My driver side sun visor has failed. It will not stay up in the home position nor will it stay against the windshield. It has simply flopped down and is blocking my view through the windshield. The only way I can operate my Murano is to move the visor to the left against the window of the driver's door. From the research I have done I have gleaned that this is an intrinsic design flaw common on all Murano and Rouge vehicles. And replacing it with an OEM sun visor at the dealership will not remedy the problem since the one they install will also fail eventually. Nissan has turned a deaf ear and blind eye to this critical safety hazard that obstructs the driver's forward view. There should be a recall on these visors. But don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. …
Car won't start. Taken to dealership four times in one month and continues to have issues. Originally told it was the ipdm module which was replaced. About a week and half later the engine wouldn't start again but the dashboard lights, radio and heat/air wouldn't shut off. Was told this time that it was a faulty battery which was replaced. After picking it up and driving less than 10 miles and sitting for a few hours it wouldn't start again. Every single light on the dashboard is on and again the engine won't start or cut off the lights. Had it towed back to the dealership and 4 days later was told that it was due to a rusty bolt of some sort that was loose and needed to be replaced. 2 days later it wouldn't start again. A few hours later the car starts but the check engine light is on. Car was towed to dealership again and it has now been four days with no updates from the dealership. …
