To open the trunk of your Nissan Murano from the inside, there is a concealed internal handle for security purposes. This handle is not widely known and is located behind the trunk lock on the center of the tailgate. You can access it by removing a plastic cover and then finding a lever to activate and open the trunk from the passenger compartment.
My Murano 2010 SL is missing a trunk release button on the interior!
To unlock the trunk of the Nissan Murano from inside the car, simply push the button that opens the trunk.
The entry-level 2017 model lacks an interior button for opening the rear liftgate, which is a premium feature. The liftgate can only be accessed from the exterior in this configuration.
Nissan dealerships should conduct a recall related to the trunk unlocking mechanism positioned underneath the steering wheel in Nissan Murano SUVs. The trunks in these vehicles should be placed in a more accessible location rather than behind the backseat, which currently requires folding down the seat and crawling to unlock the trunk. This design flaw in an expensive SUV like the Nissan Murano seems overly complicated and inconvenient, especially when needing to access the trunk for grocery shopping. Such inconvenience leaves customers unsatisfied as no one should have to crawl in the backseat to access the trunk, which can be tiring. To ensure customer satisfaction, the dealership should issue a recall and address this issue to improve their business prospects.
