Nissan Murano Visibility Safety Report | June 01, 2010
Reported on June 01, 2010
| DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS STARTLING TO THE DRIVER. WHEN IT DROPS DOWN IT ALSO IMPAIRS VISION. IT CAN DROP 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BANKSTON NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN LEWISVILLE, TX, AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED COSMETIC AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YRS. OLD AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR WOULD BE $458.00. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A LESS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT VISOR I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, FROM AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2004. THE VISOR HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. THIS SUN VISOR, IN IT'S PRESENT CONDITION, CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING AN AUTO ACCIDENT. *TR | |
