The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles, there is a possibility that a wire breaking inside the alternator could stop the battery from charging. If this happens, the charger warning and brake warning lamps will immediately come on and the battery will begin to discharge. After a short time, the engine will go into a ""fall safe"" condition which will limit vehicle speed. The engine will stop running which could result in a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the alternator with a new version which has been modified to prevent movement of the coil. The recall is expected to begin on August 3, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Defective part or component:

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles, due to the location of the forward edge of the fuel tank, in the event that a vehicle front tire runs over a small, sharp object in the road, catches it and propels it towards the rear of the vehicle, it may strike and puncture the fuel tank. A punctured tank could increase the risk of a fire. Dealers will install protectors in front of the tank free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2006. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

SEAT BELTS:REAR
|
|
Description:
|
On some sport utility vehicles, in certain high speed frontal crashes, the webbing of a rear outboard seat belt may contact the rear seat back hinge where it can be cut by the sharp edge of the metal portion of the hinge. If the webbing is completely separated, it can increase the risk of injury to an occupant in a crash. Dealers will install protectors over the webbing of the rear seat belts. The recall is expected to begin on March 21, 2006. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Summary:
|
The sports sedan of crossover SUVs.
By Phil Berg, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Nissan Murano is a tall, roomy wagon that drives like a sport sedan. Its on-road performance is first rate, delivering as much fun to the driver as a BMW X5 and other considerably more expensive SUVs. It certainly rides better than the BMW. The Murano handles with precision, speed, and more grace than most other SUVs. It is not well suited for off-road use, but does just fine on gravel roads and two-tracks.Murano's styling is one of kind. Some love it, some don't. Your neighbors certainly won't mistake it for an Explorer. The Murano comes well equipped and its luxurious ambience gives it the feel a luxury SUV. While a fully loaded Murano approaches the base price of a Lexus RX 330, feature for feature it compares favorably with the Toyota Highlander and other vehicles in its price range. |
|
Overview:
|
The Nissan Murano drives almost as well as a luxury sports sedan, but carries cargo like a Honda Pilot sport-utility. The Murano is a crossover vehicle, designed to haul cargo like a sport-utility, but ride and drive like a car. The Murano is different from most crossovers, however, in that it's biased toward the car part of the equation. It offers more of a car-like ambience and handles better on pavement than competitors like the Pilot and Toyota Highlander. One look is all it takes to know how different the Murano is. The Murano is designed to seat four or five people in comfort. Nissan resisted the temptation to cram three rows of seats inside like the Highlander and Pilot do. Like a car, the Murano has just two rows. It's not a substitute for a minivan, nor does it look like one. Murano's wild styling promotes better aerodynamics in addition to high fashion, starting with a sleek front end and a roof that curves inward. The futuristic look is backed by sporty performance. The Murano is powered by Nissan's beefy 245-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, the same engine found in the 350Z sports car. It comes with a continuously variable transmission, a high-tech automatic that's smooth and responsive. Murano's road-tuned suspension offers a smooth and sporty, carlike handling. All-wheel drive is available for better grip and stability in foul weather. The Murano shares much of its underpinnings with the Nissan Altima and Maxima sedans (but it is not related to the Infiniti FX). The Nissan Murano is an excellent choice for someone who wants the smooth ride and responsive handling of a car with the cargo space of an SUV or wagon. And it works well for dogs. The Murano was launched as a brand-new nameplate for 2003, and now comes pre-wired for a satellite radio receiver.
