2016 Nissan Murano — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 363 evidence records for the 2016 Nissan Murano, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 141 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

  • Brakes15 (10.6%)Official recall records for this system: 18, covering model years 2009–2025.
  • Engine15 (10.6%)Official recall records for this system: 5, covering model years 2003–2007.
  • Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)15 (10.6%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2003.
  • Seats12 (8.5%)
  • Air bags (restraint system)11 (7.8%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 2007–2016.
  • Electrical system11 (7.8%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2003–2009.

Other / uncategorized: 19 classifications (13.5%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (11,876 records, model years 2003–2026) are most frequently classified under: seats, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and electrical system.
  • Safety recalls (76 records, model years 2003–2025) are most frequently classified under: brakes, steering and air bags (restraint system).
  • Transport Canada recalls (79 records, model years 2003–2025) are most frequently classified under: brakes, visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors) and engine.
  • Manufacturer communications (3,205 records, model years 2003–2026) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

  • 69reports included a mileage
  • 35,342average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
