STRUCTURE:BODY
On 05/17/2022 I was on my way to work driving about 68-70mph on the interstate, WA HWY 520. At around 0625 am I suddenly heard a loud boom-explosion, and then glass everywhere—the sunroof spontaneously exploded and I looked up and there was a bug hole in it. I swerved a bit and then pulled over on the left, but due to very little shoulder in the road I got back on the highway. I am a physician and really needed to get to work on time so I took the photo after I got there about 8 more miles.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We were driving down the freeway and heard a very loud bang, it sounded like a massive balloon popping. Upon further review we noticed the panoramic sun roof had shattered. There was no sign of any objects hitting the sunroof. Upon further review we have found multiple other complaints online of others with this same problem. There were no warming signs prior to the loud popping. We have not reported it to Nissan or our insurance due to the late hour.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Purchased the Car 8/2019. 2/3 Times Per Year, and always in a parking garage, The Forward Collision Warning is Triggered for No Reason and the Car Slams on the Breaks Automatically. It's Dangerous and Jarring. Everytime It has happened there have been 0 Cars Around Me, and no reason for it to happen. This needs to be fixed.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
In September of 2019, I leased a new 2019 Nissan Murano Platinum from Missoula Nissan in Missoula, Montana. Not long after purchasing the new auto, I noticed that when driving down a hill, the cruise control released and the vehicle sped up as though free-wheeling. The engine brake (compression) did not activate nor did the transmission shift down. The hills I am referring to are gentle down-hills on straight-aways. They are not steep or windy. There is absolutely no danger in driving a speed limit of 70 mph on a two-lane highway going downhill as are many highways in Montana or doing the speed limit of 80 mph downhill on Interstate 15 through the State of Utah. What is dangerous and unsafe, however, is the speed of the vehicle increasing by 10 to 15 + mph within a short distance because the cruise control fails At that point it is necessary to ride the brakes, manually shift down or risk a speeding ticket or a serious accident. In the many vehicles we have owned, the cruise control operated to keep the vehicle at or near the set speed even while going downhill. When I posted the issue on CarGurus website nine other people complained of the same problems with new Nissans. This is truly dangerous to an unsuspecting driver. Because I winter in Arizona, I took the vehicle to Jim Click Nissan in Tucson and explained the problem. After a road test the shop foreman agreed the cruise control was acting as I had described and didn’t feel it was right. However, Nissan headquarters advised that the cruise control was supposed to operate that way. Once I returned to Helena, Montana, last spring, I took the car to Kenny Simpson Nissan. That service department also agreed that the cruise control was not operating correctly but again Nissan argued that it was supposed to operate that way. So two dealers reproduced and confirmed the problem but the manufacturer takes the position that it is supposed to operate in this extremely unsafe manner.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Purchased demo Murano in August 2019 with 4500 miles. Took it back to dealership in January 2021 after the orange forward emergency braking warning light appeared on dash. They said it was not covered under warranty. September 2021 at 18000 miles the waring light and the 'Malfunction warning' text both displayed without driver input. Normal driving condition and no vehicle in front of me to hint potential collision so there is no reason to alert driver.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When I leave the parking structure at my office, my front emergency brake gets triggered. Today was the third time this happened. From my research, there are several class action lawsuits. We leased the car in 10/2019, but purchased it around 01/2021. 1)The first time it happened it, the brake pedal automatically released from under my foot, slammed on the brake and came to a screeching stop. I was not going down, but on a level wrapping around. I was driving less than 10 mph in the structure. Thankfully, no one was around me. If someone was behind, they would have definitely hit me. 2) Second was a few weeks ago. Again, same parking structure, but going down. No one was around. The car beeped a few times and saying it triggered the "driving aids" and car quickly braked automatically and screeched, but not like the first time. 3) Third time today. It didn't even beep and screeched. Again, same parking structure going down. It screeched and jerked the brake, but not as forcefully as the first time. Each time, I have pulled over and shut off this "feature." However, the feature is set to be automatically "on" and have to manually shut it off at each time the car is restarted.

SUSPENSION
STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2020, MY 2019 MURANO HAS AN UNEXPLAINED CLUNKING/CLATTER NOISE WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT SOUNDS AS IF IT IS THE SWAY BAR BUSHINGS BUT THE DEALERS ARE NOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSING IT. THE TECHNICIANS TAKE A RIDE WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE AND CLEARLY HEAR AND ACKNOWLEDGE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. HOWEVER THEY PROCEED TO DRIVE ANOTHER USED VEHICLE AND DETERMINE IT IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL SUSPENSION NOISES WHEN IT WAS NEW AND ANY NEW ONE ALSO LACKS THE NOISE. ONE DEALER PROCEEDED TO SAY IT WAS BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING IS FUEL INJECTED. NOT ONLY IS THAT STATEMENT FALSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS HYDRAULIC. NISSAN HAS BEEN INFORMED BUT DOESN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, AND ALSO REFUSE TO REPURCHASE OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE. OTHERS ON THE ONLINE MURANO FORUMS SEE MY VIDEOS OF THE NOISE AND ALSO SAY THEY HAVE THAT ISSUE AND DEALERS PROVIDE THE SAME "NORMAL BEHAVIOR" REASONS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POTENTIAL MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. A VEHICLE WITH 20,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY SUSPENSION ISSUES WHEN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY. I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A SUSPENSION SHOP DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
ON MULTIPLE TIMES, IN CLEAR WEATHER WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, DRIVING AT 40 MPH THE AEB WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER RECALIBRATED THE SYSTEM, AND ON THE SECOND TIME IN FOR REPAIR, THE DEALER SAID NO CODES WERE INPUT INTO THE ON BOARD COMPUTER, SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE DESPITE MY CELL PHONE VIDEO SHOWING THE INCIDENTS OCCURRING.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THE AEB WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN RANDOMLY GOING OFF ON THE DASH WHILE I'M DRIVING, AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE AEB AND FRONT END/REAR END CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS ARE WORKING OR ARE NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALER, MICHAEL JORDAN NISSAN IN DURHAM, NC, ON MONDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2020, TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THE AEB INDICATOR LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I DROVE IN. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT ASCERTAIN IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG OR NOT, OR WHY THE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND GOING OFF, OR PROVIDE ME WITH OPTIONS. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO GO TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, THE AEB WARNING LIGHT WENT ON--I COULD NOT RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I HAD BEEN FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS, BECAUSE OF MY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AS I NEVER KNOW IF THE AEB SYSTEM IS OR IS NOT WORKING.

THE NISSAN MURANO HAS A FOOT ACTIVATED MOTION SENSOR THAT TRIGGERS THE REAR HATCH. WITH THE HATCH IN THE UP POSITION I HAVE SAT ON THE REAR AREA TO CHANGE SHOES. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE HATCH HAS LOWERED WITHOUT ME TRIGGERING IT. I BELIEVE, IF ONE SITS ON THE REAR AREA AND MOVES EITHER LEG BACK AND FORTH THE SENSOR IS TRIGGERED. I HAVE NOTED THESE CONCERNS WITH CORPORATE NISSAN AND THEY IN TURN SUGGESTED I GO TO A NISSAN DEALER AND DETERMINE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM. THE DEALER INDICATED THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT.

NAVIGATION ON CENTER CONSOLE ONCE YOU PROGRAM WHERE YOU ARE HEADED, THE TURN LIST APPEARS IN REVERSE ORDER (3RD ACTION APPEARS IN THE TOP POSITION, 2ND ACTION, THEN 1ST ACTION AT BOTTOM OF TURN LIST). SO TO SEE MY NEXT TURN, I HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD, AND COUNT DOWN TO THE 3RD ITEM FOR MY NEXT TURN - FAR TOO LONG TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD. AND IF YOU HAVE A CO-PILOT THAT READS THE DIRECTIONS TO YOU, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE TOP DIRECTION WHICH IS INCORRECT AS THIS IS THE 3RD ACTION THE DRIVER NEEDS TO TAKE. CONCERNED OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE AWARE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH FOR 2 MONTHS. DEALER JUST CONTACTED NISSAN HQ AND WAS ADVISED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON A 2019 MURANO MIGHT BE AVAILABLE AUG 2020! *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD ON MY VEHICLE CHIPS EXTREMELY EASILY AND QUITE POSSIBLY IS DEFECTIVE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY FOR THE BELIEF THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT HOLD UP AS INTENDED IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF SOMETHING LARGE WERE TO STRIKE IT. WHEN I AM IN MOTION, SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS AWAY, VERY TINY STONES TOSSED UP FROM SMALL VEHICLES AWAY ARE CREATING LARGE DIVOTS/CHIPS. IT APPEARS THE TYPE OF STREET - CITY OR HIGHWAY - DOES NOT MATTER; IT HAPPENS ON BOTH AT VARIED SPEEDS AND TEMPERATURE/WEATHER CONDITIONS. 5 CHIPS ON THE WINDSHIELD IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE STATISTICAL AVERAGE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME ROADS FOR 4 YEARS IN 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES, TWO OF WHICH WERE MURANOS (A 2018 AND 2019) AND ONLY THE RECENT MURANO (2019) HAS HAD ALL OF THESE CHIPS. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER NICKS THAT JUST DIDN'T BREAK MORE. *I HAVE HAD ALL THE CHIPS REPAIRED, BUT ANTICIPATING MORE IN THE FUTURE.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN I HEARD A POPPING NOISE THEN GLASS HITTING THE SUNROOF SHADE ABOVE MY HEAD. I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY SUNROOF, BUT I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING HIT IT LIKE A ROCK; JUST A POPPING NOISE. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND PARKED MY CAR AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE HOLE THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL IN MY SUNROOF. IF I HADN'T OF HAD THE SHADE CLOSED THERE WOULD BE GLASS ALL OVER INSIDE MY CAR AND ON MY PERSON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER I GOT THE RUN AROUND FROM A FEW FOLKS I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE THAT TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR IN SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. AFTER SEEING IT SHE TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD A FEW VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SHE SAID IT MAY BE A FACTORY DEFAULT IN THE GLASS. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE FULLY COVERED AND IT WOULD BE REPLACED IN ABOUT A WEEK. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF SIMILAR CASES AND NOT JUST WITH NISSAN. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS ARE USING TEMPERED GLASS WHICH IS WHAT MINE HAS. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL. I AM TURNING THIS ISSUE IN SO THAT IT MIGHT HELP IN REQUIRING THESE MANUFACTURERS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A POSSIBILITY I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE REPLACEMENT SUNROOF GLASS WILL BE THE SAME AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE PURCHASED OUR 2019 NISSAN MURANO ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 AND SOON NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING DOWN EVEN A GENTLE DOWN-SLOPE WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT, THE CRUISE CONTROL GAINS 10-15+ MPH. NISSAN ENGINEERING SAYS THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" AND NOT TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS. WE HAVE OWNED MANY CARS WITH CRUISE CONTROL, AND NONE HAS EVER GAINED MORE THAN 4-5 MPH ON SIMILAR DOWN-SLOPES. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. FOR EXAMPLE, APPARENTLY AUDI, MERCEDES BENZ AND SUBARU ALL HAVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT LIMIT SPEED INCREASE DOWNGRADE TO ABOUT 2 MPH. IT SEEMS THAT AN ALMOST $50,000 CAR FROM NISSAN SHOULD BE AS SAFE.
