Driver side sun visor has broken and can’t be stowed. Visor now hangs down and blocks at least 50% of the drivers view to the front. Visor can be moved to the left, up against the side window, but then it blocks the view to the left. This is a known issue. It is a safety defect and a recall should be issued.

SUN VISORS KEEP FALLING WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATHFINDER OWNERS I'M AFRAID THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALREADY THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.
THE SUNVISORS ( BOTH SIDES) MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THEM IN POSITION WILL BREAK FROM STANDARD NORMAL USE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SUNVISORS WILL NOT STAY IN THE POSITION THAT THE OPERATOR PUTS THE SUNVISORS IN AND TEND TO BE FLOPPY. THIS MAKES A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE SUNVISORS MAY FALL DOWN WHEN NOT INTENDED OR NOT STAY IN POSITION TO NEEDED TO BLOCK SUN GLARE. THE SUNVISORS MAY ALSO HANG LOWER IN THE STOWED POSITION CREATING AND EDGE A PERSON COULD HIT THEIR HEAD ON ON AND ABRUPTL STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED OR IN MOTION, BUT BECOMES WORSE IN ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS. THE CAUSE IS DUE TO THE INTERNAL PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE SPRING CLIP ON THE INSIDE ON THE VISOR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS IN ONLINE FORUMS AND EVEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING DIY FIXES. OEM REPLACEMENT PART IS ANOUT $150. PICTURES ATTACHED SHOW BOTH SUNVISORS. DRIVERS SIDE IS OPERATING NORMAL, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS SHOWN IN THE POSITIONS THAT IT CAN STOP AT. NOTICE INTHE STOWED POSITION PASSENGER VISOR HANGS LOW. AND IN THE DOWN POSITION IT WILL NOT STAY ALL THE WAY OUT. THEY WILL EVENTUALLY DEGRADE UNTIL THEY JUST HANG DOWN LOOSELY AND NOT MAINTAIN ANY POSITION.
THE VISOR DOES NOT STAND FLUSH WITH THE ROOF, IT DROPS DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. THEY WILL OFTEN FALL COMPLETELY DOWN, MAKING IT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER.
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS DEFECTIVE, LEADING TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY DURING DRIVING. THE VISOR SOMETIMES FALLS TO A VERTICAL POSITION UNDER GRAVITY ONLY. THIS OBSTRUCTS FORWARD VISION AND ALSO OBSTRUCTS LINE OF SIGHT TO THE REARVIEW MIRROR. AT OTHER TIMES, THE VISOR PARTIALLY SAGS, CREATING A CONDITION WHERE THE FRONT EDGE OF THE VISOR IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE DRIVER'S FACE. IT'S FORESEEABLE THAT A CONDITION COULD OCCUR WHERE THE VISOR COULD CAUSE INJURY BY CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER'S FACE DURING SUDDEN DECELERATION. THERE ARE NO POSITIONS THAT THE VISOR CAN BE PUT IN THAT DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VISION.
WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION WHEN OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NO WHERE. IT WAS ABOUT 9:30 IN THE MORNING ON FRIDAY JULY 19TH. WE WERE HEADING EAST BOUND ON THE 10 FREEWAY IT WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD IT SCARED EVERYONE IN THE CAR. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN FOR HELP AND THEY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNWILLING TO HELP US AT ALL. THEY BASICALLY SAID TO BAD IT'S YOUR PROBLEM NOT OURS.
PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP CREATING A BLIND SPOT/VISIBILITY HAZARD. DRIVER SIDE IS BEGINNING TO STAY DOWN LOWER FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR ALSO. PASSENGER SIDE NOW STAYS DOWN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN PUSHED UP IMMEDIATELY FALLS BACK DOWN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING SOUND. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,756.
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT THROUGH THE SUNROOF. GLASS FELL DOWN ONTO MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE WERE NO ROCKS IN FRONT OF ME FOR DEBRIS TO COME BACK. THE WHOLE THING SHATTERED. IT DIDN'T HAVE A CRACK OR SPIDER. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES LIKE THIS ON THE INTERNET AND CONSUMER REPORTS RECENTLY WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS. NISSAN WAS IN THE TOP 3 HAVING THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND HE THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY AND ASSUMED WE CAUSED THIS DAMAGE AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THEIR WERE RELATED ARTICLES ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS MY EXPERIENCE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD'VE BEEN DANGEROUS IF THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND US BECAUSE, WE HAD TO SLAM ON OUR BRAKES. I ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT.
BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE SUN-VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE CEILING, OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND DROP DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. MYSELF AND PASSENGERS ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING OUR HEADS ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.
THE SUN VISORS ON THE PATHFINDERS BREAK EASILY AND HANG IN THE DRIVER SIGHT. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR DISTRACTION. NISSAN WILL REPLACE THE BROKEN PART FOR $100 AND UP. ONLINE, THERE ARE DOZENS OF VIDEOS SHOWING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS CHEAP PART BUT WILL NOT CORRECT.
THE SUNVISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE CEILING, OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND DROP DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS DEFECTIVE. I BARELY USED THIS AND IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.
THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP WHILE DRIVING THE PLASTIC SUPPORTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE PROPER POSITION. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF THE DO NOT STAY UP IT BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY AND ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE IT AS I DO NOT WANT TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING.
DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR BEGAN POPPING UPON CLOSURE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, IT HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND WILL NO LONGER STAY UPRIGHT. THIS IS CAUSING LIMITED VISIBILITY AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN LAST YEAR THEN FINALLY BROKE. WE BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT FOR $100. THEN 6 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. WE HAVE HIT OUR HEADS NUMEROUS TIMES AND OTHER PASSENGERS AS WELL. THEN, JUST 3 WEEKS AGO THE NEWLY INSTALLED DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND PAINFUL WHEN COLLIDING WITH THE BROKEN SUN VISOR. NISSAN SHOULD GIVE RECALL ON THEIR 2014 PATHFINDER SUN VISORS. DURING DRIVING THE VISOR HANGS HALFWAY DOWN WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVING VIEW AND ALSO REDUCES DEPTH OF FIELD VISION FOR BRAKING PURPOSES.
SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS BROKE. HAD THE CAR 2 YEARS. BARELY EVER PULLED IT DOWN, ONLY WHEN THERE WAS A LOT OF SUN IN MY EYES AND I COULDN'T SEE. FOUND OUT ON LINE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON 2014 MODELS. PEOPLE KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM BREAKING, UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR
