2012 Nissan Murano

I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY, SUN WAS IN MY EYES SO I LOWERED THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR. IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME FLOPPY AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO RAISE BACK UP. I HAD TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH OTHER HAND WHILE SLOWING AND NAVIGATING SAFELY TO PULL OFF OF HIGHWAY. WITH FOCUSED CONCENTRATION, I CAN GET THE VISOR TO GO BACK UP INTO PLACE AND STAY BUT CANNOT SAFELY USE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE "PIN"? THAT ATTACHES UP INSIDE THE VISOR ATTACHMENT TO THE CAR ROOF. ?

DRIVING ON A CLEAR DAY (50DEGREES) ON SATURDAY APRIL 25TH, MY 2012 NISSAN MURANO'S SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE GLASS WAS PROTRUDING OUTWARD, AS IF IT EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE WAS SHARDS OF GLASS EVERYWHERE AND LUCKILY THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS BECAUSE THE SOUND IT MADE INSIDE THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED CAUSED ME TO SWERVE A LITTLE. *TR

AT SPORADIC TIMES, MY 2012 NISSAN MURANO WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED FOR 5-10 SECONDS IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY) I NOTIFIED NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I CONTACTED CHILDREN NISSAN WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHEN THE PROBLEM COULD BE REPLICATED OR WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. ON 3-15-14, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AUTONATION NISSAN IN MARIETTA, GA TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND SERVICED. I DISCUSSED THE ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH AUTONATION, BUT WAS TOLD TO COME BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT OR IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THREE SEPARATE TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS HAVE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED CASES OF THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS FAILING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME SO PREVALENT THAT NISSAN DESIGNED A SPECIAL 120K-MILE WARRANTY FOR THE CVT IN THE 2003-2010 NISSAN MURANO VEHICLES. THE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 MURANO ARE IDENTICAL TO THOSE WHO HAD ISSUES WITH THE 2003-2010 MURANO. DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, I AM UNWILLING TO PLACE MY FAMILY IN DANGER BY DRIVING MY MURANO. DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOW BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE PROBLEM. *DT

DRIVING 60MPH ON BUSY 3-LANE HIGHWAY, I/HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE ENGINE THEN LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO 'MUSCLE' THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE, SLOWED AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE MILLER DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THIS SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO OTHERS DUE TO "COLD WEATHER" THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPORT THIS EVENT. (ST. CLOUD, MN). *TR

I HAD AN OIL SERVICES DONE, HOWEVER IN ONE OF MY OIL SERVICES DONE RECENTLY SOMETHING OCCURRED INCORRECTLY AND MY VEHICLE STARTING BLOWING SMOKE FROM THE MUFFLERS, AGAIN NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM OR MAINTENANCE WAS REQUIRED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS, THEY TOLD ME THAT FOR THE ENGINE TO BE AS DAMAGE AS IT IS WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD HAVE COME ON. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A FEW MORE VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THE WARNINGS NEVER APPEARED ON THOSE VEHICLES AS WELL. *TR
