SE models now include a manual-shift mode for the CVT, and satellite radio pre-wiring is standard on all models. The standard driver seat now features 10-way power adjustment.

• Excellent handling, comfortable and practical interior, unique styling inside and out, smooth and powerful engine.

• Continuously variable transmission detracts from performance, SE model rides harshly, no third-row seat, gets pricey with options.

  THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By SHOOTSNSCORES - May 26 - 10:00 am

  Our last two vehicles have been explorers. Weve owned the murano for a month we will never own a true suv again. We decided to test the crossovers.Drove the murano first. WE WERE blown away. NOTHING ELSE compared. Smooth carlike ride.Seats are the most comfortable ive ever ridden{cloth). FUN FUN FUN TO DRIVE. CVT IS AWESOME. IM 63" and can stretch my legs all the way out in front. Truly an urban suv as its advertised. Getting in and out a breeze. Unique design doesnt look like the typical suv or wagon or minivan. Climate control and bose cd changer is fabulous.

  04 Murrano issues - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Mo2004 - April 19 - 12:20 am

  I have over 100,000 miles and really enjoyed driving the Murano until the little issues that have occurred over the time of driving. The alternator replaced (free do to recall). The driver side sun visor does not stay in place which a number of owners have wrote about. The cost to repair is about $350 for just the sun visor. The lock on the fuel tank stop functioning, the motor to adjust the seats on the driver side stop functioning. The front and right side motor mounts went bad ($1000 to repair). The motor mount issue is apparently with all Nissan vehicles. The vehicle is a great looking design, CVT engine is nice feel, and overall a good design.

  New Owner - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By NewOwner - April 14 - 6:43 am

  I have purchased an 04 SL w/16000 miles. So far a a month of ownership I did not encounter any problems. I love the CVT it makes for a smooth ride. The acceleration is above avarage for an SUV but stability on turn is not as I would hope for. The MPG is slightly lower than stated in documents but not bad for this type of enigne. Dont like the front instrument panel (looks like something out of a "future car" movies) but everything else looks comforting. Side nerf of step bars will give it a more sporty look.

  AWD w/nav bought Used - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By darinr - January 13 - 9:53 am

  I just bought this used Murano w/nav for the wife and love it! For an 04 it was in great shape. The nav is pretty cool (wish it was voice activated). Put on chrome wheels for the wife and it looks much better with them. I have had decent luck with Nissan so I hope that continues. Looked at the RX330 but for the money this was the best deal.

  SE Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Sigeliot23 - December 6 - 10:00 am

  Ok, I bought a 2003 Nissan Murano at the beginning of last summer. 12000 miles later I still love my car. I am a bit rough on it and drive it like a sports car. This car really can move, you can take turns up to 40mph without your wheels skidding out, but watch out, the oil pan is a little weak as I broke it. Also, beware of gas mileage I only get 15.5 mpg. Granted that number is low because of my driving habits, but even when I drive nicely I can only get 16.5-17 in the city.

  Murano counterpoint - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By muranodriver - November 4 - 2:00 am

  First off, about the sluggish, power- sapping CVT.It isnt.This SUV is very lively.Put your foot down and the RPMs go to peak power,and stay there as the CVT constantly adjusts ratio to maximize acceleration. Motor Trend says "The Murano consistently took 0-60 mph and 1/4 mi acceleration honors." Believe it. There is more road noise than I would like, but otherwise driving dynamics are great.Interior space is fantastic, materials are pleasant to look at and touch.The large dash expanse (a result of the windshield rake) screams mini-van!,but otherwise the cockpit is great.I have the base model, and it includes everything I want.

  Avoid High Mileage Used Muranos - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By moneypitowner - August 18 - 2:56 am

  Love the design and functionality of the Murano. Had Nissan and Infinity before and very reliable and economical to maintain. I put 200K on my earlier Nissans and they ran great. Not the case with Murano. I bought the Murano with 80K on it. Owner babied it and Murano maintained by dealer, all receipts. At 115K. CVT went bad. $4500 repair. Head gasket bad at 121k. Another $4500 repair. Numerous reports of transfer case failures as well as exhaust system repairs. Very expensive repairs. Recent problems with head gaskets on newer models also reported. Get extended warranties if you keep the car past dealer warranty period. Dont buy a first generation used Murano.

  Do Not Waste Your Money! - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Dissappointed - June 6 - 1:16 am

  I bought a 2004 Nissan Murano back in 2006, since then I have had a list of problems and issues with it. I dropped the transfer case at 62,000 miles... Since my warranty ended at 60,000 I had to fight to get the dealer to pay for it, or it would have been a $6400 fix... Also, the Murano eats Wheel Barrings! At least once a year I am replacing the barrings.. If that wasnt enough to deter you, try mysterious rattles in the dash and door, Hatch handle works when it wants to and gas mileage is not great. The Murano is a very "pretty" cross over SUV, but the mechanical issues far out-weigh the positives on this one. Do not waste your money buying one or your time repairing it.
