| Description of the problem | The sun visor on the driver's side will not stay in the upward or "not in use" position. I can be driving and it will fall down blocking my vision while driving. In the beginning i thought it was only my car but after researching and talking with dealership it is a common malfunction. Dealership said they are aware but the problem cannot be fixed by recall because nissan has not given them the "okay." in order to fix problem a new visor would need to be installed with visor part alone costing $200+. I currently have to pull over the extension visor on the passenger side to hold up the driver's side sun visor, and the driver's side visor will still fall down at random times blocking my vision and at times at very crucial moments. I feel this is a major safety hazard and a defect product installed by nissan. In the beginning i tried to get nissan to fix but to no avail. I would have filed a complaint before now but was not aware of your website, which i believe nissan dealerships should have filed with nissan, and may have but nothing has been done about this safety hazard. I hope your company can help get this recalled before someone driving a murano with this defect gets injured or causes injury to other motorist. |
