THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY DROPS, BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. FOR ME IT COMPLETELY OBSCURES MY VIEW. THIS WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR (REPAIR COSTS IN EXCESS OF $435 QUOTED TO ME). I HAVE READ PAGES AND PAGES OR ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2003 MODEL YEAR THROUGH 2006. NISSAN DOES NOT OFFER A REPAIR OR RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. PROBLEM BEGAN ~40K MILEAGE. DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN UP POSITION FOR MORE THAN FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING, LESS IF ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE VISOR CANNOT BE SET TO HOLD ANY POSITION OTHER THAN VERTICAL AT 90 DEGREES, CAUSING SEVERE DIMINISHED VISIBILITY. VISOR WILL DROP WITHOUT WARNING CREATING HAZARD. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $400. HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE USED PART FOR REPLACEMENT. VISOR TEMPORARILY HELD IN PLACE WITH PACKAGE SEALING TAPE, BUT THIS TOO IS A HAZARD IF NEEDING TO USE VISOR TO SHIELD DIRECT SUNLIGHT. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOUND ON INTERNET SEARCH. APPEARS TO BE FAULTY PART FROM NISSAN. SEVERE ACCIDENTS ARE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. RECENTLY, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT HOLD A DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT. IT STAYS (FOR NOW) IN THE UPWARD POSITION BUT WHEN I PUT IT DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN IT DANGLES, IS THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT IN THE POSITION NEEDED TO BLOCK THE SUN. IT IS EITHER ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN, NO POSITION IN BETWEEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR TWO REASONS. TAKING ONE HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT USING THE VISOR WHEN I HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL IS BLINDING. IF A CAR, PERSON OR ANIMAL SHOULD MOVE INTO MY PATH I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THEM WITHOUT THE VISOR DOWN. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DRIVING UP THE HILL HOME IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. IT IS GETTING WEAKER WHEN HOLDING THE UPWARD POSITION, IT WILL GET TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. WHEN I ASKED THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT REPAIRING IT I WAS GIVEN A PRICE OF $450.00 JUST FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS. *TR

DRIVING MY 2006 MURANO WHEN SUDDENLY THE SEAT LURCHED DOWN TO THE LEFT AFTER A LOUD SNAP. DEALER SAID MY SEAT FRAME HAD A BROKEN WELD, AND A NEEDED REPLACEMENT WOULD COST $1,150.00., EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN. I PAID FOR THE SEAT, AND IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 63,000 MILES AND IT WAS ALWAYS WELL MAINTAINED. I AM NOT AN USUALLY LARGE MAN, 225 LBS. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS FAILURE, AND REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR POOR SAFETY DESIGN. *TR

SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR TALL DRIVERS TO SEE THE ROAD. VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE OTHER HAND IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. DEALER WANTS $500 TO REPLACE VISOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2003-2007 MURANOS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO WHEN SHE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. THE DRIVER SEAT, WHICH WOBBLES, LEANED FREELY TO THE RIGHT AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GO INTO THE DITCH. LUCKILY, SHE WAS NOT INJURED AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN OUT OF THE DITCH. THIS ISSUE WITH THE SEAT HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED AS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THE SEAT NOW CONSTANTLY WOBBLES AND LEANS FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID A NEW BRACKET WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED, WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1000. *TR
