OK,
I seem to have bad luck with cars. I owned not only a 1999, but a 2000 Mercedes ML320. Worse cars I ever owned. Very unreliable. Then I owned a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser. Very nice, quiet, but OMG the gas mileage!
In January I bought a 2004 Murano. Loved the looks, the sportiness, etc. Wasn't too excited about the interior, but figured I could overlook it.
Now, after two months I am going insane. This is by far the worst car for noises - rattles, creaks, ticks - well, you know. It seems the only time these noises go away, is when I am playing a CD or the radio!
I have had it in to the dealer twice for this. They have added foam or something both times, but the problems persist. Now I have a new one. What appears to be a window rattle on the right side.
Now I feel I have made a big mistake. I hoped this what the last car I would buy for at least 5 years. Now it may be sold before the first oil change!
Is there any hope for all these issue to be solved? Should the dealer give me a free rental car every time I bring the car in for this? (They never replicate the problems, btw).
The rattles are one thing, but what about the ticks, squeeks, and creaks? Maybe there is a silcone grease or something that can be put between the dash seams???
Help me here! How do you guys/gals keep the faith? It is wearing me down! I love the car except for these things. It's a $30K plus car for heaven's sake!
Actually, I feel better after my tirade and seeing I am not alone.
