2024 Nissan Murano Problems: 2 Known Issues

On the 2015-2024 Nissan Murano, owners on a Murano forum describe third-generation Muranos whose 12-volt battery goes flat after sitting overnight or for a few days. A 2021 Murano owner reports the battery kept dying even though a parasitic-draw test and the alternator checked out; one reply there blames short, infrequent drives. Another owner in that discussion describes a whirring after switching off, a dead battery the next day, and says the problem stopped after an infotainment software update. A 2020 Murano owner reports a wrong clock at start-up and repeated dead batteries, and a 2015 Murano owner reports the battery draining to nothing after about five days. Nissan has not confirmed a cause for the Murano; this is an owner-reported pattern. Applies to: Third-generation Nissan Murano (2015-2024 model years). Owners reported this on 2015, 2020 and 2021 models; no report specific to the 2023 or 2024 Murano was found and Nissan has not confirmed a cause, so these are reports, not a confirmed defect for every vehicle. Short trips or long parking can also flatten a healthy battery.

On the 2021-2024 Nissan Murano, owners on Murano forums describe water getting into the cabin after rain, showing up as wet front footwells, a damp headliner, water running down the windshield pillar, or water on the rear-seat floor and in the cargo area. Owners trace it to moonroof drain tubes that are clogged with debris or have come loose, so water that should drain out behind the front wheels runs inside instead. Applies to: Only Murano models fitted with the dual-panel moonroof. On the 2023 Murano, Nissan lists it as standard on the Platinum and optional on the SL; it is not offered on the S or SV. Owner reports come from 2015-2018 third-generation Murano owners; the same generation continues through these model years. Vehicles without a moonroof are not affected by this drain issue.
