I called Nissan today to register my complaint. They have not gotten back to me yet. They requested my VIN and proof of ownership, and took my complaint, and will have someone call me. They asked me if I had taken the car to a mechanic. I have not, as the headlights are functioning mechanically correctly (not dim, no bulbs out, etc. ) however, there is a serious design flaw that decreases visibility and makes driving at night dangerous. The low beam headlights only shine about 30 feet ahead of the vehicle. There is a sharp delineated black shadow after that (no diffuse light). If you are on a flat grade, the problem is not as noticeable. However, as you go up a hill or even a small grade, or down a hill, or make a corner, the low beams shine brightly for 30 feet in front of the car, and then there is an area of total blackness in front of that. It's not the kind of light that slowly diffuses, and then gets dark, it is a sharp cut-off, of total lack of visibility. If you're traveling even 30 miles an hour, that is not enough visual distance to be driving safely. I have also called a Nissan service center and they said that they "had heard of the problem", and I could try adjusting my headlights in an upward direction. So my husband turned them up about 4-6 inches (we were shining the headlights on the siding on our house, for a reference line). This caused the distance that the headlights would shine to become around 50 feet. Still not acceptable for driving safely. This is dangerous, and I hope there is a fix for this problem. My guess is that I will probably be sent to a Nissan dealer, who will say there is nothing wrong, and then my next guess is Nissan will say since there is no problem to fix, that the equipment if fine, and they won't do anything. I'm probably going to have to sell this car at a loss. I'm very upset with this situation.

My headlights does not shine straight ahead. They shine more to the sides and downward, making it hard to see on the highway when it there are no lighting. When I took it in for service the technician said it was the lenses. I had them cleaned and they still do not shine straight. I believe there is a malfunction the headlights. Therefore, it makes it hard to drive at night without the proper lighting.

This car has an electrical problem. The dash board lighted components flicker back and forth from dim to bright when the headlights are turned on. The headlights when turning on go from really dim to normal when turning on. I have noticed this at night while driving. When going to buckle my son in his car seat the seat belts thin the rear lock and do not release. Unless all the slack it it is returned to normal. Which sometimes takes 3 to 4 times to be able to buckle him into his seat without the seat belt locking.

I have a problem with the low beam headlights. I was driving down a back road ( no street lights) when I noticed that my low beam headlights only illuminated about 50 or 60 feet in front of the vehicle. It appears that after the 50 or 60 feet my headlights are blacked out like a screen is in front of the headlights. This almost caused me to miss a turn and run off the road. The issue is that when on unlit streets at night you will only see what is directly in front of your car. Any speed at all will cause you to overdrive your headlights. I called Nissan and lodged a complaint and laurie said since it's by design they have nothing to with it anymore. This is a dangerous situation for people driving the rural backroads of America.
2017 nisson Murano. I picked up this car to assist my son shuttling cars, at night, I started the car and the halogen headlights came on automatically leading me to believe the car had automatic lights. In fact, only the front halogen lights were on but no running lights on the side or rear. I only discovered the situation after driving several miles, with drivers behind me occasionally flashing their lights to signal me. This equipment behavior is very deceiving and dangerous.

At about 60,000 miles on this car the headlight covers turned white, very low visibility. I avoided driving at night. Nissan would not replace. The replacement parts was over $600. 00 crazy! not impressed by this $30,000 car.

Headlight lamp case leaks causing water to seep in and cause potential shortage of lamps. This can be serious when driving at night.
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.

When you activate the high beams by pressing the lights stalk toward the dash, the switch for turning the lights on and off move and your headlights go out. It has happened to myself and my wife 20 times in the past year and we have almost had accidents because we can not see nor can oncoming cars see us. It is a design flaw in that the headlight switch moves too easily.
