2006 Nissan Murano driver side sunvisor keep falling down with no reason while driving. Might cause an accident of hitting another vehicle in front.
- Hicksville, NY, USA
Left and right sun visors on 2006 Nissan Murano became floppy/droopy (I.e. would not stay in position) in 2008. Very dangerous as they droop down into the eye's of driver or passenger and won't hold position when needed to block out sun.

The driver's side sun visor fails to stay in the up(retracted) position effectively restricting the vision of the driver when it falls into the view of the driver. This will occur suddenly while driving and is a significant safety hazard.

I have a 2006 Nissan Murano and for the past several months the driver side "sun visor" has failed to stay in the up position. This is a serious safety issue as while driving the visor drops down and obstructs the view of the driver! I have been to the dealer and was told that this was a systemic issue on all Nissan Murano's and that they have had literally hundreds of complaints.
- Bayamon, PR, USA
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.
- Saucier, MS, USA
Sun visor will not stay up, either up against the headliner or against the windshield. Both sides have now failed to stay up.
- Cumming, GA, USA
We also had the drivers side sun visor of 2006 Nissan Murano drops down unexpectedly while driving, my daughter almost had an accident in orlando, fl where is she is a student!!!. this is a safety hazard and is extremely startling to the driver when it drops down and impairs vision. Also it can drop 2-3 times within a 2 mile stretch of highway. It will not stay in it's upright position. We also took the vehicle in to a Nissan dealership in here in tampa, fl and was told that Nissan would not repair or replace the defective visor because it was considered "cosmetic" and was not covered under warrantyand also called Nissan's customer care department and was told the same thing. This is not a cosmetic thing, it's a true danger! what is it going to take from Nissan to wake up and do something, someone getting killed!!! to replace the stupid sun visor would be over $400, Nissan should at least give folks a discount who are experiencing this problem. What is the big deal, it would be goodwill and make a lot of happy, safe customers!

Drivers side sun visor of 2006 Nissan Murano drops down unexpectedly while driving. This is a safety hazard and is startling to the driver. When it drops down it also impairs vision. It can drop 2-3 times within a 2 mile stretch of highway. It will not stay in it's upright position. I took the vehicle in to bankston Nissan dealership in lewisville, tx, and was told that Nissan would not repair or replace the defective visor because it was considered "cosmetic" and was not covered under warranty. I then called Nissan's customer care department and was told the same thing. This is very frustrating. The car is only 4 yrs. Old and in excellent condition. The dealer told me that the cost to replace the sun visor would be $458. When I went online to try and find a less expensive replacement visor I discovered that there were many other people experiencing the same problem, from at least as far back as 2004. The visor has to be defective and Nissan should assume responsibility for fixing it. This sun visor, in it's present condition, can be responsible for causing an auto accident.

Driver's side sun visor falls while driving. Can cause obstruction of vision.
- Maize, KS, USA
Drivers side sun visor falls down while driving, will not stay up in the correct position.
- Grady, AR, USA
The driver's side sun visor compulsively lowers to the lowest setting causing gross and unexpected vision obstruction. It will not stay in any position other than completely up or completely down.
- Jber, AK, USA
My 2006 Nissan Murano sun visor does not stay in place. It always drops all the way down. Sun visor cannot be adjusted the way you wanted it. Dealer charge $350 to replace the part in order to fix it and in think it is a ridiculous amount. A lot of Muranos owner are having the same issues on their vehicles and I think this is a safety issue that needs to be taken care of and corrected by Nissan.

I have a 2006 Nissan Murano and for the past several months the driver side "sun visor" has failed to stay in the up position. This is a serious safety issue as while driving the visor drops down and obstructs the view of the driver! I have been to the dealer and was told that this was a systemic issue on all Nissan Murano's and that they have had literally hundreds of complaints. They told me that it was not under warranty and "should have been a recall item" due to the serious safety risk! they were sympathetic to the issue but unwilling to replace the visor without charge for the part and labor! I have researched this issue and found thousands of complaints related to this visor issue and nothing has been done to fix the problem! since seeing the dealer my daughter had an accident due to the visor dropping into her line of sight causing her to hit the back of another vehicle while approaching an intersection.
