| Description of the problem | Nissan murano 2004: driver visor no longer stays in upright position and can fall randomly during driving. There are dozens of similar reports on the internet regarding this. I reported this as a safety issue to my local nissan dealer and national nissan and they fail to consider it a safety issue - they want me to pay $300 to replace the visor. The visor is very large, and when the visor drops straight down, it can completely obscure vision out the windshield. I am afraid to continue driving this car. |
