What Owners Say
""When we backup the exhaust smell comes into the cabin. Every time, in garage or outside.""
Anonymous, CA (2012 Nissan Murano S 3.5-L V6)""Murano is making a loud guttural sound, which suggests an issue with the exhaust system. However, the noise is located in the engine. Two repair shops have not been able to diagnose the problem.""
Anonymous A., VA (2012 Nissan Murano LE 3.5-L V6)"Exhaust pipe welded to one catalytic converter had a flange leak - the entire assembly needed replacement. (The other Cat assembly did not warrant replacement at the same time.)"
Anonymous, NH (2012 Nissan Murano SL 3.5-L V6)""I was going downhill and accelerated to get past a truck so I could get out of the way of a runaway semi. The engine lost power, stuttered lost again. I was nearly hit, but the truck beside me realized something was wrong and got out of the way so the runaway could miss me. I limped to a shop. After checking the transmission and every else, they looked at the air intake. The air filter had ruptured and a flap was hanging down near the air sensor, causing the engine to cut the gas injection when covered. The air filter was replaced. The rim in one long side was bent, possibly from being forced into the fitting. Thin metal rim on the filter. But it also might be possible dampness and filtrate had caused the powerful intake suction to pull on the air filter and bent it. Replacing the air filter fixed it completely. I am careful about what filter is put in now. The rectangular filter system has a vulnerability.""
