Sun visors on both driver and passenger side, have problems and keep falling down. It is a known recurring issue with Nissan, and it blocks vision of the road ahead, as well as when they hang down, it causes head injury thrust against the edge of visor. The dealership confirmed that this is a known issue yet Nissan has not issued a recall for this, it is a safety hazard. The visors will not stay up in place, and they fall down just enough to have the hard edge of the visor directly in front of the forehead, causing injury and impeding visibility.

Both sun visors on the drivers side and passenger side will not go up and hang down due to a defect. This blocks the visibility of the road and poses a safety hazard as if you were in an accident the person would get injured by the visor hanging down. This problem has been mentioned online by many nissan owners and nissan refuses to cover. I received an estimate of $430.84 to get them replaced. When I noticed that my visors were like this was when. I picked my car up from the nissan garage as they were fixing a mechanical problem. I tried to push up and they would just fall down again. Nothing I did to cause this.

I am experiencing failures on both of my sun visors after very light use. They flop down and obstruct my vision while I am driving causing a safety and visibility concern. After doing research I have found that this is an extremely widespread problem with this vehicle. Nissan charges an exorbitant amount for this replacement part which deters consumers from fixing the visibility issue and further exacerbates the safety concern.
