2006 Nissan Murano Visibility

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 SUNVISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AND CAUSE GREAT DISTRACTION AND LOW VISIBILITY. *TR

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP. CONSTANTLY COMING DOWN AND OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE. *JS

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

SUN VISOR LEFT SIDE. *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

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

VISOR FALLS INTO VISION WHENEVER YOU HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE. *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

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 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 VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONSTANTLY FALLS DOWN PROHIBITING THE DRIVER FROM SEEING THE ROAD. IT WILL NOT STAY UP FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE HAVE REPORTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO ME AS WELL. *JB

THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VIEW. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *JB

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD REPEATEDLY FALL FROM ITS HOUSING, OBSCURING THE CONTACT'S VISION OF THE ROADWAY. 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. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/05/12 *BF UPDATED 06/07/12 *JS

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

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

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

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR BEGAN TO DROP WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP, GOING OVER ROUGH ROADS AND AT RANDOM TIMES. NOW IT DROPS ALL THE TIME CAUSING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER TO BE BLOCKED AND CAUSING POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRENTY BUT ITS NOT COVERED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WOULD COST $520.00. THIS ISSUE MUST BE SOLVED FOR SAFETY REASONS. WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS NISSAN SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *TT

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

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.
