2007 Nissan Murano visibility/wiper problems

“THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE AND KEEPS COMING DOWN WHICH BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AND THE CARS IN FRONT”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN FAILED TO SOUND WHEN PRESSED. THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE TURNED IN ORDER FOR THE HORN TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS NOT LOCKED, ALL THE OTHER WINDOWS WOULD OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.”

“THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. REALLY A SEAT BRACKET THAT BREAKS FROM FATIGUE OF ENTERING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE?!? SAFETY CONCERN SUN VISOR NO LONGER HOLDS ITS POSITION DUE TO PLASTIC THAT WEARS OUT. SAFETY ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT JUST OVER 100,000 MILES. REPORTS ALL OVER THE WEB ABOUT THIS. SO COMMON, AND SO EXPENSIVE. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES THAT ARE SO COMMON WITH ALL OF THESE MODELS. IT IS NOT JUST ME, THERE IS REPORT AFTER REPORT ON THE WEB. ALL THE SAME ISSUES.”

“"NISSAN MURANO" DRIVERS SEAT LEFT SIDE SEAT MOUNT BRACKET THAT MOUNTS TO FLOOR BOARDS CRACKED AND COMPLETELY BROKE CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. A HEAD ON COLLISION WAS CLOSELY AVOIDED. I CONTACTED KEN (XXXX) NISSAN IN MEDINA OHIO AND THEY SAID THAT NISSAN MOTORS WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE I FEEK IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE SHOUD BE RECALLED. I HAS THE SEAT WELDED SO IT WOULD WORK AGAIN BUT THE WELD EVENTUALLY FAILED. SEAT IS NOW BROKE.”

“VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP IN STORAGE. EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT BUT NOT SAFE. VISOR WILL SUDDENLY DROP OBSTRUCTING DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER VISORS BUT DRIVER IS WORSE. COMPLETELY OBSCURES VIEW OF ROAD AND IT IS UNPREDICTABLE WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. NO WAY TO TIGHTEN OR FIX. NO PROMISE THAT REPLACEMENT WON'T HAVE SAME PROBLEM.”

“IN 2011, MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPPED AS I WAS DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HAVE A WRECK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME CLOSE TO $700 TO REPLACE AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM. I HAVE TRIED ALL SORTS OF METHODS TO KEEP MY VISOR UP, BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED AND THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE. THERE ARE ALREADY 59 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE? SOMEONE TO HAVE A WRECK WHILE DRIVING? *TR”
