Anonymous, MO (2017 Nissan Murano Platinum 3.5-L V6)
Other in-car electronics problem

"The XM radio module which is an embedded component of the entertainment system stopped working. The dealership stated that in order to fix the problem the entire entertainment system would have to be replaced. The cost of replacement was prohibitive, so the repair was not made. All other aspects of the entertainment system are operative."

Anonymous A., VA (2017 Nissan Murano Platinum 3.5-L V6)

""The Check Engine light came on and my mechanic performed the replacement of the purge valve near the fuel tank. After 100 miles the Check Engine light came on again. The Nissan dealer wants to charge $175 for following the Nissan Service Bulletin to reload the software to correct the Check Engine light staying on, with no guarantee the Check Engine light will stay off and no guarantee additional work not required.""

Anonymous, MT (2017 Nissan Murano Platinum 3.5-L V6)
