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. This is the third time the part has become defective. The first time, the vehicle was under warrant; the second time, we paid for the new sunvisor; and now, the problem has returned. We have contacted nissan concerning the defective sunvisor and we are currently awaiting their response. 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.

The drivers side sun visor on my 2004 nissan murano keeps falling down even with the simplest bump on the road while driving. This happens all the time. We put velcro on it and it has not worked.

Drivers side sunvisor on a 2004 nissan murano while driving the vehicle, the sunvisor falls from its upright position to the down position, thus blocking the driver's field of view, causing a major safety concern. Nissan has issued a service bulletin (#03-081a) covering these visors, which shows that they are aware of the problem. However, they will not stand behind their product to remedy this situation without charging the consumer in excess of $400 - $500 to repair it. There has not been a wreck yet, but its only a matter of time when the driver cannot see. We have been to the service dept on numerous occasions, but they will not fix the problem. This problem happens constantly while driving.

2004 nissan murano---driver side sun visor flips down on its own while driving and obstructs view of the driver.
I own a 2004 nissan murano. Front wheel drive. My driver side sun visor does not stay up any more? It started falling down in 2007, by 2009 I had to remove the lighted mirror to decrease the weight so that the visor would not have the added weight pulling the visor down. I tried to wrap duck tape around the visor plastic tab but the visor stills falls after awhile. It now just falls every time I go out for a drive. Nissan dealership and auto maker will not make good on this defective product!!!
We purchased a certified used 2004 nissan murano in march 2006. Within 6 mos, the driver's side sun visor started falling by itself, impairing the vision of the driver unexpectedly. The problem worsened until it just now hangs permanently straight down. In order to drive safely, we have to drive with it permanently to the side position which then blocks our side vision. There is no way to drive the murano without vision impairment of some sort.
Drivers side visor will not stay up.
2004 nissan murano sunvisors are junk. They are a very serious safety hazard when they fall down when you are driving and obstruct your vision. Nissan want $330.00 to replace this visor with I assume another piece of crap ya right, they need to be recalled!!!!!!!!!! I will never buy another nissan in my life just because of these annoying overpriced dangerous sunvisors!!!
2004 nissan murano driver side sun visor falling down blocking drivers vision which could lead to accident. Nissan has manufacured this as a defective part as many of them are facing the same issue. I tried to contact the dealer and they are asking to pay $400 to replace this part. Sun visor is falling down in regular inetrvals through out he drive as it loose inside the plastic.
Sun visors in 2004 murano do not stay in position. On the freeway they suddenly fall down blocking vision. Nissan had a tsb, but outside the 3/36 warranty, they are $400 to repair.
The driver side sun visor does not stay up. When driving, it will occasionally and randomly fall into the down position, blocking the view of the road. This has happened at least a dozen times in the past year and a half of driving my 04 murano. The last time it happened it was at night and I happened to be driving at night. The visor dropped while in the middle of going around a curve. Luckily no one was in the oncoming traffic lane and disaster was averted. But this could have been a very ugly incident. I have not replaced the visor components yet, because of the cost of the repair.
Driver and passenger side sun visors fall with any minor bump (or even without any jarring at times). Not only does it startle the driver when it happens (possibly leading to erratic driving, but it blocks the driver's field of vision creating a further safety hazard. Many times simply raising the visor up does not work and it falls again leaving the driver trying to handle the car safely with one hand while simultaneously trying to keep the visor out of his field of vision.
I have a 2004 nissan murano. The sun visors fall loose at the slightest vibration. Every bump we hit sends them falling into my path of vision. I have 60k and therefore I am out of the factory warranty. I fear that the visor will fall at the wrong time, causing a potential accident. Please tell me what I can do to have nissan correct this.

The driver side sun visor on my 2004 nissan murano won't stay in the stowed position or the full forward position. It will fall down into the field of view when a large bump in the road is hit.
2004 nissan murano. Passenger side and driver side sun visors keep falling down and blocking view while driving. It is getting progressively worse. Started falling as a result of any jarring while driving (pot hole, uneven road, etc). Now, will happen when suddenly pressing on the brakes while in city traffic. Really is a safety hazard. First, the surprise of the visor suddenly dropping down and second having your view obscured while in traffic. Really need to look into this issue.
The driver's side sun visor of my 2004 nissan murano will not stay in the up position. Every time you go over the smallest bump it falls down covering the driver's view of the road unexpectedly.
