The hinge mechanism that keeps the sun visor in the up position, fails causing the visor to randomly fall while I'm driving. This causes me to be startled & also is a visibility problem. This should be a safety recall! After eventually getting so bad it would not stay up at all & then finding out it would cost $300+ to replace, I'm stuck using a velcro strap attached to drivers side "o-s@&t" bar to keep it up!
2006 Nissan Murano visibility complaints
Page 2 of 7: complaints 11 to 40 of 179, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The sun visor flips in front of you to block your vision and that is very dangerous to involve in accident? Nissan should recall it immediately before someone get hurt.
The sunvisors will not stay up and cause great distraction and low visibility.
Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. I took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $100 to inspect + $700/$800 part & labor. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about air bag warning lights, drivers seat collapsing, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, check engine light coming on due to fuel gauge failure, wiper motor/transmission going out. My nissan murano has all these problems and more. I cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. The fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. Nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. We love teh car but it should hole together better than this. Theres are not items caused by high millage jut plain poor designs. Seats breaking - no way, visors falling down - no way, fuel gauge failure - no way, air bag warning light - no way, wiper motor/transmission - no way - please help us!!!!
Sun visors will not stay up. Constantly coming down and obstructing visibility while driving. Very unsafe.
Both visors on my murano continually fall down blocking my view while driving. This seems to be a very common problem and I can't believe nissan won't step up to fix the issue. What's worse, they want to charge you $400 per visor to fix the issue. Why won't the federal safety agency step in to get this issue fixed?
This has been happening for about a 2 years now. I decided I was tired of getting upset and slamming the visor on the top of the roof when I hit a bump and it falls. I am tired of driving 70 MPH on the interstate and all of a sudden the visor drops and blocks my vision. I almost was in a wreck yesterday because of this stupid visor. I researched it and realized there are multiple other complaints about the nissan visor and this exact issue. Someone is going to get killed with this stupid thing.
My driver's side visor has suddenly decided to keep falling down. It will not stay in the upright position. It slowly works its way downward. When I hit a bump in the road the other day it just fell all the way down. This was while changing lanes and could have caused an accident due to the distraction and the visibility issues. I have the gold extended preferred warranty, and nissan states it isn't covered, yet I don't agree that it is a wear and tear item. I don't even use the visor enough for it to be worn and torn....I think it jut fails over time, perhaps due to heat from the sun. This appears to be a recurring problem based on the complaints actually filed here at the federal safety agency and the postings found online. A goodwill warranty program would seem to be in order here at the minimum.
The driver side sun visor does not stay up. It keeps falling. I have spoken to nissan and they said it is not a warranty item. I have searched the nissan forums and read where one nissan mechanic, (metro273) said that this is a faulty problem with the sun visor and he has repaired many. To my point this presents a hazard for the driver because if the car is in motion and this thing falls down, the driver has to make a split decision by taking his eyes off the road to remove the obstacle that is blocking his or her view. Nissan should warranty this item and replace it for free.
2006 nissan murano has sun visors (driver and passenger sides) that drop down unexpectedly while car is moving. After much online research, it appears this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle and previous years' models as well. It is a safety hazard due to the fact that you never know when it will fall down and block the driver's vision. The cost to have this repaired at the nissan dealership is approximately $500. This is an excessive amount especially since the failure is caused by a small plastic piece that wears down from use. Nissan has had plenty of time and opportunities over the years to correct this problem, but the company hasn't done so. My family will never purchase another nissan because of this issue with the sun visors.
I have problem with the sun visor left side was on the nissan office and they say I have to buy or repair the cost is like $500.00 they don't cover anything so if can help me to do any solution thanks.
Sun visor left side.
I am having trouble with the visors in my vehicle, they keep dropping while driving, its very dangerous, it falls at any given time and I try to keep it up by holding it while I'm driving . I was online and could not believe the amount of people that are having the same problem, it was not covered by the warranty or the extended, and now they are telling me the cost to replace one is almost $400.
The driver's side sun visor does not stay in place, and several times has fallen down obstructing my vision while I have been driving. From searching online I see that this is a widespread problem with the nissan murano and is clearly a manufacturing defect. Nissan dealers want over $400 to replace the visor... ' what's the point of replacing it with one that will likely have the same problem? This more than just an annoyance, it is a real safety hazard that will result in accidents and people getting hurt or killed, if it hasn't already. I'm amazed there hasn't been a recall to fix this problem. Nissan, do the right thing and recall this faulty part or this will absolutely be the last nissan vehicle my family ever buys.
My wife was driving when the drivers side sun visor fell down impairing her vision. This caused her to scrape the passenger side rims on the curb. I believe it is now out of alignment. Luckily no one was injured, but this could have caused a serious accident. I have read other complaints about this same issue. I believe the problem is not the visor it's self (although it is really heavy) but where it actually mounts to the ceiling. Why nissan will not own up to this and correct the issue is beyond me? Guess they don't really care cause the already got your money.
This is the second time the driver's side visor has suddenly broken and come down to block my view in the middle of driving. I replaced the original for the same problem 3 years ago. Seems the issue was not actually fixed. It now falls down regularly and suddenly blocks my view. I'm told its $400 to fix it again. Why hasn't it been recalled? There is obviously a dangerous problem with these visors.
The passengers and drivers sun visors suddenly began falling down as the vehicle is driving and goes over any dip or minor bump in the road. The visor drops and blocks the drivers view of the road. The same occurs on the passenger side. The visors will not stay up in the closed position. This is apparently a defect in the 2006 muranos and nissan should recall the murano for this issue.
Visors on the driver and passenger side will not stay up.
The drivers side sun visor won't stay up on its own and it is a driving hazard and the pass. Side is starting to fall down too.
The sun visor suddenly dropped blocking my view of the road. It then would not stay up. The mechanism inside the visor itself is faulty.
Question first, how many complaints do you need to investigate a safety recall? I have a 2006 nissan murano with the driver side visor that won't stay up or when down won't say pushed against the window it just flops straight down. This causes a real safety hazard.. Even when you push it to the side it causes vision problems. Nissan needs to recall this or atleast not gouge people who need it replaced. It's not something you can ignore and fix later but at $500.00 it's robbery, I also had my window motor go out and it cost $500.00 which had to be fixed. I noticed multiple complaints about the visor would like an update on the investigation.
Sun visor does not stay up. It will fall down obstructing view when unexpected, especially for taller drivers. Seems to be very common issue on the internet with nissan vehicles. I've had other vehicles recalled due to safety related issues that seem to be far less of a likely problem than this one. They likely don't get replaced because of their expense.
While operating the vehicle the sun visor drops down unexpectedly, completely obstructing the driver's view. This has occurred approximately four times since the first incident approximately four days ago. When this happens the driver's view of the road is completely obstructed and due to the sudden and unexpected nature of the sun visor dropping down this could easily cause an accident. It is very frightening when it happens.
Hello - I have been reading multiple threads on the nissan forum, on facebook and elsewhere regarding nissan murano sun visors from 2006 and other years that "fail" and flop down.... On the passenger side this is not as much of a safety issue, however, on the driver"s side it is... An unexpected blocked sight vision coupled with traffic will (if it has not already) result in an accident, injury or death to someone....the two visors are not interchangeable. Nissan will fix it (if under warranty) but they are counting on the failure happening after warranty and then charging a hefty price for a driver's side replacement, and/or human ingenuity to allow owners to try fix the problem them selves.... Velcro does not work, switching visors leads to the "vanity mirror" door flopping down as well..... We have such an issue with our 2006 nissan murano... It should be required for nissan to recall and repair these on 2006 and other tears which use part # 96401 for a driver's side sun visor before they are faced with a lawsuit... A copy of this complaint is going to my personal attorney.... Thank you....
The driver side sun visor will no longer stay up. While you are driving it drops down into your eyeline impairing your visibility. They same thing happened to my passenger side but the vehicle was still under warranty so they covered it. I believe this is a defect and can be a danger. I have spoken with numerous other murano owners who are experiencing the same problem. Nissan has no intention of fixing this problem. I guess they are waiting for more accidents to happen.
The driver side sun visor does not stay in place. It is either up or down and will flip down on its own during driving creating dangerous driving conditions. Nissan wants approximate $300 for a new part that they should replace.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated that the front driver side window would not close. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the window's motor may have needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that the part was not available to make the necessary repairs. The contact then took the vehicle to various other dealers and was informed that the part was not available. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 79,000.
I purchased a 2006 nissan murano brand new. After doing a little research, I understand that my compliant has been documented numerous times, by many consumers and that an investigation by the federal safety agency has been completed and closed. With that said, a new investigation into the matters needs to occur and nissan needs to issue a recall. The visor on the driver's side continues to flop down, causing limited visibility when driving. This impairs visibility when driving, which is a major safety concern and although it seems that the defect hasn't resulted in a casualty yet, it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured from this defect. Next, the seat anchor bracket/frame on my driver's side seat is broken and has caused the seat to lean to the left considerably. The seat is unstable and rocks back and forth while driving, which again, is a safety concern. The investigation into this matter by the federal safety agency indicated that the problem results from metal fatigue. When in automobile history has this occurred? As I understand, it will cost over $1,000 to get this fixed. Nissan needs to issue a recall and take responsibility for its manufacturing defects. I hope they are not waiting until someone actually dies before they realize these defects are a major safety hazard.
The visor on the driver's side constantly falls down prohibiting the driver from seeing the road. It will not stay up for an extended period of time. Multiple people with the same make and model vehicle have reported having this problem to me as well.
The passenger side sun visor falls down and obstructs the driver's view. Nissan is refusing to address this issue.
