Is 107 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2017 and 2026, roughly 12 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2017 has 107 complaints on file, the same as the 2016 (107) and more than the 2018 (15). Of the 13 model years of the Nissan Murano we cover, the 2015 has the most (203). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
