2007 Nissan Murano

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON 2007 NISSAN MURANO IS BROKEN, CAUSING SUN VISOR TO FLOP DOWN WHILE DRIVING CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT NOT ONLY STARTLES ME WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT IT ALSO BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA CHARGES $404 FOR THE PART ALONE AND AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE IF THEY ALSO INSTALL IT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION. *TR

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR THAT DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE, ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE SHE WAS STARTLED WHEN IT DROPPED DOWN. THE COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $300 SO WE ARE TRYING WAYS TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING DOWN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL FROM THE LATCH HOOKS, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE DEALER MADE UNKNOWN REPAIRS TO THE VISOR YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD MY LIFT LINK WAS BROKEN. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT PRIOR TO BRINGING CAR IN. HE TOLD ME NISSAN MURANO HAD A HISTORY OF THIS DEFECT. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS DEFECT. I QUESTION WHY THE DEALER FAILED TO TELL ME THIS UPON LEASING THE 2007 MURANO AND SECONDLY HOW IT JUST HAPPENED TO BREAK DURING A VISIT. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE LIFT LINK KEEPS THE SEAT IN A STABLE POSITION. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO SHOW THE CONSUMER THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND COULD BE DANGEROUS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE VISOR AND STATED IT WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED IVOQ 08/12/10*JB *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN, SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ ON FORUMS AND THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS, AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ THEY WANT TO RIP YOU OFF ON PRICE FOR A NEW ONE. YOU LOSE YOUR TOTAL VISION OF THE ROAD WHEN IT FALLS. IT FALLS VERY OFTEN, ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
