The backup camera only works at night and even then it is grainy. During the day I can only see a green screen with the yellow and red guidelines. But not what is actually behind my vehicle. This is very dangerous and makes backing this 2009 Nissan Murano SUV difficult. It's a large vehicle with blind spots. The main reason I bought the car was because it has a backup camera installed. I have seen blogs with same complaint. Nissan offers no help or solution. Have been told I would have to buy a whole new camera and dash navigation screen. Very expensive.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN SECURE AND WOULD FALL DOWN. THE FAILURE HINDERED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALL NISSAN IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VISOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.
AS I WAS DRIVING INTO THE PARKING DECK IN CHARLOTTE AND THE SUNROOF ON MY 2009 MURANO EXPLODED. I AM SURE IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANY ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT BECAUSE I WAS PARKING. LUCKILY, MY FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND WIFE WERE NOT WITH ME BECAUSE THIS SCARED ME. THE GLASS CRACKED ALL THE WAY AROUND AND I WAS NOT SHOWERED WITH GLASS AS THE SUNSCREEN WAS CLOSED. IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD HAVE WRECKED NOT KNOWING WHAT THIS WAS OR COMING FROM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT IN THE PARKING DECK AND TAKE PICTURES. AS I DROVE BACK TO COLUMBIA, SC, MOST OF THE LOOSE GLASS BLEW OFF LEAVING A LARGE HOLE ON THE TOP AND OTHER DRIVERS WERE STARTLED WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE I HAVE KEPT MY CAR UP TO DATE...
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE SUNROOF ON THE 2009 MURANO EXPLODED. I DO NOT BELIEVE WE WERE HIT WITH A ROCK OR ANY OTHER OBJECT. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT SHOWERED WITH GLASS AS THE SUNSCREEN WAS UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SUDDEN NOISE ALMOST MADE ME HIT A CAR BESIDE ME. THERE WAS NO INDICATION AS TO WHAT HAPPENED JUST THE EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND FIGURE IT OUT. BUT I DID SEE OTHER CARS ALSO BECOME STARTLED. IN MN WE EXPERIENCE EXTREME WEATHER TEMPS AND NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT WEAKEN THE INTEGRITY OF OUR VEHICLES. IF THIS HAS BEEN THE PAST WINTER I COULD HAVE HAD MY YOUNG GIRLS IN THE CAR WITH -50 DEGREE TEMPS TRYING TO DRIVE ANOTHER 20MN HOME. I SEE NOW THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE A BIT...
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING OUR 2009 NISSAN MURANO IN SEPT 2012 A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AT TIMES IN THE FLOOR BOARD...IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT...THIS WAS REPLACED UNDER 30 DAY WARRANTY FROM PLACE OF PURCHASE. THE SUNROOF COVER ALSO WAS DEFECTIVE AS IT WOULD NOT OPEN COMPLETELY AT TIMES AND ALSO REQUIRED REPLACING. SINCE THIS TIME IN 2013 THE WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES...THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECREATED FOR A TECH TO INSPECT....SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT GO AS FAST AS SHOULD IF HEAVY RAIN AND OTHER TIMES GO TOO FAST IF BARELY DRIZZLING, THIS IS ON THE INTERMITTENT FUNCTION. FEBRUARY 2014 WAS DUE TO TAKE IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THAT DAY AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON THAT MORNING...WAS ADVISED NEEDS NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WAS AT 85K, MANF. WARRANTY WENT OUT AT 80K, EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED AND PAID EXTRA FOR...
I PUT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOWN TO GET THE SUN OUT OF MY EYES, WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT BACK UP, I HEARD A POP AND IT JUST HUNG THERE--- NOW THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT GO BACK UP AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS BLOCKING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR BUT ALSO ANNOYING. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT AS IT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $400 AND I JUST LOST MY JOB ON FRIDAY. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS!! *TR
