        How this compares

        2015 Nissan Murano203
        Median 2015 model here (104 vehicles)274
        Median 2015 SUV here (44)313

        203 complaints is 1.3 times fewer than the median 2015 model on this site and 1.5 times fewer than the median 2015 SUV. Among the 5 Murano model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
