Discussing Problems or Challenges with the 2021 Nissan Murano

I’m considering buying a 2021 Nissan Murano and wanted to get some insights into any problems or challenges you all have faced with this model. I’ve come across some forum discussions mentioning issues with the continuously variable transmission (CVT) and the cruise control system, but I’m curious if anyone has more detailed experiences to share.

Reliability Concerns

It seems like reliability can often be a concern for many car buyers, especially with specific models. For the 2021 Murano, are there any notable reliability issues that have been reported? If you’ve owned one or know someone who has, can you provide any real-world insights?

Common Complaints

Here’s a few common complaints I’ve gathered so far:

  • CVT Functionality: Some users reported delays in acceleration or unusual noises when the vehicle is in drive. What has your experience been like?
  • Cruise Control Issues: I’ve seen mentions of cruise control disengaging unexpectedly. Has anyone experienced this during long drives?

Maintenance and Repairs

Additionally, are there specific maintenance items that are not covered in the warranty that I should be aware of? I want to make sure I understand what I might be getting into when it comes to ongoing costs.

Personal Experiences

I’d love to hear your personal experiences, both negative and positive. How’s the overall driving experience? Do you think the 2021 Nissan Murano is worth considering despite the issues?

Looking forward to your replies! Your insights will really help guide my decision on whether to go for the Murano or consider other options.

I’ve noticed quite a few owners discussing engine performance issues, especially rough idling and stalling. It’s frustrating when you rely on your vehicle and it doesn’t deliver.

Exactly! The engine can feel sluggish at times, particularly when accelerating. I thought it might just be a personal issue, but now I’m not so sure.

Transmission problems are also a common topic. Some drivers report persistent jerking when shifting gears. Makes you wonder if it’s a design flaw.

5

I’ve felt that jerking too! It’s definitely disconcerting, especially on the highway. I wonder if anyone has found a fix.

6

A friend of mine had a Murano that faced electrical issues. One moment everything works, and the next it’s like the car has a mind of its own! Has anyone else experienced weird electronic glitches?

7

I have! My dashboard lights flicker, and the infotainment system freezes up. It’s like playing roulette with my car!

8

Fuel efficiency seems to be lower than advertised too. I expected better mileage for a newer model. Anyone else feel like they’re at the pump way too often?

9

Absolutely! I thought I was losing my mind until I compared it with other cars. It’s definitely a letdown for a mid-size SUV.

10

I’m curious if these problems are confined to specific manufacturing dates or if they’re a general issue across all 2021 Muranos. Has anyone researched this?

11

That’s a good point! I haven’t seen any detailed reports, but it does seem like there are clusters of complaints from certain batches.

12

Well, at least we can share our experiences and warn others! Better safe than stranded, right? It’s like we’re a support group for Murano owners looking for solidarity.

13

Haha, a support group sounds about right! Maybe we should start a Murano therapy session. “Hello, my name is Anthony, and I thought I could trust my SUV…”

14

I’ve been hearing a lot about electrical issues in the 2021 Murano, especially with the infotainment system freezing up. It’s frustrating when you rely on it for navigation!

15

I totally agree! My screen has crashed a couple of times while driving. It’s definitely a safety concern too!

Has anyone else noticed problems with the Murano’s battery life? I’m beginning to wonder if it can handle the electrical load with all its tech features.

17

Yes! The battery in mine died after just two years. I hope it’s just a rare malfunction.

18

I can relate! I read somewhere that some owners experienced lighting issues, especially with the headlights dimming unexpectedly. That’s not something you want while driving at night.

19

Oh yeah! And some have reported sensor failures too, which could lead to bigger issues. What’s up with that?

It seems like these electrical problems are widespread. I’ve been keeping an eye on forums and social media, and the complaints just keep coming!
