2023 Nissan Murano Problems: 4 Known Issues

On the 2023 Nissan Murano, on the 2023 Nissan Murano, Nissan bulletin NTB24-037 provides a software update for false automatic emergency braking (AEB) activation, unexpected braking or false forward-collision warnings (FCW) when no related trouble codes are stored. A false warning does not mean the radar sensor has failed. A Nissan technician must confirm the vehicle's software version first; the model year or trim alone does not qualify a vehicle.

On the 2023 Nissan Murano, nissan bulletin NTB19-033G covers intelligent cruise control (ICC) cutting out, an AEB/FEB warning or a radar-obstruction message on the 2023 Murano when one of these radar codes is the only stored trouble code: C1A16, C1A16-97, C2582 or C2582-97. The warning does not by itself mean the sensor has failed. This is a service bulletin, not a recall. The bulletin's sensor replacement steps based on the sensor's build date cover only 2015–2018 Muranos, not the 2023 model.

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; this is an owner-reported pattern on the third-generation Murano (2015-2024 model years), with reports on 2015, 2020 and 2021 models. 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. It affects 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. The owner reports come from 2015-2018 Muranos of the same third generation, which continues through the 2021-2024 model years. Vehicles without a moonroof are not affected by this drain issue.
