THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER VISORS BUT DRIVER IS WORSE. COMPLETELY OBSCURES VIEW OF ROAD AND IT IS UNPREDICTABLE WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. NO WAY TO TIGHTEN OR FIX. NO PROMISE THAT REPLACEMENT WON'T HAVE SAME PROBLEM.

IN 2011, MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPPED AS I WAS DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HAVE A WRECK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME CLOSE TO $700 TO REPLACE AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM. I HAVE TRIED ALL SORTS OF METHODS TO KEEP MY VISOR UP, BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED AND THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE. THERE ARE ALREADY 59 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE? SOMEONE TO HAVE A WRECK WHILE DRIVING?

2007 NISSAN MURANO S SUN VISOR BOTH DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER MAL-FUNCTION. I CHOOSE VISIBILITY/WIPER BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTS VISION (*VISIBILITY*) WHEN IT DROPS DOWN IN VIEW WHILE DRIVING AT NO GIVEN WARNING. ITS DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE COMING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. THE COST OF THESE SUN VISORS ARE EXPENSIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE OR AT LEAST FIX THEM AT NO COST.

FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WHICH KEPT FLOPPING DOWN CAUSING A HAZARD BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISION.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLAPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WILL NOT STAY UP, CAUSING AN IMPAIRMENT IN VISIBILITY AND DISTRACTION IN DRIVING. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHO WAS OF NO ASSISTANCE.

PLEASE RESEARCH THIS ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED FALLING DOWN, IMPAIRING SIGHT OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 1 MONTH OF FALLING, IT WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP AT ALL. I'VE HAD TO PULL OUT THE SIDE VISOR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR TO 'PROP" THE DRIVERS SIDE UP. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS STARTING TO FALL. I'VE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE VISOR IF I AM TO SEE THE ROAD.

THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SLOWLY STARTED DROPPING ON ITS OWN. MY VISOR WILL STAY UP SOMETIMES BUT GIVEN A LITTLE TIME IT WILL NEVER STAY UP. I READ OF THIS IN OTHER MODEL YEARS BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED IT IN MINE UNTIL THE LAST 4 MONTHS. AND NOW IT HAS GONE FROM AN ANNOYANCE TO A LIABILITY. IF I CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS I'M SUING THE HE'LL OUT OF NISSAN AS IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WON'T FIX IT. NEVER ENCOUNTERED A SIMILAR ISSUE IN THE 7 OTHER VEHICLES I'VE OWNED.

VISIBILITY

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.

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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DROPPED DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW. JUST AS THIS HAPPENED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP AND I COULDN'T SEE THE BRAKE LIGHTS! I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF THEIR CAR! I CAN'T AFFORD WHAT THE DEALER CHARGES FOR A REPLACEMENT VISOR AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KEEP ONE HAND ON THE VISOR AS I DRIVE! I'M WORRIED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER NISSAN OWNERS TOO.
