Example complaints

“Our Nissan Murano has a driver side sun visor that fails to remain up while driving. It will continually fall down without warning, this is not only a surprise, it blocks our view suddenly. Nissan refuses to replace it even with our extended warranty. We know it is a serious safety issue, we have removed it from the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10456408, filed 2012-04, 34,000 miles“I am having trouble with the visors in my vehicle, they keep dropping while driving, its very dangerous, it falls at any given time and I try to keep it up by holding it while I'm driving . I was online and could not believe the amount of people that are having the same problem, it was not covered by the warranty or the extended, and now they are telling me the cost to replace one is almost $400.”
NHTSA complaint #10510829, filed 2013-05, 53,000 miles“Both visors on my Murano continually fall down blocking my view while driving. This seems to be a very common problem and I can't believe Nissan won't step up to fix the issue. What's worse, they want to charge you $400 per visor to fix the issue. Why won't the NHTSA step in to get this issue fixed?”
NHTSA complaint #10546720, filed 2013-10, 100,000 miles“This is the second time the driver's side visor has suddenly broken and come down to block my view in the middle of driving. I replaced the original for the same problem 3 years ago. Seems the issue was not actually fixed. It now falls down regularly and suddenly blocks my view. I'm told its $400 to fix it again. Why hasn't it been recalled? There is obviously a dangerous problem with these visors.”
NHTSA complaint #10500008, filed 2013-02, 70,000 miles“As I drove my Nissan Murano off the lot the driver side sun visor wouldn't stay in place. Kept falling blocking my view while I am driving. The next day I called the dealership & they say that it wasn't covered under the warranty & they will replace it for $400 for a new one. I did get an used one somewhere else & it too doing the same thing.”
