2005 Nissan Murano

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.

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 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

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WOULDN'T STAY UP AND WAS RIGHT IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD IT REPLACED AND COST NEARLY $400. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE WON'T STAY UP EITHER. THE PRICE HAS INCREASED TO NEARLY $500!!! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY NISSAN. I CAN'S SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SUN VISOR ALWAYS IN THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE TRIED VELCRO AND IT WON'T HOLD IT UP. I SAW ONLINE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP ANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS EXCEPT TO PAY THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR SUN VISORS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OVER A BUMP, THE SUN VISOR WOULD FALL DOWN WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE SUN VISOR WOULD REMAIN IN AN UPWARD POSITION WHEN SECURED WITH VELCRO STRAPS. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION. WHILE DISPENSING FUEL THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE CLICKED OFF CONTINUOUSLY. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

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
