Car averages 15 mpg and has numerous problems with door locks failing and most notably the driver seat forward and reverse motor. Because of the common failure of this 2 x 4" 12 volt motor owners must shell out up to $1,800 to replace the whole assembly. I requested the old parts and tested each of the three motors and found the forward/reverse motor defective. It took 10 minutes to remove this motor to look inside; no apparent damage but a poor ohms reading and no reaction to adding power to the motor. Nissan does not sell this motor as an OEM part and you rarely see a used on for sale. This is a big drawback for the Nissan Murano as you never know when the seat will fail or the power locks which cost $1,200 to have the dealer repair. Steer clear and look at a reliable Ford or Chevy. @ weeks later, the brake master cylinder goes bad, Diagnosed by independent garage that master cylinder was defective. Took to Atlanta's Regal Nissan and requested estimate to replace master cylinder. Two ho hear an acute perception of very obvioustours later informed no mastercylinders are available; charged $60 If you google for nissan problems in general or by year, you will find many frustrated owners; many who promise to never own another Nissan.
