Less than 48 hours of ownership and viva nissan of el paso tx would not take back this vehicle that has a horrible glare reflection from the sun when the stylized hood angles reflect back light into the vehicle and against other dash chrome accents. dealer did, however, send us to his "favorite" auto tint shop, universal tinting in el paso tx. they were told by the dealer to put on a 70% optik nano ceramic tint across the windshield and send the nissan dealer the bill of $100. that company did such a rush job and left bubbles and visual impression of viewing through a fishbowl, not to mention the slime residual from the application that was left all across the leather dash board. 82 hours after purchase we reviewed that 70% is not street legal in new mexico where the car dealer knew we resided, so we took the car to a nm window tint company who will be removing the "dirty job" (as they described it) and will do a clean, clear job using 80% ceramic type product (blue air 80 bl sr hpr). firstly, why after less than 48 hours did the dealer, viva nissan of el paso texas not follow our request to freeze the funding and let us return the 2015 murano and select another less dangerous vehicle to drive? secondly, why would a 3rd party window tinting company offer a solution that was not street legal in our residing state? and most importantly, why isn't nissan building these overglassed, over classed, over styleized vehicles with such repeating complaints of glare without providing a factory solution to the windshield or paint coating? i guess it could be worse, our transmission could blow if it's one of the unlucky ones from a certain timeframe when nissan factories were trying to save a dime and installed cheaper parts. hmmm.

Poor hood design near the wipers, the inclination of the hood near the wipers reflects the sunlight directly on to the driver eyes and the intensity is so high that it obstructs vision and could lead to fatal front collision and the driver may not assess the distance of braking before the impact in emergency situations. the first occurrence happened to me while driving between 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm and the most recent occurrence was when driving on i76 turnpike philly to pittsburgh west bound around 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm the sunlight reflection was causing me discomfort in my vision. this can be avoided by adjusting the seat height all the way to the lowest level and i being 6 ft tall was not a problem in driving at this seat positik . every driver has a comfort zone of seat level and unfortunately my seating position falls where the reflection causes a serious problem. nissan has to find a workaround on this issue and has to consider it very seriously and take immediate action. *tr
