2022 Nissan Murano Common Problems by Component
5 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2 complaintsSafety-relatedOwners of the 2022 Nissan Murano report issues with the vehicle's safety systems and windshield. One complaint describes a failure of the automatic collision notification system during a hit-and-run incident, where the system did not activate and the manual SOS button failed to connect for 15 minutes, despite repeated attempts. This issue is compounded by a lack of prior warnings and has significant safety implications. Another complaint notes a cracked windshield along the bottom after using the defrost feature. These issues appear to occur relatively early in the vehicle's life, as one owner reported a significant depreciation within a year of ownership.

1 complaintSafety-relatedThe contact owns a 2022 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while his wife was at a complete stop, another vehicle which was driving approximately 25 MPH, crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The contact’s wife veered to the side of the road. The Automatic Collision Notification (ACN) safety feature designed to connect a driver to a live Response Specialist who can request emergency services on the driver’s behalf in the event of a collision, failed to engage. The contact’s wife then pressed the SOS button connected to the automatic collision notification (ACN) safety feature but the ACN failed to respond. The contact’s wife was able to drive to her residence. The contact contacted NissanConnect and tested the SOS button functionality; however, NissanConnect confirmed that they were not receiving any communication from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The contact’s wife, who has hypertension, was transported to the hospital with the assistance of her husband. A police report was filed. There were no injuries sustained.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
