NHTSA Complaint #10326928 — 2004 NISSAN MURANO

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR HAS BECOME LOOSE - WILL NOT RELIABLY STAY IN POSITION WHEN IN ANY POSITION EXCEPT A FULLY UPRIGHT ONE. WHEN LOWERED TO A SHADE POSITION IT WILL DROP LOWER AND BLOCK MY DRIVING VIEW. THIS CAN HAPPEN SLOWLY ON A SMOOTH ROAD OR SUDDENLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP. 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
