2014 Nissan Murano

MY 2014 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE AND HAS TO BE HELD IN PLACE BY A SMALL BUNGEE CORD NOW SINCE NISSAN STATES IT'S NOT A COVERED REPAIR. THE COST TO BUY A NEW VISOR AND INSTALL IS OVER $370 FROM THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONFIRMS MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

EXPLOSION OF SUNROOF. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (I-10), I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POPPING. FOR A MOMENT I WAS CONCERNED SOMETHING WAS THROWN OR SHOT AT THE VEHICLE. I THEN PULLED OVER AND ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND SAW NEARLY THE ENTIRE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE SUNROOM WAS SHATTERED AND FALLEN ON THE SUNROOF COVER. THE SMALL PORTIONS OF THE EXTERIOR APPEARED TO BE PUSHED UPWARD (WHICH FURTHER CONFIRMED SOMETHING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME INTERIOR).

ON AUGUST 4, 2017, I VISITED AUTONATION NISSAN IN MEMPHIS SO THEY COULD VERIFY THAT MY CAR NEEDED THE RECALLED PART. AFTER VERIFICATION, I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED & THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY CAME IN TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2017, I CALLED AUTONATION NISSAN AGAIN TO FOLLOW UP & SPOKE WITH DAVE IN SERVICE. DAVE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NEVER ORDERED & TOLD ME HE WOULD PLACE THE ORDER RIGHT AWAY. AGAIN, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP CALL SAYING THE PARTS HAVE COME IN.

NHTSA RECALL 17V-184 FOR OUR 2014 NISSAN MURANO BEGAN 5/10/2017. TOOK CAR TO DEALER 5/31/2017 FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION AFTER RECEIVING RECALL NOTICE. REPAIR COULD NOT BE MADE BECAUSE PARTS ARE ON RESTRICTION. FOLLOWED UP WITH MULTIPLE DEALERS ON 9/6/2017 - PARTS ARE STILL ON RESTRICTION. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ISSUE A RECALL IF PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

6/17/17 COMPLETED 2014 MURANO POWER STEERING HOSE CLAMP RECALL WORK. NHTSA 17V-184. NOTICED RATTLING NOISE FROM ENGINE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT (STATIONARY). 6/29/17 BACK TO DEALER, GOT BACK 7/3/17. DEALER REPRODUCED AND NOTED THE ISSUE ON SERVICE RECORD. DID THE RECALL WORK FOR A 2ND TIME, BUT ISSUE NOT FIXED. STATED THERE IS NO FIX, BLAMES RECALL PART (DEALER SAYS PER NISSAN TECHLINE), REFERRED ME TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. 7/8/17-7/11/17 PROVIDED NISSAN PROOF OF OWNERSHIP. THEY ADVISED TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALER. 7/13/17-7/14/17 ANOTHER DEALER. THEY CLAIMED TO NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND SUGGESTED I BRING BACK A RECORDING. WENT BACK WITH NOISE RECORDING IN MY GARAGE. THEY CONFIRMED NOISE IN WRITING AND ADVISED ME TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER. ALSO REFERRED ME BACK TO NISSAN. 7/16/17, 7/20/17 NISSAN SAYS TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH BOTH DEALERS. 7/24/17 NISSAN INFORMED ME THAT THE FIRST ONE CLAIMS THE NOISE IS NORMAL, THE SECOND ONE CLAIMS THERE IS NO NOISE. I INFORMED NISSAN BOTH DEALERS CONFIRMED NOISE IN WRITING. I ASKED IF THE NOISE IS NORMAL (PER THE FIRST DEALER), WHY DID THEY DO THE RECALL WORK A SECOND TIME? AND HOW CAN THE SECOND DEALER CLAIM THERE IS NO NOISE WHEN I HAVE IT IN WRITING? HE ASKED ME TO SEND HIM THE VIDEO RECORDING AND DOCS FROM BOTH DEALERS. I E-MAILED NISSAN PDF SCANS AS WELL AS THE VIDEO RECORDING. 7/27/17-7/31/17 NISSAN ASKED ME TO GO TO THE FIRST DEALER. DEALER CONFIRMED THE NOISE ON THE RECORDING. BUT NOW THEY CLAIMED NOT HEARING THE NOISE AND THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THEY CAN DO. THEY AVOIDED ANSWERING WHY THEY DID RECALL WORK TWICE. 8/1/17 NISSAN INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN CAN DO. NISSAN CONFIRMED THE NOISE ON THE VIDEO AND CONFIRMED THAT BOTH DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGED THE NOISE. 8/12/17 THE NOISE PERSISTS. I AM CONCERNED SAFETY/RECALL ISSUE IS NOT PROPERLY FIXED.
