| Description of the problem | My wife was driving when the drivers side sun visor fell down impairing her vision. This caused her to scrape the passenger side rims on the curb. I believe it is now out of alignment. Luckily no one was injured, but this could have caused a serious accident. I have read other complaints about this same issue. I believe the problem is not the visor it's self (although it is really heavy) but where it actually mounts to the ceiling. Why nissan will not own up to this and correct the issue is beyond me? Guess they don't really care cause the already got your money. |
