2006 Nissan Murano visibility complaints
Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 179, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Both visors on my 2006 nissan murano have stopped working properly and become a safety hazard. This vehicle is only about 5 years old and already both visors have lost their tension causing them to fall down while driving, blocking the view of the driver. Also they will not stay where they are placed, so they do not serve the purpose of blocking the sun making them more hazardous. A complaint was filed with nissan corporate (file number [xxx]) in march of 2010, but they denied the claim. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
I am writing about the sun visor on my nissan murano 2006. It drop and covers my eyes and its very dangerous. I have seen hundreds of posts online where people are having the same issue. Nissan needs to recall and fix these. Its really dangerous.
Solar visor not secure. Has fallen repeatedly during normal driving. Presents major safety hazard as view of road will be impaired when visor fails to remain in up position.
The driver side sun visor on my 2006 nissan murano won't stay up anymore. Like the other complaints, it just drops down. On occasion, it will stay for a short while, only to drop into my line of sight while driving!! Definitely safety hazard that nissan needs to address.
The sun visor continues to fall into the drivers line of vision while operating the vehicle. The visor falls on its own without any action from the driver and without warning.

Drivers side sun visor unexpectedly dropped down while driving. The visor will no longer stay in place, causing a significant safety hazard. Once back in place, the visor will drop down on its own. I have had to use a bungee cord that goes from the rear-view mirror across the visor to the driver's side ceiling handle.
Tla* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. While traveling at speeds of 10 MPH and up, the driver?s side sun visor would fall without warning, obstructing the view of the driver. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for further inspection of the failure. The manufacturer advised the vehicle was outside of factory warranty and would not provide any assistance. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.
The driver's side sun visor on my 2006 nissan murano will not stay up. It suddenly falls vertically down and obstructs my vision.
2006 nissan murano. Drivers side sunvisor will not stay in the "up" position. Visor is very stiff trying to push up, and continually stays in the "down" position.
Nissan murano 2006; repeating sun visor failure on driver and passenger side began in late 2009; distracting during driving when visor drops in front of line of vision. Visors will not stay up and out of line of vision. This is a definite safety issue.
Driver's side sunvisor defect causes it to fall from the up position to the down position without warning, causing loss of full vision when driving. It occurs constantly. Nissan refuses to fix the problem at their expense. Cost to owner is $400 to replace this defective part.
2006 nissan murano drivers seat and sun visor. My 2006 nissan murano has had two parts fail that I believe are a safety concern and warrant a recall. The 1st part is the drivers seat. I'm not a large person but the left side seat bracket broke and now my seat rocks left and right. I can't raise the seat up and down because only the right side works. The seat also bounces up and down. Apparently this is a very common problem with the murano and nissan's excuse is "wear and tear." seriously??? Nissan offered to replace the driver's seat for $1000 +. The second part that has failed is the driver's sun visor. Whenever I hit a bump, the sun visor swivels down and totally blocks the drivers view out the window. This is not safe. Nissan offered to replace the sun-visor for $350.
The driver side sun visor on our 2005 nissan murano no longer stays in position. The visor will just 'flop' down when hitting a bump or any other abrupt maneuver. When the visor flops down the vision of the driver becomes impaired. The driver can push the visor back up into its original position but the visor will then just flop down again without warning. The dealer will not replace the visor under any warranty. The owner of the vehicle is expected to pay between $400-$460 for a new visor replacement.
On my 2006 nissan murano, the driver's side sun visor will only stay in the full up position or fully down. To drive in the sun, I hold the visor up with one hand. Dealer has replaced a clip, but that did not work. They say the only solution is to replace ($400 +) the sunvisor.
Sun visor drops from desired position all the way down into line of sight on it's own.
Purchased a 2006 nissan murano and now the driver's side visor drops down causing a safety hazard whenever I hit any type of bump or swerve in the road. The passenger one already had to be replaced for the same issue. The failure occurs every day, several times per day. In searching the internet, I am finding that this is a common problem with these visors. Should not have to pay $400+ to fix something that is a common problem and should have been fixed by nissan a long time ago.
Driver side sun visor - nissan murano 2006 visor falls down constantly blocking the drivers view many, many people on the web are complainng of the same problem.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) VIN [xxx] 2006 murano sun visor driver side has been hanging, won't stay up or down. Also, the driver seat is rocking while driving because it's tilted on the left side.

On my 2006 nissan murano, the driver's side sun visor will not stay in the up position and causes difficulty seeing. I either have to "hunch down" to see well or hold the visor up with one hand.
The driver side sun visor on my 2006 murano is defective and nissan's gold extended warranty and nissan corp is claiming this shouldn't be covered. This is clearly a defective mechanical problem with the visor which should be covered; considering it blocks the drivers view while driving when it abruptly comes down nissan should take great care in taking care of this issue. This is something I've complained about since 2008 when it started with a small rattling sound coming from the mechanism but the dealership refused to admit the problem was the visor and tried to point to the plastic clip holding the visor in place. It would tragic for someone to experience and accident for this problem and it would be great if someone would put this issue under review as soon as possible.
Driver's side sun visor does not stay in a static position. Visor can either be locked upright, or if unlocked and in use, falls straight down blocking the view of the road. The visor falls every time I use it, and I can not get it to stay put. I was told the visor was outside of my warranty and would cost approximately $400 to replace. I see several other complaints online about the exact same problem.
The driver side sun visor on my 2006 nissan murano is defective and is no longer covered under the manufacturer warranty. It has not been overused, however, the visor falls abruptly at various times while driving blocking the driver's vision momentarily. It has not caused an accident, however, driving with it as it is can possibly cause an accident during that moment of obstructed vision while driving on a highway, especially at night time. The dealer or the extended warranty for my vehicle does not cover this cost and the replacement cost is ridiculously expensive.
My 2006 nissan murano sun visor will not stay up , it will drop down at will and block drivers view. A real safety issue. Nissan is aware of the problem but will not do anything about it. It is on several year models of nissans, especially the murano. Dealer wants 450.00 to replace it.
