2004 Nissan Murano visibility complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 133, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The drivers side sun visor failed to keep its 'up position' or in a selected position to shade the driver from the sun. This is a safety hazard that left uncorrected could result in an accident. Nissan has not issued a voluntary recall on the visor even though many people have complained about the problem.
The sun visors constantly will not stay up. This happened first on the passengers side and now on the drives side. This is a safety issue! These sun visors falling down can block your vision while you are driving. This is going to cost almost $600.00 to fix at the dealership! This is ridiculous and should be a recall on nissan's part, not charge some outrageous price to fix. I am completely appalled at this.
Drivers side sun visor has lost ability to stay in upright position. Will drop down unexpectedly causing a safety issue and cannot be left in any position but fully down.
The passenger side visor swings down, does not stay in pace and obstructs the drivers view of the road.
Driver & passenger side visor keeps falling down when driving. Can not see when it falls down, blocks vision. A safety issue and expensive part that I can not afford.
Driver and passenger side visors will not stay up or stay attached to roof.
Sun visor drops while driving covering vision of traffic signals.

The sun visor located above the driver side does not stay up properly. It flaps down and blocks the view of the road and traffic from the driver. This issue is prevalent in many muranos - see posting boards - and should be a recalled.
Driver-side sun visor will not stay in place. It is loose and will drop down while driving, blocking visibility.
The passenger sun visor keeps flopping down and obstructing view. There is a mechanism failure in the spring that holds it up. Have seen a number of complaints on blogs about this and even if you order a new visor, mechanism still fails. It is a safety issue and one that does not seem to have a resolution.... It is also on the onus of the driver to deal with a defect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. The contact stated that both the driver and passenger side sun visors would not remain in an upright position and was obstructing her view. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified nor was the vehicle diagnosed or repaired. The current mileage was 105,051. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The driver side sunvisor suddenly fell down striking my wife in the fore head and causing her to run off the roadway. She was safely able to re-enter the roadway without over correcting and having an accident. This has happened several times, finally to the point that I have removed the sunvisor. I have twin seven year olds with autism that ride in this vehicle several times a week. I have read of several other owners of murano's with the same issue. As a police officer and paramedic this is a safety issue that the manufacturer needs to address, before someone is seriously injured.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver side visor fell from its housing, obscuring the driver's vision. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they advised him that he needed a new visor. The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Driver's side sun visor suddenly flopped down and blocked my wife's view of the road. It will not stay up. After listening to her complaints for weeks, I finally took it the dealership to get a new one. They want $182.59 plus tax just for the part! That doesn't even include labor to install. The dealership told me I was lucky because it used to cost $425. That is ludicrous! I have found dozens of similar complaints on this very website. It is a serious safety issue and it is obviously a systemic problem. I didn't realize how much it affected your driving until I drove it today. We are in the market for a new car and I can guarantee it will not be a nissan or infiniti. $200 for a $20 sun visor is insane!
2004 nissan murano. Consumer states sun visor will not stay in place. It will not stay up and out of the way. *tgw the consumer stated the sun visor has been replaced four times.
For no visible reason, the driver's side visor dropped down and could not be put back into place. It refuses to stay up. In the down position the view is cut in half and renders the vehicle unsafe for sustained driving. I believe this is a total manufacturer defect.
Driver side sun visor dropped down unexpectedly and intermittently.
2004 nissan murano driver's side sun visor repeatedly falls down and will not stay up causing a serious safety issue. The consequences could be fatal if not fixed. I have had 2 incidents where I was close to being hit by another car due to the visor falling. The visor fell as I was approaching an intersection in which it caused me to go through a red light. I have contacted nissan consumer affairs and they told me I had to take it to a dealership for them to verify that it was an issue. I then contacted nissan consumer affairs back to let them know it was verified that it was a problem and that a regional specialist would contact me. I talk to the regional specialist and she needed the documentation from the dealership. She now has it and I'm waiting for a response now. This all started just a couple of weeks ago with nissan. If the safety issue is not resolved by their expense then I'm talking to a good friend that is an investigative reporter for a local news company.
My 2004 nissan murano has a defective driver-side sun visor problem. It keeps falling down and will also not stay up. This is a safety issue because when I am driving the vehicle, the visor will flop down without warning and cause me to become distracted, which could cause me to have an accident. Also, if I put it down, it will not stay in the position I place it in. I believe this is a defective part in the nissan murano. I have noticed on the internet that many people have been complaining about this issue and that nissan refuses to cover this under warranty or under a recall. There was even a nissan auto technician who anonymously admitted that this was a mechanical failure because he has to replace the visor part on many vehicles he has worked on. Can you do anything about this?
Dear sir, we own a 2004 nissan murano that we bought new in may of 2004. The vehicle has performed great over the years; however, we do have one very important safety issue with the nissan murano which is the driver's side sun visor. As you are driving, the sunvisor will drop down blocking the view of the roadway. I have also spoken with another nissan murano owner who stated that she has experienced the same problem. Also, I ran an internet search for "problems with a nissan murano sunvisor" and discovered numerous blogs submitted by individuals who have experienced the exact same problem with their nissan muranos. I strongly feel that this issue needs to be investigated before someone is very seriously injured or perhaps killed because they were unable to see the roadway.
Driver side visor contiunes to fall out of the "up" postion. This is a big safety issue, especially when I have my 3yr old son in the back! Velcro doesnt really help either.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver side sun visor was hanging down impairing his vision and would not remain closed. The contact did not inform the dealer or manufacturer nor was the vehicle repaired or diagnosed. The current and failure mileage was 28,000. The VIN was unavailable.
My nissan murano has a defective driver side visor. It constantly falls from the "up position" into drivers vision. This caused an accident!!! I was traveling downhill on a snow/ice covered road, I hit a bump and the visor fell into my vision I reached to put the visor back into the up position. Pushed it into place and it immediately fell again I pushed it back up(distracting my attention from the road in front of me) and noticed a car stopped in the middle of the road, I swerved to miss the stalled car, I avoided hitting the car but as I swerved I ran over black ice the car got sideways and hit a concrete barricade.
Nissan murano 2004 -- sun visor on drivers side is not staying up. As I am driving ( sometimes with my kids) the sun visor drops down blocking my view. This is a big safety issue and I'm surprised no one has been injured or sued nissan for this. I have noticed many other people have the same complaint. The dealer wants $400.00 to put in a new one -- when this should never happen.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the front driver side sun visor flipped down, obstructing the contact's vision. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure occurred intermittently. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage is 100,000. Updated 02/17/11* lj updated 03/07/11
Drivers side visor does not stay up and drops down to block driving vision. Requires 1 hand to hold visor out of the line of sight to leave one hand only for driving. Creates a dangerous driving situation and creates un due anxiety.
I have a 2004 nissan murano. Both driver's and passenger's sun visors fall to the down position when the vehicle hits a bump or when the brake is pressed. This can cause a safety hazard as it obstructs my view while driving. The cost to repair or replace the visor seems absurdly high especially when I look at several forums of murano owners having the same problem. I now drive with my hand holding the visor in the "up" position which is also a hazard because I have to drive with one hand in order to see without the visor falling. I have researched the web and saw several murano owners have the same problem. At what point or how many complaints do you need to receive in order to recall the item? Does someone need to get into a serious accident or notify the media to seek action?
Driver's side sun visor on 2004 nissan murano drops suddenly while driving and cblocks view of the road -- significant safety issue.
