This vehicle is only four years old with only 84000 miles, while driving I heard a loud sound coming from under the vehicle. I took the vehicle in to five towns nissan they told me that I have a big problem, my transfer case is not good. The transfer case, seal-oil and seal- oil ring would be $2750.82.

The visors will not stay in the up or stow position causing a safety issue for the driver. It will block the driver's vision when it falls. The nissan motor corporation is aware of the problem but refuses to do anything about the problem without charging the owners of the vehicles.

This is a 2007 murano purchased new in 2008. On september 12, while driving at low speed (25 MPH) the driver side visor lost its grip and fell to a hanging position. This is a hazard as it impairs visibility. I have researched the nissan forums and found out this is a very common problem with muranos dating back to 2004. However, despite thousands of complaints, I have not seen that a recall had been issued. It is very disturbing that the part/repair is really expensive.
The driver's side sun visor falls down and blocks the view of the driver. I used to keep my seat up high because I'm short, and it helped me have a better view of the road.

Part appears to be un-available and/or way over priced for something that should not fail within the first seveal years of operation. Typical sun visors are priced from $50 to $200. Nissan want over $350.00 for one.
When I lock my doors they go down all by themselves. Yesterday they went down the car got soaked inside. I don't feel safe because anybody can reach their hand in and open the doors. Car is 4 years old. Shouldnt be having these major repair problems. So far stress cracked windshield, squealing brakes, now all four windows going down after I lock it. This is a major safety issue what if the doors lock and the windows decide not togo down anymore something is bad wrong with the locking mechanism. I want to know why there hasn't been a recall for this very disturbing failure .below it doesn't give you a choice to explain what is really wrong with the car thank you for letting me explain now.

I brought my car in for an oil change and when I picked up the car I was told my lift link was broken. I informed the dealer that it was not like that prior to bringing car in. He told me nissan murano had a history of this defect. I was never told of this defect. I question why the dealer failed to tell me this upon leasing the 2007 murano and secondly how it just happened to break during a visit. The technician explained to the consumer that the lift link keeps the seat in a stable position. He then proceeded to show the consumer that the driver's seat was rocking from side to side and could be dangerous in case of an accident. The consumer stated there was nothing wrong with the seat, when the vehicle was dropped off at the dealer. The consumer also stated the driver's side visor would not stay in the upright position. The technician examined the visor and stated it was broken and needed to be replaced. Updated ivoq 08/12/10*jb

2007 nissan murano drivers sunvisor does not remain in retracted (stowed) position. Sunvisor rotates about pivot rod due to road vibration and completely blocks drivers view. This is extremely dangerous and is exacerbated with night time driving or in bad weather. This appears to be a defect in design of the sunvisor retract cam mechanism. The sunvisor unit cannot be repaired, it must be replaced and is prohibitively expensive. Nissan has been contacted directly and refuses to replace the component. An internet search has revealed many similar failures in multiple model years and 116 reports are on file with the federal safety agency as of this writing. This should be the subject of a safety recall before someone is killed by these defective sunvisors.
