Safety issue! My murano driver side visor will not stay up and is very dangerous.my car is only 9 years old and I looked online and this is a known issue for several years for nissan, even for 3 year old cars and could cause a serious accident when it falls covering the drivers vision both front and rear view mirror! This car and item should be recalled. Owners should not have to pay for their own safety for an issue like this.

The sunroof exploded today while I was driving on the highway. It made a loud bang noise and shattered. It scared me. Thank goodness I had the cover closed so none of the glass came in the car.

Driver's side sun visor does not remain in the up position droops down when driving over small bumps, impairing driver visibility. This happens when driving but is getting worse and soon I anticipate the visor will not stay in the up position when the vehicle is stationary.

Sunroof of my 2011 nissan murano exploded suddenly while driving down the highway on a clear day and no other cars in the area. The malfunction of the sunroof exploding caused the center of the sunroof glass to protrude outward into a dome shape while glass pieces shattered into the cabin of the murano. Upon contacting the nissan dealer, they referred me to the national nissan customer service number, but after 4 days I am still waiting on a call back from the regional nissan office. This is a major safety issue that nissan must take responsibility for correcting as soon as possible.

I have noticed on numerous occasions this summer, a crackling sound in lower portion of the front windshield. I actually remember hearing it last summer but it is now more audible. The warm weather must be a factor. I have also experienced problems with my keyless fob, it does not always work and my ignition an rear lift gate sometimes will operate even when the fob is within 3 feet. This has occurred several times over the past 2 months. I took it to nissan and they could not find the problem. I purchased the car brand new in aug. 2011. No accidents. Updated 4/24/2015

We were driving at 35 miles/hr with 3 years old daughter in the car seat in the back. Suddenly the roof just exploded. We had the inside cover of the sunroof open and the debris from the roof explosion flew in our daughter face. Fortunately, beside minor scratches on her face and crying when we put her back to the car, she is ok. She now resist us when we try to put her in this car. This is absolutely a quality issue from nissan. We agree with nissan that we never heard about roof exploding before, but we as many other have witnessed one from car made by nissan.

While traveling approx 65 MPH on the highway with no trucks or overpasses around my sunroof glass literally exploded! I thought I had a tire blowout until I heard wind coming from the roof and saw bright light from the sunshade cracks. When I opened the visor a crack you could see the glass had exploded upward. I had a large chunk of glass missing from the sunroof. I saw another complaint on the federal safety agency for the same situation and I an very concerned about the safety of the glass. Thank you for you consideration! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While I was driving down the road at about 45 MPH no other vehicles around me and no overpass or trees above me , my sunroof exploded (it sounded like a gunshot went off) and then I heard a crackling noise which as soon as I pulled over I found it had exploded upwards and shattered. I have pictures to show the sunroof exploded upwards.
