Sunvisor fails to hold and will ultimately fall in the driver's line of sight with no way to secure creating a visibility hazard. Even if the visor is replaced by Nissan it will fail again due to the flawed design. Nissan is aware of this issue and they have failed to issue a recall on their sunvisors. I was advised to file a safety complaint by numerous threads, forums, and youtube videos on this particular issue.

Driver's side sun visor broke while I was driving on the highway and now just hangs in my line of sight unless I push it over to the side, which also obstructs visibility out of the driver side window. We have tried using velcro but the sticky side falls off when it gets cold in the vehicle. It has fallen and hit me in the head once while driving which scared me and made me jerk the steering wheel. Lucky it didn't cause me to crash. This is a serious safety issue which could cause an accident if not corrected.

The drivers side sun visor has broken free and will drop down at anytime. This is a safety problem that Nissan must be aware of by the volume of complaints I have read on here. I feel this should be addressed asap

I recently purchased a Nissan and the visor slowly began to get lower and lower and now is O structure G visibility and is a safety hazard. I returned to the dealer and it's over warrenty because it had 33K miles, emailed Nissan no answer. Dealer says it happens very often, to fix is over 300.90

I have very usual most common problem with a sun visor in my Nissan Pathfinder 2013. Both sun visors are hanging one third way down and I consider this as a safety hazard while I am or my wafe is driving the car.

Driver's side sun visor broken and flaps down unexpected when driving. Nissan needs to be forced to issue a recall on this and fix them free - as of now they contend that it is not covered with the 5 year, 120,000 extended warranty I purchased. Four out of the past 5 complaints on this site related to this very issue (and no mine). Nissan needs to recognize this as a design flaw before accidents occur.

The sun visors no longer stay up and out of the view some times swing down without warning blocking visibility

The driver's side visor broke (a piece inside the visor) early on in ownership but not enough to bother me. Now, it hangs down in my face obstructing my view while driving.

Sunvisors break too easy. There are multiple reports on internet a piece of plastic breaks in models as new as 2014. In my Pathfinder both sunvisors broke and I had to purchase replacements.

- El Paso, TX, USA

Both driver side and passenger side sun visor are too heavy for the clips that hold them and over time starts to hang and eventually break at the swivel. This is a dangerous as the visor blocks your line of sight and once it breaks it is completely in your way. I replaced the passenger side while under warranty and its already hanging again, the driver side one was hanging and broke after the warranty expired. The service man at the Nissan dealer said they keep a ton of them in stock, because they are always breaking/hanging. Driving this car is a major safety issue.

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and the sun visors have an issue where they do not stay up. This is a common issue with this vehicle as if you google it, there are multiple threads describing the issue. This is a huge safety issue as the sun visor on the driver's side blocks your visibility. Additionally, it makes a loud cracking sound anytime you open or close it. I contacted Nissan last year in 2016 and they basically said, "oh well. You are out of warranty." The issue with my vehicle is a known issue and is also a safety concern. I can be driving my vehicle on the highway and the sun visor will suddenly fall down and block my view. When I contacted Nissan last year, my vehicle was not even a year out of warranty. I had noticed the issue with the sun visors for a while, but did not take the vehicle in previously due to personal issues going on (I was in the middle of a separation and divorce). The driver's side sun visor is hanging so low now that I have to push to the left side of my vehicle in front of the window so I can see when I drive. I have included some pictures so you can see where the sun visor is sitting on a permanent basis. Even if I push it up, it falls back to this position. You can see from the final picture that is basically at my eye level. I can understand Nissan not wanting to replace both sun visors, but the driver's side visor is a huge safety concern. At $250 a piece, I can't really afford to spend $500 to have them both repaired. I have 2 small children and I'm extremely concerned for their safety and mine while operating the vehicle.

The driver's side sun visor broke internally and flops down into the driver's sightline--will not stay up or any other position than directly in the driver's sightline. Many complaints of this on youtube including a Nissan dealership reporting that it happens on almost all 2013-2016 Pathfinders. It is dangerous as it affects visability. Nissan wants $141 / visor for the part alone. Installed, generally over $200. This should be a safety recall. Problem occurred as my wife was driving and trying to use the sun visor for its intended purpose.

Sun visor keeps falling into line of vision while driving causing a danger hazard. Also, electrical system had short-circuit wires.

- Los Angeles, CA, USA

Both window visors have broken and dangle in front of me when I'm driving, creating a safety hazard as they hang in the way of my front windshield and obstruct my vision. I have also hit my head several times while driving on these dangling visors while trying to look both ways at a cross section, etc. After some research online I have found that this is apparently a common defect in the Pathfinder for years 2013 - 2015 and the part attaching the visor to the roof was cheaply made. I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs but they will not replace the visors nor will they help contribute to fixing the problem. Cost to fix two visors is $451 per my local Nissan dealership.

While driving on September 219th, 2016, the airbag indicator light started flashing for under a minute, and then the entire dashboard cluster panel went out. The tachometer, speedometer, gas gauge, driver safety information, lighting and breaks, gear mode, seat belt indicator, engine temperature gauge all went blank as the car was driving straight down a street approximately 45 miles an hour. I pulled the car off of the road to a safe place. Shut it down, and started it again normally. The entire instrument panel has yet to come back on. I was able to get the SUV home, and called some local dealerships to get it in to service. While waiting for a call back, I was able to research, and found that the vehicle is under two recalls, 16V-244 for occs system, and 16V-380 for stop lamp switch.. I was able to get the car to royal Nissan in baton rouge, Louisiana (225) 924-0400 on the 20th of September, 2016. I informed them of the recalls, and they said that they would look into the mater. On the September 21th, service advisor (kenney) called me and said that they did not yet know how to fix the problem, but the car was three years old, and out of warranty and I would have to pay for the repairs myself because they were probably not related to the recalls. That is where it stands.as of September 21st, 2016. I do not think that I am being unreasonable when I think that there is a connection to the flashing indicator lights, and the dashboard going out at the same time.

A part that allows the driver side visor to rotate up and down is broken. When returned to its holding position and released it falls back down blocking the driving view. In my humble opinion it was poorly manufactured because this vehicle is just over three years old and for a part that require multiple use and present a driving safety hazard if not working properly due to defective parts, should be recalled immediately.

- Port Charlotte, FL, USA

Sun visor (drivers side) fell down after being pushed back into the up position, blocking my vision, distracting me, and requiring me to hold it up while driving until I could safely pull over and make a temporary repair. The vehicle was in motion when this happened, I had just completed a turn and was merging into traffic. Both visors have been replaced under warranty once.

- Huntsville, AL, USA

Sun visor causing visibility issues. Sun visor has cracked on inside and now it does not close all the way. Inner parts are plastic and heat has caused it to crack and warp which now it will hang into my field of vision and prevent me from seeing the road ahead. It does this constantly. I see on the internet several complaint for this model of car with the same issue.
