2017 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A TRIP. THE FRONT RADAR, USED FOR COLLISION MITIGATION/INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL, SHUTS OFF AND REPORTS OBSTRUCTION FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS RENDERS THE SAFETY SYSTEMS USELESS.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 - 20 MPH ON A CITY STREET, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS A 3 BEEP WARNING THEN THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE DEALER, CENTRAL AVENUE NISSAN IN YONKERS, NY. CHECKED THE SYSTEM AND RECEIVED CODE C1B55 (ELSEWHERE IN THE REPORT CITED, C1355), RADAR BLOCKAGE, (STORED PAST CODE). THE TECHNICIAN ATTRIBUTED THIS TO "SIDE RADAR BLOCKAGE" THEY CHECKED THE AREA OF THE SENSOR AND FOUND NO DEBRIS. NISSAN SERVICE WAS NOT CLEAR WHY A FALSE SIDE RADAR BLOCKAGE WARNING SHOULD TRIGGER ABRUPT BRAKING. ALSO, THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY FIX ANY PROBLEM. THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED AND CONTAINS SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS NOT GENERALLY SHOWN TO THE CUSTOMER.

WITHIN WARRANTY TIME FRAME OF VEHICLE - SEATBELT FABRIC ROLLS INSIDE OF MALE SLIDING END MECHANISM ON DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEATBELT WHEN PULLED FROM THE LEFT OVER TO THE RIGHT AND INTO THE FEMALE END. RESULTING IN INSUFFICIENT TIGHTNESS ACROSS LAP, AND "STUCK" FABRIC THAT NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY UNFOLDED AND "UNSTUCK" FROM WITHIN THE MALE END SLIDING BELT MECHANISM. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY TO MULTIPLE DRIVERS. DOES NOT OCCUR IN PASSENGER SIDE OR REAR SEATBELTS. HAPPENS WHEN PUTTING SEAT BELT ON BEFORE DRIVING. HAVE HAD IT REPLACED, AND CHECKED THREE TIMES AT DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. BUT IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR DAILY. MAY BE DEFECTIVE FABRIC OR RETRACTABLE MECHANISM?

DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN LOUD SHOTGUN BLAST SOUND ABOVE RESULTING FROM THE SUNROOF EXPLODING. NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT TO SAY A ROCK HIT IT NOR ANYTHING ABOVE LIKE AN OVERPASS TO DROP SOMETHING FROM.

DRIVING DOWN AN OPEN PAVED COUNTY ROAD, DRIVING STRAIGHT AT AROUND 60 MPG. NO CARS IN SIGHT, NO TREES OR BUILDING NEAR THE ROAD AND WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE LOOKED AROUND AND COULDN'T TELL WHAT HAPPENED. I LOOKED UP AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE MOONROOF THEN GLASS STARTED FALLING. MY KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT HAD MORE GLASS THAN THE FRONT. THE GLASS THAT WAS REMAINING WAS CURVED UP WHICH SEAMED STRANGE BECAUSE NO ONE TOUCHED THE ROOF. WE HAVE A PANORAMIC MOONROOF BUT IT WAS ONLY THE MOVABLE PIECE EXPLODED. ROOF AND WINDOWS WERE CLOSED, IT WAS 85 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND WE HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. I CALLED NISSAN AND OPENED AN INCIDENT AND THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY STATING GLASS ISN'T COVERED AND SINCE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE SHOWING IT EXPLODED AND WASN'T HIT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE. I HAVE FULL COVERAGE GLASS INSURANCE SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY EITHER WAY IT IS THE POINT THAT THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND AFTER LOOKING AT ALL OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THESE GLASS ROOFS IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CAR MANUFACTURER.

ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP CAN LEAK BREAK FLUID ONTO CIRCUIT BOARD CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND CAUSE A FIRE RISK. NISSAN RECOMMENDS PARKING VEHICLES (IN MY CASE A MURANO PLATINUM 2017) OUTSIDE. IF DRIVERS SEE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING FOR MORE THAN 10 SEC AFTER ENGINE START, DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. PROBLEM- MY CAR VIN DID NOT COME UP ON THE RECALL SO I NEVER RECEIVED THE WARNING. I EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE UNDER HOOD (PASSENGER SIDE) WHEN CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE. WE HAPPEN TO BE HOME AND SMELL SMOKE. CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO URGE THE RECALL BE ISSUED AGAIN.

INTERMITTENT 'FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION' WARNING LIGHT AND IMMEDIATE DISABLING OF THE PREDICTIVE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING AND CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY FOR THE RAPID DECELERATION THAT CAN OCCUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL.

THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILS - IT IS TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAY'S THE FRONT RADAR SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENS ARBITRARILY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING REGARDLESS OF DAY OR NIGHT OR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE SYSTEM WILL BE OPERABLE AGAIN IN 10 OR 15 MINUTES. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN. THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE RESEARCHING THE CAUSE. HOWEVER NISSAN DIDN'T ALERT ME TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE NISSAN IS REALLY WORKING ON A SOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE RADAR SYSTEM STOPS THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND THE CAR BEGINS TO DECELLERATE. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THIS MAY STARTLE OR CONFUSE THE DRIVER AND LEAD TO PANIC OR ABRUPT MANUVERS.

WHEN MAKING SHARP TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT) INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND DRIVING STRAIGHT AFTER THE TURN, WHILE PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARD, THE RPM WILL GO UP HIGH BUT THE SPEED WILL NOT (IT WILL INCREASE VERY SLOWLY). THE RPM WOULD STAY HIGH (5000 TO 6000) THERE WILL BE LOTS OF NOISE FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN BUT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO LOWER THE RPM. IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CVT WORK PROPERLY AFTER THAT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS TO BE FULLY RELEASED AND THE RPM WILL HAVE TO GO DOWN. I CAN REPLICATE THIS CONDITION MOST OF THE TIME (IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD ENOUGH WHILE TURNING), AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. AT THE DEALERSHIP GARAGE I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE IS NO FAULT CODE THEY CAN'T HELP AND REFUSED TO TAKE A RIDE IN THE CAR.

C/S FORWARD COLLISION WARNING KEEPS PERIODICALLY COMING ON WITH NO OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. WHEN WARNING OCCURS IT SHUTS OF THE CURSIE CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
