2006 Nissan Murano visibility complaints

Approx 8/2009 I had my driver side visor replaced after sudden failure to remain upright. It would flop down while driving to block expected view and/or stay at an angle that would have hit me right in the middle of my forehead, being tall, as is my husband, should an accident cause any forward body movement. Nissan has replaced the driver side under warranty and now just 1 day ago the passenger side also did the exact same failure. My husband was the passenger and he kept saying "boy I don't like this would catch me right in the middle of my forehead if we got hit" it won't stay up so it has to always stay down now which restricts night time driving. I "googled" murano visor complaints and there are many of the exact same complaints!!! I would like to request you review this as a big danger for visual restriction during night or sudden unexpected limits during day driving upon dropping down and possible facial injury upon any impact. Thank you very much.
2006 nissan murano sunvisors (driver and passenger) continually drop down during driving. They rotate from a "up" position to a "down" position on their own. Average road vibration / driving conditions constantly causes this to happen. Once the visors are "down", they block the view of the road while driving. These are not covered under normal factory warranty or extended warranty. Part cost for each visor is $400.00 from nissan....does not include installation costs. Nissan will not replace these under recall / warranty / tsb. Looking to get resolution to this problem, as it seems to be rather widespread / occurring amongst fellow murano owners.
I own a 2006 nissan murano that has a defective part in the driver's side visor causing it to fall in the driver's face. The only way to fix is to use velcro or hold up with one hand while driving. This is dangerous as the velcro is only a temporary fix as it is not strong enough to hold up the heavy visor and continually falls in the face of the driver. The visor malfunction started happening around 50k miles and is not covered under nissan's warranty. The visor can be replaced, but at a cost of near $500. I feel that this defect in the visor should be covered by nissan as it is a safety hazard while driving. I believe this to be a widespread problem as I have read similar complaints on nissan auto forums.
The driver side sunvisor on my 2006 nissan murano refuses to stay up and continually drops in front of my face while driving unless I hold it with one hand. Nissan knows the problem and refuses to help for less than $400-$500.
While driving my 2006 murano, I went over a set of train tracks which is quickly followed by an intersection. Just before I hit the tracks, a car pulled out in front of me from the upcoming intersection. As I went over the tracks applying the brakes, the drivers side sunvisor dropped obstructing my view of traffic. I nearly missed an accident. The sunvisor falling into the drivers view at random is a definite problem. I have searched the forums online and found this to be a common problem for the sunvisors to fail. A replacement at the dealer is about $500. Nissan does not see the safety issue in this and will not replace the dangerous sunvisors once out of the 3 year 36000 mile warranty. Mine failed at 3 years and 2 months, with 32000 miles on the vehicle. I tell you about the one time I almost was in a serious accident because of the sunvisor, but it falls down in my face on a regular basis. About every 20 or so minutes of driving. Nissan needs to recall their dangerous sunvisors, they can drop down in the drivers view at any time. I nearly hit a lady in the drivers door.
Driver's-side visor suddenly became unable to stay at a secure angle, which causes a recurring visibility problem. It no longer stays at a secure position if it is not flipped up flat against the headliner. This precludes using it as intended to block sun from shining directly into driver's eyes. If not flat against the headliner, it only hangs straight down and completely blocks line-of-sight while driving, regardless of whether the visor's end is secured or not in its clip. To avoid sun shining directly and unsafely into eyes, it's necessary to hold the visor at necessary angle with one hand, leaving only one hand on the steering wheel. It may sound like a minor problem - - until you regularly experience having to make a choice between being literally blinded by the sun while driving or having to use one hand to hold the visor up. It is no longer covered by my now-expired 36 mo/3 yr warranty. Dealers estimate to repair: $400.00.
Driver's side visor will not stay up.
Driver's side sunvisor partially hangs down.
Sun visor on 2006 murano does not stay up or in the proper place. I have to either hold or use my hand as a shield from glare of sun. I am very disappointed to see that others have the same complaint. I always felt that the interior quality of the murano was good. I believe that there should be a recall since this does not appear to be an isolated incident.
2006 nissan murano sl driver and passenger side sun visors suddenly drop without warning; when needed to block the sun when driving they do not stay in place, they just hang straight down. The visors started falling within 1 month of each other; it is not covered under warranty; replacements cost $400 apiece. I feel the cost is prohibitive and unreasonable and should be included in a recall as it causes a safety hazard when driving.
2006 nissan murano w/ 35,000 mi. - driver's side sun visor won't stay in position- very dangerous- sun in eyes and must hold it in place. Dealer wants over $400.00 to replace!!!
Sun visor flips down, blocking driver's view unexpectedly.
My driver side sun visor on my 2006 nissan murano does not stay in place and falls down in my line of site. It will not stay open or closed. It just hangs down, blocking my view. I have since removed it from the vehicle, as the dealer wants $400 to replace it.
Driver side sun visor will not stay up, all the time.
The driver side sun visor falls down during driving. There are tons of complaints from other nissan drivers who are having the same problem with the same and different year model. This is a serious safety hazard and should be the responsibility of nissan to recall and fix. I have nearly crashed dozens of times while driving because the visor falls down and blocks my view.
Driver side sun visor fails to stay up. This causes a vision problem that impedes driving severely!!
My driver side sun visor has failed and pops down with every hard bump in the road. This seems to have failed on a lot of 2006 nissan murano's. This is a safety issue if it blocks sight at the wrong time.
Tl* - the contact has a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated that in the midst of driving the windshield wipers would completely stop working until the following day. The contact stated that this was a design problem because the ice went down below the hood, and it stopped the windshield wipers from working. The ice prevented the windshield wipers from going all the way down and then come back up. The contact stated that the windshield wipers must be able to go all the way down in order for them to work properly. She would just like to have it fixed, because she did not want to be afraid to drive in a storm. The contact was told by the dealer that she should lift the hood and clean the area where the windshield wipers were. This happened once before in another storm, and she was able to get the windshield wipers going again. Each time this happened the contact was in a bad storm. The failure and current mileage were both 4600 .*ak update *4/23/07
