Nissan Murano Visibility Safety Report | Nov 01, 2009
Reported on Nov 01, 2009
| I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. RECENTLY, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT HOLD A DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT. IT STAYS (FOR NOW) IN THE UPWARD POSITION BUT WHEN I PUT IT DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN IT DANGLES, IS THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT IN THE POSITION NEEDED TO BLOCK THE SUN. IT IS EITHER ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN, NO POSITION IN BETWEEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR TWO REASONS. TAKING ONE HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT USING THE VISOR WHEN I HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL IS BLINDING. IF A CAR, PERSON OR ANIMAL SHOULD MOVE INTO MY PATH I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THEM WITHOUT THE VISOR DOWN. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DRIVING UP THE HILL HOME IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. IT IS GETTING WEAKER WHEN HOLDING THE UPWARD POSITION, IT WILL GET TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. WHEN I ASKED THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT REPAIRING IT I WAS GIVEN A PRICE OF $450.00 JUST FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS. *TR | |
