actuator harness jumper as it was again locking up causing the dash indicator to continually blink and the dash screen to indicate the hatch was ajar, plus could not lock doors due to this issue. This is related to the issue of the rear hatch actuator replaced on 6/13/17 and again on 3/7/18 (the part was covered under warranty, less than 1-year old). The rear hatch window seal had failed causing the rear hatch actuator to short out The rear hatch window glass was replaced. Replaced both front lower control arms, plus a front end alignment. Car had noticeable vibration at times and then would smooth out. Dealer suggested tires needed to be re-balanced and they were on 3/13/18 but this did not cure problem. Dealer said replacing the lower control arms may have something to do with vibration. Dealer found the issue of the lower control arms needing to be replaced on 3/7/18 and that he could not do the requested front end alignment until the lower control arms were replaced; this also did not cure vibration problem. On 3/20/17 both rear brake rotors and pads were replaced. Commencing sometime after this replacement, owner started noticing a slight vibration around 50-60 MPH. This progressively got worse and during the month of March 2018, was becoming increasingly more frequent. Several things were tried but did not work. When tires were balanced at Costco on 3/13/18, the attendant suggested a rotor may be warped since the left rear wheel did not freely spin. Going back to shop were the rotors and pads were replaced 3/20/17 revealed the caliper on the left rear wheel had seized causing the rotor to warp. Both brake calipers, rotors and pads were replaced and vibration problem finally corrected.

Mar 2017 123000 mi US $96	Exhaust leak repaired near pipe entrance into muffler. 3rd repair in this area. The original flange failed about 9 years ago. I fixed it once, the shop 2 times. We get about 3 years out of each splice.
Jan 2018 127000 mi US $25	Rear subframe failure. Corrosion caused separation of sway bar from subframe. Vehicle being traded (although it's totaled due to this failure) for a new Honda CR-V. It's an absolute shame. Vehicle runs great and I've maintained it personally for the past 15 years. The failure was due to inferior metals used in the manufacture of the subframe.

Nissan Murano in Florida, United States Jan 2010 - Sep 2015
Feb 2010 76000 mi US $450	Failed pressure hose on power steering system. Vibrations in front suspension under fast (but not "floored") acceleration. Especially on left turns. Recent new struts. Align & balance OK. Able to reproduce issue but no idea what it is. Had car since new & this started in last 6,000 miles. Dealer replaced catalytic convertor but didn't use new gaskets in exhaust system as it was "too difficult". Now bad gaskets make exhaust leaks and noise. Another dealer figured it out. Have to go back to first dealer since it was warranty item.
Jan 2011 79000 mi	Two dealers missed the fact that the left control arm bushing was broken (badly). This was after one dealer replaced the same side axle. I believe the bushing was broken at that time and they missed it. Independent Midas people found it. Needed new oil pan gasket...just old. Had same Midas guy check the exhaust and he confirmed second dealer's notice of 1st dealer non replacement of exhaust shield. Turns out first dealer didn't mess with that part of the exhaust and the shield on front manifold just rusted off. Dealer confirmed missing front exhaust bracket and shield. Probably rusted off and they agreed to replace as they had once repaired the exhaust but claim they didn't touch that part. Ordered part. 1st dealer in above saga finally replaced vibrating and noisy exhaust bracket. No charge but did not admit guilt. Did admit complete change of personnel since I stopped going to that dealer. Same on who missed the bad control arm.
Aug 2011 87700 mi	Oil Leak cannot find. Not major but continuous in small amounts. Had pan gasket replaced 10k miles ago but that is not it.
Oct 2011 91200 mi	Oil leak. Pan gasket was replaced several months ago and it appears OK. Couldn't locate leak due to all the oil spilled around engine underside when last changed.
Aug 2015 135000 mi US $500	Dealer tried to say it needed a new transmission. It needed a new accelerator sensor. Still didn't fix it 100 percent. Don't trust this dealer.
Sep 2015 135000 mi	See internet postings on intermittent acceleration hesitation. Big problem with this car. Sold it Oil leak never fixed, either.
