| Description of the problem | The sun visor on my 2004 nissan murano fails to stay 'up' out of the driver's vision. It starts to fall unexpectedly and becomes more and more prone to falling into the drivers line of vision. My first sun visor failed before i had the car three years but after i had driven 36,000 miles. After a number of phone calls to nissan, they replaced the sun visor. Now, approximately three years later, the replacement sun visor also falls unto my line of sight. This is not repairable: it must be replaced at the cost of over $300 for the part alone, and i expect, from the number of complaints i have seen, that the next visor will also fail. |
