2021 Nissan Murano — reported problems and evidence

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
