LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
YESTERDAY AFTER WORK, I OPENED THE HATCH TO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE TO REMOVE JUMPER CABLES. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE HATCH DOOR, IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. I LOOKED CLOSER AT THE MECHANISM THAT LOCKS THE DOOR IN THE CLOSED POSITION, AND IT WAS NOT MOVING BACK INTO THE PROPER POSITION. I THOUGHT INITIALLY IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER, BUT EVEN AFTER IT WAS GIVEN TIME TO HEAT UP IT CONTINUED TO STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION. I MADE DUE BY DUCT TAPING THE HATCH CLOSED TO MAKE IT HOME. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR LOCK ACTUATORS ON DOORS, HATCHES AND EVEN THE GAS COVER ACTUATOR. IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING TO ME DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO CONKED OUT WHILE MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY CHICAGO INTERSECTION. THE CVT WAS THE CULPRIT. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/100K WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. AFTER 2 TOWS AND MORE THAN A WEEK AT THE DEALER, I RECEIVED A BILL FOR OVER 4K. NISSAN KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM FROM THE GET GO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY OF BEING PREPARED FOR THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. CONSUMERS SHOULD BE PROTECTED. *LN *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND FALLS WHEN DRIVING. IT IS NOT USABLE BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY STAY IN A STRAIGHT DOWN POSITION WHICH BLOCKS YOUR VIEW AS YOU DRIVE. CURRENTLY THIS IS VISOR IS BEING HELD UP WITH VELCRO TO PREVENT IT FROM FALLING DOWN AND BLOCKING VISION WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU USE THE VISOR, YOU NEED TO HOLD IT BACK TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVING BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH AND TRY TO ACCELERATE TO 65 AND THE ENGINE IS STRUGGLING TO GET UP TO SPEED. I ALSO PARKED IN A PARKING STALL AND COULD NOT GET IT INTO PARK IT WAS STUCK BETWEEN DRIVE AND NEUTRAL. I HAD TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT INTO PARK. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO PARK. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION FOR A 2004 MURANO. ALL THE REVIEWS SHOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS YEAR I NOW HAVE TO PAY OVER $3000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IS THIS GOING TO BE PROBLEMS WITH MY NEW TRANSMISSION? *TR
