2006 Nissan Murano Petrol / LPG

Summary:

Unreliable, costly to run, dealer is out of their depth with this sort of car

Faults:

Head gasket blew after a blocked "cat", which the dealer did not spot. Dealer wanted to replace the engine costing £10000.

Took the car to another garage for a second opinion, who noticed the blocked "cat", but also found massive wear in one half of the engine block So a new block has been ordered and I can only hope that Nissan will pay towards the cost, due to the low mileage on the car. Second garage has found out that this wear problem is quite common, but Nissan don`t accept there is a problem.

General Comments:

I love to drive this car, and like the look, but never have I had such an unreliable car.

MPG is hopeless; nowhere near the makers' MPG figures; that's why I added LPG.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
