Nissan Murano wipers problems

Filed Jan 24, 2021 · Visibility · 100 miles · TN

I went from a white 2019 nissan murano to a black 2020 murano. The week after I got it, I took a trip to the gulf coast. On my way down, when the sun was overhead, the rear "lip" of the hood acted just like a mirror and reflected the sun right in the drivers eyes. If you look at the hood, it slants up like a normal hood, then the last 3 inches are tilted down toward the cowl/windshield wiper area. I am attaching a picture, however it does not accurately show how bright this reflection is. It is exactly like somebody taking a mirror and shining it in your eyes. I participate in the nissan employee lease program and took it back to the administrator and they said that they cannot do anything about it; that it was a design issue. This situation only happens when the sun is high in the sky but it is a very dangerous situation when it reflects in your eyes. Below asks for a specific date but it happens any time the conditions are right.

The car hood has a ridge that slopes toward the driver directly in front of the windshield wipers. The sun reflects directly into the driver when there is morning or afternoon sun and the sun visor cannot be positioned low enough to block the reflection. This reflection can temporarily blind the driver while the car is in motion. I am trading this car in for another vehicle because of this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan murano. After driving various speeds for more than thirty minutes, the vehicle suddenly became unresponsive when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The rpms increased, but the speed did not. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to world car nissan (12908 north interstate hwy 35 bldg 1, san antonio, tx) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty. The transmission was replaced and the failure was remedied. In addition, the windshield wiper pump would become clogged with debris and failed to operate correctly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The bluetooth radio system malfunctioned during the first year and dealer services were not knowledgable about the defect until 3 years out. Digital symbols for air/heat sometimes not visable and radio not functioning. Driver's side sun visor fell from the roof and I was able to reinsert. But, difficult to lower/raise. Dealer wants hundreds to replace (no repair possible). Wipers scrape/rub the glass too closely as though too large/tight. Makes terrible scraping sound and clicking noise when in use, although new. All issues occur whether vehicle is in motion or not.

On aug. 6, 2016, we were returning from va. Beach and around 4:00 pm it began to rain; strong and hard rain. We were on 301 heading north to washington dc. We proceeded to turn on the wipers and the defroster to clear the windows for visibility. The air was blowing but the condensation was increasing on the windows. We stopped at the sheehy dealer at 2950 crain hwy waldorf, md. Where I purchase the vehicle to get some assistance. The general manager came out, but he was unable to get the defrost system to work and remove the condensation from the windows.

1-10-2016 between 7:00 and 7:30 I was on my way home, car in motion on a busy city street. It was dark outside and snowing, thus slick roads. Brake and battery light came on, car began to lose power. Barely moved and very quickly all electrrical components went dead. Stuck in the middle lane at an intersection, I turned on my hazards in fear of being rear ended. My hazards fairly quickly got dimmer and dimmer. Called 911 and asked to have a patrol car park behind me with lights on until my husband could get there to try to jump me. Car would not srart. Windshield wipers were on doing there own thing. Could not shut them off. Eventually they too died. Could not pull over due to heavy traffic and car moved to slow when issue began. Patrol car did come and parked behind me with lights on in order to prevent an accident. Husband came and was able to jump start vehicle. Issue also happened while leaving a parking lot, car in motion. Husband jump started car. Also happened while taking child to school, put car in neutral and accelerated and car then got power back while in motion on city street. Nissan tech said nissan considers this an inconvenience. I was scared ob being killed. Also, my passenger air bag indicator light is on stating it is off. Has been on since issue began. Taking to shop to be repaired today, believe the issue is the alternator but not 100% sure. Will keep all receipts and other records obtained.

When starting the car from a parked positioned after running a few errands during a slight ice/snow fall mid-morning and wipers did not move when activated. I turned the wipers on high and listened for the motor which was running but it seemed wiper were detached. I spent 2 days driving to and from work at night with rain and snow fall each way. I was dangerous but I could not call in. My family and I have been looking up this issue and apparently it is very common for many different types of nissans to have this linkage brake.
