This car is filling with water. Apparently hundreds of people have reported this in all different model years. The car has a moonroof and the drains are not installed correctly. There is water in spare tire well and running into dash as well as into break lights. Nissan should be fixing this for everyone. The cars should be recalled. I hate to think this will require a class action.

On several occasions now I have gone to exit the car from the drivers side and it just didn-??t open. It behaved as though a child lock engaged and it would only open after manually flipping lock repeatedly. Was scary to feel trapped in car.

Sunroof suddenly exploded putting us at risk while driving on the interstate. We heard a loud explosion before the sunroof shattered into pieces. There are open class action lawsuits about this problem. There was no warning that this was a problem before this happened.

Driving on freeway at 65 mph with no other vehicles around and the sun roof exploded. It sounded like an explosion and glass fell into the car. There was no evidence in the car that anything fell onto the sunroof.

While operating my Nissan on a rural highway I heard what I thought to be a gun shot and felt glass hit me. To my surprise, the sunroof in my 2018 Nissan Murano had exploded.

I rented this vehicle from enterprise and while driving on old country road in westbury, New York, all of a sudden smoke filled the car and my foot felt really hot like it was on fire. This occurred suddenly without any warnings, causing me to lose visibility and crash into another vehicle and ultimately a tree. I lost consciousness.

Whether it be a few seconds after driving, or a minute or two, the warning 'unavailable front radar obstruction' appears on the dash board. This indicates that the automatic collision avoidance system has been disabled. This is the radar system that monitors the distance between the vehicle and any object in front of it, that first alerts the driver if they are approaching an object ahead rapidly and if no action is taken on the drivers part, will then try to slow the vehicle down by applying the brakes to help avoid or mitigate the impact of a collision. This system is not supposed to automatically turn itself off. This happens every single time the vehicle is used and seems to be a well documented phenomenon by Murano owners, through unofficial Nissan Murano forums, as well as here on digital trends 'https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/faulty-radars-compromising-Nissan-emergency-braking-system/?amp' with the 2015-2018 Nissan Murano and other Nissan vehicles.

I own a 2018 Nissan Murano sl. There is a front senor issue that I have been experiencing ever since I purchased the vehicle, in November 12, 2019. Every time I drive it, without fail. Seemingly random, I get an error message: "front radar obstructed" warning appears on panel. The "collision warning system inactive" icon light comes on. After a few minutes, the warning message goes off; the collision warning system light goes off. This error continues to happen again almost every ten minutes after the initial error message for the duration of my car trip. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm traveling on a highway or country road.... or even at a complete stop....it still happens no matter what, as long as the vehicle is turned on.

When driving in cruise control, the vehicle will suddenly flash a signal stating "front radar obstruction, unavailable" which disengages the braking system while driving in cruise control, . this almost caused a major accident on the highway because the radar failed to alert and automaticall slow car down. This also causes a hazard when driving on regular streets as all of a sudden the signal flashes inexplicably and unpredictably which causes a distraction while driving.

"unavailable front radar obstruction" pops up randomly while driving around town or highways, freeways or anyplace. It is faulty, causing the emergency braking system to not work. Because it does not work, neither will using cruise control - a basic accessory for the past several decades! the ebs has been going off and on for quite some time and I figured I'd have it checked at the next maintenance appointment (1 week ago). They found it to be faulty and replaced a distance sensory unit. Within about 20 miles the ebs quit working again. It has been this way for most of the week but I have not taken it in due to the holidays. Today I had to drive over 100 miles and was unable to use cruise control because the ebs system did not work the entire time. The crash light comes on,

The censor is defective on my vehicle. The censor has been replaced twice.I purchased this vehicle new and now I feel very unsafe driving it because the censor defectiveness can cause the vehicle to stop in traffic.

While driving along approximately 5 mph along a city street approaching a traffic light ready to stop, I heard this really loud noise sounding like a gunshot or similar loud noise. The sunroof was closed, however, it exploded the front sliding glass of the sunroof, and I was very surprised. At first I had no idea what H ad taken place, I then heard loud air noises coming in the car. I checked to make sure all the doors and windows were closed tightly. I decided to strop and check the outside of the vehicle, and noticed the large hole in the sunroof. I had drive home about 35 miles with the broken glass sliding around in the shade between the sunroof and the car. I had no idea how this could have happened. The next day I took it to the body shop, and they stated that I shouldn't be driving it like this because it would be very dangerous if the broken glass would suddenly break through the shade, and the glass would fall directly into the auto and on me and the passenger. I don't have any pictures at this time, ,however the body shop has.

I was driving in the fast lane on the freeway, and for no apparent reason, the car shut down, then immediately started up again. I was fearful that I was going to get hit from behind, so immediately went to the slow lane. I drove the car to and from my destination with no further incident, but fear it might happen again.

Frontal collision warning system continuously turns off while driving car. When this happens it also causes the cruse control to turn off. When traveling at highway speeds this causes the vehicle to rapidly slow down on the highway without the brake lights coming on. This potentially could cause a chain reaction accident. The problem occurs every time the car is driven. Nissan knows of the problem but does not have a fix for it. They continue to say the problem is under engineering review. The problem has been on Nissan vehicles for at least two years and Nissan continues to produce vehicles that they know has a safety problem.
