| Description of the problem | Started noticing that the driver side visor would drop down for no reason. I now have the same problem on the passenger side. I have had numerous occasions with near misses with other vehicles because of this thing falling down. They have big adds about texting while driving and its dangers. How about a complete loss of vision @ 70 mph. I have contacted nissan many times and have never gotten a reply. I have visited nissan murano forum sites. There are a lot of other people with the exact same problem. I would think that nhtsa would want to work to prevent a death rather than waiting until someone or a family is killed because of these visors. But then again if that death was caused because of the visor, how are you going to know. Their dead. Please do something. |
