| Description of the problem | Dear sir, we own a 2004 nissan murano that we bought new in may of 2004. The vehicle has performed great over the years; however, we do have one very important safety issue with the nissan murano which is the driver's side sun visor. As you are driving, the sunvisor will drop down blocking the view of the roadway. I have also spoken with another nissan murano owner who stated that she has experienced the same problem. Also, i ran an internet search for "problems with a nissan murano sunvisor" and discovered numerous blogs submitted by individuals who have experienced the exact same problem with their nissan muranos. I strongly feel that this issue needs to be investigated before someone is very seriously injured or perhaps killed because they were unable to see the roadway. |
