| Description of the problem | 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. |
