Driver and passenger sun visors fell down and won't stay up. Obstructing view while driving.

- Dalton, GA, USA

Both sunvisors in my vehicle are being held up with bungy cords because they just fall down into your face while driving. According to the dealership this is due to the mechanism that supports the sunvisors. In order to have repaired new sunvisors have to be installed which cost $485 with labor. There is no way to keep the sun out of your eyes while driving and if you do not tie them up with something they just fall forward into your face. I was told by the dealership this is a common problem in my make and model and eventually there will be a recall. After talking with Nissan headquarters today 08 12 20 there is no recall yet and to contact you.

Both sun visors failed to rectract to the original position which leaves both hanging and obstructing the drivers and passengers view. First it was only mid way which leaves them hanging very low. Then they stopped locking at all.

I purchased this Nissan cash $1400 from a dealer and within a week the transmission will judder they call it. They will only buy it back from me for $5000 because of the cvt transmission. When on take off... only... this happens. The cars behind me almost run into me. I am so scared to take off at redlights and for anyone to get behind. I am afraid it is going to cause a crash because I cant stop it and people honk there horn at me like it is me doing it. The car literally jumps up and down it feels like. I don't know what to do. I cant afford to fix it now. I don't have a warr it has expired and there is a recall for this problem with other 2014 Nissan but mine not built within a certain month period of that yr. This Nissan is dangerous if I put it on the road.

Driving down I-75 I heard a loud bang, like a gunshot, in my car. I frantically started looking around the car and didn't see anything. I called my husband that was about a mile away to come check my car. My husband got out and walked around the car not seeing anything immediately. He walked to me and gave me his keys so I could drive his car home and he was going to take mine. Walking back to the car he saw the sunroof bulged up. He stood in the door frame and saw a large hole in the sunroof and told me it looks like it exploded outwards. Luckily the shade was closed so I was not covered in glass. Nissan does not want to fix it because "they didn't make the glass" according to the rep I spoke to. Even though it was oem and installed in a Nissan factory. State farm will not cover the damages due to it being a manufacturing defect. That sticks me with the $1900 bill. Now I am terrified to even drive the car and it doing it again. It was truly one of the scariest moments of my life.

I was driving home yesterday on I-75 and heard a loud bang like a gun going off in my car. There was no one around me and I looked around and didn't see anything. Luckily, my husband was about a mile away so I called him. When he got there I was shaking! he walked around my car looking for something, but didn't see anything. He told me to drive his car home and he would take mine. While walking back to the car he noticed a bulge up in the sunroof. He opened the door to take a look on top and saw the sunroof exploded from the inside out. My extended warranty won't cover it, Nissan won't cover it, I'm waiting on my insurance to see if they will help (but since it is a manufacturing defect) it is possible it may be denied also. This is so scary and dangerous!

On Monday 12/9/2019 I was driving the Pathfinder alone on audelia road in dallas Texas. The speed limit is 35 mph in this area. I was the only person in the vehicle and there was nothing in the passenger seat. Around 11:00 am I heard a loud explosion and the vehicle was filled with dust while in motion. Assuming I was hit I pulled over and exited my car. After I got out of the car I noticed there were no other cars in the area. I walked around the outside of the car and saw zero damage. (photo attached) I looked back into the car and then saw that all of the passenger side airbags deployed.(photo attached) the airbags on the driver side did not deploy. My head was pounding and my eyes hurt from all the dust that was shot out in the air bags deploying. Aaa towed my car to trophy Nissan in mesquite Texas. The dealership would not touch the vehicle as they stated it was a manufacture issue. I have called Nissan and started the process. The engineer sent by Nissan has assessed the vehicle and stated that he sees no physical, electrical or after market parts that would have triggered the failure. (photo attached) we have yet to hear from Nissan on what their conclusion is but the air bag failure is a serious issue and could have hurt my infant child severely as this is the side her car seat is located. Last-we are under the impression we had the airbag recall issue repaired in April 2019.trophy Nissan was very misleading with their answers on the recall repairs. Paperwork attached.

I have been having issues with my vehicle since 2016. In 2017 my vehicle stalled at a busy exit ramp after shaking. The most recent incident September 11, 2019 my vehicle stalled again on a busy exit ramp. The warning on the vehicle stated hybrid system overheating. I took the vehicle in to the dealer because of the shaking and stalling and two days later I received my vehicle back. The service report states there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. On Saturday, September 14th my vehicle was worse than before with two warning lights. I was barely able to drive the vehicle back to the dealer on September 16th. On September 17th I receive a phone call from the service advisor that the issue with the vehicle is the transmission. The shaking has been an issue since 2017 but according to the service agents they never experienced it until September 16th.

I arrived at my destination and attempted to open my drivers side door and the handle would not work. It made a crunch sound and I could no longer use it. I now have to leave my car on, roll my window down, reach to open the car from the outside, roll the window back up, then turn my car off. I had parked my car in a parking lot on a level surface when this happened.

1st it was my transmission, which was rebuilt due to a lawsuit. Then it was the engine, used engine with 50,000 was put in and I only had 76,000 on the original one. Then both cooling fans had to be replace....$6000 later and now the [xxx] visors!! drivers side broken, won't stay up unless I use a bungie cord. It's a hazard having it flapping in front of driver and my passenger side is failing. Nissan do something about this!! I've put enough $$$ into this car, it's like my money pit!! never ever again will I buy or suggest a Nissan to anyone. Can't wait to get rid of this car!! parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I had 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and my vehicle was inspected and passed with no issues in June 2019. The day of the accident, I drove all morning with no type of incidents. My niece, who lives on a hill was in the car with me and I picked her that morning from her house. She had to returned to her house later that morning for an item so I drove back up the hill, waited for her in her driveway, left her house and as I was driving down the hill I realized that my brakes was not functioning, my emergency brake light appeared and then all the lights on my dashboard turned on. The emergency brake wasn't working and I couldn't stop the car. I kept pressing my brakes and nothing was happening. It just kept going! at that point, I looked around to see the best place to crash. I came down the hill crossed over one of the main roads and steered my car into a fence and we hit a tree. All of my airbags deployed and I was grateful that both my niece and I had no major injuries. My vehicle was totaled by the insurance company. I had no issues with my brakes in the past! I did find out that there was a problem with the brake software in the 2013 and 2014 Nissan Pathfinders model-years and there was a recall. I bought my vehicle in 2014 however I never got a recall notice. I also had my vehicle service at a Nissan dealership and brake software failures was never communicated to me. Something went terribly wrong with my brakes or the software that day.

The driver's side sun visor has an inner plastic piece broken which makes the sun visor randomly fall, blocking my view when driving. This is a common issue on many 2014 Pathfinders that can be fixed by making the parts (visor) better, or by selling a replacement part for the plastic piece that easily breaks. Instead, the manufacturer only sells as a replacement part, the exact same visor that is likely to break again. A second issue on this car is the driver's side door handle inside and outside the door. I find myself often trapped inside the car or outside the car due to this door handle malfunction. This could easily become a life/death safety issue if ever I was in an accident and was trapped inside the car. This is another common defect on this car caused by a cheap plastic piece breaking. Another problem besides being trapped in the car is that sometimes the door opens while driving. These safety issues common in the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder should be corrected immediately with a safety recall.

The driver's side sun visor no longer stays in the 'up' position and 'opens' whenever I am driving, especially if I hit a bump. The visor suddenly drops and hangs down, directly impairing my ability to see the road. Whenever I try to put the visor back up to its 'up' position it makes a loud creaking noise

The door handle to the passenger side snapped and the door does not open from the inside now.
