| Description of the problem | My driver side sunvisor flops down and will not stay positioned correctly to shield the sun. I either have to drive w/o the visor and be blinded by the sun or i have my view obstructed from the floppy sunvisor being right in my line of vision. The failure occurs anytime i try and use the visor. This started when my mileage was 41,000 and i drive a 2006 murano. This is a big safety concern. My nissan dealer quoted me at $433. 18 to repair the visor. I have done research and this appears to be an ongoing issue with nissan muranos. |
