NISSAN SAN LEANDRO CA DEALERSHIP SAID A ROCK MUST HAVE HIT IT. THERMO WENT OUT 2013. PAID NEW THERMO. LEFT THE DEALERSHIP STILL OVERHEAT. RETURNED TOLD STUCK GASKET ON NEW THERMO? UNDER WARRANT 10YR WHY NOT COVERED? 2011 WHILE DRIVIN NO WARNING CAR DECELERATED POWER WENT OFF@ 35. NISSAN DIDN'T ALERT ME TO ALTERNATOR RECALL I PAID 4 NEW ALTERNATOR. WHY WASN'T WARRANTY COVERED? IM ASK 4 REIMBURSEMENT FOR 650. NISSAN TOLD ME MY VIN ISN'T ON RECALL BULLETIN. PUT CLAIM INTO NISSAN CONSUMER AFF NOT REIMBURSE ME. CLAIM IN AUTO BUREAU [XXX] REP NOT REIMBURSE ME. NOW STEER PWR HOS BROKE RACK. REAR TIRES WEAR DIFF? NISSAN SAID DUE 2 FRONT WHL DR? MY OIL DRK NOW....

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

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...

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

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 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

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...

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

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....

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN UPRIGHT AND WAS OBSTRUCTING HER VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 58,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONSUMER STATED HER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 16, 2011. UPDATED 01/18/12

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SUN VISOR WOULD FALL DOWN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THE VISOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FRACTURED AND CONSISTENTLY FELL DOWN, OBSCURING THE DRIVERS VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

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...

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...

SUN VISOR ON 2006 NISSAN MURONO WILL NOT STAY UP. FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS VISION. *TT

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

1DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR DROPS WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP, GOING OVER ROUGH ROADS AND AT RANDOM TIMES. IT DROPS IN THE VISION OF THE DRIVER CAUSING POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. THIS ISSUE MUST BE SOLVED FOR SAFETY REASONS. WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS NISSAN SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *KB

SUN VISOR KEEPS DROPPING DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT BLOCKS THE ABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT (LIKE A RECALL). *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

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

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...

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

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE SUN VISOR FELL AND STRUCK THE CONTACT HARD ON THE HEAD. THE FAILURE WAS A CONTINUOUS OCCURRENCE OVER A SPAN OF THREE MONTHS. THE FAILURE PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE SUN VISOR WOULD HANG OPEN FROM THE ASSEMBLY AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000. UPDATED 04/05/11*LJ UPDATED 04/28/11

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILURE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO - DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FLOPS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THE CLIP IS FINE - IT STAYS IN THE CLIP. HOWEVER, IT DOES FALL DOWN OVER THE ROD. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. COST TO REPLACE/FIX IS $400+. *TR

WHEN YOU TRY TO USE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR, IT WILL ONLY WORK IN THE COMPLETELY DOWN POSITION. AS I AM 5'-7" TALL, THE VISOR IN THIS POSITION ALMOST COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW. SOME OTHER TIMES IT JUST DROPS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2006. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FALL DOWN WHEN I GO OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR DIPS. I PUSH THEM BACK IN PLACE, AND AS I AM DRIVING THEY START WORKING THEIR WAY TO THE DOWN POSITION. DEALER SAYS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY AS DEFECT IN PART WORKMANSHIP. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADMIT PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. *LN
