2007 Nissan Murano Visibility

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 IN THE MORNING DUE TO A WINDY NIGHT. IN THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF IT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES, WHILE IN A GARAGE. TODAY, OCTOBER 8, 2008 IT HAPPENED TWICE AND I WITNESSED THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. IT OCCURRED THE 2ND TIME JUST AS A RAIN SHOWER WAS STARTING. THE CAR HAD TO BE COVERED WITH A TARP FOR THE NIGHT TO PREVENT RAIN FROM GETTING IN IT IN THE EVENT THE WINDOWS GO BACK DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE WHEN THE WINDOWS WILL NOT STAY UP. THE PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK, CAR IS AT RISK OF BEING DAMAGED FROM INCLEMENT WEATHER INSIDE IT, VEHICLE IS AT RISK FOR THEFT OR BEING VANDALIZED DUE TO NOT BEING SECURE, PERSONAL PROPERTY IS AT RISK OF THEFT FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO NOT BEING SECURE. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED AND ADDRESSED. OTHERS ONLINE HAVE POSTED THE SAME PROBLEMS ON BLOGS. AFTER TODAY I WILL BE MEETING WITH THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. FOR A VEHICLE RATED SO HIGH IN SAFETY I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE WINDOW PROBLEM. I AM SHOCKED NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING SINCE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED. I AM QUESTIONING OWNING IT. *TR

IN FEBRUARY 2008 MY 2007 MURANO DEVELOPED A WINDSHIELD STRESS FRACTURE. IT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND INSTALLED BY A GLASS COMPANY. AS OF TODAY I HAVE ANOTHER STRESS FRACTURE OF THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS WITH HEAVY WET SNOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME STUCK. BOTH TIMES IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER TO CLEAR THE ICE BUILD UP FROM UNDER THE ARM AND INSIDE THE HOOD. THIS CREATED AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATION. *JB
