2006 Nissan Murano Visibility & Wipers Problems

SUNVISOR NOT STAYING IN PLACE, FALLS TO IMPAIR VISIBILITY. BOTH SUNVISORS HAVE FAILED AND WILL NOT STAY UP, OR IN A POSITION. NISSAN IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE SAFETY OF ITS OWNERS/DRIVERS.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY FELL DOWNWARD AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE DRIVING OBSTRUCTING VIEW. NISSAN STATES NOT A PROBLEM, AND NOT A RECALL, AND NO WAY TO FIX . THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE SUN VISOR FLIPS IN FRONT OF YOU TO BLOCK YOUR VISION AND THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO INVOLVE IN ACCIDENT? NISSAN SHOULD RECALL IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. *TR

THE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT WILL DROP DOWN, AND IT TAKES THE DRIVERS ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET THE VISOR OUT OF YOUR FIELD OF VIEW. SEEM VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS NO CRASH, BUT WAS VERY VERY CLOSE TO ONE. SCARY! *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY CAME DOWN SO AS TO BLOCK MY VISION OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THIS STARTLED ME AND DISTRACTED ME WHILE I FLIPPED IT BACK TO ITS NORMAL UP POSITION. HOWEVER IT DID NOT STAY UP. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND IS ABOUT $250 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. TO THIS DAY IT WILL STAY UP FOR AWHILE BUT WILL COME DOWN ESPECIALLY IF IT IS WARM IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

SUNVISOR IS LOOSE AND DROPS DOWN IMPAIRING MY VISION WITH NO PRACTICAL MEANS OF TIGHTENING IT.

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

MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SUDDENLY DECIDED TO KEEP FALLING DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. IT SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY DOWNWARD. WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE OTHER DAY IT JUST FELL ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS WAS WHILE CHANGING LANES AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DISTRACTION AND THE VISIBILITY ISSUES. I HAVE THE GOLD EXTENDED PREFERRED WARRANTY, AND NISSAN STATES IT ISN'T COVERED, YET I DON'T AGREE THAT IT IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. I DON'T EVEN USE THE VISOR ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE WORN AND TORN....I THINK IT JUT FAILS OVER TIME, PERHAPS DUE TO HEAT FROM THE SUN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS ACTUALLY FILED HERE AT NHTSA AND THE POSTINGS FOUND ONLINE. A GOODWILL WARRANTY PROGRAM WOULD SEEM TO BE IN ORDER HERE AT THE MINIMUM. *TR

SUN VISOR LEFT SIDE. *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

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

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN IMPAIRING HER VISION. THIS CAUSED HER TO SCRAPE THE PASSENGER SIDE RIMS ON THE CURB. I BELIEVE IT IS NOW OUT OF ALIGNMENT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE VISOR IT'S SELF (ALTHOUGH IT IS REALLY HEAVY) BUT WHERE IT ACTUALLY MOUNTS TO THE CEILING. WHY NISSAN WILL NOT OWN UP TO THIS AND CORRECT THE ISSUE IS BEYOND ME? GUESS THEY DON'T REALLY CARE CAUSE THE ALREADY GOT YOUR MONEY. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON MY MURANO CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN WON'T STEP UP TO FIX THE ISSUE. WHAT'S WORSE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU $400 PER VISOR TO FIX THE ISSUE. WHY WON'T THE NHTSA STEP IN TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED? *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

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DROPS EVER TIME YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT, IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

VISORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP. *TR

QUESTION FIRST, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE A SAFETY RECALL? I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR THAT WON'T STAY UP OR WHEN DOWN WON'T SAY PUSHED AGAINST THE WINDOW IT JUST FLOPS STRAIGHT DOWN. THIS CAUSES A REAL SAFETY HAZARD.. EVEN WHEN YOU PUSH IT TO THE SIDE IT CAUSES VISION PROBLEMS. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS OR ATLEAST NOT GOUGE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT REPLACED. IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN IGNORE AND FIX LATER BUT AT $500.00 IT'S ROBBERY, I ALSO HAD MY WINDOW MOTOR GO OUT AND IT COST $500.00 WHICH HAD TO BE FIXED. I NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VISOR WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION. *TR

THE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY DROPPED BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. IT THEN WOULD NOT STAY UP. THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE VISOR ITSELF IS FAULTY. *TR

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT APPROXIMATELY FOUR DAYS AGO. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED AND DUE TO THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED NATURE OF THE SUN VISOR DROPPING DOWN THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR
