Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 2 tested variants for this model year.
Powertrain complaints dominate what 2017 Murano owners report, with the CVT drawing the most attention. Owners frequently describe jerking or hesitation during acceleration, a whining or humming noise coming from the transmission, and in more serious cases, the vehicle stalling or losing forward drive entirely, sometimes while in moving traffic. A handful of owners report the CVT failing at relatively low mileage with little or no warning beforehand. The second cluster of complaints involves the vehicle speed control and driver assistance systems, particularly the forward-sensing radar that supports adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. Owners report the sensor deactivating within the first few miles of a drive, which disables both systems until the vehicle is restarted. Electrical system complaints round out the top three, though they cover a wider range of symptoms without a single dominant failure pattern emerging.

By System
The 2017 Nissan Murano has 3 recalls, all centering on the same fire risk: the ABS actuator pump can leak brake fluid onto an internal circuit board, causing an electrical short that may lead to a fire.
Prior repair attempts under an earlier campaign did not fully resolve the issue, and the affected vehicle population was later expanded. Owners whose vehicles were previously inspected and cleared, or repaired under the earlier recall, may still be affected.
