| Description of the problem | Approx 8/2009 i had my driver side visor replaced after sudden failure to remain upright. It would flop down while driving to block expected view and/or stay at an angle that would have hit me right in the middle of my forehead, being tall, as is my husband, should an accident cause any forward body movement. Nissan has replaced the driver side under warranty and now just 1 day ago the passenger side also did the exact same failure. My husband was the passenger and he kept saying "boy i don't like this would catch me right in the middle of my forehead if we got hit" it won't stay up so it has to always stay down now which restricts night time driving. I "googled" murano visor complaints and there are many of the exact same complaints!!! I would like to request you review this as a big danger for visual restriction during night or sudden unexpected limits during day driving upon dropping down and possible facial injury upon any impact. Thank you very much. |
