Example complaints

“The drivers side sun-visor doesn't stay up. It hangs directly down, causing it to be right in my line of sight. I have attempted to velcro or tape it up but nothing works for very long and the visor will fall down while I am driving. This is most definitely a safety issue that needs to be addressed.”
NHTSA complaint #11064583, filed 2018-01, 48,000 miles“I was driving my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder on the expressway with my wife in the passenger seat and 2 kids (8 & 9) in the rear seat. I had the sunroof closed but the shade screen open. All of a sudden there was a loud bang and the sunroof glass shattered. Then myself, wife and kids got showered from some of the broken glass while I was still driving. When this happened my wife and kids were scared and screaming and I quickly managed to close the shade screen and pull to the highway shoulder. …”
NHTSA complaint #11093650, filed 2018-05, 34,000 miles“Both my sun visors have failed after only 61000 miles. The driver's side visor lost its ability to stay in either the up or fully forward situation resulting in it falling down in front of my vision while I was driving down the highway. The passenger side visor is almost at the same stage of failure. It hangs down 2 inches from the top of the roof. Multiple times passengers have hit their face on the visor when leaning forward. After talking with the Nissan dealership's parts department, they indicated that situation is not abnormal. …”
NHTSA complaint #11163774, filed 2018-12, 61,000 miles“I am having issues with the visors in my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. They are both broke and hang down in front of my line of vision. Nissan will not repair these. I have replaced both and they have broken in the exact same spot again. Making it difficult to see the road. I have had to remove them and cannot afford to pay for the repairs again. So now the sun is making it difficult to see the road as opposed to the visor blocking my line of vision. This is a huge problem for many Nissan owners. The dealership even noted that Nissan needs to do a recall because of the incident rates. …”
NHTSA complaint #11143367, filed 2018-10, 56,000 miles“Sun visor falls down in front of the driver blocking their view of traffic. Faulty sunvisors made of plastic are the problem and there are many Pathfinder owners complaining about them. If you hold the sun visor up while your driving then your driving with one hand on the steering wheel.”
