2005 Nissan Murano Visibility

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND BOTH SUN VISORS KEEP FALLING. I'VE TRIED VELCRO AND EVEN GLUE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THESE FAULTY VISORS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY TEND TO FALL WHEN I AM DRIVING AND MOMENTARILY OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. I'VE COME CLOSE ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE VISORS IS EXORBITANT ($350 OR MORE EA) AND WHILE RESEARCHING WHERE TO BUY THEM CHEAP OR EVEN A METHOD OF REPAIR FOR THIS DEFECT I'VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE NISSAN OWNERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE SUN VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS TO FULL DOWN POSITION BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. INTERNET INQUIRY SHOWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS QUOTED UP TO $400.00 FOR REPLACEMENT VISOR.(SEARCH: MURANO SUN VISOR). *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE STOWED POSITION. IT FALLS DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT OBSTRUCTING HIS/HER VISION. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, SURPRISING THE DRIVER, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE WAY, ONE HAND MUST BE USED TO HOLD IT UP, LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND TO DRIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND CONTINUED TO FALL IN HER FACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE COST TO REPAIR THE SUN VISOR WAS $400. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 03/08/11

MY SUN VISOR HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW. IT'S ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IF A TALL PERSON IS DRIVING YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT UP FOR THEM SO THEY CAN SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A 05 NIACIN MURANO AND ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING BLOG, SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOME HAVE SPENT 400.00 TO REPLACE IT ONLY FOR IT TO BREAK AGAIN. HTTP://WWW.NISSANFORUMS.COM/TRUCK-SUV/113557-MURANO-SUN-VISOR-FAILURE.HTML *LN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN EVERY TIME HE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSAGER SIDE SWING DOWN AND BLOCK THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE VISORS IS $800.00, AT THIS COST IT MAKES YOU THING NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CHOOSES TO MAKE A PROFIT ON THESE INSTEAD ON CONSIDERING THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AFTER READING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS. *LN

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND HAVE UNCOVERED A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SUN VISORS ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND KEEP FLIPPING COMPLETELY DOWN AND BLOCKING THE VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. IN SOME OF THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, YOUR VISION GETS COMPLETELY BLOCKED UNTIL YOU FLIP IT BACK UP. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW, RAIN, HEAVY TRAFFIC, OR AT NIGHT. SOMETIMES IT CAN DROP 2 - 3 TIMES A MINUTE. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THOUSANDS OF 2003 TO 2007 MURANOS. REPLACING THE SUN VISOR IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE AT $400 EACH AND SINCE THIS FLAW HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AT ALL BY NISSAN, YOU ARE ONLY REPLACING A DEFECTIVE VISOR WITH A NEW ONE THAT WILL BECOME DEFECTIVE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND THE REPLACEMENT ONE IS NOW DROPPING AGAIN. NISSAN HAS A TSB TO REPLACE THE CLIP THAT HOLDS THE MIRROR SIDE OF THE VISOR BUT THAT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECTIVE VISOR, NOT THE CLIP. THE VISOR SHAFT THAT INSERTS INTO THE CLIP LOOSENS INSIDE THE VISOR AND ROTATES, AND THAT IS THE DEFECT. THE WEIGHT OF THE VISOR EASILY OVERCOMES ANY FRICTION THE SHAFT HAS INSIDE THE VISOR AND DOWN IT COMES. NISSAN REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY DEFECT. THEY WON'T COVER IT ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTEES. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY HAZARD. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT THROW $400 TO NISSAN EVERY 2 - 3 YEARS TO REPLACE EACH SINGLE VISOR WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ONE? THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALSO NOW DROPPING. NISSAN HAS RECENTLY RAISED THE PRICE CONSIDERABLY TO GOUGE AND CAPITALIZE ON THEIR POOR DESIGN. RIGHT NOW I HAVE THE VISOR TIE WRAPPED TO THE SIDE HANDLE AND THAT MAKES THE VISOR COMPLETELY USELESS. IF I REPLACE BOTH AGAIN, I WILL HAVE SPENT $1200 SO FAR ON VISORS TO ONLY EXPECT TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN IN 2012-2013. $1200 IS A RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR REPLACING DEFECTIVE VISORS WITH NEW DEFECTIVE ONES. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO DISCONNECTED AND BLOCKED MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THEN IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE AND IS A CONSTANT DISTURBANCE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. IF YOU COMPLAIN ENOUGH, SOME DEALERS HAVE REPLACED IT FOR NO CHARGE. IN MY CASE I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $320 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

IT WILL NOT STAY WHERE IT SHOULD, EITHER UP OR DOWN, AND IS PRACTICALLY IN THE DRIVER'S FACE WHEN IT FALLS. EVIDENTLY IT IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS OCCURED IN NISSAN MURANOS SINCE 2003 AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HAS NOT TAKEN APPROPRIATE ACTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH SUCCESSIVE MODELS NOR TO COVER THE COST FOR THOSE OWNERS WHOSE AUTOS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. AS WITH ANY RECALL ISSUE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR
