I have a 2004 Nissan Murano and have experienced several problems to date. First, after about one year of ownership the idler pulley bracket cracked (2/21/06) and had to be replaced. For the last year the brakes have squeaked and when brought to the dealership they reported they could not find a problem. Currently (9/02/07) I am experiencing the same idler pulley bracket problem and will have to take the care in to be serviced and inconvenienced once again.
