The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the horn failed to sound when pressed. The steering wheel needed to be turned in order for the horn to operate. In addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. Furthermore, when the front driver's side window was not locked, all the other windows would operate independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clockspring cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.

The seat bracket broke. Really a seat bracket that breaks from fatigue of entering and leaving the vehicle"!" safety concern sun visor no longer holds its position due to plastic that wears out. Safety issue. Transmission failure at just over 100,000 miles. Reports all over the web about this. So common, and so expensive. Major safety issue. Nissan has done nothing to address these issues that are so common with all of these models. It is not just me, there is report after report on the web. All the same issues.

"Nissan Murano" drivers seat left side seat mount bracket that mounts to floor boards cracked and completely broke causing me to swerve into on coming traffic. A head on collision was closely avoided. I contacted ken (xxxx) Nissan in medina Ohio and they said that Nissan motors will do nothing about it because it is not a safety issue and will do nothing about it. This issue I feek is an obvious safety issue and the vehicle shoud be recalled. I has the seat welded so it would work again but the weld eventually failed. Seat is now broke.

Visors will not stay up in storage. Expensive replacement but not safe. Visor will suddenly drop obstructing drivers view of the road. This happens both on driver and passenger visors but driver is worse. Completely obscures view of road and it is unpredictable when it will happen. No way to tighten or fix. No promise that replacement won't have same problem.

In 2011, my driver's side visor dropped as I was driving, causing me to almost have a wreck. I took my car to the nearest dealership and was told that it would cost me close to $700 to replace and there was no recall on this item. I have tried all sorts of methods to keep my visor up, but nothing has worked and the issue is getting worse. There are already 59 complaints regarding this issue. What will it take to get Nissan to issue a recall and replace" someone to have a wreck while driving"

When starting the car from a parked positioned after running a few errands during a slight ice/snow fall mid-morning and wipers did not move when activated. I turned the wipers on high and listened for the motor which was running but it seemed wiper were detached. I spent 2 days driving to and from work at night with rain and snow fall each way. I was dangerous but I could not call in. My family and I have been looking up this issue and apparently it is very common for many different types of Nissan to have this linkage brake.

Driver's side visor broke causing major visibility issue. Would hang down and block driver's view. Broke just after warranty ended. There was no way to keep it up without $250 replacement visor. Service advisor said he had numerous issues with multiple consumers. Stated he felt it should be a recall.

Driver's side sun visor will no longer stay in place and is a safety issue. It will flop down at any time while driving. It has progressively gotten worse and now I will have to remove it completely. It appears that this is a common problem that is not being addressed.

2007 Nissan Murano S sun visor both driver as well as passenger mal-function. I choose visibility/wiper because the sun visor obstructs vision (*visibility*) when it drops down in view while driving at no given warning. Its dangerous and would have caused an accident if there was a vehicle coming from opposite direction at the time of occurrence. The cost of these sun visors are expensive and Nissan should recall these or at least fix them at no cost.

First problem was the driver side visor which kept flopping down causing a hazard blocking the driver's vision. Second problem happen later, the driver seat broke while driving, left rear bracket broke. Call and wrote to Nissan customer service and was told both problems were out of warranty and they would not honor my claim. This is the third Nissan that I have owned, and will never buy another Nissan product. For a vehicle that has less than 100K miles to have these problems and for Nissan not to cover the problem shows a true lack of customer service.

My drivers side visor has started flopping down into my line of vision. Whether it's forward toward the windshield or up against the roof's interior. It's gotten progressively worse and is a serious concern, especially when my 6'0 husband is driving.

The driver side visor has become loose and will fall while you are driving. It happens intermittently. This is unsafe for drivers traveling on the highway. Our other option is to remove it, then you risk the sun in your eyes driving East/West. Dealership wants to charge over $400 to replace this item. It should be viewed as a safety concern.

The sunvisor on the drivers side falls down without warning. This temporarily blocks the forward view. Very dangerous and scary. Visor will not stay out of way. Many complaints on internet, Nissan will not repair, and wants expensive part to be purchased with no warranty that problem will not happen again. Defective part. Please help!

Murano

  • 67,000 miles
The sun visor on the driver's side flaps down unexpectedly and will not stay up, causing an impairment in visibility and distraction in driving. I contacted Nissan who was of no assistance. I am the only owner of the vehicle and purchased it new. There is only 70,000 miles on it. In speaking to other Nissan owners, they confirmed this problem in Nissan vehicles. Please research this issue.

Murano 6-cyl

  • 65,000 miles
The drivers side sun visor started falling down, impairing sight of the road. After about 1 month of falling, it would no longer stay up at all. I've had to pull out the side visor from the passenger side visor to 'prop" the drivers side up. Now the passenger side visor is starting to fall. I've read numerous complaints of this same issue, but there has not been a recall. I have no choice but to completely remove the visor if I am to see the road.
