Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I went from a white 2019 Nissan Murano to a black 2020 Murano. The week after I got it, I took a trip to the gulf coast. On my way down, when the sun was overhead, the rear lip of the hood acted just like a mirror and reflected the sun right in the drivers eyes. If you look at the hood, it slants up like a normal hood, then the last 3 inches are tilted down toward the cowl/windshield wiper area. I am attaching a picture, however it does not accurately show how bright this reflection is. It is exactly like somebody taking a mirror and shining it in your eyes. …”

“January 4, 2024 the front portion of our panoramic sunroof shattered spontaneously. We thought we were struck by something so took care of it through our insurance. On April 27, 2026 the back portion of our panoramic sunroof shattered spontaneously. This time we were driving on the freeway on an overpass and there was no one around. This was also taken care of through our insurance. The repair shop checked for a recall and there wasn't one. We checked on the internet about this issue and saw that this has been a problem. We tried to be included in a class action suit and it had been closed. …”

“My sunroof exploded but I don't know why. There was no warning. Might have been a rock but I didn't see one. I had the sunroof closed but the fabric cover was open for light. I heard an explosive noise and then glass started raining in. I closed the fabric cover to keep the glass out of the passenger compartment. No real injuries other than a couple of glass shards being sharp. Mostly just got some skin irritation. Some areas on my car have scratched paint and plastic parts. I had my Nissan dealer look at it. They will clean up the glass and replace the sunroof for about $2000. …”
