A few weeks ago there was a rash of burglaries in PA where the thieves entered unlocked cars and used the garage openers to enter houses which were occupied. Having my car entered and being robbed (car or house) scares me more than the water.
Can we get the window down feature disabled?? When would anybody really NEED that?
But winter is gonna be here and I won't be needing it. Just like what our friend was whitall was asking, "can we get the window down disabled?". I' would also like to know how it can be done.
I haven't had it in the rain since it was fixed this week, but we'll see. I'm also concerned with any lasting water damage that may have occured but is not yet seen!!
My second leak wet the entire a-pillar on the part where it meets the window, not the edge along the windshield and also along the edge of the headliner above the front door window. They never isolated that source, but claim to have replaced all the seals and weatherstrips. Don't know if they did the sunroof drain plug along with that. I never saw any leakage around my lights.
I haven't had it out in any heavy rain since the repair since every time a storm threatens, it has high winds or hail possibility, so I put it in the garage.
Make sure your headliner is not stained and make them clean it or replace it if is.
Anyone know how I can fix my HID cheaply? I was told by the local dealership that I had the Headlight Amplifier out. He advised that it would be $460 for the part and $200 for labor. Now I am prepared to mount a flashlight where the bulb goes and use that for now. Any ideas?
I checked with a buddy of mine who is the service manager with the local Infinity outfit, and he says he has never replaced that unit before...
I have never heard of one going bad. Has anyone else heard of that?

It's like when a rock hits your windshield or a nail goes through your tire. It's not a warranty claim because the cause is external.
I don't mean to discourage you or to be unsympathetic (I wouldn't like this either) , but in my opinion you haven't a prayer legally with this argument and you should take the options much more likely to bring you some satisfaction--that is, an insurance claim. If say, a rock rolled down a hill and you hit it WHILE it was still rolling, insurance would pay for that damage.
I would really like to have screening put back there, but I am not capable of removing grills or anything. Is there anyway to stick something protective? WOuld the service dept do this?
It would be interesting to see the old condenser, where it was damaged (high or low) and the angle of attack. If it's a long wound, up and down vertically or a long diagonal, it's most assuredly a bounce.
I suppose if there is access, you could add some mesh behind the grille---if you can get it here at all. You could use a very light plastic mesh and some stick-um and see how that works.
This might be better than submitting such a small claim to your insurance, and having the rate for it go up on renewal.
As with the famous recall for the shooter nails from the front tires to the plastic fuel tank, it is a thousand to one chance, but can be blocked.
And, check ANY other car...the AC grid is up front, exposed and wide open to a hit...as it has to be to work.
Agree with HOST....not a defect, not a warranty item. Like a rock in the window...back luck, timing and Kharma....
Try insurance...if you want to save money up front but be ready for a pop in premiums.
Not defending Nissan, but hey, it's a road hazard thing. Good luck...JB
Sometimes S--t Happens. :sick:
Its very irritating to drive with this problem, I had camry before and I know nissan is not that smooth but murano is stiff/firm ride thats ok, but this kind of rough drive is vert irritating after spending thousands for car. Can anyone explain me, is this problem that I have live with it. Can anyone suggest how to explain this to dealer or a solution. Thanks.
#1425 and especially #1427 in which I give the Nissan part number that was on the WARRANTY replacement service billing.
It's a shame...in their haste to negotiate a deal with failing General Motors (which fell through), they have let some valued clients like us go unattended. In closing, the "reps" on the phone have almost ZERO knowledge of problems and solutions...this according to senior service people at my dealership...they come and go as fast as service writers. Yes, Nissan may have exhausted the nice metal protectors my parts guy found for me, but a big stink might make them ramp up and turn out some new ones. The plastic hang-down is a bad compromise. Look under any new Murano, and see how they have solved the problem...metal, form-fitting, and that is what we should demand. John B
Thanks Again John
Please give Charles a big hand shake for me when you see him.

I went to Nissan yesterday and asked them to replace it with the new contoured shield. They told me they had no idea what I was talking about. I told them the part number that I got off of this site, A7285-CC25A or A7285-CC25B and they told me it was the same part as I had on. Then they got caught in the lie. They then told me they have to put the part number that Nissan told them to as part of the recall which was A7285-CC27A. I told them that this was a hazardous item to have on my car. They told me that I would have to call Nissan. I got furious. I yelled at them that YOU ARE NISSAN. They then said we are just a franchise. Then I yelled back. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM YOU WHICH IS A NISSAN AND YOU ARE A NISSAN DEALER. This banter went back and forth on and on, and they kept saying that they have to use the ugly part the Nissan Corp told them to unless I contact Nissan Corp myself and have them say they will use the new part. Now my car has the same awfull plow on it. I love my Murano, I hate Nissan. Their customer service has been horrible. :mad:

tidester, host
My lease expires in 08, this will be the last time I buy a Nissan, the whole company has been a rotten experience for me.
To our Canadian friends, have you got any experience regarding this issue?
I sent another email to Nissan Canada if they can order in our behalf and I'm still awaiting for the response.
Homeouner, you are getting the run-around and you should be upset. John B California
John, I just have the mental picture of you doing that, and the neighbors shaking their heads about the "Old Doc" finally loosing it!
