VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CANNOT BE RAISED TO WIPE OFF ACCUMULATING SNOW AND ICE WITHOUT OPENING THE HOOD. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT, ON HIGHWAYS DURING A SNOW STORM, A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
2003 NISSAN MURANO SE 4WD HAS SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRSTLY THE RIGHT SIDE SUN VISOR CLIP IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL NOT HOLD VISOR IN PLACE: 3 TRIPS TO DEALER HAVE NOT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE AS THEY NEVER HAVE THE PART. SECONDLY THE CVT TRANSMISSION PRESENTS A PROBLEM ON HOLDING THE VEHICLE IN PLACE ON A UPHILL INCLINE...IF YOU DON'T BRAKE, THE VEHICLE JUST ROLLS BACK, AS OPPOSED TO STANDARD AUTO TRANSMISSION WHICH LOCKS, AND PREVENTS SIGNIFICANT ROLLBACK. *CB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE BOUGHT A NEW 2004 MURANO END OF OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR - SINCE THEN NOTHING BUT MAJOR PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT 60-65 - 5 TIMES THE CAR HAS SEEMED TO COME OUT OF GEAR AND SLOWING US TO A SLOW PACE THEN NO PACE OR POWER - FORTUNATELY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. WE PULL CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND NO PROBLEMS AT LEAST FOR AWHILE. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL COME OUT OF GEAR OR DOWNSHIFT WITHIN SEONDS LEAVING US WITH NO POWER - NEEDLESS TO SAY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIND PROBLEM - EVEN CHANGING THE TCM -(TANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - WHATEVER THAT IS) THEY SAY UNTIL THEY CAN CAPTURE THE CODES - WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRS - THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. ASIDE FROM THIS SERIOUS FLAW - WE LOVE OUR MURANO - WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. WE'LL DROP IT OFF AGAIN TO THE DEALER TOMOOW FOR THE 5TH TIME - I FEEL THEY WILL BE OF LITTLE HELP - ALTHOUGH THEY ARE TRYING. I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE WILL TURN NEXT WITH THIS PROBLEM - I GUESS I COULD PURSUE LEMON LAW BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO - I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED AND SAFE! I WANTED TO ALERT OTHERS IN CASE THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS TO OTHER MURANO'S AS WELL. WE HAVE 2,000 MILES ON OUR MURANO AND SACRIFICED GREATLY TO PURCHASE IT - WHAT A MAJOR DISSAPPOINTMENT. WE ARE LIFE-LONG NISSAN DRIVERS AND WE ARE GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE EMPLOYEES AT OUR DEALERSHIP. TIM.*AK

SEATS
DRIVER'S SEAT HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE TRACK. WHEN YOU STOP THE SEAT MOVES FORWARD AND WHEN YOU START TO DRIVE IT MOVES BACK. IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE. HAS GOTTEN WORSE, I NOW HAVE 11000 MILES ON IT. AFRAID THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE FORCE WOULD FORCE IT TO BREAK. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
LOCKED OUT OF VEHICLE 5 TIMES WITH KEY IN IGNITION, 2 TIMES WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. DRIVER DOOR APPEARS TO LOCK SLIGHTLY WHEN PULLING DOOR HANDLE. I BELIEVE THE "PUSH-IN LOCK ABOVE THE DOOR RELEASE DOES NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY OR THE DRIVER'S HANDLE CAN EASILY PUSH IT PARTIALLY CLOSED ACCIDENTALLY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
3 TIMES MY MURANO HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL 3 TIMES IT HAS TO BE TOWED (OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD APPROX. 4K MILES NOW, STARTED AT JUST OVER UNDER 3K). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, THE ENGINE WOULD AT LEAST TURN, BUT NOT START. THE LAST TIME IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN. IT SEEMS TO BE TEMPORARY BECAUSE WHEN THE DEALER LOOSK AT THE NEXT DAY, IT STARTS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.
