MY 2010 MURANO SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A LOOSE DRIVER'S INTERIOR SUN VISOR THAT HAS BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION AND WILL DROP DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE IT BLOCKS MY VIEW OUT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. FROM DISCUSSIONS AT VARIOUS NISSAN ONLINE SITES, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM FOR ONE OR BOTH VISORS. SOMETHING INSIDE THE VISOR ITSELF BREAKS AND THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY WHERE ONE SETS IT. I HAVE HAD MINE SUDDENLY FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING OR ESPECIALLY GOING OVER A BUMP, ROAD VIBRATIONS OR SMALL POTHOLE ETC. AND IT WILL NOT STAY UP, SO SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME IS BLOCKED. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE SUNROOF ABOVE THE DRIVER EXPLODED SENDING SHARDS OF GLASS ABOUT THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND ALSO UP INTO THE AIR. NOTHING STRUCK THE CAR AND THE BREAKAGE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD EXPLOSION TYPE SOUND.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED & FALLING APART. IF YOU TOUCH IT ITS STICKY & PIECES START TO FALL OFF OF IT. MY FRIENDS TOYOTA CAMRY WAS OLDER THAN MINE & THEY REPLACED HER ENTIRE DASHBOARD FOR FREE. IN ADDITION THE NUMBERS ON MY RADIO HAVE FADED & ALL AROUND THE RADIO THE SILVER PART IS PEELING. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER ONLY 5 YEARS OF OWING MY CAR THINGS LIKE THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. THE DASHBOARD TO ME IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WHEN MY HUSBAND PULLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE HANDLE CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. THE REPAIR COST $297.50 ( QUOTED PRICE WAS $350 AND WE HAD A 15% DISCOUNT COUPON) INTERESTINGLY THEY HAD THE HANDLE IN STOCK. ATTACHED PICTURE OF HANDLE SHOWS A HALLOW AREA THAT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE PART.

THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE MURANOS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. FROM READING MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T LOCK AND OTHER TIMES IT WON'T UNLOCK. IT DOESN'T WORK WITH EITHER THE KEYFOB OR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR DOOR. SOMEONE COULD OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR OR NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK IT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. NISSAN WANTS SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON DEFECT ON THEIR END. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX IT.

SOMETIMES THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. NORMALLY AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION THE DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AND YOU CAN PULL THE INSIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE COMPLAINT CONCERNS THOSE TIMES WHEN THE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT DISENGAGE AND YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. EVEN WHEN MANUALLY MOVING THE LOCKING LEVER INSIDE THE DOOR OR TRYING TO USE THE REMOTE ENTRY FOB THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN IS BY LOWERING THE WINDOW AND PULLING THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. IT'S BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE OUTSIDE HANDLE NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY AFTER GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING AWAY THERE WILL BE A THUD IN THE DOOR AND I BELIEVE IT IS THE OUTSIDE HANDLE FLOPPING IN TO THE CLOSED POSITION. THE OUTSIDE HANDLE ALSO SEEMS TO BE SEPARATING SO THAT AN SECTION CLOSEST TO THE CAR IS NOT FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE REST OF THE HANDLE, BUT IF YOU HOLD PRESSURE AND FORCE THE TWO SECTIONS TO STAY TOGETHER THEN THERE IS NO THUD LATER. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR WON'T OPEN.
