Nissan Murano Visibility Safety Report | Jan 01, 2008
Reported on Jan 01, 2008
| I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO SL. AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED FALLING. IT WILL NOT STAY IN POSITION, AND HANGS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, UNLESS I KEEP IT TACKED UP WITH VELCRO. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR ALSO SWINGS DOWN SOMETIMES, BUT NOT AS BAD AS THE DRIVER SIDE. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON MURANO SUN VISOR AND FOUND OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN WITH A FULL RESOLUTION; I.E. RECALL. THE DEALER WANTS NEARLY $300 TO REPLACE ONE VISOR, WHICH IS LIKELY TO BREAK AGAIN, ACCORDING TO SEVERAL ACCOUNTS IN THE MESSAGE BOARDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST HAD TWO COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF IT, AND ONCE, I RAN A RED LIGHT BECAUSE OF IT FALLING DOWN. IF I KEEP IT TACKED UP, THEN OF COURSE THERE ARE TIMES OF THE DAY WHEN THE SUN IS BLINDING ME, SO IT IS NOT SAFE NO MATTER WHAT I DO. *TR | |
