Problems with 2005 Nissan Murano VISIBILITY

I am the original owner of 2005 murano. i noticed a problem with hydroplaning soon after purchase, and have always been extremely careful and on guard when driving in rain or even when streets are wet. this would happen with brand new tires and tires that were slightly worn so the tires don't seem to be the problem, unless its the type of tire but its not the tread on the tire. the car came with goodyear eagle p235/65 r18 tires and i have replaced with same tires when nissan service department advised of tread wear. on july 22, 2013 i was on my way home from gatlinburg with daughter and 2 year old granddaughter in car. we were caught in downpour going through knoxville. i truly cannot believe we are alive. my car would continually lose traction and it would slide to one side until it would grab traction before going off the road or wrecking. something is terribly wrong with the murano in regards to hydroplaning. i also have had the problem with the driver's side visor coming down and will not stay up since a couple years after ...

The visor will not stay up. it is dangerous because i am 6'1"and my son is 6'9" and we can't see out of the window when we drive. this is supposedly a common thing with this car. it costs like $300. to fix. it is a safety issue and nissa knows about it and should have to fix it without charge. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. the contact stated that the sun visors fractured. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was 50,000.

Visor keeps falling down while driving. i almost got into a car accident couple times because visor fell down and blocked my view. i think nissan should recall this problem. i research this problem online and hundreds of people got the same problem. it's a very serious problem and should't be ignored.

The sun visor in my nissan murano flips down and does not stay up while driving. this is a safety hazard as it suddenly drops down on slightest of bumps and blocks the visibility. *tr

Electronic door lock on the driver side would sporadically unlock or lock door...now is all the time and must be locked manually. this is a safety hazard when trying enter the vehicle in an un secure environment or can result in stolen merchandise or parts left in the vehicle. driver side sun visor also well not stay in upright position and drops suddenly blocking the view of the driver. *tr

The driver side sun visor on my 2005 nissan murano will not stay in the "up" position. it can rotate to vertical at any time, blocking the driver's vision and distracting the driver's attention. replacement visors are $300 and up. nissan is in complete denial that this chronic problem exists. *tr

Original owner, purchased new in 2005. the driver side visor will not stay in up position and must be held in place by other means .(i am currently using a bungee cord that is attached to the visor clip and ran across to the drivers side roof handle above window to hold the visor up so that i have adequate visibility through the front windshield). when attempting to reposition the visor in the up and lock position i heard a popping sound. after that, the visor has failed to stay locked in the up and flat position, keeping it flush against the interior roof. if not using another means to keep the visor up, it will remain in the down position and blocks drivers view. does not have the flexibility to remain at an angle to block sun, only hangs straight down. *tr

The driver side visor fell down one day and will no longer stay in up position. it must be left down flush against the window which obstructs the drivers view of the roadway. the visor repair is covered by my warranty but my deductible is $200 and to fix the visor without the warranty is over $300. from what i have read, this is an ongoing issue and a serious safety issue for drivers. people who have gotten them replaced continue to have this issue and the visor should be recalled and replaced with one that works in every other car. there are a lot of complaints here and it doesn't appear that anyone is doing anything about it. *tr

Driver side sun visor will not stay secured in the 'up' position. falls into driver's vision at unexpected times and especially if driving over rough surface or hitting bump or dip in road surface. presents clear and present dangerous condition(s) from sudden lack of visibility and/or in acting as a potential 'knife edge' in case of a sudden stop. *tr

The driver side sun visor arbitrarily drops into view from the stored position causing a distraction and momentarily blocking the driver's vision. this is a dangerous situation given the distraction, blocked vision, and daily occurrences. *tr

While driving at highway speeds the sun visor on both drivers and passager side swing down and block the vision of the driver. the cost to replace the visors is $800.00, at this cost it makes you thing nissan is aware of this problem and chooses to make a profit on these instead on considering the safety aspect of their customers. i feel there should be a safety recall after reading the number of complaints on this. *ln

I own a 2005 nissan murano and have uncovered a vehicle defect that is a safety hazard. the sun visors are a defective design and keep flipping completely down and blocking the view through the windshield. in some of the most inopportune times, your vision gets completely blocked until you flip it back up. that is very dangerous in the snow, rain, heavy traffic, or at night. sometimes it can drop 2 - 3 times a minute. this is a problem on thousands of 2003 to 2007 muranos. replacing the sun visor is prohibitively expensive at $400 each and since this flaw has not been addressed at all by nissan, you are only replacing a defective visor with a new one that will become defective in a couple of years. i replaced my driver's side visor 2 years ago because of this defect and the replacement one is now dropping again. nissan has a tsb to replace the clip that holds the mirror side of the visor but that does not address the issue. the problem is a defective visor, not the clip. the visor shaft that inserts into the clip loosens ...
