THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO SUDDENLY JUST FLOPS DOWN FOR NO REASON WHILE IM DRIVING. A FEW TIMES IT HAS GOTTEN IN THE WAY OF MY DIRECT SIGHT AND HAS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE ALMOST GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I'VE REPLACED THE VISOR ONCE ALREADY MYSELF BUT THE NEW VISOR IS NOW FAILING AGAIN AND NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE ITS BEEN OUT OF WARRANTY FOR SOME TIME NOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS BEEN EXHIBITING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL THE RPMS INCREASE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, THEN AFTER TWO TO FIVE SECONDS THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED RAPIDLY. THIS PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE IN HOT WEATHER AND WHEN I AM IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, THE CAR DECELERATED QUICKLY AND RESISTED ACCELERATING...I HAD TO DRIVE HOME AT 15 MPH AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE THIS MORNING. *TR

NISSAN MURANO DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS INTO DRIVER'S LINE OF VISION WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPY ROADS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IMPEDES THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. IT HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY AND THE ONLY SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE REPLACING THE VISOR AT A COST OF $400+. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO THAT NOT RUNNING DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MT VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT NOISE, ACCELERATION ON THE GAS PEDAL OUT OF THE BLUE, SPEED DECREASING WHILE DRIVING ON HWY AT 70MPH, TO 10 OR LESS MPH. I'VE SPENT ABOUT $3000 ON A CALCULATOR CONVERSION AND EXHAUST SYSTEM, THAT I MIGHT NOT EVEN NEEDED. I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT HAS BEEN SERVICING MY TRUCK. THEY SAID MY TRANSMISSION WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN LAST YEAR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP P TECH CHOOSE TO WORD THE PROBLEMS A DIFFERENT WAY NOT TO REFLECT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. DEALERSHIP NOR NISSAN WANT TO ASSIST TO FIX MY TRUCK. I HAVE ABOUT 152,000K ON MY TRUCK NOW, BUT I HAD WAY LESS WHEN PROBLEMS BEGAN. I NEED ASSISTANCE TO GET TRUCK FIX, I'M SILL PAYING THE $9000. I OWE IN IT. NISSAN IS NOT STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE WHEN THEY KNEW THERE WERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THE MURANO TRUCK. I'M VERY UNHAPPY, DISCUSSED, SAD THAT I'M TRAPPED IN A TRUCK THAT'S NOT SAFE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T ALWAYS WORK PROPERLY ON MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO (HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR QUITE SOME TIME) -- IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE LOCKING/UNLOCKING, BUT THE LOCK DOESN'T ACTUALLY ENGAGE. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, AND IT ISN'T ALWAYS THE SAME DOOR. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THIS VEHICLE, AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN OPEN FOR DOOR FOR A BIGGER PROBLEM (CAR JACKING, ETC) -- YOU FEEL SAFE BECAUSE YOU "HEARD" THE DOORS LOCK, YET YOU CAN STILL OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE... I FEEL THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY WARRANT A RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP ANY MORE? IT STARTED FALLING DOWN IN 2007, BY 2009 I HAD TO REMOVE THE LIGHTED MIRROR TO DECREASE THE WEIGHT SO THAT THE VISOR WOULD NOT HAVE THE ADDED WEIGHT PULLING THE VISOR DOWN. I TRIED TO WRAP DUCK TAPE AROUND THE VISOR PLASTIC TAB BUT THE VISOR STILLS FALLS AFTER AWHILE. IT NOW JUST FALLS EVERY TIME I GO OUT FOR A DRIVE. NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND AUTO MAKER WILL NOT MAKE GOOD ON THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!! *TR

SEATS, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING
MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO AWD SE FRONT DRIVER SEAT BROKE . I TOOK IT OUT AND PAID TO HAVE A GUY WELD IT . OTHERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS A COMMON MURANO PROBLEM . SOME SUGGESTED THAT IT IS ALREADY A NISSAN RECALL ISSUE BUT I CAN'T GET ANY INFO TO PROVE IT . IT STILL FLOPS AROUND . ALSO THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING WENT AT 75K MILES BUT THAT'S ANOTHER PROBLEM . THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR SOMETIMES . IMAGINE JUMPING OUT OF THE CAR TO PUT MAIL IN THE BOX AND WHEN YOU COME BACK IT'S LOCKED ? DEALER SAID HE FIXED IT ... HE DIDN'T . THE TAIL GATE BACK DOOR LATCH STICKS . ALSO THE METAL RIM OF THE GASOLINE FILLER NECK GOT RUSTY AND PITTED . CONSEQUENTLY THE GAS CAP DIDN'T SEAL PROPERLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . THE DEALER WANTED 800 DOLLARS TO CHANGE THE FILLER NECK . I SANDED IT AND FIXED IT FOR NOTHING . *TR

WE PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED 2004 NISSAN MURANO IN MARCH 2006. WITHIN 6 MOS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED FALLING BY ITSELF, IMPAIRING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER UNEXPECTEDLY. THE PROBLEM WORSENED UNTIL IT JUST NOW HANGS PERMANENTLY STRAIGHT DOWN. IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY, WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH IT PERMANENTLY TO THE SIDE POSITION WHICH THEN BLOCKS OUR SIDE VISION. THERE IS NO WAY TO DRIVE THE MURANO WITHOUT VISION IMPAIRMENT OF SOME SORT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. WHEN DRIVING, IT WILL OCCASIONALLY AND RANDOMLY FALL INTO THE DOWN POSITION, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF OF DRIVING MY 04 MURANO. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS AT NIGHT AND I HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VISOR DROPPED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING AROUND A CURVE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND DISASTER WAS AVERTED. BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY UGLY INCIDENT. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE VISOR COMPONENTS YET, BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS FALL WITH ANY MINOR BUMP (OR EVEN WITHOUT ANY JARRING AT TIMES). NOT ONLY DOES IT STARTLE THE DRIVER WHEN IT HAPPENS (POSSIBLY LEADING TO ERRATIC DRIVING, BUT IT BLOCKS THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION CREATING A FURTHER SAFETY HAZARD. MANY TIMES SIMPLY RAISING THE VISOR UP DOES NOT WORK AND IT FALLS AGAIN LEAVING THE DRIVER TRYING TO HANDLE THE CAR SAFELY WITH ONE HAND WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING TO KEEP THE VISOR OUT OF HIS FIELD OF VISION. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUN VISORS FALL LOOSE AT THE SLIGHTEST VIBRATION. EVERY BUMP WE HIT SENDS THEM FALLING INTO MY PATH OF VISION. I HAVE 60K AND THEREFORE I AM OUT OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I FEAR THAT THE VISOR WILL FALL AT THE WRONG TIME, CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO TO HAVE NISSAN CORRECT THIS. *TR
