Carrier/rack problems of the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

The sun visors makes a loud cracking noise and have continued to fall down in my light of sight starting since the vehicle was roughly a year old. They will not stay up and have almost cause me to get into a severe accident several times. The drives side visor had to be removed as it hit me while I was driving and caused me to swerve off the road.

As I was driving on 110 south freeway and enter fasttrack lane near exposition blvd exit, I heard a very loud explosion and thought that I was running into a collision with another oncoming vehicle. As I was slowing down and looked around there were no vehicle near me and the weather was so clear. Then I noticed that my sunroof glass was blown off and shattered. Lucky enough I had my sunroof shade closed so the shattered glass didn't flight in the car. There were another 04 passengers in my car as well but no one got hurt.

The sun visors in my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sv are defective and will not stay in the upright position. This is a safety concern in that as I am driving the sun visor falls down and covers my view of the road, thus causing a potential hazardous driving condition. A review of online complaints has indicated that this is a common problem with many 2014 & newer Nissan Pathfinders. The mechanisms that holds the sun visor up cracks and will not operate correctly. There is no way to keep the sun visors in the upright position and it is impossible to drive the vehicle safely. This needs to be addressed by Nissan immediately as the condition can happen randomly as the vehicle is being driven and suddenly the sun visor drops in front of the driver causing a hazardous driving condition.

I was driving on the highway, it was about 80 degrees and sunny. There was a loud explosion followed by the shattering of the moonroof's glass. There was no failing debris or other evidence of anything that would crack the moonroof. It appears that the moonroof exploded unexpectedly.

Ever since purchase the sun visors (both driver and passenger) have been weaker than other vehicles. They make loud popping and cracking noise when engaged and closed. This weekend we entered the vehicle to leave and notice that the driver's side visor was not up against the ceiling. It wouldn't stay in place, there is a large gap and the visor is just above eye level at all times now. This failure in the mechanism also affects the "open" position by not allowing it to be adjusted towards the windshield and above site-line. If it's "open" it hangs vertical and will not adjust out of site. The mechanism is so weak and broken at this point that we fear it may fall from it's current "closed" position to "open" and directly in the line of site while driving. While not as important to driver safety, the passenger side is just as bad. Nissan is not recalling these, but it is a "known issue" according to multiple service departments that I have called for replacement. To replace one unit is close to $200 ($194. 50). This is ridiculous for a "known issue" that is actually a safety concern as much as it is an annoyance.

Driver's side sun visor cracked and will not stay up or down. Hangs awkwardly in the driver's visibility, making it very unsafe.
