The sun visor on the drivers side of my 06 Nissan Murano falls down constantly blocking my view when I am driving. It has been replaced once but now the replacement has been doing the same thing. Sometimes it will stay up for half an hour and then other times it falls every 5 minutes.
Driver's side sun visor has failed. The visor will no longer stay in an up position this problem interferes with my visibility while driving. Today I took my Murano in for service was told by the Nissan service center that it would cost me $420 to replace the visor. I strongly believe this is a manufacturer's defect and a serious safety issue. Nissan should be recalling and replacing these visors immediately.

2006 Nissan Murano driver & passenger sun visor does not stay in place. The mechanism for the sun visor malfunctions. When placed in the up, locked in position (not in use) it pulls away and hangs loosely. When placed downward to block the sun the visor does not stay in a locked and angled position. It has suddenly dropped and obstructed my view. This is a safety hazard and may result in an auto collision. I live in Colorado where the majority of our days are sunny. I am often forced to support the sun visor by holding it in place with my left hand while driving only with my right hand. This is a safety concern for me, as a driver should have both hands on the wheel while driving, I wear sunglasses however, the suns glare is often so intense that the visor is necessary especially during rush hour traffic when I am driving West towards the sunset. The last time my visor malfunctioned was yesterday, 10/1/10 while commuting in heavy rush hour traffic (5pm mst). Nissan corporation should take action to recall & replace the sun visor mechanism.
