2007 NISSAN MURANO Visibility Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HIGH AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE THROUGH THE PLASTIC LIGHT COVERS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR CONSTANTLY FLOPS DOWN WHEN DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNSAFE, AND COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WAS EXTREMELY COMPROMISED WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR INADVERTENTLY CAME DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH IT THIS WAY FOR THE REST OF MY TRIP (OVER 2 HOURS) WITH HEAVY RAIN. IT WAS DANGEROUS AS MY VISIBILITY WAS SUBSTANTIALLY OBSTRUCTED WITH THE VISOR. A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS IS A SOMEWHAT COMMON OCCURRENCE DUE TO POOR VISOR DESIGN AND NISSAN SEEMS TO BE OVERLOOKING THE ISSUE. REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND SEEM TO FAIL ALIKE IN THE SAME SPOT (THE ARM HEADLINER ATTACHMENT). IF NISSAN WON'T RE-ENGINEER THE PART TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BOUND TO REOCCUR. *TR

LEFT VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN CAUSING RESTRICTED VIEW. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THIS COMPLAINT, BUT READING THE BULLETIN BOARDS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. I KNOW TWO OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE OF THE REMOVED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THE INTERIOR IS NOT LISTED ON YOUR CHOICES SO I PICKED BODY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY DROP DOWN FROM THE HORIZONTAL POSITION WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER MINOR BUMP IMPAIRING THE DRIVERS VISION. SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF VISIBILITY CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF THEM UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP TO THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. *TR

DRVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPS SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING OBSTRUCTING VIEW. IT DROPS AGAIN EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. *TR

AT SPEEDS FROM 15 MPH AND UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS DRIVER SUN VISOR IS DROPPING DOWN ON MINOR BUMPS ON THE ROAD COVERING DRIVER VISIBILTY. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP AND FALLS INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY. *JS

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ON THE SUN VISOR. BOTH OF THE VISORS, DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT STAY UP, FLOPPED DOWN, DUE TO HOW OUTRAGEOUS THE PRICES ARE, I HAVE BEEN VELCRO/HOT GLUING IT TO KEEP IT UP. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO YEARS AND I JUST NOW SUCCUMBED TO PURCHASING NEW VISORS. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A CONSUMER HAS TO PAY $386.63 FOR PARTS THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT FROM NISSAN. SAFETY ISSUE WISE, OUR HEAD HITS THE VISORS AS IT WOULD NOT STAY UP. NISSAN REALLY NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND FIX/REPAY WHAT WE HAVE PURCHASED. I AM NOT THE FIRST AND I KNOW I WILL NOT THE LAST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I AM SEEKING RESTITUTION, AND I WILL GO TO ANY CONSUMER COMPLAIN SITE TO SPREAD THIS ISSUE UNTIL THERE ARE RESULTS. NOT A HAPPY NISSAN CUSTOMER, [XXX]...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SUN VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN AND OBSTRUCT HIS VISION WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FAILED TO STAY IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE VISOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 84000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO FIVE TOWNS NISSAN THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM, MY TRANSFER CASE IS NOT GOOD. THE TRANSFER CASE, SEAL-OIL AND SEAL- OIL RING WOULD BE $2750.82. LABOR AND TAX WOULD BE BRING IT TO $4074.33. NOW WE ALL KNOW OWNERS OF THIS VERY CUTE VEHICLE THAT IT HAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF TO COME FORTH SO THE WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

THE VISORS WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP OR STOW POSITION CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER. IT WILL BLOCK THE DRIVER'S VISION WHEN IT FALLS. THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES. THE NISSAN MURANO SL AWD I OWN WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE DEALER IS WANTING $300.00 OR MORE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH NO HELP WITH THE COST FROM NISSAN. *TT

VISOR, DRIVER SIDE CONTINUALLY FALLS DOWN. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED. WILL NOT RETRACT AND STAY UP. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN DOWN POSITION. EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY, NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER IT. VISOR HAS TO BE HELD BY HAND WHILE DRIVING TO STAY IN CORRECT POSITION. IF NOT HELD, THEN VISOR MOVES OUT OF POSITION SOMETIMES BLOCKING VIEW OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND VEHICLES AHEAD. *KB

THIS IS A 2007 MURANO PURCHASED NEW IN 2008. ON SEPTEMBER 12, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (25 MPH) THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR LOST ITS GRIP AND FELL TO A HANGING POSITION. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE NISSAN FORUMS AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MURANOS DATING BACK TO 2004. HOWEVER, DESPITE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS, I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THE PART/REPAIR IS REALLY EXPENSIVE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. I USED TO KEEP MY SEAT UP HIGH BECAUSE I'M SHORT, AND IT HELPED ME HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF THE ROAD. I'VE LOWERED MY SEAT BECAUSE WHEN THE VISOR FALLS IT COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW. THE VISOR HAS STARTED FALLING AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT EVEN HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, WHERE THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ABRUPTLY FALLS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. IT HAPPENS NOW CONTINUOUSLY. *KB

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTINGLY AND CAUSES THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER TO BE BLOCKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASSIONS THAT ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NISSAN WEBISTE BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT RECALL THIS ITEM. TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR IS $350-500. *TT

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ABRUPTLY FALLS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. *TR

NORMAL BUMPS IN ROAD CAUSE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR TO DROP AND OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VISION. PART APPEARS TO BE UN-AVAILABLE AND/OR WAY OVER PRICED FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL WITHIN THE FIRST SEVEAL YEARS OF OPERATION. TYPICAL SUN VISORS ARE PRICED FROM $50 TO $200. NISSAN WANT OVER $350.00 FOR ONE. *TR

WHEN I LOCK MY DOORS THEY GO DOWN ALL BY THEMSELVES. YESTERDAY THEY WENT DOWN THE CAR GOT SOAKED INSIDE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN REACH THEIR HAND IN AND OPEN THE DOORS. CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD. SHOULDNT BE HAVING THESE MAJOR REPAIR PROBLEMS. SO FAR STRESS CRACKED WINDSHIELD, SQUEALING BRAKES, NOW ALL FOUR WINDOWS GOING DOWN AFTER I LOCK IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHAT IF THE DOORS LOCK AND THE WINDOWS DECIDE NOT TOGO DOWN ANYMORE SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VERY DISTURBING FAILURE .BELOW IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU A CHOICE TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME EXPLAIN NOW. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF DRIVERS FACE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING BLOCKING OF VIEW. VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION AND CONSTANTLY FALLS DOWN. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND IS OVERCHARGING CUSTOMER FOR THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT WHICH HAS THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT DROOPS DOWN INTERMITTENT BLOCKING SIGHT OF VIEW. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT TIME WHEN THE SUN VISOR IS IN THE DOWN POSITION ALL THE TIME. THIS IS ON A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WILL BE ~$500 AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO SL. DRIVER'S SUN VISOR ROTATED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND BLOCKED DRIVER'S VISION. NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. VISOR ROTATES ON SHAFT AND WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. NOTHING LED UP TO THIS. ONE DAY IT WENT FROM WORKING PERFECTLY TO FALLING DOWN FOR NO REASON. IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY AND REDUCES MY FIELD OF VISION. I HAVE NOT YET HAD IT REPLACED BUT UNDERSTAND THE COST IS OVER $300. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDIATE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON 2007 NISSAN MURANO IS BROKEN, CAUSING SUN VISOR TO FLOP DOWN WHILE DRIVING CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT NOT ONLY STARTLES ME WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT IT ALSO BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA CHARGES $404 FOR THE PART ALONE AND AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE IF THEY ALSO INSTALL IT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION. *TR

THE DRIVER SUN VISOR ON THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO DOESN'T STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION (AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD). VISOR DROPS DOWN TO A 90 DEGREE ANGLE FROM THE ROOF IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S EYE SIGHT. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN ON IT'S OWN WHICH IS CAUSING VISIBILITY DISTRACTIONS TO DRIVER. *TR

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR THAT DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE, ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE SHE WAS STARTLED WHEN IT DROPPED DOWN. THE COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $300 SO WE ARE TRYING WAYS TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING DOWN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO S AWD FLOPPING SUN VISOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL FROM THE LATCH HOOKS, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE DEALER MADE UNKNOWN REPAIRS TO THE VISOR YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD MY LIFT LINK WAS BROKEN. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT PRIOR TO BRINGING CAR IN. HE TOLD ME NISSAN MURANO HAD A HISTORY OF THIS DEFECT. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS DEFECT. I QUESTION WHY THE DEALER FAILED TO TELL ME THIS UPON LEASING THE 2007 MURANO AND SECONDLY HOW IT JUST HAPPENED TO BREAK DURING A VISIT. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE LIFT LINK KEEPS THE SEAT IN A STABLE POSITION. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO SHOW THE CONSUMER THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND COULD BE DANGEROUS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE...

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN IN MY LINE OF VISION WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR IN 2007 NISSAN MURANO UNEXPECTEDLY DROPS FROM STOWED (UP) POSITION INTO LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN, SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ ON FORUMS AND THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS, AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ THEY WANT TO RIP YOU OFF ON PRICE FOR A NEW ONE. YOU LOSE YOUR TOTAL VISION OF THE ROAD WHEN IT FALLS. IT FALLS VERY OFTEN, ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD SUDDENLY FALL AND DISTRACT HER VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT HAD THE SUN VISOR REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 64000.

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SUNVISOR DOES NOT REMAIN IN RETRACTED (STOWED) POSITION. SUNVISOR ROTATES ABOUT PIVOT ROD DUE TO ROAD VIBRATION AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS EXACERBATED WITH NIGHT TIME DRIVING OR IN BAD WEATHER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THE SUNVISOR RETRACT CAM MECHANISM. THE SUNVISOR UNIT CANNOT BE REPAIRED, IT MUST BE REPLACED AND IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED DIRECTLY AND REFUSES TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALED MANY SIMILAR FAILURES IN MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS AND 116 REPORTS ARE ON FILE WITH NHTSA AS OF THIS WRITING. THIS SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THESE DEFECTIVE SUNVISORS. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION; THEREFORE, CAUSING ME DRIVING HAZARD. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WANT $400 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I AM FINDING THAT THERE ARE MANY MURANO OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE PART NISSAN USED MUST BE DEFECTIVE. I EVEN ASKED SOMEONE IN MY OFFICE THAT ALSO OWNS A MURANO AND HE TOO IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SUNVISOR IN MY MURANO. I KNOW IT IS REALLY COMMON PROBLEM IN MURANOS. AS YOU REALIZE IT IS SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE IT WILL BE RECALL FOR SUNVISOR IN MURANO.*TR

FOR EIGHT MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY CAR WINDOWS GOING DOWN MYSTERIOUSLY. NISSAN, MURANO, 2007, SL, TOURING PACKAGE, 4 DOORS W/HATCH. OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, SHUT OFF, LOCKED AND NO ONE INSIDE IT; IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER (HOT, COLD, DRY, WET); WHEN PARKED INDOORS OR OUTSIDE. TWO FRONT WINDOWS ALWAYS MYSTERIOUSLY GO DOWN BUT ON SOME OCCASIONS REAR WINDOWS GO DOWN TOO ALONG WITH FRONT ONES. I THOUGHT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR, BUT HAVE RULED IT OUT AFTER HOW FREQUENT IT OCCURS. TWO MONTHS AGO IT OCCURRED WHEN PARKED OUTDOORS; A HEAVY RAIN STORM OCCURRED SOAKED THE VEHICLE AND REQUIRED PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TO REMOVE WATER. A MONTH AGO IT OCCURRED PARKED AT A BUSY MALL PARKING LOT. I WAS SHOCKED TO COME OUT AND FIND THE WINDOWS DOWN AND CAR NOT SECURE. THREE WEEKS AGO IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT PARKED OUTDOORS; IT WAS FILLED WITH DEBRIS...
