Key Points:

The Nissan Murano CrossCab, a company car at The Autopian, has a major issue with its roof, particularly the fabric top which is prone to shrinking and failure, especially in cold weather.
The power tops on these vehicles have an almost 100% failure rate, leading to costly repairs that can range from $2,000 to $19,000, often exceeding the car's value.
