THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH SIDES OF NISSAN MURANO KEEPS FALLING AND ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

THE HINGE MECHANISM THAT KEEPS THE SUN VISOR IN THE UP POSITION, FAILS CAUSING THE VISOR TO RANDOMLY FALL WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS CAUSES ME TO BE STARTLED & ALSO IS A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL! AFTER EVENTUALLY GETTING SO BAD IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL & THEN FINDING OUT IT WOULD COST $300+ TO REPLACE, I'M STUCK USING A VELCRO STRAP ATTACHED TO DRIVERS SIDE "O-S@&T" BAR TO KEEP IT UP! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. IT KEEPS FALLING. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE NISSAN FORUMS AND READ WHERE ONE NISSAN MECHANIC, (METRO273) SAID THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISOR AND HE HAS REPAIRED MANY. TO MY POINT THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER BECAUSE IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THIS THING FALLS DOWN, THE DRIVER HAS TO MAKE A SPLIT DECISION BY TAKING HIS EYES OFF THE ROAD TO REMOVE THE OBSTACLE THAT IS BLOCKING HIS OR HER VIEW. NISSAN SHOULD WARRANTY THIS ITEM AND REPLACE IT FOR FREE. *TR

SUN VISOR LEFT SIDE. *TR

I HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISOR LEFT SIDE WAS ON THE NISSAN OFFICE AND THEY SAY I HAVE TO BUY OR REPAIR THE COST IS LIKE $500.00 THEY DON'T COVER ANYTHING SO IF CAN HELP ME TO DO ANY SOLUTION THANKS. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SUDDENLY BROKEN AND COME DOWN TO BLOCK MY VIEW IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 3 YEARS AGO. SEEMS THE ISSUE WAS NOT ACTUALLY FIXED. IT NOW FALLS DOWN REGULARLY AND SUDDENLY BLOCKS MY VIEW. I'M TOLD ITS $400 TO FIX IT AGAIN. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THESE VISORS. *TR

HELLO - I HAVE BEEN READING MULTIPLE THREADS ON THE NISSAN FORUM, ON FACEBOOK AND ELSEWHERE REGARDING NISSAN MURANO SUN VISORS FROM 2006 AND OTHER YEARS THAT "FAIL" AND FLOP DOWN.... ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THIS IS NOT AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE, HOWEVER, ON THE DRIVER"S SIDE IT IS... AN UNEXPECTED BLOCKED SIGHT VISION COUPLED WITH TRAFFIC WILL (IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY) RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH TO SOMEONE....THE TWO VISORS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. NISSAN WILL FIX IT (IF UNDER WARRANTY) BUT THEY ARE COUNTING ON THE FAILURE HAPPENING AFTER WARRANTY AND THEN CHARGING A HEFTY PRICE FOR A DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACEMENT, AND/OR HUMAN INGENUITY TO ALLOW OWNERS TO TRY FIX THE PROBLEM THEM SELVES.... VELCRO DOES NOT WORK, SWITCHING VISORS LEADS TO THE "VANITY MIRROR" DOOR FLOPPING DOWN AS WELL..... WE HAVE SUCH AN ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO... IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR NISSAN TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE ON 2006 AND OTHER TEARS WHICH USE PART # 96401 FOR A DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BEFORE THEY ARE FACED WITH A LAWSUIT... A COPY OF THIS COMPLAINT IS GOING TO MY PERSONAL ATTORNEY.... THANK YOU.... *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT IS EITHER UP OR DOWN AND WILL FLIP DOWN ON ITS OWN DURING DRIVING CREATING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. NISSAN WANTS APPROXIMATE $300 FOR A NEW PART THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BEGAN FLIPPING DOWN ON ITS OWN. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AS IT CAN FALL AND OBSTRUCT VISION TEMPORARILY. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE MURANO. *TR

Mileage: 70,000

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT SOMEHOW BROKE UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND WOBBLES TO THE FRONT AND BACK. THEREFORE HAVING TO ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, TURN CORNERS AND GO OVER ROUGH ROAD CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL NOTICE AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SEAT AND FOR MANY, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE SOME OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WHICH FLOPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL PLACE, IT WILL FALL DOWN. THIS CAUSES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THE VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED AND AN ACCIDENT COULD VERY WELL OCCUR. PLEASE ADDRESS THESE DESIGN FLAWS FOR RECALLS. *TR

OUR NISSAN MURANO HAS A DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR THAT FAILS TO REMAIN UP WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, THIS IS NOT ONLY A SURPRISE, IT BLOCKS OUR VIEW SUDDENLY. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE IT EVEN WITH OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE KNOW IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WE HAVE REMOVED IT FROM THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE VISOR UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FLIPS DOWN ON ITS OWN ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FILING A COMPLAINT FORM. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MY FIRST COMPLAINT FORM. I WAS ON THE HIGWAY AGAIN AND IT FELL MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THIS ISN'T JUST MY MURANO WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS VERY TIGHT. THE NEXT TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING SNAPPED AND NOW THE VISOR HANGS EXTREMELY LOOSE. AS I AM DRIVING, IT CONTINUOUSLY FALLS BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT DUE TO REGULAR USE AS I HAVE SEEM MANY COMPLAINTS IN DIFFERENT NISSAN FORUMS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE NEXT TOYOTA AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CRASH AND DIE DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU ARE NOT RECALLING? *TR

SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO STAY UP AND SUDDENLY FALLS. THE DEALER QUOTES $300 PART + 150 LABOR JUST TO REPLACE AND DID NOT GUARANTEE IT WON'T FAILED AGAIN. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEAT COLLAPSING, WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, STEERING HOSES BRAKING CAUSING FIRE, IN VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS, BLOCKING VIEW. I PUSH IT BACK UP AND THE NEXT CRACK IN THE ROAD MAKES IT FALL AGAIN. NISSAN DEALER WANTS OVER $200 TO REPLACE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE SPEED IS. A CRACK OR BUMP IN THE ROAD MAKES IT FALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES PER HOURS THE SUN DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY LOWERED FROM THE "UP" POSITION, COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY THEN THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION AT ALL. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR IN ORDER TO SEE, BUT I AM THEN BLINDED BY THE SUN AT TIMES CREATING AN EQUALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VISOR, JUST A FORCED REPLACEMENT AT $300.00. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BEGAN SWINGING DOWN AND BLOCKING VISION INTERMITTENTLY DURING HIGH SPEED TRAVEL AND BUMPY CONDITIONS. THE VISOR HAS CONTINUED TO DEGRADE AND SWINGS DOWN UNDER ALMOST ANY MOVEMENT. I HAD A QUOTE FROM A MECHANIC TO REPLACE THIS ITEM, BUT THE COST SEEMS EXCESSIVE. THE VISOR IS CURRENTLY HELD IN PLACE WITH DUCT TAPE/ VELCRO, BUT THE HOME FIX IS NOT EFFECTIVE OR LONG LASTING. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE DROP; MOSTLY OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IF THE ROAD IS A LITTLE BUMPY IT FALLS DOWN A LOT! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS SO OFTEN AND I LIVE IN A BIGGER CITY AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC ON A REGULAR BASIS, IT CAUSES MY LINE OF SIGHT TO BE EXTREMELY OBSTRUCTED AS I AM A TALLER PERSON AND ALREADY HAVE MY SEAT DOWN AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WHEN THE VISOR DROPS. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANOS. I HAVE FOUND FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM THAT I AM OF 2006 AND OTHER MODEL YEARS WHERE IT FAILS TO STAY UP. THE TENSION OR SPRING IN THE SUN VISOR IS GONE JUST LIKE THAT AND IT FALLS AND BLOCKS VISION WHILE DRIVING. IT FALLS JUST DRIVING REGULARLY, AND ALTHOUGH DRIVERS NEED VISION ALWAYS AND CONSTANTLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT ALSO FALLS AT TIMES THAT ARE MOST DANGEROUS WHEN VISION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, I.E. ANY DRIVING ON ROUGH SURFACES, ANY MANEUVERING TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, UNEVEN ROADWAYS, UNEXPECTED BRAKING OR EVEN JUST TURNING. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CONSUMERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT THAT NISSAN QUOTES WHEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WARRANTY ABOUT SUN VISORS OR PROBLEMS IMPACTING VISIBILITY. THE SEAT BELT IS A SAFETY ITEM AND IS COVERED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, 120 MONTHS (10 YEARS)! THE SUN VISOR BLOCKING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING SHOULD BE ALONG THE SAME LINES AS THAT REGARDING WARRANTY, AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS IT IS OR ISN'T. I AM DEALING WITH NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT NOW BUT DO NOT HAVE HOPES OF GETTING THIS RESOLVED WITH THEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A VERY EXPENSIVE BALLAST FOR THE DRIVER SIDE HID BULB (COST ONLY MITIGATED BY BUYING USED), THE FUEL SENSOR, HAVE A RATTLING WINDOW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THE DEALER FIXED BUT THE FIX DIDN'T LAST, AND HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT AND SERVICED THE CAR FROM. IT'S ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER AND I HAVE NOT FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE OTHER ITEMS, BUT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S TIME TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN. IT IS NOT AN OLD CAR, THERE IS NO REASON I, OR ANY OF THE OTHER MURANO OWNERS SHOULD BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR THIS SERIOUS VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING ISSUE.

MY HUSBAND NOTICED AROUND 65,000 MILES THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T STAY UP. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. PROBABLY EVERY FIVE MINUTES OF DRIVING. IF THE ROAD IS BUMPY, FORGET IT. IT JUST SLAMS DOWN, AFFECTING MY LINE OF SIGHT. MY FATHER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR, BECAUSE OF IT. ALL I CAN DO IS FLIP BACK UP AND TURN IT TO A SLIGHT ANGLE. PAYING 300 DOLLARS FOR A NEW VISOR IS UNREALISTIC. EVERY NISSAN FORUM SAYS THEY JUST BREAK AGAIN. I'M THINKING OF BUYING A DIFFERENT CAR, BECAUSE OF IT. *KB

THIS COMPLAINT REGARDS THE SUNVISORS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CURRENT SUNVISOR FAILS TO STAY UP (PARALLEL WITH VEHICLE ROOF) OR CANTED. IT FALLS CONSTANTLY, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE ROADWAY FOR DRIVERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONFIGURATION OF THE VISOR IS SUCH THAT IT IS LIKELY TO FALL WHEN DRIVER'S NEED THEIR VISION THE MOST-- UPON HITTING UNEVEN OR ROCKY PAVEMENT, STRIKING DEBRIS IN THE ROAD, OR MAKING NECESSARY EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD WITH NISSAN MURANOS, AS SEVERAL FORUMS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE ARE VISIBLE ON THE INTERNET. ONE SUCH FORUM IS NISSANMURANO.ORG. THE SITE LISTS APPROXIMATELY ELEVEN PAGES OF CAR OWNERS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CURRENT REMEDY SUGGESTED BY NISSAN IS A $500 REPLACEMENT VISOR, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS FIGURE SEEMS UNREASONABLE FOR THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM, ITS WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE, AND THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING AN INTERNAL VEHICLE ACCESSORY FALL OVER THE EYES OF THE DRIVER AT ANY MOMENT. *TR

THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF THE DRIVER-SIDE VISOR IN OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP - IT FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. DRIVERS ARE EITHER FORCED TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH THE OTHER; OR DRIVING WITH A VERY RESTRICTED VIEW OF THE ROAD WITH THE VISOR HANGING DOWN. REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE NO BETTER - THEY FAIL WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF BEING INSTALLED. ACCORDING TO WEBSITES WE HAVE VISITED, THE DESIGN DEFECT OF THE VISOR IS COMMON AMONG NISSAN MURANO MODELS OF MANY OTHER YEARS ALSO. *TR

Mileage: 5,000

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT LOCK IN THE UP POSITION. THIS CAUSES IT TO FALL DOWN INTO THE FIELD OF VIEW AND IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS AS IT CAN BLOCK YOU VISION WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT COSTS UPWARDS OF $400 TO DO THE REPAIR. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS AND HAVE EVEN HEARD FROM DEALERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2003. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT COULD CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT. *TR

Mileage: 52,500

MY DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR FLOPS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY POSITIONED CORRECTLY TO SHIELD THE SUN. I EITHER HAVE TO DRIVE W/O THE VISOR AND BE BLINDED BY THE SUN OR I HAVE MY VIEW OBSTRUCTED FROM THE FLOPPY SUNVISOR BEING RIGHT IN MY LINE OF VISION. THE FAILURE OCCURS ANYTIME I TRY AND USE THE VISOR. THIS STARTED WHEN MY MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND I DRIVE A 2006 MURANO. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. MY NISSAN DEALER QUOTED ME AT $433.18 TO REPAIR THE VISOR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN MURANOS. *TR

SUN VISORS IN 2006 NISSAN MURANO FAIL REPEATEDLY ANED WILL FLOP DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ONGOING SINCE AT LEAST 2005 MODELS NOT LIITED TO MURANO ONLY. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH POSTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND DEALERSHIPS ARE REPLACING WITH THE SAME PART THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY AS THESE NEW VISORS FAIL AS WELL. IT STARTED WHEN ONLY HITTING A BUMP. NOW IT OCCURS DURING NORMAL DRIVING INCLDUING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.

FLOPPY SUN VISORS 2006 NISSAN MURANO. BOTH SUN VISORS WILL NO LONGER REMAIN IN PLACE. THEY IMPAIR/BLOCK SIGHT AND ARE VERY DISTRACTING. THIS MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS YOU HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING WITH THE VISORS TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. MANY, MANY OTHER MURANO DRIVERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS/RECALL BEFORE MAJOR ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL SINCE YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE FLOPPY VISOR OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT WITH A VISOR CONSTANTLY IN YOUR WAY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IT IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN MALFUNCTION. THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS BAD AS PEOPLE DRIVING WHILE ON THEIR CELL PHONES. DANGEROUS. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 06 NISSAN MURANO FALLS DOWN CONSTANTLY BLOCKING MY VIEW WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BUT NOW THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY UP FOR HALF AN HOUR AND THEN OTHER TIMES IT FALLS EVERY 5 MINUTES. *TR

Mileage: 19,000

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN AN UP POSITION THIS PROBLEM INTERFERES WITH MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. TODAY I TOOK MY MURANO IN FOR SERVICE WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THAT IT WOULD COST ME $420 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING AND REPLACING THESE VISORS IMMEDIATELY.

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER & PASSENGER SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE MECHANISM FOR THE SUN VISOR MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN PLACED IN THE UP, LOCKED IN POSITION (NOT IN USE) IT PULLS AWAY AND HANGS LOOSELY. WHEN PLACED DOWNWARD TO BLOCK THE SUN THE VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN A LOCKED AND ANGLED POSITION. IT HAS SUDDENLY DROPPED AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MAY RESULT IN AN AUTO COLLISION. I LIVE IN COLORADO WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR DAYS ARE SUNNY. I AM OFTEN FORCED TO SUPPORT THE SUN VISOR BY HOLDING IT IN PLACE WITH MY LEFT HAND WHILE DRIVING ONLY WITH MY RIGHT HAND. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, AS A DRIVER SHOULD HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, I WEAR SUNGLASSES HOWEVER, THE SUNS GLARE IS OFTEN SO INTENSE THAT THE VISOR IS NECESSARY ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN I AM DRIVING WEST TOWARDS THE SUNSET. THE LAST TIME MY VISOR MALFUNCTIONED WAS YESTERDAY, 10/1/10 WHILE COMMUTING IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (5PM MST).

I THEN CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YRS. OLD AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR WOULD BE $458.00. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A LESS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT VISOR I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, FROM AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2004. THE VISOR HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. THIS SUN VISOR, IN IT'S PRESENT CONDITION, CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING AN AUTO ACCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. RECENTLY, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT HOLD A DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT. IT STAYS (FOR NOW) IN THE UPWARD POSITION BUT WHEN I PUT IT DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN IT DANGLES, IS THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT IN THE POSITION NEEDED TO BLOCK THE SUN. IT IS EITHER ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN, NO POSITION IN BETWEEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR TWO REASONS. TAKING ONE HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT USING THE VISOR WHEN I HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL IS BLINDING. IF A CAR, PERSON OR ANIMAL SHOULD MOVE INTO MY PATH I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THEM WITHOUT THE VISOR DOWN. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DRIVING UP THE HILL HOME IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. IT IS GETTING WEAKER WHEN HOLDING THE UPWARD POSITION, IT WILL GET TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. WHEN I ASKED THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT REPAIRING IT I WAS GIVEN A PRICE OF $450.00 JUST FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR CAUSING IT TO FALL IN THE DRIVER'S FACE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO USE VELCRO OR HOLD UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING.

THE VISOR MALFUNCTION STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 50K MILES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER NISSAN'S WARRANTY. THE VISOR CAN BE REPLACED, BUT AT A COST OF NEAR $500.

AS I WENT OVER THE TRACKS APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR DROPPED OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF TRAFFIC. I NEARLY MISSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SUNVISOR FALLING INTO THE DRIVERS VIEW AT RANDOM IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE SUNVISORS TO FAIL. A REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER IS ABOUT $500. NISSAN DOES NOT SEE THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THIS AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE DANGEROUS SUNVISORS ONCE OUT OF THE 3 YEAR 36000 MILE WARRANTY. MINE FAILED AT 3 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS, WITH 32000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I TELL YOU ABOUT THE ONE TIME I ALMOST WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SUNVISOR, BUT IT FALLS DOWN IN MY FACE ON A REGULAR BASIS. ABOUT EVERY 20 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR DANGEROUS SUNVISORS, THEY CAN DROP DOWN IN THE DRIVERS VIEW AT ANY TIME. I NEARLY HIT A LADY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. *TR

DRIVER'S-SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY BECAME UNABLE TO STAY AT A SECURE ANGLE, WHICH CAUSES A RECURRING VISIBILITY PROBLEM. IT NO LONGER STAYS AT A SECURE POSITION IF IT IS NOT FLIPPED UP FLAT AGAINST THE HEADLINER. THIS PRECLUDES USING IT AS INTENDED TO BLOCK SUN FROM SHINING DIRECTLY INTO DRIVER'S EYES. IF NOT FLAT AGAINST THE HEADLINER, IT ONLY HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS LINE-OF-SIGHT WHILE DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VISOR'S END IS SECURED OR NOT IN ITS CLIP. TO AVOID SUN SHINING DIRECTLY AND UNSAFELY INTO EYES, IT'S NECESSARY TO HOLD THE VISOR AT NECESSARY ANGLE WITH ONE HAND, LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT MAY SOUND LIKE A MINOR PROBLEM - - UNTIL YOU REGULARLY EXPERIENCE HAVING TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN BEING LITERALLY BLINDED BY THE SUN WHILE DRIVING OR HAVING TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD THE VISOR UP. IT IS NO LONGER COVERED BY MY NOW-EXPIRED 36 MO/3 YR WARRANTY. DEALERS ESTIMATE TO REPAIR: $400.00. *TR

SUN VISOR ON 2006 MURANO DOES NOT STAY UP OR IN THE PROPER PLACE. I HAVE TO EITHER HOLD OR USE MY HAND AS A SHIELD FROM GLARE OF SUN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. I ALWAYS FELT THAT THE INTERIOR QUALITY OF THE MURANO WAS GOOD. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS SUDDENLY DROP WITHOUT WARNING; WHEN NEEDED TO BLOCK THE SUN WHEN DRIVING THEY DO NOT STAY IN PLACE, THEY JUST HANG STRAIGHT DOWN. THE VISORS STARTED FALLING WITHIN 1 MONTH OF EACH OTHER; IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; REPLACEMENTS COST $400 APIECE. I FEEL THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE AND UNREASONABLE AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL AS IT CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN DURING DRIVING. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN DRIVERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME AND DIFFERENT YEAR MODEL.

TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COMPLETELY STOP WORKING UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ICE WENT DOWN BELOW THE HOOD, AND IT STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM WORKING. THE ICE PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN COME BACK UP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MUST BE ABLE TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK PROPERLY. SHE WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED, BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IN A STORM. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SHE SHOULD LIFT THE HOOD AND CLEAN THE AREA WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE IN ANOTHER STORM, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AGAIN. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CONTACT WAS IN A BAD STORM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE BOTH 4600 .*AK UPDATE *4/23/07 *TR
