Hello all. I'm new to this forum although I have owned a Murano for just over 2 years now. Bought one from an early batch at a local dealer here in Va Beach in Jan of '03. It's an SL AWD - BL ext w/ CL int - and I absolutely love it. All problems have been minor and not mechanical. (Dash & pillar rattles, loose driver seat mechanism, etc.)
So, last night, I'm flipping through the Consumer Report Buyers Guide for '05, as my wife and I are beginning to look for a new vehicle for her. The write up on the Murano is very favorable until the end where they state that they do not recommend it due to a steering defect. Apparently Nissan is aware of the defect and is supposed to have it ironed out on the '05 models.
Anyone know anything about this?
One other quick question. I, as a result of this so called steering defect, in addition to wanting to upgrade, am considering wheeling and dealing with the local dealer on an '05 MO. However, I'm only 2 yrs into a 5 yr lease. What might be my best course of action to not get screwed on the deal? I would obviously first attempt a deal with the dealer I originally bought from, as I'm assuming that's my best chance at getting a decent deal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
