The engine and transmission do not run smoothly. It hesitates, and it doesnât downshift correctly. The engine revs up and will not shift gears properly. Itâs jerky. Everything about this engine and transmission feels strange for a luxury car. Sometimes, I donât feel safe trying to pass somebody. You wouldnât know how bad of a ride this car is from a 20-minute or even a 10-minute test drive. Itâs something you have to own and experience to understand. Whatever they did with this car feels unsafe to drive, especially with the engine stuttering and hesitating the way it does. And I only have 7,700 miles on my car.

I was going down a hill and when I tried to slow down the brakes went to the floor and I hit the drive gear button twice and it went back to normal. I did not notice anything on the dash screens that I am aware of.

The 2026 Nissan Murano is a great vehicle, but often times the infotainment display freezes and the restart remedy provided by Nissan does not work either. That is an annoyance but the rear view camera which is a standard safety feature on vehicles does not display either. With the only way to fix the issue is by letting the cats computer sit for a few hours and fully turn off. It has occured many times.
