| The keyless remote appears to lock the doors and set the security system. the door handle was pulled allowing entry into the car while it was thought to be locked. the alarm sounds but the car can be accessed when it appears and sounds as if it is properly locked. only the drivers door locks. the door can be opened while in motion from the inside. *tr | |||

| We own a 2009 nissan murano sl bought new and the head gasket cracked leaking fluids and emitting a strong smell of coolant. we have had a few unpleasant repairs, new brakes at 30,000, new tires at 32,000 and now at only 57,000 miles cracked head gaskets. we have had all the recommend services performed. had we waited we just would need to get use to the smell of coolant. it was covered under the warranty. both the nissan dealer and an independent shop confirmed the need to replace both head gaskets. the engine needs to be dropped in order to complete the repair. we have been waiting a week for the completion of the repairs. many reports show that their murano just was not the same after the head gasket issue and we don't want to have another failure and find out what will happen when it our nissan turns 60,001....our concern is the number of murano | |||

| I recently had the opportunity to drive a 2009 nissan murano equipped with their smart key. similarly, i also drove a 2007 lexus gs with a smart key. i have found that both vehicles can be shut off and exited with while it is inadvertently left in the park transmission position. although a barely audible chime rings, a driver can exit the vehicle and if the vehicle is on an incline, it can roll freely!! i am astounded that there are no neutral safety controls on these new vehicles. standard key ignitions prevent the driver from releasing the key in any position except park ... not so with these new smart key cars! i foresee many accidents occurring unless some correction is made in this option. i don't understand how a government vehicle safety check would overlook this flaw. *tr | |||
