| Description of the problem | We also had the drivers side sun visor of 2006 nissan murano drops down unexpectedly while driving, my daughter almost had an accident in orlando, fl where is she is a student!!!. This is a safety hazard and is extremely startling to the driver when it drops down and impairs vision. Also it can drop 2-3 times within a 2 mile stretch of highway. It will not stay in it's upright position. We also took the vehicle in to a nissan dealership in here in tampa, fl and was told that nissan would not repair or replace the defective visor because it was considered "cosmetic" and was not covered under warrantyand also called nissan's customer care department and was told the same thing. This is not a cosmetic thing, it's a true danger! What is it going to take from nissan to wake up and do something, someone getting killed!!! To replace the stupid sun visor would be over $400. 00, nissan should at least give folks a discount who are experiencing this problem. What is the big deal, it would be goodwill and make a lot of happy, safe customers! |
