| Description of the problem | 2004 nissan murano - in mid march 2008, my driver side sun visor (lighted w/extension) fell down and no longer was able to remain in the "up" position. The visor cannot remain in any position other than a 90 degree angle perpendicular to the ground. There is no way to keep the visor up or adjust it to remain at an angle. It is completely useless and seriously obstructs forward visibility when driving, especially on sunny days. Since march 2008, i have had several near accidents. There is no way to fix the visor without replacing it. The cost of replacement is approx. $300. Searches on the internet reveal there are numerous other murano owners experiencing the same problem. |
