2005 Nissan Murano visibility problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISORS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.”

“THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD OR "NOT IN USE" POSITION. I CAN BE DRIVING AND IT WILL FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MY CAR BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND TALKING WITH DEALERSHIP IT IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE BUT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED BY RECALL BECAUSE NISSAN HAS NOT GIVEN THEM THE "OKAY." IN ORDER TO FIX PROBLEM A NEW VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED WITH VISOR PART ALONE COSTING $200+. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO PULL OVER THE EXTENSION VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO HOLD UP THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL STILL FALL DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES BLOCKING MY VISION AND AT TIMES AT VERY CRUCIAL MOMENTS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT PRODUCT INSTALLED BY NISSAN. IN THE BEGINNING I TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO FIX BUT TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE NOW BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF YOUR WEBSITE, WHICH I BELIEVE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE FILED WITH NISSAN, AND MAY HAVE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I HOPE YOUR COMPANY CAN HELP GET THIS RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVING A MURANO WITH THIS…”

“I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 MURANO. I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH HYDROPLANING SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND ON GUARD WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR EVEN WHEN STREETS ARE WET. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH BRAND NEW TIRES AND TIRES THAT WERE SLIGHTLY WORN SO THE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM, UNLESS ITS THE TYPE OF TIRE BUT ITS NOT THE TREAD ON THE TIRE. THE CAR CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE P235/65 R18 TIRES AND I HAVE REPLACED WITH SAME TIRES WHEN NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED OF TREAD WEAR. ON JULY 22, 2013 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM GATLINBURG WITH DAUGHTER AND 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN CAR. WE WERE CAUGHT IN DOWNPOUR GOING THROUGH KNOXVILLE. I TRULY CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE ALIVE. MY CAR WOULD CONTINUALLY LOSE TRACTION AND IT WOULD SLIDE TO ONE SIDE UNTIL IT WOULD GRAB TRACTION BEFORE GOING OFF THE ROAD OR WRECKING. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE MURANO IN REGARDS TO HYDROPLANING. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR COMING DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP SINCE A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY MURANO AND DUE TO HYDROPLANING SAFETY ISSUE I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE.…”

“THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM 6'1"AND MY SON IS 6'9" AND WE CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW WHEN WE DRIVE. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A COMMON THING WITH THIS CAR. IT COSTS LIKE $300. TO FIX. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSA KNOWS ABOUT IT AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGE. *TR”

“ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED NEW IN 2005. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION AND MUST BE HELD IN PLACE BY OTHER MEANS .(I AM CURRENTLY USING A BUNGEE CORD THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE VISOR CLIP AND RAN ACROSS TO THE DRIVERS SIDE ROOF HANDLE ABOVE WINDOW TO HOLD THE VISOR UP SO THAT I HAVE ADEQUATE VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD). WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REPOSITION THE VISOR IN THE UP AND LOCK POSITION I HEARD A POPPING SOUND. AFTER THAT, THE VISOR HAS FAILED TO STAY LOCKED IN THE UP AND FLAT POSITION, KEEPING IT FLUSH AGAINST THE INTERIOR ROOF. IF NOT USING ANOTHER MEANS TO KEEP THE VISOR UP, IT WILL REMAIN IN THE DOWN POSITION AND BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW. DOES NOT HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO REMAIN AT AN ANGLE TO BLOCK SUN, ONLY HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. *TR”

“ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD SPORADICALLY UNLOCK OR LOCK DOOR...NOW IS ALL THE TIME AND MUST BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING ENTER THE VEHICLE IN AN UN SECURE ENVIRONMENT OR CAN RESULT IN STOLEN MERCHANDISE OR PARTS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO WELL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND DROPS SUDDENLY BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. *TR”
