FRONT HEADLAMP FAILED WHEN CAR WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD. TO REPLACE THE LAMP WAS $279.00. THE LEXUS, WHICH WAS JUST A NISSAN MURANO,HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LAMPS BURNING OUT ,AND THEY WERE ALL REPLACED BY THE COMPANY UNDER A RECALL. NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM, BUT MOST MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. AS I CHECKED WITH 10 OF THEM IN MY AREA THEY ALL SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING. *AK

TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COMPLETELY STOP WORKING UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ICE WENT DOWN BELOW THE HOOD, AND IT STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM WORKING. THE ICE PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN COME BACK UP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MUST BE ABLE TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK PROPERLY. SHE WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED, BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IN A STORM. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SHE SHOULD LIFT THE HOOD AND CLEAN THE AREA WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE IN ANOTHER STORM, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AGAIN. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CONTACT WAS IN A BAD STORM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE BOTH 4600 .*AK UPDATE *4/23/07 *TR

PROBLEM (CONTINUING TO) FILL-UP WITH FUEL WHEN USING GAS PUMPS WITH VAPOR RECOVERY: FOR THE MOST PART, THE PUMP TRIGGER SHOULD NOT BE OPENED TO MAXIMUM OTHERWISE WILL TRIGGER A SHUT-OFF; HOWEVER, IF A SLIGHT JERK BACK OF THE PUMP OCCURS, WILL TRIGGER A STOP AND CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE FILL-UP EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING TOPPED OFF. RESEARCHING THE WEB HAD REVEALED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY LATER-MODEL VEHICLES. *NM
