Mileage: 50,000

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD OR "NOT IN USE" POSITION. I CAN BE DRIVING AND IT WILL FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MY CAR BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND TALKING WITH DEALERSHIP IT IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE BUT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED BY RECALL BECAUSE NISSAN HAS NOT GIVEN THEM THE "OKAY." IN ORDER TO FIX PROBLEM A NEW VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED WITH VISOR PART ALONE COSTING $200+. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO PULL OVER THE EXTENSION VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO HOLD UP THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL STILL FALL DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES BLOCKING MY VISION AND AT TIMES AT VERY CRUCIAL MOMENTS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT PRODUCT INSTALLED BY NISSAN. IN THE BEGINNING I TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO FIX BUT TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE NOW BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF YOUR WEBSITE, WHICH I BELIEVE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE FILED WITH NISSAN, AND MAY HAVE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I HOPE YOUR COMPANY CAN HELP GET THIS RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVING A MURANO WITH THIS DEFECT GETS INJURED OR CAUSES INJURY TO OTHER MOTORIST. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 MURANO. I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH HYDROPLANING SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND ON GUARD WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR EVEN WHEN STREETS ARE WET. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH BRAND NEW TIRES AND TIRES THAT WERE SLIGHTLY WORN SO THE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM, UNLESS ITS THE TYPE OF TIRE BUT ITS NOT THE TREAD ON THE TIRE. THE CAR CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE P235/65 R18 TIRES AND I HAVE REPLACED WITH SAME TIRES WHEN NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED OF TREAD WEAR. ON JULY 22, 2013 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM GATLINBURG WITH DAUGHTER AND 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN CAR. WE WERE CAUGHT IN DOWNPOUR GOING THROUGH KNOXVILLE. I TRULY CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE ALIVE. MY CAR WOULD CONTINUALLY LOSE TRACTION AND IT WOULD SLIDE TO ONE SIDE UNTIL IT WOULD GRAB TRACTION BEFORE GOING OFF THE ROAD OR WRECKING. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE MURANO IN REGARDS TO HYDROPLANING. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR COMING DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP SINCE A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY MURANO AND DUE TO HYDROPLANING SAFETY ISSUE I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE UP WITH NISSAN BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE MY MURANO AT THIS TIME SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. THERE IS NO DOUBT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WAS NOT PROVEN BECAUSE DIDN'T LIVE TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED. WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT TO PREVENT BECOMING A STATISTIC AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY PRECIOUS CARGO? I FEEL LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR

Mileage: 104,000

THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM 6'1"AND MY SON IS 6'9" AND WE CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW WHEN WE DRIVE. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A COMMON THING WITH THIS CAR. IT COSTS LIKE $300. TO FIX. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSA KNOWS ABOUT IT AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGE. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED NEW IN 2005. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION AND MUST BE HELD IN PLACE BY OTHER MEANS .(I AM CURRENTLY USING A BUNGEE CORD THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE VISOR CLIP AND RAN ACROSS TO THE DRIVERS SIDE ROOF HANDLE ABOVE WINDOW TO HOLD THE VISOR UP SO THAT I HAVE ADEQUATE VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD). WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REPOSITION THE VISOR IN THE UP AND LOCK POSITION I HEARD A POPPING SOUND. AFTER THAT, THE VISOR HAS FAILED TO STAY LOCKED IN THE UP AND FLAT POSITION, KEEPING IT FLUSH AGAINST THE INTERIOR ROOF. IF NOT USING ANOTHER MEANS TO KEEP THE VISOR UP, IT WILL REMAIN IN THE DOWN POSITION AND BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW. DOES NOT HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO REMAIN AT AN ANGLE TO BLOCK SUN, ONLY HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

CPSC#I1320244A. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND BLOCKS HER VIEW WHILE DRIVING. *LN

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD SPORADICALLY UNLOCK OR LOCK DOOR...NOW IS ALL THE TIME AND MUST BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING ENTER THE VEHICLE IN AN UN SECURE ENVIRONMENT OR CAN RESULT IN STOLEN MERCHANDISE OR PARTS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO WELL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND DROPS SUDDENLY BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. *TR

Mileage: 74,000

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN UP DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS. ITEM WILL FALL INTO DOWN POSITION AND OBSTRUCT DRIVER'S VIEW OF ROAD, OTHER VEHICLES, AND SIGNAGE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT ON BUMPY ROADS; THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS, ALL ON HIGHWAY MILES. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

THE SUN VISORS REFUSE TO STAY UP WHILE DRIVING AND MAKE DRIVING UNSAFE. *TR

SUN VISOR - FALLS DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW WHILE DRIVING. WEAK SPRING IN THE UNIT I WAS TOLD. NEW REPLACEMENT PART IS $500. *TR

WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS OR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE VISOR IS NOT TIGHTLY HELD BY THE BRACKET THAT IT SITS ON. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THERE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (OR ANY SPEED FOR THAT MATTER), THIS LOSS OF VISION MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VISOR IS NOT RAISED UP QUICKLY ENOUGH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS 2005, 2006 AND 2007. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE ARE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF LIFE AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW SUN VISOR. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. *JS

Mileage: 45,000

VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE VISOR FELL DOWN AND BLOCKED MY VIEW. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE GOT THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD'T BE IGNORED.

THE CONTACT DID NOT REPLACE THE SUN VISORS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

Mileage: 65,000

BOTH SUN VISORS ON MY NISSAN MURANO STARTED FLOPPING VERTICALLY DOWN. THEY DO NOT STAY UP, NOR TILTED DOWNWARDS AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. AS A RESULT MY VIEW GETS DISTURBED WHILE STARTLING ME. HAVE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER WHEN GETTING ANOTHER REPAIR. THEY SAY THAT IT COSTS $300-$500 EACH TO REPLACE THEM. NO USED SUN VISORS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE AFTER MARKET AS ALL SUN VISORS TEND TO GO BAD. THIS IS A 100% COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH ALL MURANO'S AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT WHERE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I AM 51 YEARS OLD AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY CARS I HAVE EVER HAD. *TR

THE SUN VISOR IN MY NISSAN MURANO FLIPS DOWN AND DOES NOT STAY UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT SUDDENLY DROPS DOWN ON SLIGHTEST OF BUMPS AND BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY. *TR

Mileage: 74,000

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY SECURED IN THE 'UP' POSITION. FALLS INTO DRIVER'S VISION AT UNEXPECTED TIMES AND ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING OVER ROUGH SURFACE OR HITTING BUMP OR DIP IN ROAD SURFACE. PRESENTS CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGEROUS CONDITION(S) FROM SUDDEN LACK OF VISIBILITY AND/OR IN ACTING AS A POTENTIAL 'KNIFE EDGE' IN CASE OF A SUDDEN STOP. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS DIRECTLY INTO MY LINE OF VISION AND WILL NOT STAY UP. YOU CAN PUSH IT BACK UP BUT THEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME IT WILL FALL AGAIN. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS! *TR

Mileage: 75,000

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP REGARDLESS OF THE POSITION IT IS IN AND CONTINUES TO FALL DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. IT FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTED WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, ETC. I (AND MANY OTHER OWNER BASED ON BLOGS AND REVIEWS) HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES, FILED A COMPLAINT AND REQUESTED A RECALL, TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN EARLIER VEHICLES. UNDOUBTEDLY THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS AND NEAR MISSES DUE TO THIS OBSTRUCTION TO THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC FLOWS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE CALLED TO GET THIS MATTER ADDRESSED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE OF THE HAZARD IT CREATES AND THAT THE COMPONENT FAILURE HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE AT LEAST 2003. FILE # 6909366 WAS BEEN CREATED TO DOCUMENT MY CONCERN BY GINGER KNIGHT, CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. IF A RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED, PLEASE ADVISE OF THE INFORMATION SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED. IF NOT, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AND THE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS KEY COMPONENT FAILURE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WILL NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION. IT CAN ROTATE TO VERTICAL AT ANY TIME, BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISION AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION. REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE $300 AND UP. NISSAN IS IN COMPLETE DENIAL THAT THIS CHRONIC PROBLEM EXISTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS WOULD NOT REMAINED CLOSED WHEN DRIVING OVER ANY UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME FRACTURED, CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH ABNORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE COST OF REPLACING THE SEAT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

Mileage: 41,000

DRIVING IS THE EVENT LEADING TO THE FAILURE. DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION AND FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF DRIVERS EYES WITHOUT WARNING OR HESITATION. THIS WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DRIVER LOSING EYE CONTACT WITH TRAFFIC AND THE ROAD. *TR

NORMAL VEHICLE USE, ABOUT 45K MILES.THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS TO REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION. THIS LEADS TO CRITICAL DRIVER BLINDING AT UNEXPECTED TIMES, USUALLY DURING STOPS OR TURNS WHEN SIGHT IS CRITICAL. NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR UNDER $400 AND NO AFTER MARKET PARTS HAVE BEEN FOUND. A SEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A KNOWN COMMON ISSUE AFFECTING DRIVER SAFETY. *TR

Mileage: 45,235

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND BOTH SUN VISORS KEEP FALLING. I'VE TRIED VELCRO AND EVEN GLUE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THESE FAULTY VISORS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY TEND TO FALL WHEN I AM DRIVING AND MOMENTARILY OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. I'VE COME CLOSE ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE VISORS IS EXORBITANT ($350 OR MORE EA) AND WHILE RESEARCHING WHERE TO BUY THEM CHEAP OR EVEN A METHOD OF REPAIR FOR THIS DEFECT I'VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE NISSAN OWNERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 53,000

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN ONE DAY AND WILL NO LONGER STAY IN UP POSITION. IT MUST BE LEFT DOWN FLUSH AGAINST THE WINDOW WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE VISOR REPAIR IS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY BUT MY DEDUCTIBLE IS $200 AND TO FIX THE VISOR WITHOUT THE WARRANTY IS OVER $300. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS. PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN THEM REPLACED CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THE VISOR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONE THAT WORKS IN EVERY OTHER CAR. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HERE AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT ANYONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

Mileage: 69,000

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SUN VISOR DRIVER'S SIDE WON'T STAY UP AND IT FLOPS DOWN. I AGREE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I REFUSE TO PAY $500 TO HAVE A DEFECT ORIGINALLY FROM NISSAN REPAIRED PROPERLY. THE VISOR IS TOTALLY LOOSE AND WON'T STAY UP NOR WILL IT STAY PUT TO BLOCK THE SUN SINCE IT'S SO LOOSE THAT IT SIMPLY FLOPS STRAIGHT DOWN. I HAVE RESORTED TO USING DUCK TAPE TO TAPE IT IN THE UP POSITION SO IT DOESN'T FLOP DOWN WHEN I HIT A BUMP TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70+ MPH. IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M MAD AS *** ABOUT IT. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT IT'S NOT AS BAD - PROBABLY JUST DUE TO LESS USAGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN A SECURE UPWARD POSITION AND WAS OBSTRUCTING THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER.

UPDATED 05/05/11*LJ UPDATED 05/11/11

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL FALL DOWN FROM ANY POSTION AND BLOCK VISABILY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT WILL ALSO SCARE THE DRIVER CAUSING HANDS TO LEAVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN SELF PRESERVATION AND TO MOVE THE VISOR OUT OF THE VIEWING AREA. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. SO EACH TIME IT DOES HAPPEN IIT IS A SHOCK TO THE DRIVER. THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET REPAIR. THE DEALER WANTS IN EXCESS OF $300 TO REPLACE IT. THERE IS NO GUARENTEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT WILL NOT PERFORM AS THE ORIGINAL. I HAVE TRIED TO VELCRO THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION BUT VELCRO WILL NOT STICK TO THE HEAD LINER VERY WELL. ALSO I NEED THE VISOR IN MORE THAN JUST AN UP OR DOWN POSITION. *TR

Mileage: 48,000

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ARBITRARILY DROPS INTO VIEW FROM THE STORED POSITION CAUSING A DISTRACTION AND MOMENTARILY BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION GIVEN THE DISTRACTION, BLOCKED VISION, AND DAILY OCCURRENCES. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE STOWED POSITION. IT FALLS DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT OBSTRUCTING HIS/HER VISION.

MY SUN VISOR HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW. IT'S ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IF A TALL PERSON IS DRIVING YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT UP FOR THEM SO THEY CAN SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A 05 NIACIN MURANO AND ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING BLOG, SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOME HAVE SPENT 400.00 TO REPLACE IT ONLY FOR IT TO BREAK AGAIN. HTTP://WWW.NISSANFORUMS.COM/TRUCK-SUV/113557-MURANO-SUN-VISOR-FAILURE.HTML *LN

THE SUN VISOR WOULD REMAIN IN AN UPWARD POSITION WHEN SECURED WITH VELCRO STRAPS. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION. WHILE DISPENSING FUEL THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE CLICKED OFF CONTINUOUSLY. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WOULDN'T STAY UP AND WAS RIGHT IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD IT REPLACED AND COST NEARLY $400. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE WON'T STAY UP EITHER. THE PRICE HAS INCREASED TO NEARLY $500!!! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY NISSAN. I CAN'S SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SUN VISOR ALWAYS IN THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE TRIED VELCRO AND IT WON'T HOLD IT UP. I SAW ONLINE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP ANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS EXCEPT TO PAY THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR SUN VISORS. *TR

Mileage: 70,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSAGER SIDE SWING DOWN AND BLOCK THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE VISORS IS $800.00, AT THIS COST IT MAKES YOU THING NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CHOOSES TO MAKE A PROFIT ON THESE INSTEAD ON CONSIDERING THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AFTER READING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS. *LN

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND HAVE UNCOVERED A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SUN VISORS ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND KEEP FLIPPING COMPLETELY DOWN AND BLOCKING THE VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. IN SOME OF THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, YOUR VISION GETS COMPLETELY BLOCKED UNTIL YOU FLIP IT BACK UP. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW, RAIN, HEAVY TRAFFIC, OR AT NIGHT. SOMETIMES IT CAN DROP 2 - 3 TIMES A MINUTE. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THOUSANDS OF 2003 TO 2007 MURANOS. REPLACING THE SUN VISOR IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE AT $400 EACH AND SINCE THIS FLAW HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AT ALL BY NISSAN, YOU ARE ONLY REPLACING A DEFECTIVE VISOR WITH A NEW ONE THAT WILL BECOME DEFECTIVE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND THE REPLACEMENT ONE IS NOW DROPPING AGAIN. NISSAN HAS A TSB TO REPLACE THE CLIP THAT HOLDS THE MIRROR SIDE OF THE VISOR BUT THAT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECTIVE VISOR, NOT THE CLIP. THE VISOR SHAFT THAT INSERTS INTO THE CLIP LOOSENS INSIDE THE VISOR AND ROTATES, AND THAT IS THE DEFECT. THE WEIGHT OF THE VISOR EASILY OVERCOMES ANY FRICTION THE SHAFT HAS INSIDE THE VISOR AND DOWN IT COMES. NISSAN REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY DEFECT. THEY WON'T COVER IT ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTEES. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY HAZARD. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT THROW $400 TO NISSAN EVERY 2 - 3 YEARS TO REPLACE EACH SINGLE VISOR WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ONE? THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALSO NOW DROPPING. NISSAN HAS RECENTLY RAISED THE PRICE CONSIDERABLY TO GOUGE AND CAPITALIZE ON THEIR POOR DESIGN. RIGHT NOW I HAVE THE VISOR TIE WRAPPED TO THE SIDE HANDLE AND THAT MAKES THE VISOR COMPLETELY USELESS. IF I REPLACE BOTH AGAIN, I WILL HAVE SPENT $1200 SO FAR ON VISORS TO ONLY EXPECT TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN IN 2012-2013. $1200 IS A RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR REPLACING DEFECTIVE VISORS WITH NEW DEFECTIVE ONES. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO DISCONNECTED AND BLOCKED MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THEN IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE AND IS A CONSTANT DISTURBANCE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. IF YOU COMPLAIN ENOUGH, SOME DEALERS HAVE REPLACED IT FOR NO CHARGE. IN MY CASE I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $320 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

THE FAILURE IS WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE NO LONGER WORKS PROPERTY AND DROPS DOWN BLOCKING MY EYE LINE. WITHOUT HAVING IT TAPPED UP IN PLACE IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NISSAN CLAIMS IT IS NOT A DEFECT ALTHOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CAN'T AFFORD $350 TO GET A NEW ONE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP OUT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO FIX ALL OF THE VISORS. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE IT STARTED FALLING, SO I'M PUTTING AN ESTIMATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT RANDOMLY FALLS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. I DRIVE OVER 120 MILES A DAY, AND AM SCARED THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS PART IS ALSO $300 + TO REPLACE!! *TR

RECENTLY, THE SUN VISOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO STARTED FALLING DOWN SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY - EVERY FEW HUNDRED FEET ON A PAVED, BUMPY ROAD. SMOOTH INTERSTATE LANES DO NOT AFFECT, BUT HIT 1 BUMP AND YOU'LL HAVE THE VISOR IN YOUR FACE. THIS VISOR OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF ANYONE TALLER THAN 5'4" IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 58,500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER, HE SAID THEY'D SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT NISSAN DID NOT COVER REPLACEMENT, THE NISSAN PRICE FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY FOR THIS VISOR WAS QUOTED AT $380.00. HE SUGGESTED I TRY A SALVAGE YARD OR EBAY TO FIND ONE CHEAPER. AS I WENT ON-LINE TO INVESTIGATE, I FOUND FORUM AFTER FORUM OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. RESPONSE WAS MOSTLY THE SAME - NO CORRECTIVE MEASURES WERE OFFERED BY NISSAN, MANY HAD REPLACED THE VISOR - ONLY TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT FAIL AS WELL. I FELT THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, SO I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE NISSAN WEBSITE. TODAY THEY TOLD ME THEY WEREN'T OFFERING ANY ADJUSTMENT OR COMPENSATION ON RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. THAT'S WHEN I EXPRESSED MY DISSATISFACTION AND TOLD THEM I WOULD BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH YOU. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO IMMEDIATE AND ALMOST TOTAL VIEW OBSTRUCTION WHEN THE VISOR FALLS. EVEN IF THE DRIVER IS SHORT, IT IS AN OBVIOUS DISTRACTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAY NOZZLE DOES NOT DIRECT THE FLUID PROPERLY ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SPRAYING THE WASHER FLUID IT HITS VERY LOW ON THE WINDSHIELD AND DOES NOT ALLOW ANY FLUID TO THE UPPER HALF THE GLASS. IN FACT IT WILL HIT THE WIPER ARM FIRST AND THIS THEN BLOCKS ANY ADDITIONAL FLUID TO HIT DURING THE FIRST PASS. ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS. THAT WHEN YOU DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE AIR FLOW OVER THE HOOD DIRECTS THE FLUID TO THE LOWER HALF ON BOTH SIDES. THIS IS DANGEROUS DURING WINTER DRIVING WITH SNOW AND ICE FALLING AND ON THE ROAD. PLACEMENT OF THE NOZZLES ARE IN THE WRONG LOCATION. THEY GET BLOCKED BY SNOW AND ICE. THIS ALSO BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. ''THE NOZZLES CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED''. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT THIS SITUATION BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON VARIOUS WEB FORUMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
