Yes you need to change your in cabin filter. Wal-mart sells them for around 15$ if you buy the one from Nissan it is around 50$. You will find many recommendations for self install that say to take apart the dashboard and 7 or so screws. Skip that the easier solution is to slide out 2 hinge pins that hold the glove box in place they are located on the underside of the glove box. You will find there is a string that holds the detached glove box so don't yank too hard once the hinge pins are out. Support it if possible so it's not dangling in mid air. There are some clips that cover the flap that holds the filter in place a flat screw driver will make prying those easier. Note orientation on uninstall of old and reverse procedure with new filter. Reinstall flaps/clips then glove box. Viola Saved yourself 129$ dealer install..

Ok, it could be your condenser has mildew or your cabin air filter requires replacement.

I have a 2005 Nissan murano the a/c compressor comes on and hot air comes out the vents. Please help

Your problem is most likely caused by a jammed AC/Heater temperature control blend door and or blend door electric actuator motor. The door is stuck in the heated air position and can't move to divert the air flow across the cold AC evaporator core. In most cars this problem requires the entire dash assembly be removed to replace the parts.

Found a leak coming from the outside grill and runs down the inside and into my drivers well , can you help

If there is a leak getting into the passenger compartment from the 'firewall' it usually indicates a leaking heater core. Smell the leak and if it smells like antifreeze it is the heater core. If it has no smell and is clear then the drain tube from the defroster vent is plugged up causing the condensation from the AC/defroster to leak inside the vehicle.

2005 nissan murano "s" surges and bucks when accelerating.

You need to have your engine flushed and cleaned out. One or more of your spark plugs aint firing. You need to replace them all to include the wires as well. If you dont get your engine flushed, you could blow your engine up.
