I like the look of the 1 generation MO but I don't know why they have so many problem, specialy CVT tranmission and the transfer case. MO is not a reliability vehicle .

Don't base your opinion on car forums such as this one. The problems reported here aren't representative of the vast majority of Muranos.

X 2. Think of how many 1st gen Muranos are on the road compared to the number of members here on this forum. I bet most Muranos out there do not exhibit the same problems we see here. My brother has a 2005, I have a 2005, my friends have 2004 and 2007. So far (may be we're just lucky), none of us have had any CVT, transfer case, high pressure steering hose, wheel bearing, etc. problems commonly seen on the board.

Keep in mind that we don't abuse our vehicles. We just keep an eye on all the fluid levels, pay attention to any signs of trouble and do the basic maintenance either ourselves or garages.

If you did not know any better and stood outside the intake door of your local jail you would think your town had a major crime problem because the vast majority of the people passing by would be either law enforcement personnel or criminals. However, common sense tells you the jail is not a good representation of the local population.

The same holds true here. Many people join the forum to post problems and ask for assistance. If it is a unique problem it will be discussed at length and the thread could on for pages. On the flip side, if someone posts they love their trouble-free MO it gets little or no acknowledgment. That is just the nature of good automotive forums that have an active and knowledgeable membership.

Is the MO a very reliable car? Maybe, maybe not. But there is nothing in these pages to support your claim that it is "not a reliable vehicle".

Here is one for ya all. I had some work done on my 04 with 98,000 +/- miles at Auto Motion in Reno. While I had it in, I had him check the CVT, all's well......kinda. I had a little slippage. Nissan of Reno was called and they said they did 36 or so CVT change outs last year. Nissan is aware of the issue with the CVT and wants to stay away from a class action lawsuit. I was told that Nissan will replace the CVT B/4 117,000 mi. with pretty much no questions asked. They are not going to change out just because. So pay attention as to how the CVT feels. Any little issue. Take it in and have it documented.
