Common problems & what to inspect
Based on all 5 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2008 Nissan Murano, here are the most-reported problem areas — and what to check before you buy.
🔍 Drive through every gear: watch for slipping, hard or delayed shifts, and shudder. Check for transmission/driveline leaks and noises.
🔍 Steering should be tight and centered — no play, clunks or wandering. Test at low and highway speed; listen for power-steering whine.
🔍 Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.
🔍 Confirm all headlights, brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights work, with no moisture inside the housings.
🔍 Inspect for rust, fresh undercoating, mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps and any sign of prior collision or frame repair.
Pre-purchase checklist
- Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title — they must be identical.
- Cold-start the engine; listen for knocks and check for blue or white exhaust smoke.
- Test-drive through all gears at low and highway speed — no slipping, shudder or pulling.
- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).
- Check fluids — oil, coolant, transmission — for level, color and leaks.
- Look underneath for rust, fresh undercoating or signs of collision repair.
- Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic.

I HAVE A NEW 2008 MURANO. I'VE HAD THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FIXED THREE TIMES AND THE PART IS BROKEN AGAIN. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RELATED TO POOR DESIGN. THE CHARGER LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BELOW THE DASHBOARD POPS OUT OF THE DASH AND THE WIRES COME OUT WITH IT. IT'S VERY FLIMSY AND POORLY DESIGNED. *TR
