Problems with 2004 Nissan Murano VISIBILITY

I have a 2004 nissan murano. the driver sunvisor has failed. it is an extreme safety hazard to be driving down the road and have the visor drop down. i does not stay in the up position. when down, it's floppy. the dealer will not cover this item and replace. no deaths yet! *tr

The visor on my vehicles falls down, told spring is defective. nissan murano 2004. *tr

Sun visor falls constantly obstructing view while driving. *tr

Both sun visors in my 2004 nissan murano drop unexpectedly and won't stay in position. this creates a sudden and unexpected visibility issue. problems began about 18 months ago at about 42,000 mi. problem continues to worsen. i called nissan corporate but they were unable to correct the defect. *tr

I have a 2004 nissan murano sl. at about 40,000 miles, my driver side sun visor started falling. it will not stay in position, and hangs right in front of my face, unless i keep it tacked up with velcro. the passenger side visor also swings down sometimes, but not as bad as the driver side. i did an internet search on "murano sun visor" and found out very quickly that this is a widespread problem that needs to be addressed by nissan with a full resolution; i.e. recall. the dealer wants nearly $300 to replace one visor, which is likely to break again, according to several accounts in the message boards. this is a serious safety issue. i have almost had two collisions because of it, and once, i ran a red light because of it falling down. if i keep it tacked up, then of course there are times of the day when the sun is blinding me, so it is not safe no matter what i do. *tr

I have a 2004 nissan murano se. at approximately 50,000 miles, the drivers' side sun visor had some sort of internal mechanical failure which makes it fall down in front of my face while driving. my extended warranty company refuses to fix it, claiming it is a "trim" item, and the dealership claims it is no longer their problem as the car isn't under warranty. however, it seems to me that this is a safety item, since every time it falls down, it obscures my view of the roadway. when i searched online, i found many other nissan murano owners on online forums complaining of the same issue with their 2003 through 2006 muranos with relatively low mileage failures of this particular part. *tr

The sun visor on my 2004 nissan murano (with 25k miles) failed some time back, where it will not always stay in the up position, and unexpectedly falls blocking the field of vision. it is completely unusable in the side window position, and completely unpredictable in the front position. this caused a near wreck. while doing some online research i discovered this is a common problem with this vehicle. the dealers answer is to sell me a $300(!!!!) sun visor, plus installation. this is a clear mfg defect as no other car i've ever owned has had this problem in any amount of time or mileage. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. the contact stated that both the driver and passenger side sun visors would not remain in an upright position and was obstructing her view. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified nor was the vehicle diagnosed or repaired. the current mileage was 105,051. the approximate failure mileage was 32,000. the vin was unavailable.

Driver's side sun visor falls. on the internet and several other friends have this problem. it only happens on the driver's side. it can't be fixed, only replaced. i feel that this should be covered under warranty. the dealers that i have called have quoted $265 -$326. it is a safety issue because it falls down and obstructs my vision. *tr

Interior sun visors in 2003-2008 nissan muranos fail to stay in position and swing down in the driver's face. this occurrence is well documented and i have only heard of one case in which a nissan dealer covered the replacement under the extended warranty. i was told by the dealer that the extended warranty does not cover "trim parts", even when i insisted it is a safety issue. nissan quotes $300 per visor to replace, but there is no guarantee that the new visor won't break. if you google "nissan murano sun visor" you will get thousands of hits of people who are having the same problem. the nissan dealer would not reason with me that it is a safety issue when i brought it to them while still under warranty and they would not replace it. there was a recall on the clip that holds the visor, but this is a different issue. there is something wrong with these visors internally that cause them to drop and hang right in your line of sight. i have temporarily remedied the problem by affixing velcro to the ceiling, but i cannot use my visor when the sun is in my eyes. this is a serious safety hazard and should be recalled by nissan. i have put together a 20 page document of all the complaints i have found online relating to this issue, and i am determined to hold nissan accountable for this problem. *tr

The driver's side sun visor of my 2004 nissan murano will not stay in the up position. every time you go over the smallest bump it falls down covering the driver's view of the road unexpectedly. *tr

On my 2004 murano driver side sun visor falls down unexpectedly, quite often. in traffic, it's dangerous. dealer says not a warranty item, can fix for $400. i say it is a safety item, manufacturer must fix. this has been going on for two years. temporary (but unsatisfactory) fix is with velcro. *tr

The sun visor no longer stays in the mid-position. when flipping it down, it will only go in one position - completely down. luckily i am short and can see under it to drive, although it prevents my being able to see very far ahead without having to dip my head to do so. if i were any taller, this would be a major safety problem. there is apparently no fix for this without replacing the whole visor, which i am told is unreasonably expensive. *tr

Dear sir, we own a 2004 nissan murano that we bought new in may of 2004. the vehicle has performed great over the years; however, we do have one very important safety issue with the nissan murano which is the driver's side sun visor. as you are driving, the sunvisor will drop down blocking the view of the roadway. i have also spoken with another nissan murano owner who stated that she has experienced the same problem. also, i ran an internet search for "problems with a nissan murano sunvisor" and discovered numerous blogs submitted by individuals who have experienced the exact same problem with their nissan muranos. i strongly feel that this issue needs to be investigated before someone is very seriously injured or perhaps killed because they were unable to see the roadway. *tr

Driver-side sun visor will not stay in place and falls, blocking driver's view. the only alternative is to not use it and keep it in the "up" position; however, without being able to use this to block the sun, the morning and late afternoon will blind you. sunglasses do not help that much. i emailed nissan about this app. one year ago but never received a reply. the extended warranty will not cover it, either. there are complaints about this from others that i have found online. replacement cost is expensive, about $240 and entire visor must be replaced, not just a part of it. *tr

Own a 2004 nissan murano and it is a common problem for sun visors to fail and hang straight down while driving obstructing your view of the road. nissan probably does not show alot of replacement visor being sold since they charge over $300.00 for each visor. just came from dealer and he said it was a common problem and to just use velcro????? *tr

The sun visor on my car keeps (flopping) down and falling into my view, restricting my sight while i am driving. i t will not stay in the "up position". a few times i had some close calls, but no actual incident. the dealer said that it was not under warranty any longer and it would cost approx. $250 to fix...if i had the $ to fix it i would, but i don't. also, i feel that they should fix it...the warranty was only a few months over. *tr

We purchased a certified used 2004 nissan murano in march 2006. within 6 mos, the driver's side sun visor started falling by itself, impairing the vision of the driver unexpectedly. the problem worsened until it just now hangs permanently straight down. in order to drive safely, we have to drive with it permanently to the side position which then blocks our side vision. there is no way to drive the murano without vision impairment of some sort. *tr

Sun visor droops on its own from desired position all the way down into line of sight creating a dangerous situation for driving

Dear sir, we own a 2004 nissan murano that we bought new in may of 2004. the vehicle has performed great over the years; however, we do have one very important safety issue with the nissan murano which is the driver's side sun visor. as you are driving, the sunvisor will drop down blocking the view of the roadway. this is the third time the part has become defective. the first time, the vehicle was under warrant; the second time, we paid for the new sunvisor; and now, the problem has returned. we have contacted nissan concerning the defective sunvisor and we are currently awaiting their response. i have also spoken with another nissan murano owner who stated that she has experienced the same problem. also, i ran an internet search for "problems with a nissan murano sunvisor" and discovered numerous blogs submitted by individuals who have experienced the exact same problem with their nissan muranos. i strongly feel that this issue needs to be investigated before someone is very seriously injured or perhaps killed because they were unable to see the roadway. *tr

There seems to be a defect in the wiper system on the murano. after a snowstorm i cleaned the windshield of snow and turned on the wipers. snow blew off the top of the car, the right wiper pushed it down. as a result the right wiper could not go down completely. this threw off the timing of the left and right wiper and the two got tangled and bend. a new left wiper was ordered and paid for from nissan on feb 3, 2004. in the meantime the wiper were bend back into position. earlier this week it snowed again sand the same thing happened and now the wipers are totally mangled. it has been over 3 weeks since i paid for a new wiper and the parts dept at nissan in englewood cliffs nj tells me they are on back order and cannot be obtained. the service dept at the same dealer tells me the wipers shouldn't be used when there is snow. i would like to know if i am the only one with the problem why is there a backorder. the car cannot be used in the rain nor snow. *nm

Failure of driver side sun visor. suddenly falls causing a safety issue. dealer replaced once and second visor also failed. *tr

Drivers side sunvisor on a 2004 nissan murano while driving the vehicle, the sunvisor falls from its upright position to the down position, thus blocking the driver's field of view, causing a major safety concern. nissan has issued a service bulletin (#03-081a) covering these visors, which shows that they are aware of the problem. however, they will not stand behind their product to remedy this situation without charging the consumer in excess of $400 - $500 to repair it. there has not been a wreck yet, but its only a matter of time when the driver cannot see. we have been to the service dept on numerous occasions, but they will not fix the problem. this problem happens constantly while driving. *tr
