Nissan Murano Visibility Safety Report | July 18, 2011
Reported on July 18, 2011
| HELLO - I HAVE BEEN READING MULTIPLE THREADS ON THE NISSAN FORUM, ON FACEBOOK AND ELSEWHERE REGARDING NISSAN MURANO SUN VISORS FROM 2006 AND OTHER YEARS THAT FAIL AND FLOP DOWN.... ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THIS IS NOT AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE, HOWEVER, ON THE DRIVER S SIDE IT IS... AN UNEXPECTED BLOCKED SIGHT VISION COUPLED WITH TRAFFIC WILL (IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY) RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH TO SOMEONE....THE TWO VISORS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. NISSAN WILL FIX IT (IF UNDER WARRANTY) BUT THEY ARE COUNTING ON THE FAILURE HAPPENING AFTER WARRANTY AND THEN CHARGING A HEFTY PRICE FOR A DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACEMENT, AND/OR HUMAN INGENUITY TO ALLOW OWNERS TO TRY FIX THE PROBLEM THEM SELVES.... VELCRO DOES NOT WORK, SWITCHING VISORS LEADS TO THE VANITY MIRROR DOOR FLOPPING DOWN AS WELL..... WE HAVE SUCH AN ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO... IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR NISSAN TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE ON 2006 AND OTHER TEARS WHICH USE PART # 96401 FOR A DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BEFORE THEY ARE FACED WITH A LAWSUIT... A COPY OF THIS COMPLAINT IS GOING TO MY PERSONAL ATTORNEY.... THANK YOU.... *TR | |
