Driving is the event leading to the failure. Driver's side sun visor will not stay in the up position and falls down in front of drivers eyes without warning or hesitation. This will lead to accident due to the driver losing eye contact with traffic and the road.
2005 Nissan Murano visibility complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Normal vehicle use, about 45k miles.the drivers side sun visor fails to remain in the up position. This leads to critical driver blinding at unexpected times, usually during stops or turns when sight is critical. Nissan would not repair under $400 and no after market parts have been found. A search shows this to be a known common issue affecting driver safety.
I own a 2005 nissan murano and both sun visors keep falling. I've tried velcro and even glue but to no avail. These faulty visors are dangerous because they tend to fall when I am driving and momentarily obstruct my view. I've come close on a few occasions to hitting a vehicle in front of me because of this. The cost to replace these visors is exorbitant ($350 or more ea) and while researching where to buy them cheap or even a method of repair for this defect I've found that there are multiple nissan owners with this exact same problem.
The driver side visor fell down one day and will no longer stay in up position. It must be left down flush against the window which obstructs the drivers view of the roadway. The visor repair is covered by my warranty but my deductible is $200 and to fix the visor without the warranty is over $300. From what I have read, this is an ongoing issue and a serious safety issue for drivers. People who have gotten them replaced continue to have this issue and the visor should be recalled and replaced with one that works in every other car. There are a lot of complaints here and it doesn't appear that anyone is doing anything about it.
Like everyone else here my 2005 nissan murano sun visor driver's side won't stay up and it flops down. I agree that this is a very serious safety issue. I refuse to pay $500 to have a defect originally from nissan repaired properly. The visor is totally loose and won't stay up nor will it stay put to block the sun since it's so loose that it simply flops straight down. I have resorted to using duck tape to tape it in the up position so it doesn't flop down when I hit a bump traveling down the road at 70+ MPH. It's a serious safety issue and I'm mad as *** about it. The passenger side has a similar problem but it's not as bad - probably just due to less usage on the passenger side.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver side sun visor would not remain in a secure upward position and was obstructing the visibility of the driver. The sun visor was permanently removed, the part was ordered and the contact planned to perform a repair when the part became available. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

The driver side sun visor will fall down from any postion and block visabily out of the windshield. It will also scare the driver causing hands to leave the steering wheel in self preservation and to move the visor out of the viewing area. This does not happen all of the time. So each time it does happen iit is a shock to the driver. There is no aftermarket repair. The dealer wants in excess of $300 to replace it. There is no guarentee that the replacement will not perform as the original. I have tried to velcro the visor in the up position but velcro will not stick to the head liner very well. Also I need the visor in more than just an up or down position.
The driver side sun visor arbitrarily drops into view from the stored position causing a distraction and momentarily blocking the driver's vision. This is a dangerous situation given the distraction, blocked vision, and daily occurrences.
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.
Driver side sun visor falls to full down position blocking drivers view of the road. Internet inquiry shows many people with this problem. Nissan has quoted up to $400.00 for replacement visor.(search: murano sun visor).
The driver's side visor will not stay in the stowed position. It falls down into the driver's line of sight obstructing his/her vision. It happens intermittently, surprising the driver, causing a safety hazard. To keep it out of the way, one hand must be used to hold it up, leaving only one hand to drive.
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
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.
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 the federal safety agency 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.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving 35 MPH the driver side sun visor fell down every time he drove over a bump in the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that it would cost $400 to replace the sun visor. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 42,000.
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.
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.
Without warning, the driver's side visor of my 2005 nissan murano disconnected and blocked my vision while driving. Since then it does not stay in place and is a constant disturbance while driving because it does not stay in place. I was advised that it is not covered on my extended warranty. I did some internet research and discovered that this is an ongoing problem with this model car. If you complain enough, some dealers have replaced it for no charge. In my case I was given a quote of $320 to replace it.
Tl*the contact owns 2005 nissan murano. While driving approximately 70 MPH the sun visor fell down on its own making it difficult for the driver to see the road. He contacted the manufacturer and was informed that he would have to replace the sun visor. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
The failure is with my 2005 nissan murano. The sun visor on the driver side no longer works property and drops down blocking my eye line. Without having it tapped up in place it could cause a serious accident. Nissan claims it is not a defect although there are thousands of people online with the same exact problem. I can't afford $350 to get a new one and nissan refuses to help out their loyal customers. A recall needs to happen in order to fix all of the visors. I don't remember the exact date it started falling, so I'm putting an estimate.
I have a 2005 nissan murano. My driver side sun visor is broken for no apparent reason and will not stay up. It randomly falls down while I am driving with no warning. I drive over 120 miles a day, and am scared that I am going to have an accident. This part is also $300 + to replace!!
The driver's side sun visor is broken. It will not stay up or down. I have read on line that this is a common problem in nissan muranos. I have a 2005 nissan murano.
I own a 2005 nissan murano with a gold preferred extended warranty. The vehicle has 46,000 miles on it and the visor won't stay up. According to my dealer this is not an uncommon problem but it's considered a "trim" (?) item and therefore not covered. I believe this is a safety issue that could lead to a serious accident and should be covered or subject to a recall.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving approximately 25 MPH he drove over a bump and both front sun visors flipped downwards. He flipped the visors back up into holding position, but after driving over another bump the failure recurred. The failure continued to recur until the visors would not longer remain up in the holding position. The vehicle was not taken to be examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The failure continues. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 60,000.
2005 murano sun visors broke and fell half way down blocking some of my driving view. They want over $325.00 for a new one times 2 = $650.00 without any assurance that replacements will not do the same. The only answer I get is out of warranty. Perhaps you could give me some help to remedy this issue short of sewing a snap to the roof. Thank you for any cooperation.
