| Description of the problem | Driver's sunvisor in 2005 nissan murano randomly falls down while vehicle is being driven. Serious manufacturing or installation defect. Since warranty is up dealer would not replace for free. Quoted $370. 00 for labor + cost of part. Was finally able to persuade dealer to replace part 3 years later. (today as a matter of fact). Had to threaten to get local news involved. Others on message boards have had similar problems. Please look into this major defect as many lives could be in jeopardy. I almost was in 2 serious accidents because of the visor just randomly falling while driving. Thank goodness for brakes because i and my kids could have been another traffic fatality statistic. |
