How this compares
107 complaints is 2.5 times fewer than the median 2017 model on this site and 2.9 times fewer than the median 2017 SUV. Among the 5 Murano model years here it ranks 5th 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.
