For a while, the Murano was ranked third, below the RX330 and Pilot. However for 2005, the Highlander now ranks above the Murano (placing it 4th). I guess the 3.3L engine and 3rd row seat did it for the Toyota.
Nissan fared terrible in the reliability survey due to problems with the Quest, Armada, and Titan (each receiving the lowest mark, a black dot, for reliability). As a result, Nissan trailed all the other Japanese automakers. Infiniti was reliable though. The Murano had half a red dot for reliability, an encouraging score. As poorly as Nissan did, most of the European makes made a turn for the worse - nearly every Mercedes, BMW, VW, and Volvo received black dots for reliability.
