Nissan Murano Visibility/wiper Safety Report | May 02, 2011
Reported on May 02, 2011
| DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPPED BY ITSELF FROM STORAGE UP POSITION TO ALMOST COMPLETELY BLOCK MY VIEW OF THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC. COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL I DUCKED DOWN TO SEE THE ROAD. VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP OR STAY IN ANY REASONABLE POSITION SUCH THAT IT COULD BE USED FOR DRIVING. SINCE THAT ORIGINAL INCIDENT, HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES - CHECKING WITH NISSAN YIELDED NO SATISFACTORY RESPONSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND BASED ON REVIEWING ONLINE FORUMS, IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM FOR MANY, MANY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER OWNERS REPORT THAT REPLACING THE PART IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO NOW BEEN OCCURRING WIT THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR. *TR | |
