Problem overview

Some Nissan Murano owners report experiencing high fuel consumption, which can be a concern for those seeking better vehicle efficiency. Factors such as excess weight in the vehicle are noted to contribute to decreased fuel economy. Additionally, some owners report a lack of power, which may stem from issues like a faulty fuel system, ignition system problems, malfunctioning MAF sensor, or a defective catalytic converter. Symptoms such as a hissing or whining sound may accompany this lack of power, indicating the need for prompt attention. Furthermore, engine sputtering is reported by some Murano owners, often linked to similar underlying issues with the fuel and ignition systems. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes with high-quality oil and filters, is recommended to prevent these problems and ensure smooth operation. Addressing these concerns swiftly is essential for maintaining the vehicle's performance and efficiency.
