While driving at a safe speed on the highway (65 mph) with no other cars in my vicinity my sunroof exploded for no reason at all. the was a loud boom and then the interior material of the sunroof started flapping. since it was closed at the time, i'm thankful that the interior material caught the majority of the glass with only the remaining outskirts of glass making its way into the car. this happened out of the blue for no apparent reason. there were no other cars near me so it could not have been from a rock or something that was kicked up from another vehicle. it was a clear, sunny day in the upper 60's.
The sun visor on the driver's side (left side) no longer stays in the up position. it hangs down and blocks the view if the rearview mirror and blocks the view if street signs and street lights.
I was driving on a 2-lane highway at night, going 50-55 mph with few cars around - no overpasses at all in the area. i heard a sudden really loud noise and immediately heard the sound of glass open somewhere in the vehicle. i thought my vehicle had been shot at! when i was able to find a place to pull over, i used my flashlight to check all the windows, which were fine...then realized the broken glass was on my sunroof! it was completely shattered, outwards. i later learned this is known as "exploding sunroof", and the murano is the 3rd most reported vehicle this happens to. nissan takes no responsibility! this should have been a recall with the preponderance of episodes, and i'm very disappointed in nissan. this is my 6th (and now last) nissan. there was nothing, as far as temperature, driving conditions, or traffic to explain why and when this happened. i am now parked in the garage, waiting a few days for a mobile service to come replace the glass, and i'm not happy! the claim on my insurance will surely raise my rates.
Driving down city street car loses power, , still runs but runs slow as if it's not getting gas, apparently nissan's are notorius for transmission assembly failing...cost to repair $3800.00!! car not even paid off, nissan knows and knew there were problems with transmission
Driver side sun visor broken falls down while driving blocks vision this is a safety hazard it happens at random i went to the dealership they said it is not under warranty and would cost over $400.00 to replace my murano has 35000 miles on it
Drivers visor broke and popping noise comes from the dash board by the windshield
The driver side sun visor won't stay in the up or down position but rests right in the middle obstructing my view of the road.
Car won't start. taken to dealership four times in one month and continues to have issues. originally told it was the ipdm module which was replaced. about a week and half later the engine wouldn't start again but the dashboard lights, radio and heat/air wouldn't shut off. was told this time that it was a faulty battery which was replaced. after picking it up and driving less than 10 miles and sitting for a few hours it wouldn't start again. every single light on the dashboard is on and again the engine won't start or cut off the lights. had it towed back to the dealership and 4 days later was told that it was due to a rusty bolt of some sort that was loose and needed to be replaced. 2 days later it wouldn't start again. a few hours later the car starts but the check engine light is on. car was towed to dealership again and it has now been four days with no updates from the dealership. also - drivers side sunvisor is broken and won't stay up which impairs vision. after all of these trips to the dealership they said it would cost over $200 to fix. i didn't think much of it until i reviewed and noticed that many other have the same issue with the sun visors so this is not an isolated incident.
Traveling at 70-75 mph on highway road when sunroof exploded. sunroof was closed but the shade cover was open. glass poured all into the car on top of driver and passenger.
Driver's side sun visor won't stay up. it doesn't matter if the car is moving or stationary. this is dangerous! the visor obscures visibility, and yet when i need it, it won't stay in the position i need it to, in order to block sun glare. this has been a problem with muranos for over a decade, and nissan has continuously refused to issue a recall.
The drivers side sun visor will not remain in the stowed position, and impairs visibility presenting a safety issue.
Sun visor on both driver n passanger fails to stay up. once in a while the visor just comes down. push it back up, and it may go up halfway, or to top with a loud bang, then sags again. dangerous when you are in traffic and not safe when it happens! clearly a problem with almost all murano's. called nissan and no help but to sell new ones. we have just 26500 miles on our murano.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay in the up position. visor falls randomly during drive and impairs visibility suddenly. this same issue was present on the 2007 murano i owned.
I was driving on the interstate, with nothing around my car and no overhead passes when there was an explosion, which sounded like a gun shot within the car. i was able to pull off the road and found my sun roof had exploded. fortunately i did not lose control of the car so no one was hurt but had the sun roof cover not been closed the occupants would have been seriously hurt.
Sun visors break and fall down. will not stay up affects vision no recall talked to nissan dealer they said this was a problem across the board but 200 for visor plus labor!. car under warranty but does no cover this. nissan needs to do a recall to fix problem. i have seen many other owners complaints with nissan.
Drivers side sun visor will not stay up. its always blocking my vision with vehicle in motion,stationary,turning on any street or highway.
Explosion of sunroof. as i was driving on the freeway (i-10), i suddenly heard a loud popping. for a moment i was concerned something was thrown or shot at the vehicle. i then pulled over and assessed the vehicle and saw nearly the entire interior portion of the sunroom was shattered and fallen on the sunroof cover. the small portions of the exterior appeared to be pushed upward (which further confirmed something from the outside of the vehicle did not come interior).
Drivers side visor does not stay up. while driving visor drops with out warning. very hazardous. has almost caused wreck . ongoing problem with these vehicles.
I have had my car a little over three years and recently have had all four of the passenger door locks fail. initially this was the driver side, these were fixed and then the passenger side failed. during these periods the rear doors, where my young cousins sit could not be opened from the exterior. this is rather alarming as if we were in any sort of sever accident getting them out would be very difficult. the service center i went to tried to pass this off as regular wear and tear but it seems quite clear that some defect is present and one that could lead to someone being harmed if an accident were to occur.
I received recall letter nhtsa recall 17v-184.called nissan 804-378-3000.made appt for recall,was advised part was there.upon arriving at appt. i was told sorry parts were there but now are all gone.we will order and put your name on it and call you in a couple weeks.it has been almost 3 months no call. i have attempted to call and no answer,left several messages no call back.this is my first murano and i want to do the right thing to keep my warranty good.i am frustrated and do not know what to do.please advise me.thank you.03
I noticed a spot of water on the floor and i looked that it was liking water under the car and i don't know where exactly came from.
Started to drive my 2014 nissan murano when a heard a huge whoosing noise and a huge rush of air. i then say pieces of my sunroof coming off the back of my car, although there were no other vehicles on my side or in front or back. opened shade to sunroof and found that glass had exploded upward and shattered. closed shade and immediately brought car to nissan dealership. dealership still has vehicle.
Bought car in november 2014 and air condition has stopped blowing out cold air, needs repair. test air conditional while in motion and in park.
The vehicle was stationary in a public parking lot. as the rear power lift gate was coming down to close, i quickly reached in to push a tarp out of the way...the lift gate came down on top of my head and did not auto reverse. it continued downward after striking my head sending me to the ground. this blunt force trauma to my head resulted in permanent vision loss to the macula of my left eye called a scotoma (is/os defect.)
Car rolls back when stopped on a hill. we find it very unsafe to drive. the manufacturer says, it is normal.
Blind spot warning and lane departure warning systems fail as indicated by flashing green lights on the instrument panel. this is an intermittent problem and occurs during long trips. the systems may fail and be unavailable for various amounts of time and then return to normal operation. the failure can be corrected by shutting down the engine and restarting. the failures occur at various times during a trip. when the systems fail, the blind spot warning lights do not illuminate, and the lane departure warning tone does not happen. the dealer has been unable to find any codes that would indicate a problem and therefore has no idea how to fix the problem. since the driver has to monitor these systems more closely than normal, this could lead to a situation where the system is in failure when it is most needed. this problem has been reported to the dealer at every oil change service since the car was purchased.
