The sun visors constantly will not stay up. this happened first on the passengers side and now on the drives side. this is a safety issue! these sun visors falling down can block your vision while you are driving. this is going to cost almost $600.00 to fix at the dealership! this is ridiculous and should be a recall on nissan's part, not charge some outrageous price to fix. i am completely appalled at this. *tr

2004 nissan murano. consumer states sun visor will not stay in place. it will not stay up and out of the way. *tgw the consumer stated the sun visor has been replaced four times. *jb

For no visible reason, the driver's side visor dropped down and could not be put back into place. it refuses to stay up. in the down position the view is cut in half and renders the vehicle unsafe for sustained driving. i believe this is a total manufacturer defect.

2004 nissan murano driver's side sun visor repeatedly falls down and will not stay up causing a serious safety issue. the consequences could be fatal if not fixed. i have had 2 incidents where i was close to being hit by another car due to the visor falling. the visor fell as i was approaching an intersection in which it caused me to go through a red light. i have contacted nissan consumer affairs and they told me i had to take it to a dealership for them to verify that it was an issue. i then contacted nissan consumer affairs back to let them know it was verified that it was a problem and that a regional specialist would contact me. i talk to the regional specialist and she needed the documentation from the dealership. she now has it and i'm waiting for a response now. this all started just a couple of weeks ago with nissan. if the safety issue is not resolved by their expense then i'm talking to a good friend that is an investigative reporter for a local news company. *tr

Driver's side sun visor suddenly flopped down and blocked my wife's view of the road. it will not stay up. after listening to her complaints for weeks, i finally took it the dealership to get a new one. they want $182.59 plus tax just for the part! that doesn't even include labor to install. the dealership told me i was lucky because it used to cost $425. that is ludicrous! i have found dozens of similar complaints on this very website. it is a serious safety issue and it is obviously a systemic problem. i didn't realize how much it affected your driving until i drove it today. we are in the market for a new car and i can guarantee it will not be a nissan or infiniti. $200 for a $20 sun visor is insane! *tr

The driver side sunvisor suddenly fell down striking my wife in the fore head and causing her to run off the roadway. she was safely able to re-enter the roadway without over correcting and having an accident. this has happened several times, finally to the point that i have removed the sunvisor. i have twin seven year olds with autism that ride in this vehicle several times a week. i have read of several other owners of murano's with the same issue. as a police officer and paramedic this is a safety issue that the manufacturer needs to address, before someone is seriously injured. *tr

My nissan murano has a defective driver side visor. it constantly falls from the "up position" into drivers vision. this caused an accident!!! i was traveling downhill on a snow/ice covered road, i hit a bump and the visor fell into my vision i reached to put the visor back into the up position. pushed it into place and it immediately fell again i pushed it back up(distracting my attention from the road in front of me) and noticed a car stopped in the middle of the road, i swerved to miss the stalled car, i avoided hitting the car but as i swerved i ran over black ice the car got sideways and hit a concrete barricade.

Nissan murano 2004 -- sun visor on drivers side is not staying up. as i am driving ( sometimes with my kids) the sun visor drops down blocking my view. this is a big safety issue and i'm surprised no one has been injured or sued nissan for this. i have noticed many other people have the same complaint. the dealer wants $400.00 to put in a new one -- when this should never happen. *tr

The driver side sun visor does not stay up. when driving, it will occasionally and randomly fall into the down position, blocking the view of the road. this has happened at least a dozen times in the past year and a half of driving my 04 murano. the last time it happened it was at night and i happened to be driving at night. the visor dropped while in the middle of going around a curve. luckily no one was in the oncoming traffic lane and disaster was averted. but this could have been a very ugly incident. i have not replaced the visor components yet, because of the cost of the repair. *tr

2004 nissan murano. passenger side and driver side sun visors keep falling down and blocking view while driving. it is getting progressively worse. started falling as a result of any jarring while driving (pot hole, uneven road, etc). now, will happen when suddenly pressing on the brakes while in city traffic. really is a safety hazard. first, the surprise of the visor suddenly dropping down and second having your view obscured while in traffic. really need to look into this issue. *tr

My 2004 nissan murano has a defective driver-side sun visor problem. it keeps falling down and will also not stay up. this is a safety issue because when i am driving the vehicle, the visor will flop down without warning and cause me to become distracted, which could cause me to have an accident. also, if i put it down, it will not stay in the position i place it in. i believe this is a defective part in the nissan murano. i have noticed on the internet that many people have been complaining about this issue and that nissan refuses to cover this under warranty or under a recall. there was even a nissan auto technician who anonymously admitted that this was a mechanical failure because he has to replace the visor part on many vehicles he has worked on. can you do anything about this? *tr

O own a 2004 nissan murano. my incident relates to the interior sun visor on these vehicles. i have had these replaced several times now due to the fact they will not hold in place in the upright position. when this part fails the sun visor drops into a position that can partially block drivers vision. the last replacement of this part on my vehicle was in early 2008. this part has fail once again and is now partially blocking the drivers vision. *tr

I own a 2004 nissan murano. front wheel drive. my driver side sun visor does not stay up any more? it started falling down in 2007, by 2009 i had to remove the lighted mirror to decrease the weight so that the visor would not have the added weight pulling the visor down. i tried to wrap duck tape around the visor plastic tab but the visor stills falls after awhile. it now just falls every time i go out for a drive. nissan dealership and auto maker will not make good on this defective product!!! *tr
