2006 Nissan Murano visibility/wiper problems

“SUNVISOR NOT STAYING IN PLACE, FALLS TO IMPAIR VISIBILITY. BOTH SUNVISORS HAVE FAILED AND WILL NOT STAY UP, OR IN A POSITION. NISSAN IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE SAFETY OF ITS OWNERS/DRIVERS.”

“DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLIPS/FALLS DOWN. IT'S ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, CAUSING A DRIVING HAZARD. WHEN YOU PUSH THE VISOR UP, IT WON'T STAY AND KEEPS MINIMAL TENSION.”

“DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY FELL DOWNWARD AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE DRIVING OBSTRUCTING VIEW. NISSAN STATES NOT A PROBLEM, AND NOT A RECALL, AND NO WAY TO FIX . THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.”

“THE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT WILL DROP DOWN, AND IT TAKES THE DRIVERS ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET THE VISOR OUT OF YOUR FIELD OF VIEW. SEEM VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS NO CRASH, BUT WAS VERY VERY CLOSE TO ONE. SCARY! *TR”

“WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY CAME DOWN SO AS TO BLOCK MY VISION OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THIS STARTLED ME AND DISTRACTED ME WHILE I FLIPPED IT BACK TO ITS NORMAL UP POSITION. HOWEVER IT DID NOT STAY UP. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND IS ABOUT $250 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. TO THIS DAY IT WILL STAY UP FOR AWHILE BUT WILL COME DOWN ESPECIALLY IF IT IS WARM IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR”

“STARTED NOTICING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN FOR NO REASON. I NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS THING FALLING DOWN. THEY HAVE BIG ADDS ABOUT TEXTING WHILE DRIVING AND ITS DANGERS. HOW ABOUT A COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION @ 70 MPH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN MANY TIMES AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A REPLY. I HAVE VISITED NISSAN MURANO FORUM SITES. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT NHTSA WOULD WANT TO WORK TO PREVENT A DEATH RATHER THAN WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE OR A FAMILY IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THESE VISORS. BUT THEN AGAIN IF THAT DEATH WAS CAUSED BECAUSE OF THE VISOR, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KNOW. THEIR DEAD. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR”
