4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2014 Nissan Murano draws its heaviest complaint volume from the powertrain and steering systems. On the powertrain side, owners frequently describe transmission hesitation and failure to upshift, with RPMs climbing without a corresponding increase in power, a pattern reported most often at highway speeds or on hills. The steering complaints center heavily on the power steering system, with owners describing fluid noise, loss of assist, and concerns about the high-pressure power steering hose. Visibility and wiper complaints make up the third-largest group, with owners reporting issues that impair forward sightlines. A recurring secondary theme involves warning lights, particularly airbag and passenger seat sensor indicators illuminating unexpectedly, with several owners tracing the behavior to communication faults between the airbag control module and the occupant detection system.
