2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

SUN VISORS IN 2006 NISSAN MURANO FAIL REPEATEDLY ANED WILL FLOP DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ONGOING SINCE AT LEAST 2005 MODELS NOT LIITED TO MURANO ONLY. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH POSTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND DEALERSHIPS ARE REPLACING WITH THE SAME PART THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY AS THESE NEW VISORS FAIL AS WELL. IT STARTED WHEN ONLY HITTING A BUMP. NOW IT OCCURS DURING NORMAL DRIVING INCLDUING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.

FLOPPY SUN VISORS 2006 NISSAN MURANO. BOTH SUN VISORS WILL NO LONGER REMAIN IN PLACE. THEY IMPAIR/BLOCK SIGHT AND ARE VERY DISTRACTING. THIS MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS YOU HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING WITH THE VISORS TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. MANY, MANY OTHER MURANO DRIVERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS/RECALL BEFORE MAJOR ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL SINCE YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE FLOPPY VISOR OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT WITH A VISOR CONSTANTLY IN YOUR WAY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IT IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN MALFUNCTION. THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS BAD AS PEOPLE DRIVING WHILE ON THEIR CELL PHONES. DANGEROUS. *TR

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2006 AND I AM THE SECOND OWNER...I GOT THIS CAR ON MARCH 2010. ON FEB 15TH 2011, WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR AND PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION I HEARD A POPPING SOUND IN THE DRIVER SIDE CAR SEAT ...SINCE THEN THE CAR SEAT IS ROCKING TOWARDS THE LEFT BACK SIDE AND SEEMS LIKE IT CAN FALL ANYTIME...I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID ITS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MURANO AND WILL COST 1100$. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED AND YOU GUYS SHOULD TAKE A PROPER ACTION AGAINST THE CAR MANUFACTURER...I CAN SEE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF POSTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM ONLINE....SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I BELIEVE YOU WILL DO THE NEEDFUL THANKS *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 06 NISSAN MURANO FALLS DOWN CONSTANTLY BLOCKING MY VIEW WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BUT NOW THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY UP FOR HALF AN HOUR AND THEN OTHER TIMES IT FALLS EVERY 5 MINUTES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 8:30 PM WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND STALLING, IT FINALLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY IN THE FAST LANE. I FRANTICALLY TRIED RESTART FINALLY IT DID I WAS THEN ONLY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN THE SMALL SPACE BETWEEN THE ON RAMP AND THE SLOW LANE OF FREEWAY. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I ALMOST GET HIT BY A VEHICLE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED THE ARE CONCRETE BARRIERS DUE TO THE EXPANSION WORK BEING DONE ON HIGHWAY 4 WEST BOUND. PITTSBURGH CALIFORNIA. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ON FEB 23, 2006, IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS MECHANICAL DEFECTS FROM DAY ONE. IN THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE SPENT OVER $ FOR REPAIRS AND LAST MONTH I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MORE REPAIRS THAT IT NEEDED COSTING $2500.00. I AM AT MY WITS END. I AM NOT WORKING ON DISABILITY. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR DID IT AGAIN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN AN UP POSITION THIS PROBLEM INTERFERES WITH MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. TODAY I TOOK MY MURANO IN FOR SERVICE WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THAT IT WOULD COST ME $420 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING AND REPLACING THESE VISORS IMMEDIATELY.
