2003 NISSAN MURANO SE 4WD HAS SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRSTLY THE RIGHT SIDE SUN VISOR CLIP IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL NOT HOLD VISOR IN PLACE: 3 TRIPS TO DEALER HAVE NOT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE AS THEY NEVER HAVE THE PART. SECONDLY THE CVT TRANSMISSION PRESENTS A PROBLEM ON HOLDING THE VEHICLE IN PLACE ON A UPHILL INCLINE...IF YOU DON'T BRAKE, THE VEHICLE JUST ROLLS BACK, AS OPPOSED TO STANDARD AUTO TRANSMISSION WHICH LOCKS, AND PREVENTS SIGNIFICANT ROLLBACK. *CB
