Passenger side mirror destroyed by other motorist, when bringing it to the dealer in long beach they wanted to give me the car back with all the doors not working. After he already charged over $400 for the rear view mirror we were unable to lock the car, open the door except manually, after a 3 days with a rental car the nissan dealer charged another $550 for a broken actuator that was not broken before we brought it to the dealer. Coincidence, I think not, the web is full of folks that have the same complaint. It's a rip-off and they need to be stopped.

The driver's side sun visor is defective and drops down in driver's line of sight. No ready fix and replacement of the defective part is over $200. This is a safety issue as the visor will obscure vision and could lead to a crash.

Both driver and passenger side visors will randomly fall from the up position and obstruct view. When driving car, this blocks the view of the driver. The sun visors are both defective, there is no position that the visors will stay other than straight down - blocking view. If the car goes over a bump, the visor will drop down. Why even install a sun visor if it does not block the sun?

Sun visor randomly drops down from headliner obstructing driver's view. Nissan will not repair the problem at no cost if the vehicle is out of warranty. This is a safety issue and nissan should repair this defect regardless of year or mileage. This is an expensive service at the dealerships, preventing certain owners from having the visor properly replaced/repaired . Very dangerous.

I own a 2003 nissan murano and the sun visors have been replaced twice and they go bad after about a year. The design of these sun visors is really bad and it is a safety issue because it blocks your vision and it may cause accidents. I'm sure nissan is aware of this problem but is choosing not to do anything about it. They are probably waiting for an accident that will result in a fatality before they do a recall on all nissan murano's. Last year, I almost had an accident when I was driving and hit a bump and the sun visor came down. My reaction was to try to see under the sun visor but some how I almost lost control of the car and fortunately I did not hit the car in front of me (almost did). Please do something to help us. Hundreds of murano owners have this problem. It is all over the internet.

I have had my 2003 nissan murano since I bought it new in 2003, just after my warranty ran out the passenger sun visor started to fall and will not stay up. Because I am a tall man it actually blocks more than 50% of my view and I am afraid that one day it will cause an accident because of the loss of field of view. I have been searching the internet and it seems this is a very big issue with the nissan muranos and quest. I feel that this is a very big safety concern as in most states the field of vision is a part of the safety inspection this seriously decreases it and impairs the ability to foresee dangers.
