I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE "SUN VISOR" HAS FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR DROPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE ON ALL NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE LEFT REAR SEAT HINGE BROKE IN TWO PIECES. NO EXTREME WEAR OR TEAR DONE TO THIS SEAT, AND THE METAL BROKE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE OBVIOUS, IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT OR SIMPLY NORMAL DRIVING, THE SAFETY OF THE SEAT IS COMPROMISED. NISSAN CHARGES AROUND $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. SEAT BRACKETS SHOULD NEVER FAIL, ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE NUMBERS BEING REPORTED. *TR

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

WE ALSO HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, MY DAUGHTER ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT IN ORLANDO, FL WHERE IS SHE IS A STUDENT!!!. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS EXTREMELY STARTLING TO THE DRIVER WHEN IT DROPS DOWN AND IMPAIRS VISION. ALSO IT CAN DROP 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. WE ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN HERE IN TAMPA, FL AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED "COSMETIC" AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTYAND ALSO CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC THING, IT'S A TRUE DANGER! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FROM NISSAN TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING, SOMEONE GETTING KILLED!!! TO REPLACE THE STUPID SUN VISOR WOULD BE OVER $400.00, NISSAN SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE FOLKS A DISCOUNT WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL, IT WOULD BE GOODWILL AND MAKE A LOT OF HAPPY, SAFE CUSTOMERS! *TR

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME/BRACKET/ANCHOR/RAIL THAT BREAKS OR FAILS. OUR VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AND INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER THE LOCAL NISSAN SHOP GURU INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED OF COURSE DOES NOT COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SEAT ON THE BROCHURE. LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD $1000+ TO REPAIR. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WOULD RE-OPEN THEIR INVESTIGATION AS IT WAS CLOSED ON 7/2/09 AND IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE TAKES A COUPLE OF YEARS TO MANIFEST. OUT OF THE 108 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED 23 WERE PRIOR TO THE DATE THE INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED 11/18/08, SO 85 WERE AFTER THAT OR MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION DUE TO ONGOING COMPLAINTS RELATING TO AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ISN'T THE OBJECTIVE TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY SOLD OVER 500,000 1ST GENERATION MURANOS(IT IS NOT JUST THE 2006 MODEL THAT HAS THESE ISSUES). SO IF IT IS $1,000 PER REPAIR ON A RECALL AT 500,000 UNITS THE TOTAL PRICE TAG IS 500 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS FIX. WELL NO WONDER WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. THAT IS REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE I BELIEVE. *TR

THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND "SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM" DUE TO THE SERIOUS SAFETY RISK! THEY WERE SYMPATHETIC TO THE ISSUE BUT UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE VISOR WITHOUT CHARGE FOR THE PART AND LABOR! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS VISOR ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! SINCE SEEING THE DEALER MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VISOR DROPPING INTO HER LINE OF SIGHT CAUSING HER TO HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT ALWAYS DROPS ALL THE WAY DOWN. SUN VISOR CANNOT BE ADJUSTED THE WAY YOU WANTED IT. DEALER CHARGE $350.00 TO REPLACE THE PART IN ORDER TO FIX IT AND IN THINK IT IS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT. A LOT OF MURANOS OWNER ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR VEHICLES AND I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR
