I HAVE TWIN SEVEN YEAR OLDS WITH AUTISM THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF MURANO'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH IT AFFECTED YOUR DRIVING UNTIL I DROVE IT TODAY. WE ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR AND I CAN GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT BE A NISSAN OR INFINITI. $200 FOR A $20 SUN VISOR IS INSANE! *TR

2004 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR REPEATEDLY FALLS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE FATAL IF NOT FIXED. I HAVE HAD 2 INCIDENTS WHERE I WAS CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR DUE TO THE VISOR FALLING. THE VISOR FELL AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION IN WHICH IT CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH A RED LIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO VERIFY THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BACK TO LET THEM KNOW IT WAS VERIFIED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM AND THAT A REGIONAL SPECIALIST WOULD CONTACT ME. I TALK TO THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST AND SHE NEEDED THE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP. SHE NOW HAS IT AND I'M WAITING FOR A RESPONSE NOW. THIS ALL STARTED JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WITH NISSAN.

MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR PROBLEM. IT KEEPS FALLING DOWN AND WILL ALSO NOT STAY UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE VISOR WILL FLOP DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSE ME TO BECOME DISTRACTED, WHICH COULD CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, IF I PUT IT DOWN, IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE POSITION I PLACE IT IN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE NISSAN MURANO. I HAVE NOTICED ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY OR UNDER A RECALL. THERE WAS EVEN A NISSAN AUTO TECHNICIAN WHO ANONYMOUSLY ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE BECAUSE HE HAS TO REPLACE THE VISOR PART ON MANY VEHICLES HE HAS WORKED ON. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

AS YOU ARE DRIVING, THE SUNVISOR WILL DROP DOWN BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH ANOTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNER WHO STATED THAT SHE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, I RAN AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR "PROBLEMS WITH A NISSAN MURANO SUNVISOR" AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS BLOGS SUBMITTED BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN MURANOS.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUN VISORS FALL TO THE DOWN POSITION WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS CAN CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THE COST TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VISOR SEEMS ABSURDLY HIGH ESPECIALLY WHEN I LOOK AT SEVERAL FORUMS OF MURANO OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOW DRIVE WITH MY HAND HOLDING THE VISOR IN THE "UP" POSITION WHICH IS ALSO A HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND IN ORDER TO SEE WITHOUT THE VISOR FALLING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB AND SAW SEVERAL MURANO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. AT WHAT POINT OR HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO RECEIVE IN ORDER TO RECALL THE ITEM? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR NOTIFY THE MEDIA TO SEEK ACTION? *TR

THE SUN VISOR OF MY NISSAN MURANO 2004 ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT STAY UP AND KEEPS ON FALLING INTO MY EYES. FROM THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MURANO VEHICLES. IT STARTED ALMOST A YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME I USED TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT UP IN POSITION AND IT WOULD STAY UP FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW THE COGNITION HAS WORSENED. NOW NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY, THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE AND KEEP ON DROPPING INTO MY EYES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A REPUTED CAR MANUFACTURER LIKE NISSAN CAN BUILD SUCH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. IN MY MIND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD ASK NISSAN TO STAND UP TO THEIR PRODUCT AND ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR. OTHER PROBLEMS ARE: 1. DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT DOES NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE SOME PART IS BROKEN, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS, I NEED TO REPLACE ENTIRE MECHANISM. 2. GAS CAP COVER DOES NOT OPEN. I HAD TO SPEND $400 TO GET IT FIXED. 3. THERE IS SOME ENGINE COMPONENT THAT MAKES INTERNAL NOISE THAT COULD MAKE MY VEHICLE STOP WHILE DIVING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS COSTS $4,500. LOOKS LIKE WHOLE CAR IS FALLING APART IN UNDER 60,000 MILES. IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE THAT NISSAN HAS MANUFACTURED THIS CAR WITH BUILT-IN OBSOLESCENCE. *TR

O OWN A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. MY INCIDENT RELATES TO THE INTERIOR SUN VISOR ON THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD THESE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES NOW DUE TO THE FACT THEY WILL NOT HOLD IN PLACE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO FAILS TO STAY 'UP' OUT OF THE DRIVER'S VISION. IT STARTS TO FALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND BECOMES MORE AND MORE PRONE TO FALLING INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF VISION. MY FIRST SUN VISOR FAILED BEFORE I HAD THE CAR THREE YEARS BUT AFTER I HAD DRIVEN 36,000 MILES. AFTER A NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN, THEY REPLACED THE SUN VISOR. NOW, APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS LATER, THE REPLACEMENT SUN VISOR ALSO FALLS UNTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. THIS IS NOT REPAIRABLE: IT MUST BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF OVER $300 FOR THE PART ALONE, AND I EXPECT, FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN, THAT THE NEXT VISOR WILL ALSO FAIL. *TR

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR HAS BECOME LOOSE - WILL NOT RELIABLY STAY IN POSITION WHEN IN ANY POSITION EXCEPT A FULLY UPRIGHT ONE.

I HAVE HAD TO USE A TEMPORARY PUTTY TO TRY TO KEEP IT FROM FLOPPING DOWN. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. I HAVE OCCASIONALLY HAD TO HOLD THE VISOR IN THE NEEDED POSITION WHEN THE SUN WAS SHINING IN MY FACE - THUS ILLEGALLY AND UNSAFELY DRIVING WITH ONE HAND. MY DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST AROUND $400 TO REPLACE THE VISOR, MONEY I DO NOT HAVE. MY FULL WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT WHEN THIS STARTED AND THE PARTIAL WARRANTY DID NOT COVER "ACCESSORIES", WHICH IS WHAT THEY CLAIM THIS IS. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER "TRIM PARTS", EVEN WHEN I INSISTED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN QUOTES $300 PER VISOR TO REPLACE, BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE NEW VISOR WON'T BREAK. IF YOU GOOGLE "NISSAN MURANO SUN VISOR" YOU WILL GET THOUSANDS OF HITS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE NISSAN DEALER WOULD NOT REASON WITH ME THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEM WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CLIP THAT HOLDS THE VISOR, BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE VISORS INTERNALLY THAT CAUSE THEM TO DROP AND HANG RIGHT IN YOUR LINE OF SIGHT. I HAVE TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE PROBLEM BY AFFIXING VELCRO TO THE CEILING, BUT I CANNOT USE MY VISOR WHEN THE SUN IS IN MY EYES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS BEGINNING TO BE HARD TO MOVE NOW, AND IF IT FOLLOWS THE PATTERN OF THE OTHER VISOR, IT WILL FAIL SOON. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT IT HAS FAILED AND ADVISED CUSTOMER SERVICE OF SAME. HE ALSO TOLD THEM THAT DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD PROBABLY FAIL SOON. STANDARD 36 MONTH WARRANTY WILL NO LONGER COVER VISORS AS IT HAS LONG SINCE RUN OUT. I HAVE THE 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT WILL NOT COVER THE VISORS. I ADVISED CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THE VISOR FALL WHILE DRIVING, AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION, REQUIRING DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY LEAN OVER AND PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP. I ALSO ADVISED THAT I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAD VISORS THAT FAILED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE VISORS HAS EXPIRED, AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME REPLACE THEM. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.

2004 NISSAN MURANO - IN MID MARCH 2008, MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR (LIGHTED W/EXTENSION) FELL DOWN AND NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO REMAIN IN THE "UP" POSITION. THE VISOR CANNOT REMAIN IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN A 90 DEGREE ANGLE PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND. THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP THE VISOR UP OR ADJUST IT TO REMAIN AT AN ANGLE. IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS AND SERIOUSLY OBSTRUCTS FORWARD VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON SUNNY DAYS. SINCE MARCH 2008, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS. THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE VISOR WITHOUT REPLACING IT. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS APPROX. $300.

I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON "MURANO SUN VISOR" AND FOUND OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN WITH A FULL RESOLUTION; I.E. RECALL. THE DEALER WANTS NEARLY $300 TO REPLACE ONE VISOR, WHICH IS LIKELY TO BREAK AGAIN, ACCORDING TO SEVERAL ACCOUNTS IN THE MESSAGE BOARDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST HAD TWO COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF IT, AND ONCE, I RAN A RED LIGHT BECAUSE OF IT FALLING DOWN. IF I KEEP IT TACKED UP, THEN OF COURSE THERE ARE TIMES OF THE DAY WHEN THE SUN IS BLINDING ME, SO IT IS NOT SAFE NO MATTER WHAT I DO. *TR
