| Description of the problem | The sun visor on the drivers side is causing a safety hazard. The plastic part inside of the visor flat panel has broken and cannot hold up the visor as it is supposed to, or as designed to function. Before it flopped down completely, it used to make a large and strange clicking noise whenever the visor is raised or lowered. Then it broke. Completely. Driving is unsafe ans the line of sight is blocked completely, unless released to the side, which then blocks the side view, or raised using other methods (duct tape, velcro, etc.). I have called the local dealer that i bought the car from but replacing this non-functioning safety hazardous issue is not coverrd under warranty. The estimated cost to repair is $340/visor. The passengers side is also making a weird clicking noise and now also starting to droop. Basic research online has resulted in hundreds of similar cases for not only pathfinders but also other models for nissan. This is unacceptable and nissan should be replacing these parts before a serious accidents(s) or worse death occurs because they have skimmed quality on these parts. |
