Check out this great article and read about: Nissan Murano!

Q: What type of car looks like Nissan Murano?
I really like the Nissan Murano car… but I am trying to see if there is something less expensive. Is there a good car that looks like that one but cheaper?

PLease advise…

Thanks
wow (rolling eyes to my first answer). People, let me make it clear.. any alternatives? Any OTHER MAKE/MODEL that look like that? (crossover?)

A: There are several cars that look just like a new Nissan Murano and are cheaper. They are called USED Nissan Muranos

Q: What are the measurements of the cargo space in a Nissan Murano?
I know the capacity in cubic feet (81.6), but that doesn’t tell me whether I can fit my new bookcase in the back of my friend’s Murano. Yes, I could just go and measure it, but it’s across town.

A: Murano’s cargo area is probably the weirdest shape. Pick-up trucks are for moving your friend wont want scrapes and tears on there luxury sport utility. Even a 32″ plazma tv won’t fit. There built for boxes of books small end table and carry grocerys really well. Long less than 4 1/2 foot might close the hatch width 4 foot height at 4′ less than 14″ the sides curve in a lot Large retangles just don’t go very well on a round Murano

Q: What kind of gas does the Nissan Murano use?
I am trying to choose between the Murano and the CRV but I heard the Murano only takes premium gasm is this true?

A: regular is fine

Q: For the Nissan murano, is the right bank the passenger side or the drivers side of the catalytic converter?
nissan murano 06. Mechanic said the right bank was clogged. I need to order a new one he didn’t know if it was passenger side. He gave me a paper saying that its a 3-way catalyst (right bank)

A: You are not very bright for even thinking that your Converter is bad. This car is too new. The converter can be washed out by spraying gum-out or other suitable cleaners through your intake system. Your converter has clogged up for a reason, it just doesn’t go bad, especially on Asian cars. You should have your throttle Body and idle control system thoroughly cleaned out, and flush the gum-out through your engine at various operating speeds. This will clean out the O2 sensors and the carbon that has built up in your system. Your problem can be caused by using really cheap gas, with insufficient detergent qualities. Try changing gas stations, or read the “top tier” fuel list on the web. Also, start using synthetic oils, is this keeps your breathing systems cleaner and extends engine life and sensor life as well. Good luck!!! Your car is too new!! GO the the Nissan dealer and have a nissan technician look things over for you. Ask their service department how many converters for this model are sold. I bet they haven’t sold any. You have some kind of fuel imbalance going on here. Have Nissan give you a computer check!! Your converter might still be under warranty. actually READ your manual about this thing!! DON’T GET DUPED INTO BUYING A NEW CONVERTER WITHOUT PROOF!!!! Your problem will just return!

Q: Nissan Murano making a warping sound, can it be rotors?
My 2004 Nissan Murano makes this warping sound(sorta like wah, wah, wah, wah), which doesn’t sound like metal on metal. The sound is very clear when steering right at most speeds. The sound is hardly there when driving straight, and it’s not there at all when steering left. I originally thought it may be due to old tires and a need for an alignment. I put on a new set of tires, then had them aligned. The sound is still there. I feel it may be a warped rotor on the right side of the car but would like to somehow get more opinions before I go and have it checked. What else could it be?

A: It’s brake pads. When you had ur tires put on, the mechanic should have told you you needed brakes. Since you have had that problem and noise, you may want to get your rotors turned or replaced. It may not fix the problem by only replacing ur pads. You hear more noise when you turn right because your master cylinder is on the driver side. So since the pads are worn and the rotors are bad, the master cylinder is pumping harder to compress the caliper. Once you let off your brake your still slightly compressed at your caliper due to the lack of pad. (it’s pushed in further than the left). Thats why you have noise on the right. Get the brakes and rotors looked at. If you replace the brakes, replace the rotors or get them turned if you have enough metal. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Also, make sure your master cylinder isn’t bad. Bad cylinder means bad brakes. It’s located on the fire wall, under the hood, infront of the steering wheel. It holds brake fluid. If it’s leaking from the fittings, replaqce it!

Q: How much is the Dealer cost of a Nissan Murano?
How much is the cost for dealerships that sell 2006 Nissan Muranos?
I am buying the car in Nova Scotia, and the dealer told me to make an offer to Nissan. He said usually cost plus 5-8% is reasonable so I am wondering the cost for the dealer.

A: Go to http://www.nada.com/ for realistic pricing on a Nissan Murano

Q: Where can I find a GPS system for a 2009 Nissan Murano?
I have a 2009 Nissan Murano and I bought it with the standard screen, I want to find where I can buy the touchscreen with the GPS to put it into my Murano. PLEASE HELP, I’m always lost.

A: Buy a portable GPS unit (Garmin is one brand). They are $130 and up. A Nissan installed unit is probably $2000.

Q: I damaged the side of my 09 Nissan Murano, both side doors are pretty badly dented; how much to fix?
Help!!!
I don’t have very much money, & today I hit one of the poles at the gas station, damaging both the side doors to my 2009 Nissan Murano. Can someone pleaseeee give me an approximate price as to how much I will need to fix it?!

A: Turn it in to your insurance company. All you will have to pay is the deductible………….md

Q: Should I buy a 2007 Nissan Murano with 43K miles?
I am looking at buying a 2007 Nissan Murano SUV for 16,900. It has (among others) heated leather seats, a moon roof, rear view camera, Bose stereo, and 6 disc CD changer but it also comes with 43K miles.My husband and I are debating whether the miles out weight the other benefits. I say yes – he says no.

Please help

Thanks

A: The answer is very simple guys. If they agree to give you a 100K mile bumper to bumper warranty, go for it! If no, then stay away. Sounds like an almost new car loaded with features, so if it’s being sold for so cheap that means somebody does not want it or like it anymore. Hopefully it is not because they had problems with it.

Nissan’s are known for their higher level of excitement and feature-laden vehicles but they are not known as the most reliable or gas-friendly of the Japanese brands. So if they do not give you the warranty, then the existing warranty should be either expired or close to it, I would take a close look at the 2005-2007 Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot. The Toyota will be slightly pricier versus the Honda but better on gas, the Honda will be dirt cheap but not the best on gas, though you will get the same reliability as you would with any other car of the same brand.

Best wishes with your search!

Q: Has anyone tried to replace a 2004 Nissan Murano factory stereo system?
I have a 2004 Murano, with the Bose system (without navigation), and I read where the factory system can’t be replaced due to the climate controls being wired into the radio system. I’m not happy with the quality of sound, and want to replace everything. Is there a way around this? I’ve only looked online to find this, but haven’t talked to anybody yet on it. I will be very dissapointed if this is the case.

A: Vehicles with stero systems like that in the Murano, are becoming more popular, sadly enough. It is true about the wiring and that the radio can not be replaced with an aftermarket unit, without major rewiring. It can ve done, but it will be pricy. The time it takes to rewire the climate controls, and to build a new face for the system (as there are no replacement faces for this because of the non-replacable factor. If you are unhappy with the quality of the sound, I would suggest what was metnioned above and having new speakers, tweeters, amp, and sub installed. If you can find a shop that would be willing to do a system upgrade, it would be a very pricy upgrade as this would be a long and tedious task of rewiring an entire system and everything that system is connected to. In the long run, it would be more cost effective to buy a new vehicle with a stero you like, upgrade what you can, or live with it. Nissan really didn’t give people many options there.

Q: Do I need to change my automatic transmission fluid at 30,000 on my 2006 Nissan Murano?
I called two Nissan dealerships. One said yes and the other no, it is at 60,000. What should I do? Thanks!

A: Not every 30K miles, but definitely if it hasn’t been done since new. The technical answer is that the powertrain computer has some complex computing that it does to determine when the fluid needs to be changed. The Murano has the CVT transmission, which is a pricey piece of machinery. The fluid is also pricey, at a cost of about $20 per quart, available only at the dealership. At every oil change, or even every 15K miles is overkill. Maybe Hondas need to be serviced that much, but you have a Nissan.

Q: Does anyone know where I could find out a Nissan Murano pinout (radio) schematic?
I desperatly need the schematics for the nissan murano’s pinout (radio). I am currently in Australia and the US version I obtained is different to the Auzzy version. All resources are welcome.

A: www.ebay.com.au

Q: Any idea how to get my hands on a set of new or used 2009 Nissan Murano 20″ rims?
I am buying the SL version of the vehicle and you can only get the 18″ rims with it (here in Canada). To order them from the Nissan dealership would be very costly.

A: look on ebay or go look on nissan forums. theres bound to be plenty of them on there

Q: Who makes nissan murano backup cameras with depth peception guides? Can I get an aftermarket version?
I want to find find an after market back up camera with depth perceptions lines (like Nissans) for my Chrysler 300.

A: Pioneer makes a sweet camera. I have one on my xB.

Q: Would a nissan murano be a good first car?
I’m looking for my first car and wondering if i should go with that or a car. if so, which cars are cute and nicely ranged for a teenagers first car. and if the murano is a good choice, how does it drive? like a car or very sensitive like a bigger suv?

A: I use to sell nissan’s so trust me on this, the murano is a good vehicle, but cost more then it should and I personally don’t like the way it rides.

First you need to ask yourself some questions.
1st how long have you been driving?
2nd how much are you willing to spend on a vehicle? 3rd do you just need transporation from point a to point b?
4th do you plan on having all your friends and their mothers ride with you?
5th who is paying for the gas?
6th who is paying for the insurance?
7th what is the most important issue for you? reliablity, safety, looks

If you are just starting out get something you will not fall in love with.
