2007 Nissan Murano Visibility

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

VISOR, DRIVER SIDE CONTINUALLY FALLS DOWN. *TR

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

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

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
