Is the 2007 Nissan Murano Worth Buying?
The 2007 Nissan Murano offers a comfortable ride and a potent V6 engine, but its Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a significant Achilles' heel that demands meticulous scrutiny.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
NISSAN IS RECALLING 362,891 MY 2003-2007 MURANO VEHICLES. THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING.
