- Startup, tour, first impressions and review of my 2004 Nissan Murano SL AWD 3.5L V6 crossover w/Premium Package (also called the Sun and Sound Package), love this car, base grade, volume trim comes equipped with everything I want in a midsize crossover. Strong V6 power, great features and very versatile SUV. I've always wanted a Murano and this is a great example of one. Love the Silver Metallic color too. Only think I don't like is the CVT, while powerful, can be a bit finicky sometimes. Great SUV overall.

The V6 of this Nissan Murano sounds awesome and powerful
Its a great engine!
@@FansandCars thanks
I've got one of these but a 2006 fwd SL. I just hit 150,000 miles.
I bought it for $3900 canadian, 2 years ago, and it had 121,000 miles on it.
I've done a lot of maintenance. ive pretty much replaced everything but the engine and transmission. Parts aren't cheap either.
The de-tuned 350z engine (VQ V6) is a nice touch, though.
It has way more power than my wife's GMC 2013 Terrain awd 4cyl.
Unfortunately, the VQ V6 is paired with a cvt...and pulling a living room around.
Annnnd she went to a great owner! Despite some things wrong with Maureen she still runs very well and that speaks mountains about how Nissan can make a lasting car. I’m not happy they’ve cheapened out through the years but at least they continue to make very good trucks.
I hope to have many adventures with this car!
Fans and Cars I really do as well. I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
Who is Maureen?
The car I named after my grandma, Maureen
@@FansandCars The Murano?
I had a 2006 S AWD, CVT went out, timing sprockets failed which caused engine to lock up, and engine was burning oil before that, among other issued with the interior including the seat frames and sun visors, all before 150000 miles, they're COMPLETE MONEY PITS!
Please, you did not show how to operate the AC Cooling with the three controls. I am having issue with my AC not cooling on 2 of the front air flow/passage especially at the drivers and passenger angles are not cooling
Can you show me how to operate the interior lights at night so I can turn them on
Nicely detailed video! Very informative! :)
Thanks for watching! Glad I could help!
I like it fans and cars have a awesome day have a nice day fans and cars
Thank you!
Correct me if I’m wrong but if I remember correctly, you sold this vehicle, right?
Yes, the CVT went out at 56k
Can you tell me what is the paint color code on this car? it is on the door jam at the bottom. I have a 2003 and it is not on mine for some strange reason.
I need to paint my Bumper but cant figure out the color code.

Might sound like a dumb question but how do you open the little door for the gas cap 😅
Just push the side of the little door. The car needs to be unlocked though.
I'm not sure what years had transmission problems, but, they seem to have resolved the issue, in later models, what's it like as a motorway cruiser.
The 2003-2007 have widespread transmission issues, 2009-2014 less widespread but still prevalent, 2015-2021 doesn’t have many issues. It’s a quiet smooth riding car with good handling and performance when the transmission does work however.
@@FansandCars I think I will focus on purchasing a Honda crv, as it has a very good reliability record.
Can you plug in a aux like for music on the radio
There is no Aux jack in this car. I suggest using a FM transmitter or cassette adapter
Please, does Nissan Murano have phone charging port
It has multiple 12V outlets but no USB ports.
It seems like no one else in your family wants the car, so you end up taking it home. When you showed the inside, it was surprising to see cloth seats on a high trim level instead of leather.
Oh believe me people wanted the car, but she wanted to give it to me instead of my 10 cousins because even though I was four hours away I drove up there every single weekend for a year to go see her and take care of her and run errands. I’ve always wanted this car and, well she ended up giving it to me and it was really sweet of her. This is a base model SL with the sun and sound package which comes with a Bose premium audio system and power tilt/slide moonroof. I love this car it’s great. Glad I got to make a tour video for you I’m glad you enjoyed it.
@@FansandCars So how were able to take it home if it was not in the same state?
It was in PA but I drove it home. In VA the police have no jurisdiction because it’s PA plates and they weren’t pulling people over because the DMV was closed for COVID. So I took the chance and ran with it.
@@FansandCars Back when I was car shopping, I saw a subaru outback limited with all of the options for the sale by owner in the washington dc are. I want to see it, but it was over a 2 hour drive from where I live.
I love the new green color on the new Outback! I could understand why you don’t want to drive 2 hours for that car. The Frontier I wanted was red and had the V6 with a manual transmission but it was all the way in Arizona. I didn’t get it it was too far.
Cute car
Thanks! :)
Had you drove on interstates lately?? And how many mpg
Going 50 MPH, 27mpg. Going 70 MPH, 25mpg. Going 80 MPH, 22 mpg.
I’m about to buy one for 3.500, 130k miles. Super super clean one owner (family) they have not had any issues with it. I keep reading about transmission. Should I be worried?
Mine blew at 55k. That would be before the original factory power train warranty expires. I personally would find another car.
Aw man. I just committed to buying this car (same year) and it has 57K miles. Private owner, said transmission belt was replaced and no problems since. Now after watching your video i am nervous to go through with the sale. Any recommendations with maintenance to avoid further transmission problems? I am considering an extended warranty, but that’s another $3500!
Instead of the recommended 30k, change the transmission fluid every 15k. That’s what I would suggest.
@@FansandCars thank you. Aside from transmission, did you experience any other issues? Anything else i should know?
The sunvisors won’t stay up, common issue with most early 2000s nissans, the right side door lock actuator went out three times, and the gas struts that lift the hood up went out.
This does not gave timjng belt...is timing chain..no replacement needed
👍
Do you recommend this car? I have seen a lot of bad reviews of it.
No. The transmission went out as I was turning left on green and I almost got hit.
@@FansandCars Sorry to hear that, thanks for letting me know!
No problem
@@FansandCars whats the best 200s murano model u recommend
I would say stay away from the Murano and buy a 2006 Honda Pilot.
We have one and I hate it every 3 months the check engine light comes on and it has to be worked on what a piece of junk
The CVT went out on this at 55,000 miles.
Did you still have it?
No I don’t. Transmission went out.
@@FansandCars lmao
CV transmission
Yes, correct.
