Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. While driving various speeds at night, the high and low beam headlights would not illuminate through the plastic light covers. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Driver's side visor broke causing major visibility issue. Would hang down and block driver's view. Broke just after warranty ended. There was no way to keep it up without $250 replacement visor. Service advisor said he had numerous issues with multiple consumers. Stated he felt it should be a recall.
Driver's side sun visor will no longer stay in place and is a safety issue. It will flop down at any time while driving. It has progressively gotten worse and now I will have to remove it completely. It appears that this is a common problem that is not being addressed.
2007 nissan murano s sun visor both driver as well as passenger mal-function. I choose visibility/wiper because the sun visor obstructs vision (*visibility*) when it drops down in view while driving at no given warning. Its dangerous and would have caused an accident if there was a vehicle coming from opposite direction at the time of occurrence. The cost of these sun visors are expensive and nissan should recall these or at least fix them at no cost.
First problem was the driver side visor which kept flopping down causing a hazard blocking the driver's vision. Second problem happen later, the driver seat broke while driving, left rear bracket broke. Call and wrote to nissan customer service and was told both problems were out of warranty and they would not honor my claim. This is the third nissan that I have owned, and will never buy another nissan product. For a vehicle that has less than 100k miles to have these problems and for nissan not to cover the problem shows a true lack of customer service.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that the sun roof shattered without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 23,000.
My drivers side visor has started flopping down into my line of vision. Whether it's forward toward the windshield or up against the roof's interior. It's gotten progressively worse and is a serious concern, especially when my 6'0 husband is driving.
The driver side visor has become loose and will fall while you are driving. It happens intermittently. This is unsafe for drivers traveling on the highway. Our other option is to remove it, then you risk the sun in your eyes driving east/west. Dealership wants to charge over 400.00 to replace this item. It should be viewed as a safety concern.
Driver side visor will not stay up, blinding the driver or significantly reducing visibility.
The sunvisor on the drivers side falls down without warning. This temporarily blocks the forward view. Very dangerous and scary. Visor will not stay out of way. Many complaints on internet, nissan will not repair, and wants expensive part to be purchased with no warranty that problem will not happen again. Defective part. Please help!
The driver side visor constantly flops down when driving. It is very unsafe, and could create an accident.
The sun visor on the driver's side flaps down unexpectedly and will not stay up, causing an impairment in visibility and distraction in driving. I contacted nissan who was of no assistance. I am the only owner of the vehicle and purchased it new. There is only 70,000 miles on it. In speaking to other nissan owners, they confirmed this problem in nissan vehicles. Please research this issue.
The drivers side sun visor started falling down, impairing sight of the road. After about 1 month of falling, it would no longer stay up at all. I've had to pull out the side visor from the passenger side visor to 'prop" the drivers side up. Now the passenger side visor is starting to fall. I've read numerous complaints of this same issue, but there has not been a recall. I have no choice but to completely remove the visor if I am to see the road.
The driver's side visor fails to stay in the up position. It unexpectedly falls to the down position while the car is in motion. The failure of the visor creates a hazard by limiting the driver's ability to see where they're going.
The drivers side visor slowly started dropping on its own. My visor will stay up sometimes but given a little time it will never stay up. I read of this in other model years but never experienced it in mine until the last 4 months. And now it has gone from an annoyance to a liability. If I crash because of this I'm suing the he'll out of nissan as it's a known issue and they won't fix it. Never encountered a similar issue in the 7 other vehicles I've owned.
Driver's sun visor drops unexpectedly--severely interferes with ability to see out front window.
While driving on the highway, my situational awareness was extremely compromised when my driver's side sun visor inadvertently came down and would no longer stay in the upright position. I had to drive with it this way for the rest of my trip (over 2 hours) with heavy rain. It was dangerous as my visibility was substantially obstructed with the visor. A quick search in the internet revealed that this is a somewhat common occurrence due to poor visor design and nissan seems to be overlooking the issue. Replacement visors are several hundred dollars and seem to fail alike in the same spot (the arm headliner attachment). If nissan won't re-engineer the part to correct the problem, they should replace it free of charge. This is a safety issue bound to reoccur.
Left visor keeps falling down causing restricted view. At first I thought I was the only one that had this complaint, but reading the bulletin boards it is a common problem. I feel this is a safety hazard which nissan refuses to take responsibility for. I know two other owners that have encountered the same problem. One of the removed the visor because it was too expensive to fix. Could you please look into this. The interior is not listed on your choices so I picked body. Thank you so much.
While driving along the drivers side visor dropped down blocking my view. Just as this happened the car in front of me hit the brakes to stop and I couldn't see the brake lights! I came within inches of running into the back of their car! I can't afford what the dealer charges for a replacement visor and it's difficult to always remember to keep one hand on the visor as I drive! I'm worried that this will cause an accident, not only for me but for other nissan owners too.
Drivers side sun visor will unexpectedly drop down from the horizontal position when vehicle goes over minor bump impairing the drivers vision. Sudden and unexpected loss of visibility can result in a major accident as the driver is unable to see in front of them until they are able to push the visor back up to the horizontal position.
Faulty sun visor drops easily when going over minor bump. It can easily cause an accident or crash when distracted to raise the sun visor to the normal position. This is a problem in nissan murano's everywhere. I am not sure how this has not been a recall yet.
When the temperature is less than 30 degrees, it appears that the pipes/hoses by which the windshield washer fluid circulates to the front windshield freeze. The windshield washer fluid is fine, but the driver can't wash the windshield because the window washer fluid doesn't come out. This presents a very dangerous condition when it snows and the streets have been treated. The slush/dirty snow floating from other cars sticks to the windshield, and the windshield glass gets very dirty to the point that the driver can't see where he/she is driving. I have called nissan and they recommended taking the car to a garage and keeping it running for two hours until the pipes thaw out. I don't have a garage, I am at work, and I need to drive back home in a slushy snowy day, but I can't wash the windshield with the window wipers because the fluid is not coming out to be able to wash it. Frankly, I am afraid to drive back home. The pipes need two hours to thaw out. It is unbelievable! My ride to work is 30 minutes.
Drver side sun visor drops suddenly while driving obstructing view. It drops again every time I hit a bump in the road.
While driving on a major interstate, with my visor pushed forward toward the windshield to block the sun, the driver's side visor falls into my line of vision. This causes me to swerve while entering a curve and just miss another vehicle. I quickly push up the visor and to my dismay, it will not stay upright; neither upright towards the windshield nor upright towards the ceiling. The dealership states this is not a recall and is not covered under the warranty. I have looked at multiple threads and spoken with multiple friends who have all had this same issue with the 1st generation nissan muranos (2003-2008). This is a safety issue and both driver's side and passenger's side visors should be recalled and replaced before someone gets hurt!
The sun visor drops down and blocks view while driving. The visor will not stay up and so we have to hold it while driving.
At speeds from 15 MPH and up to highway speeds driver sun visor is dropping down on minor bumps on the road covering driver visibilty.
The sun visor on the driver side will not stay up and falls into the line of sight while driving.
Drivers side visor failed to stay in the up position resulting in poor visibility.
I am filing a complaint on the sun visor. Both of the visors, driver side and passenger side would not stay up, flopped down, due to how outrageous the prices are, I have been velcro/hot gluing it to keep it up. It has been over two years and I just now succumbed to purchasing new visors. It is ridiculous that a consumer has to pay $386.63 for parts that is clearly a defect from nissan. Safety issue wise, our head hits the visors as it would not stay up. Nissan really need to have a recall on this issue and fix/repay what we have purchased. I am not the first and I know I will not the last to complain about this issue. I am seeking restitution, and I will go to any consumer complain site to spread this issue until there are results.
