NHTSA Complaint #10968941 — 2016 NISSAN MURANO

UNDER CERTAIN LIGHTING CONDITIONS FROM THE SUN, A STRONG GLARE CAN APPEAR AND COME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND INTO THE DRIVER'S AND/OR PASSENGER'S EYESIGHT. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE DESIGN OF THE HOOD AND WHERE IT DIPS DOWN NEAR THE FRONT EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS ABOUT A 5" WIDE AREA THAT SPANS THE WITH OF THE HOOD, AROUND THE LOWER SECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE LIGHT CAN BE 'BLINDING' AT TIMES LIKE THE LIGHT REFLECTING OFF A MIRROR ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I HAVE DECIDED TO COAT THIS AREA OF THE HOOD WITH EITHER A MATTE FINISHED VINYL OR A MATTE FINISHED PLASTI-DIP SPRAY. I AM HOPING THIS WILL ALLEVIATE/ELIMINATE THE DANGERS OF THIS GLARE THAT CAN HAPPEN. ** TO NOTE, I HAVE READ OF OTHERS EXPRESSING THEIR CONCERNS WITH THIS ISSUE ON AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS SO I KNOW IT IS MORE COMMON THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT
