Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2016 reports latest and the 2018 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2016 has had 2 more years on the road to accumulate mileage. 6 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2015–2024 Nissan Murano reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 20,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 72,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 364
- Recalls
- 11
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.
Most reported
- Problems owners could not categorise21.1% of complaints · median 20,000 mi
- Transmission and driveline13.9% of complaints · median 36,000 mi
- Brakes13.6% of complaints · median 21,000 mi
Owners filed 655 complaints with NHTSA about the 2015–2024 Nissan Murano; problems owners could not categorise leads with 21.1% of them, and half of the 364 that record an odometer reading came by 20,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
36% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 2.6 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. On a generation this new that is expected: few examples have been driven further yet, so the timing says little about design or wear so far.

How many miles does a 2015–2024 Nissan Murano last?
The newest model years (2024) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2015–2024 Nissan Murano, half of the 364 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 20,000 miles and 90% by 72,000 miles.
4 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 3 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Murano reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 20,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 21.1% of complaints (138 reports, 66 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 20,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 39,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 13.9% of complaints (91 reports, 44 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 36,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 13,000 and 62,000 miles.
The brakes account for 13.6% of complaints (89 reports, 52 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 21,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 12,000 and 42,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 11.6% of complaints (76 reports, 45 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 34,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 17,000 and 52,000 miles.
Throttle and speed control accounts for 11.6% of complaints (76 reports, 60 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 26,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 10,000 and 36,000 miles.
Forward collision avoidance accounts for 9.9% of complaints (65 reports, 22 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 18,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 8,000 and 40,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2015–2024 Murano
Transmission — Xtronic CVT 2015–2018
CVT durability complaints continued into this generation. A class action settlement (Beaver v. Nissan North America) covering MY2015-2018 Murano extended the New Vehicle Limited Warranty as it applies to the transmission and provided reimbursement for owners who had already paid for qualifying CVT repairs or replacements.

- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer of a newer example: 36% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, and many of these cars have not covered that yet. The early window may still be ahead, so check what the factory warranty still covers and whether any recall on the VIN is open.
On inspection, problems owners could not categorise and the transmission and driveline are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. Problems owners could not categorise in particular shows a median failure mileage of 20,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2015–2024 Nissan Murano recalls (11)
NHTSA records 11 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
2 of these carry a severe advisory — NHTSA's do not drive or park outside warnings, which the agency applies only when it considers the risk immediate. If you own one of these vehicles, that is the first thing to check by VIN.
The campaigns cluster around the hydraulic brake circuit (5), visibility equipment (1), the engine and its cooling system (1). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

The defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Murano vehicles manufactured December 4, 2014, to March 17, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) actuators which may have contamination in the solenoid…
What can happen. Under some driving conditions, when the ABS is activated, the malfunctioning ABS actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The free fix. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 13, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at…
Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 655 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 31 (4.7%)
- Fires
- 13
- Injury reports
- 19
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Murano problems by model year
The 2015 drew the most complaints of this generation, 203, most of them about the transmission and driveline, and the 2019 the fewest among the 6 years with at least 20 complaints, 43. A typical year drew about 108.
The first year of the generation, 2015, drew more complaints than a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
