2015 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

IN ABOUT HALF OF THE DRIVES PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF SIGNAL COMES UP WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN FRONT, THIS HAPPENS FOR THE SAME PASSENGER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE WEIGHT LIMIT IS SET AROUND 120LBS WHICH SEEMS TO HIGH FOR SMALL ADULTS, FEMALES ESPECIALLY. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS WE ARE USING THE VEHICLE WITH PASENGER AIRBAG TURNED OFF HALF THE TIME.

NISSAN MURANO 2015 BOSE NAVIGATION SYSTEM - GPS ROUTING ERRORS CAN MISROUTE 200+ MILES OUT OF THE WAY FROM NORMAL ROUTES UNDER CERTAIN START AND DESTINATION ENTRIES. THIS COULD PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AT RISK IN SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTRY ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER. NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM CAN BE REPEATED IN OTHER 2015 MURANOS BUT STATED THEY HAVE NO TIMEFRAME FOR RESOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS.

POOR HOOD DESIGN NEAR THE WIPERS, THE INCLINATION OF THE HOOD NEAR THE WIPERS REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY ON TO THE DRIVER EYES AND THE INTENSITY IS SO HIGH THAT IT OBSTRUCTS VISION AND COULD LEAD TO FATAL FRONT COLLISION AND THE DRIVER MAY NOT ASSESS THE DISTANCE OF BRAKING BEFORE THE IMPACT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 12:30 PM AND 1:30 PM AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN DRIVING ON I76 TURNPIKE PHILLY TO PITTSBURGH WEST BOUND AROUND 3:30 PM TO 6:00 PM THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTION WAS CAUSING ME DISCOMFORT IN MY VISION. THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT ALL THE WAY TO THE LOWEST LEVEL AND I BEING 6 FT TALL WAS NOT A PROBLEM IN DRIVING AT THIS SEAT POSITIK . EVERY DRIVER HAS A COMFORT ZONE OF SEAT LEVEL AND UNFORTUNATELY MY SEATING POSITION FALLS WHERE THE REFLECTION CAUSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS TO FIND A WORKAROUND ON THIS ISSUE AND HAS TO CONSIDER IT VERY SERIOUSLY AND TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. *TR

WHEN ON A TEST DRIVE WITH THE NEW 2015 MURANO ON THE HIGHWAY, I ENCOUNTERED A SEMI INFRONT OF ME AND TO THE RIGHT OF ME; A TYPICAL EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE WITH MY 80 MILE DRIVE TO/FROM WORK. THIS IS THE POINT THAT SCARED ME-- IT FELT AS IF THE MURANO WAS BEING LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS FLOATING BACK AND FORTH, THE SALES PERSON STATED I JUST CAUGHT SOME DRAFT FROM THE SEMI'S. I STATED EVERYDAY TO/FROM WORK 80 MILES IN A SMALL 4 DOOR CAR AND ALSO A FULLSIZE CREWCAB TRUCK, THE VEHICLE VARIES ON DAYS. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS FEELING IN 32 YEARS OF DRIVING AND WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THE SITUATION I WAS GLAD THE ROAD WASN'T WET OR ICY MAKING ME WONDER IF I WOULD HAVE SPUN OUT. I REALLY WANTED THIS NEW MURANO BUT NOW I AM BACK TO SQUARE ONE ON THE VEHICLE SEARCH. I AM NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE NEW FRONTEND OR LIGHTER DESIGN OR NOT. I WANTED TO INFORM SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS SITUATION SO IT CAN BE LOOKED INTO. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOTHING AND TRIED TALKING ME INTO TAKING IT THEN AND THERE. OF COURSE IT TURNED INTO I HAVE OTHER CARS TO TEST NOW AND AS I WAS WALKING AWAY I JUST HEARD HYSTERICAL LAUGHING. GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A SERIOUS CUSTOMER. I AM SO HAPPY I DID A TEST DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY FIRST. "THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED." *TR
