My car wouldn't start one morning. All lights lit up on dash, headlights continually started flashing and fan running under hood. I had to get to work so took a Lyft. I knew older son would be home from firestation around 830. When he got there battery completely dead. He jumped the car started right up. He drove to autozone to have battery checked (about 5 blocks). Battery was fine. He drove home. When I got home car started right up. I started it up again about 5 hours later. Went on my road trip I had planned about 2 hour drive. On Sunday I get in my car to leave and it does same thing it did Friday morning. I had to have car towed back to Nissan dealership in my hometown ( 700.00). Dealership had car for 3 days and came up with ABS module shorting to CAN unit. Only problem is the part is on backorder and Nissan can not even tell me when part will be in. This was almost 3 weeks ago. I have had no car for 3 weeks. I paid 555.00 for diagnostics and they want me to pay to order a part that isn't even available and was told Nissan has no idea when it will be. Why would I give them more money to order a part that is not even available. Is the part not available because this common problem? I do know there was recall on year before mine, 2018, and my car was manufactured 2/2019. My car is now in my driveway sitting, waiting to see if a part becomes available. But I feel this is an ongoing problem with Nissan.

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY VEHICLE CHIPS EXTREMELY EASILY AND QUITE POSSIBLY IS DEFECTIVE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY FOR THE BELIEF THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT HOLD UP AS INTENDED IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF SOMETHING LARGE WERE TO STRIKE IT. WHEN I AM IN MOTION, SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS AWAY, VERY TINY STONES TOSSED UP FROM SMALL VEHICLES AWAY ARE CREATING LARGE DIVOTS/CHIPS. IT APPEARS THE TYPE OF STREET - CITY OR HIGHWAY - DOES NOT MATTER; IT HAPPENS ON BOTH AT VARIED SPEEDS AND TEMPERATURE/WEATHER CONDITIONS. 5 CHIPS ON THE WINDSHIELD IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE STATISTICAL AVERAGE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME ROADS FOR 4 YEARS IN 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES, TWO OF WHICH WERE MURANOS (A 2018 AND 2019) AND ONLY THE RECENT MURANO (2019) HAS HAD ALL OF THESE CHIPS. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER NICKS THAT JUST DIDN'T BREAK MORE. *I HAVE HAD ALL THE CHIPS REPAIRED, BUT ANTICIPATING MORE IN THE FUTURE.

2019 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING A DESIGN DEFECT. AT THE END OF HOOD OF THE VEHICLE THERE'S A "LIP" CAUSES SUNLIGHT TO REFLECT OFF INTO VISION. *AS *JS

I am submitting this complaint regarding a manufacturing defect, specifically premature paint delamination of the exterior, factory-applied, Pearl White paint. The paint is lifting, bubbling, peeling and flaking exposing primer and metal. This damage did not result from impact, environmental exposure, improper maintenance, or misuse. The vehicle was inspected at a certified autobody repair facility and confirmed to be a factory defect. Nissan has declined to take responsibility for this defect despite the fact that this condition is a widely documented and recognized as mfg defect affecting Nissan vehicles across multiple model years. Images showing some of the damage are attached to this complaint.

On 05/17/2022 I was on my way to work driving about 68-70mph on the interstate, WA HWY 520. At around 0625 am I suddenly heard a loud boom-explosion, and then glass everywhere—the sunroof spontaneously exploded and I looked up and there was a bug hole in it. I swerved a bit and then pulled over on the left, but due to very little shoulder in the road I got back on the highway. I am a physician and really needed to get to work on time so I took the photo after I got there about 8 more miles.

Both headlight assemblies on my 2019 Nissan Murano have developed water intrusion inside the sealed LED headlight housing. The first headlight failed in March 2025 when moisture entered the assembly and caused the light to malfunction. The dealership diagnosed water intrusion into the sealed headlight assembly and advised that the entire unit must be replaced because the LED assembly is not serviceable. The repair estimate was approximately $2,400. The second headlight assembly has now developed the same issue, with visible moisture inside the housing. These headlights are sealed LED units with no replaceable bulbs. When moisture enters the assembly, the entire headlight must be replaced. This can lead to reduced nighttime visibility and potential headlight failure, which is a safety concern. The vehicle was purchased as a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan from a Nissan dealership, and I also purchased an additional extended “Gold” warranty at the time of sale through the dealership. Despite this, the headlight assembly failure was classified as “routine maintenance” and denied for coverage. Because these are sealed LED assemblies and not normal replaceable bulbs, water intrusion leading to failure does not appear to be routine maintenance. The fact that both headlights have developed moisture intrusion suggests a possible defect in the headlight housing seal. I am submitting this complaint so the issue of premature failure of sealed LED headlight assemblies due to water intrusion can be evaluated for potential safety concerns.

IM SEEING WATER IN MY LEFT HEAD LAMP . AND IM FINDING OUT THAT A LOT OFF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM .. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUSE AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THERE ISSUE . BECAUSE OF THE WATER ISSUEMY BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT

Regarding other, there is apparently an issue regarding the sunroofs in Nissan vehicles and severe leaking inside the car that causes issues regarding the flooring and possible electrical components. The second issue regarding the wheels is Nissan uses a term called "swollen lug nuts". They wanted to charge almost 1k to change the lugs and finally rotate my tires.

NAVIGATION ON CENTER CONSOLE ONCE YOU PROGRAM WHERE YOU ARE HEADED, THE TURN LIST APPEARS IN REVERSE ORDER (3RD ACTION APPEARS IN THE TOP POSITION, 2ND ACTION, THEN 1ST ACTION AT BOTTOM OF TURN LIST). SO TO SEE MY NEXT TURN, I HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD, AND COUNT DOWN TO THE 3RD ITEM FOR MY NEXT TURN - FAR TOO LONG TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD. AND IF YOU HAVE A CO-PILOT THAT READS THE DIRECTIONS TO YOU, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE TOP DIRECTION WHICH IS INCORRECT AS THIS IS THE 3RD ACTION THE DRIVER NEEDS TO TAKE. CONCERNED OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE AWARE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH FOR 2 MONTHS. DEALER JUST CONTACTED NISSAN HQ AND WAS ADVISED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON A 2019 MURANO MIGHT BE AVAILABLE AUG 2020! *TR

2019 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AUTO EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WARNINGLIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT, WAS UNABLE TO FIND A REPAIR. *JS

STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2020, MY 2019 MURANO HAS AN UNEXPLAINED CLUNKING/CLATTER NOISE WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT SOUNDS AS IF IT IS THE SWAY BAR BUSHINGS BUT THE DEALERS ARE NOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSING IT. THE TECHNICIANS TAKE A RIDE WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE AND CLEARLY HEAR AND ACKNOWLEDGE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. HOWEVER THEY PROCEED TO DRIVE ANOTHER USED VEHICLE AND DETERMINE IT IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL SUSPENSION NOISES WHEN IT WAS NEW AND ANY NEW ONE ALSO LACKS THE NOISE. ONE DEALER PROCEEDED TO SAY IT WAS BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING IS FUEL INJECTED. NOT ONLY IS THAT STATEMENT FALSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS HYDRAULIC. NISSAN HAS BEEN INFORMED BUT DOESN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, AND ALSO REFUSE TO REPURCHASE OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE. OTHERS ON THE ONLINE MURANO FORUMS SEE MY VIDEOS OF THE NOISE AND ALSO SAY THEY HAVE THAT ISSUE AND DEALERS PROVIDE THE SAME "NORMAL BEHAVIOR" REASONS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POTENTIAL MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. A VEHICLE WITH 20,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY SUSPENSION ISSUES WHEN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY. I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A SUSPENSION SHOP DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.
