The driver's side sun visor falls down and will not stay up. This distracts the drivers ability to see and is a serious safety concern that will directly result in accidents. This is a common problem on this vehicle and an issue that has been reported by many murano owners.

The driver side visor in my 2005 nissan murano does not stay up and is causing a driving hazard. I have it held with velcro right now, but it does not word well and while driving will fall and block the entire front view. This is a known problem and it's very dangerous.

The sun visor on the driver's side will not stay in the upward or "not in use" position. I can be driving and it will fall down blocking my vision while driving. In the beginning I thought it was only my car but after researching and talking with dealership it is a common malfunction. Dealership said they are aware but the problem cannot be fixed by recall because nissan has not given them the "okay." in order to fix problem a new visor would need to be installed with visor part alone costing $200+. I currently have to pull over the extension visor on the passenger side to hold up the driver's side sun visor, and the driver's side visor will still fall down at random times blocking my vision and at times at very crucial moments. I feel this is a major safety hazard and a defect product installed by nissan. In the beginning I tried to get nissan to fix but to no avail. I would have filed a complaint before now but was not aware of your website, which I believe nissan dealerships should have filed with nissan, and may have but nothing has been done about this safety hazard. I hope your company can help get this recalled before someone driving a murano with this defect gets injured or causes injury to other motorist.

My sun visors, both the drivers side & passenger side, will not stay up. The dealer has replace the drivers side three times now & the passenger side 4 times and it works for awhile but then they fall down again. The drivers side visor is a real hazard as you can imagine! I believe there should be a recall on these. I logged onto a murano forum and found out it is happening a lot with other owners and almost all of them say it is not the visor itself but the clips they fit into. I think the dealer should have realized how many times they were replacing them and investigated it further for a permanent fix.

Issue with the sun visor on both sides. The passenger side has been falling for the past 6 months and now the driver side is starting to fall. Poor workmanship on the part of nissan and it should be corrected.

I am the original owner of 2005 murano. I noticed a problem with hydroplaning soon after purchase, and have always been extremely careful and on guard when driving in rain or even when streets are wet. This would happen with brand new tires and tires that were slightly worn so the tires don't seem to be the problem, unless its the type of tire but its not the tread on the tire. The car came with goodyear eagle p235/65 r18 tires and I have replaced with same tires when nissan service department advised of tread wear. On july 22, 2013 I was on my way home from gatlinburg with daughter and 2 year old granddaughter in car. We were caught in downpour going through knoxville. I truly cannot believe we are alive. My car would continually lose traction and it would slide to one side until it would grab traction before going off the road or wrecking. Something is terribly wrong with the murano in regards to hydroplaning. I also have had the problem with the driver's side visor coming down and will not stay up since a couple years after I bought the car. I love everything else about my murano and due to hydroplaning safety issue I will not be purchasing another one. Please take this issue up with nissan before people are killed. I cannot afford to replace my murano at this time so if there is anything that can be done please, please help me take care of this issue. This is definitely a manufacturer problem. There is no doubt people have been killed because of this problem but was not proven because didn't live to tell what happened. What can I do at this point to prevent becoming a statistic and more importantly ensure the safety of my precious cargo? I feel lucky to be alive.

Driving down the road at 45 MPH making a turn and the right visor falls down causing poor visibility and a distraction during driving. This is a known malfunction for muranos and is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.
