“On january 22, 2020 around 5:30 am I discovered that my backup camera was not functioning. I turned my car off and on at least three times to try and get it to work but that did not resolve the issue. The backup camera is showing the red, green and yellow guide lines but the screen is black. It is not returning any images from behind the vehicle. The vehicle was at home in a parking spot when this occurred. One week later to today, january 28,2020, the backup camera is still not functioning properly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11302433, filed 2020-01, 36,099 miles“I am concerned about the glare from the hood that blinds me when I'm driving. When the sun shines on the hood it causes a glare that prevents the driver from seeing the road. This has been going on since I purchased the car in march 2018. I have tried adjusting my seat, adjusting the steering wheel, and wearing uv protected sunglasses. None of these solutions help the problem. Now I'm experiencing eye pains that I'm worried may be related. But most importantly I'm worried that the glare will cause me to have a car accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11102879, filed 2018-06, 9,000 miles“I have a 2017 Nissan Murano. I was driving on a highway at approximately 12 in the afternoon when we heard a loud explosion on the roof of the car. The sunroof glass and headliner were both closed. I slightly opened the headliner and could see the glass was shattered. I immediately pulled over on the side of the highway and looked on top of the car to find the front section of the panoramic sunroof had completely exploded and was shatter. The glass was actually protruding upward so it was obvious nothing had falling from the sky on top of it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11104544, filed 2018-06, 37,000 miles“The car hood has a ridge that slopes toward the driver directly in front of the windshield wipers. The sun reflects directly into the driver when there is morning or afternoon sun and the sun visor cannot be positioned low enough to block the reflection. This reflection can temporarily blind the driver while the car is in motion. I am trading this car in for another vehicle because of this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11113065, filed 2018-07, 14,000 miles“Glare from the chrome area of the side air vents into the side view mirrors both driver and passenger side. The reflection from the chrome around the side air vents into the side view mirrors distorts the drivers vision on both mirrors. This is a definite safety hazard and Nissan should correct the problem. It appears Nissan has failed to correct this problem and that others have complained about this problem as well. I have had 3 other Murano's and never had a problem until this model and year .”
