Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The sun visor on this car will not stay in place in the up position and continually blocks my view of the road. It is a safety hazard. My research has shown that Nissan is aware of this problem but will not voluntarily fix it. Instead, they are charging $400 to repair this problem that almost every Nissan Murano has.”
NHTSA complaint #10479250, filed 2012-10, 80,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10519996, filed 2013-06, 149,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10443889, filed 2012-01, 59,900 miles“I own a 2005 Nissan Murano with a gold preferred extended warranty. The vehicle has 46,000 miles on it and the visor won't stay up. According to my dealer this is not an uncommon problem but it's considered a trim (?) item and therefore not covered. I believe this is a safety issue that could lead to a serious accident and should be covered or subject to a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10359423, filed 2010-10, 47,000 miles“2005 Murano sun visors broke and fell half way down blocking some of my driving view. They want over $325.00 for a new one times 2 = $650.00 without any assurance that replacements will not do the same. The only answer I get is out of warranty. Perhaps you could give me some help to remedy this issue short of sewing a snap to the roof. Thank you for any cooperation.”
