Carrier/rack Problems of Nissan Murano

I have a 2014 Nissan Murano. I am the only owner of this 2014 Murano. It currently has about 75000 miles. Yesterday my sunroof glass shattered for no reason. I was driving back home with my daughter on the road, when I heard this horrible loud crack. The front sunroof essentially shattered in on itself and tiny pieces of glass everywhere. The sunroof looked like something had exploded from the inside out! Nissan corporate office refuses to pay the repairs! I have read that other people with Nissan Murano's have had the same experience.

My intake hose keeps coming off the resonator, like completely. My car will lose power immediately whether I'm driving on a hwy at 70 mph or stopped at a light. I lose power steering and its difficult for me to press down on the breaks. I'm very luck I was in the position to be able to pull off the hwy safely. I have to tighten the bracket tight enough to make it home. A lot of times I'm unable to tighten it good enough and it will come off again. Most recent incident happened on 3/2/2020 at a traffic light. This has been happening for the better part of a year and a half. Very scary to go through.

The rear sub frame on the driver's side of my 06 Nissan Murano awd is broken and it's cracked on the passenger side. When driving down the road you can feel the rear swaying back and forth. It's also caused my tires to flare out and wear on the inside edge of the tires.

While driving approximately 50 mph in good weather and light traffic our closed sun roof spontaneously exploded with intense force. When we got out to look at it, it was clear that it exploded from within as the edges of the hole (about 2 ft x 1. 5 ft) were pushing upward. All of the glass within that area blew out with no damage below it nor were there any remaining glass fragments below it even though what was left of the sunroof was completely full of small shatter lines. We've always maintained our vehicle and have rarely used the sunroof. Our extended warranty carrier refused to pay because it was glass. Our insurance company denied our claim because there was no evidence of an exterior impact. Nissan (corporate) refused to compensate us because they said there was no proof as to how it happened. After looking on the web, it appears that this is a known issue. The experience was very jarring as it sounded like something blew up just above our heads. We thought a plane dropped something from above or someone shot at our car but then realized nothing came into the car. Fortunately, we were not injured, did not veer into another car, and thank god it didn't happen near any pedestrians. We paid to have it fixed, but for all we know, it could happen again at any time.

Anti lock brake system keeps failing in motion driver window visor won't stay up in motion almost wrecked blocked view head gaskets over heating and cracking repeatedly in motion.

On a main road parked off of a highway, car battery and brake light started flickering, suddenly as I tried to pull onto main road and car randomly forcefully stopped as if went to neutral wouldn't accelerate in any gear. I had to roll the car back into a parking spot quick as possible as there was oncoming traffic. I then turned car off then on and more lights on the dash illuminated, abs, brake, battery, and trackion control as well. I turned the car off to then try restarting again and wouldn't do anything as, completely dead. Had to leave the car overnight parked til the following day for a tow since it never started back up. Waiting on what caused this problem, definitely unsafe, could have caused a accident due to going into a neutral like mode as driving onto a main road and near a highway.

The car was well maintained at the dealer where purchased new. Over 6 years there have been numerous problems. The 2 most serious and dangerous was the failure of the rack & pinion mechanism. I brought the car in for service and mentioned a noise thinking it is the power steering pump. The service manager said do not drive the car out of the repair shop as it was unsafe. The most recent event was the total failure of the radiator. It literally came apart and could have led to engine seizure. This was discovered as I pulled out of my garage and noticed a pool of coolant. There was no light or hot/cold indicator that the engine was running hot. I was towed to the dealer for another costly repair. There were other problems with the front end; tie rod, motor mount, cv boot, but these are the most serious and very dangerous. I have documentation for all these occurrences. The Murano is a true lemon.

The camera on the front of my vehicle had to be replaced because it was damaged by something off the road cracking the lenses and, as a result, causing my cruise control not to function properly as well. I could not use my driving safety controls that controlled distances between vehicles also. This was a poor design flaw and was not covered under my original warranty period of 3 year/36000 miles. We have had the issue(s) fixed but there is nothing to prevent it from happening again. We will probably not buy another Nissan product again even though this is our sixth consecutive purchase from Nissan.

While driving on a paved road, a loud explosion consumed the car. The closed sunroof/closed shade exploded sending shattered glass airborne and on top of the closed shade. This caused a horrible noise as the glass bounced on the shade as I slowly made my way back home and to the dealership! during the return route, you could hear the glass cracking as it broke free and flew off while driving at a slow speed.

At approximately 8:30 am on 12/18/17, I was driving on I-70 in denver, CO, going about 60 mph. Weather was a partly cloudy day, 45-50 degrees, road conditions were dry. As I was driving, I suddenly heard a loud pop or explosion, looked in rear view mirror and saw glass flying behind me, coming from my car. I slowed down immediately and exited the highly, pulling into a gas station to see what had happened. I exited the car and looked from the outside and the sunroof had completed shattered, leaving a huge hole. Fortunately, the inside shade was closed so all the glass blew out of the car and not into the interior. There were no other vehicles involved, nor was the police contacted. I had the sunroof replaced at safelite autoglass for a cost of $885. 03. After the repair, it was noted that the interior shade would not open completely and seemed to be off track and the manager at safelite suggested I take it to the dealer. Took the vehicle to anissan dealer, who charged $99. 95 just to look at and diagnose the problem with the shade. Diagnosis was the shattered glass had damaged the track and shade and both would need to be replaced at an estimated cost of $1600. 00 (more detailed diagnosis could be provided after removing the headliner). We declined this repair at this time. So far we have paid out-of-pocket for the repairs at a total of approximately $985. If we choose to repair the shade and track, total cost estimates would be $2,584.

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.

Driver's seat became wobbly and unstable without warning making driving quite difficult; dealership staff indicated seat track needed costly repair. Driver's side visor drops down unexpectedly while driving and will not stay put; cost to replace would be nearly $200. I thought these items lasted for the duration of the vehicle.

Transfer case went out on the vehicle. Started having oil leaks and a knocking sound. Later vehicle will not pull, difficulty shifting. Towed car to the shop and was told transfer case is cracked and needs replaced for $3,800. Was also told an oil seal needed to be replaced also. Read a lot of customer complaints about similar problem. A lot pointing to a defective part that is supposed to be covered under recall.

While driving on a flat, clear road, I heard a loud noise under hood, the car lost power and there weas smoke coming out from under the hood. I pulled over fortunately, there was a gas station. Car was towed and I was informed that my transfer case was cracked.

I have noticed on numerous occasions this summer, a crackling sound in lower portion of the front windshield. I actually remember hearing it last summer but it is now more audible. The warm weather must be a factor. I have also experienced problems with my keyless fob, it does not always work and my ignition an rear lift gate sometimes will operate even when the fob is within 3 feet. This has occurred several times over the past 2 months. I took it to Nissan and they could not find the problem. I purchased the car brand new in Aug. 2011. No accidents.

Exhaust manifold is cracked. Exhaust gases leak in through vent when ac is on and air is coming from outside. Extreme health hazard! up to two engine mounts are broken. Oil leaks from boot. Drivers seat bracket is broken. Electrical on the drivers seat fried.

While driving, the sunroof exploded leaving a round, upward protruding, glass hole larger than a basketball. Sunroof was closed on a mild 82 degree day driving down the highway. Fortunately, the sun shade was closed which blocked shattering glass from hitting us directly while operating at highway speeds. Nissan did acknowledge instances of this nature on other models. An internet search of forums revealed many, many occurrences. This was not an impact crack, break. It was literally an outward explosion!!.

While traveling approx 65 mph on the highway with no trucks or overpasses around my sunroof glass literally exploded! I thought I had a tire blowout until I heard wind coming from the roof and saw bright light from the sunshade crackes. When I opened the visor a crack you could see the glass had exploded upward. I had a large chunk of glass missing from the sunroof. I saw another complaint on nthsa for the same situation and I an very concerned about the safety of the glass. Thank you for you consideration! sara.

There was a structural failure of the anchor/bracket underneath the driver's seat. While I am driving, the seat rocks from side to side, and dips up and down. When I turn, the seat rocks a couple of inches down and then pops back as I come out of the turn. Also vehicle loses accelaration power when coming out of a complete stop.

We own a 2009 Nissan Murano sl bought new and the head gasket cracked leaking fluids and emitting a strong smell of coolant. We have had a few unpleasant repairs, new brakes at 30,000, new tires at 32,000 and now at only 57,000 miles cracked head gaskets. We have had all the recommend services performed. Had we waited we just would need to get use to the smell of coolant. It was covered under the warranty. Both the Nissan dealer and an independent shop confirmed the need to replace both head gaskets. The engine needs to be dropped in order to complete the repair. We have been waiting a week for the completion of the repairs. Many reports show that their Murano just was not the same after the head gasket issue and we don't want to have another failure and find out what will happen when it our Nissan turns 60,001. . . . Our concern is the number of Murano’s that this known defect affects. Nissan has yet to release this proprietary information.

Drivers seat rocks to the left. Was informed by jim mills Nissan that the seat track was bad, $716 to replace. Not covered under extended warranty. This was on Aug. 22, 2007. Filed a complaint with Nissan. Now were having problems with drivers side sunvisor falling down while your driving and passenger door lock not securing all the way. The lock mechanism will go part of the way and stop. All of the items above are safety issues that need to be addressed by Nissan. Yes, I purchased the extended warranty.

In 2013 I had to have my driver seat bracket welded due to it breaking. My airbag lights flash continously since about 2006 and I was told that it would be a few thousand dollars to replace the sensor, also my check engine light comes on and then goes off. When I took it in they said it could be several things from catalyic converter to an exhaust issue and that it would be trial and error to figure out which would remy the problem. Not to mention my driver side visor wont stay up and my alternator keeps draining my battery so I have to replace yearly. Someone please help.
