NHTSA Complaint #10703779 — 2015 NISSAN MURANO

POOR HOOD DESIGN NEAR THE WIPERS, THE INCLINATION OF THE HOOD NEAR THE WIPERS REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY ON TO THE DRIVER EYES AND THE INTENSITY IS SO HIGH THAT IT OBSTRUCTS VISION AND COULD LEAD TO FATAL FRONT COLLISION AND THE DRIVER MAY NOT ASSESS THE DISTANCE OF BRAKING BEFORE THE IMPACT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 12:30 PM AND 1:30 PM AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN DRIVING ON I76 TURNPIKE PHILLY TO PITTSBURGH WEST BOUND AROUND 3:30 PM TO 6:00 PM THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTION WAS CAUSING ME DISCOMFORT IN MY VISION. THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT ALL THE WAY TO THE LOWEST LEVEL AND I BEING 6 FT TALL WAS NOT A PROBLEM IN DRIVING AT THIS SEAT POSITIK . EVERY DRIVER HAS A COMFORT ZONE OF SEAT LEVEL AND UNFORTUNATELY MY SEATING POSITION FALLS WHERE THE REFLECTION CAUSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS TO FIND A WORKAROUND ON THIS ISSUE AND HAS TO CONSIDER IT VERY SERIOUSLY AND TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. *TR
