Wiper problems of the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder - part 1

Driver side sun visor has broken and can’t be stowed. Visor now hangs down and blocks at least 50% of the drivers view to the front. Visor can be moved to the left, up against the side window, but then it blocks the view to the left. This is a known issue. It is a safety defect and a recall should be issued.

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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that his driver sun visor failed to close while the vehicle is in motion. The dealer mastria Nissan1305 new state hwy, raynham, MA 02767 was contacted and informed the contact that 0 recall was under the VIN. The vehicle has not been seen or diagnosed. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. Ck.

Sun visors keep falling while driving it seems to be a common complaint among Pathfinder owners I'm afraid this may have happened to multiple people already this is dangerous and needs to be recalled immediately.

The sunvisors ( both sides) mechanism that holds them in position will break from standard normal use. When this happens the sunvisors will not stay in the position that the operator puts the sunvisors in and tend to be floppy. This makes a dangerous situation because the sunvisors may fall down when not intended or not stay in position to needed to block sun glare. The sunvisors may also hang lower in the stowed position creating and edge a person could hit their head on on and abruptl stop. This happens while the car is stopped or in motion, but becomes worse in rough road conditions. The cause is due to the internal plastic that holds the spring clip on the inside on the visor. There are many complaints in online forums and even youtube videos showing diy fixes. Oem replacement part is anout $150. Pictures attached show both sunvisors. Drivers side is operating normal, and the passenger side visor is shown in the positions that it can stop at. Notice inthe stowed position passenger visor hangs low. And in the down position it will not stay all the way out. They will eventually degrade until they just hang down loosely and not maintain any position.

The visor does not stand flush with the roof, it drops down into the driver's line of sight. They will often fall completely down, making it a safety issue for the driver.

The sun visor on the driver's side is defective, leading to impaired visibility during driving. The visor sometimes falls to a vertical position under gravity only. This obstructs forward vision and also obstructs line of sight to the rearview mirror. At other times, the visor partially sags, creating a condition where the front edge of the visor is in close proximity to the driver's face. It's foreseeable that a condition could occur where the visor could cause injury by contact with the driver's face during sudden deceleration. There are no positions that the visor can be put in that do not obstruct the driver's vision.

We were driving out of town on vacation when our sunroof exploded out of no where. It was about 9:30 in the morning on Friday July 19th. We were heading east bound on the 10 freeway it was about 90 degrees outside with no other cars around. The noise was so loud it scared everyone in the car. We have contacted Nissan for help and they have been extremely rude and unwilling to help us at all. They basically said to bad it's your problem not ours.

The driver's side sun visor has an inner plastic piece broken which makes the sun visor randomly fall, blocking my view when driving. This is a common issue on many 2014 Pathfinders that can be fixed by making the parts (visor) better, or by selling a replacement part for the plastic piece that easily breaks. Instead, the manufacturer only sells as a replacement part, the exact same visor that is likely to break again. A second issue on this car is the driver's side door handle inside and outside the door. I find myself often trapped inside the car or outside the car due to this door handle malfunction. This could easily become a life/death safety issue if ever I was in an accident and was trapped inside the car. This is another common defect on this car caused by a cheap plastic piece breaking. Another problem besides being trapped in the car is that sometimes the door opens while driving. These safety issues common in the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder should be corrected immediately with a safety recall.

Passenger side sun visor will not stay up creating a blind spot/visibility hazard. Driver side is beginning to stay down lower from the roof of the car also. Passenger side now stays down all the time and when pushed up immediately falls back down.

Driving down the road and my sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gunshot went through the sunroof. Glass fell down onto my wife and 2 kids in the back seat. There were no rocks in front of me for debris to come back. The whole thing shattered. It didn't have a crack or spider. I have read numerous other issues like this on the internet and consumer reports recently wrote an article about this. Nissan was in the top 3 having this issue. I went to my dealer and he thought we were crazy and assumed we caused this damage and tried to explain their were related articles online with the same issues as my experience. It was very scary and could've been dangerous if there were other vehicles behind us because, we had to slam on our brakes. I also purchased extended warranty and they would not cover it.

The sun visors on our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder started to droop down and eventually became so loose that they did not stay up at all and are dangling all the way down. This is not only annoying but also a safety hazard because the driver side is blocking part of the view. The loose flapping panel also distracts the driver immensely.

Car was delivered new with front headrests installed backwards. Driver's visor was snapping loudly and drooping from new. Replaced 11/14/2014. Ocs recall, attempted repair 4/23/2014, 11/14/14, 4/7/2015, 11/19/2015, 12/8/2015 and passenger side airbag light remains on always, to this day! hood has vibrated at highway speeds since new. Recall for hood latch fixed 4/7/2015. Hood still vibrates. Passenger visor replaced 2/23/2017 for same as driver�s. Driver's inner door handle broke. Couldn't open from inside. Replaced 9/10/2018 at cost of $296. 29. Multiple exterior rubber and plastic trims are loose, coming off, and interior gasket on one rear door and tailgate.

Both drivers and passengers side sun-visors will not stay up against the ceiling, or against the windshield, and drop down into my line of sight, which makes it a hazard while driving because it will not stay in place. Myself and passengers are constantly hitting our heads on them. It obstructs my view while driving even when my seat is all the way down. Nissan you have been made aware of this defective part and this should be recalled. It makes driving hazardous.

The sun visors on the Pathfinders break easily and hang in the driver sight. This causes a major distraction. Nissan will replace the broken part for $100 and up. Online, there are dozens of videos showing customer complaints. Nissan knows about this cheap part but will not correct.

The sunvisors will not stay up against the ceiling, or against the windshield, and drop down into my line of sight when I don't want them to.

The driver's side sun visor is defective. I barely used this and it will not stay in place, which makes it a hazard while driving because it will not stay in place. Nissan you have been made aware of this defective part and this should be recalled. It makes driving hazardous.

The sun visors on both the drivers and passenger side will not stay up while driving the plastic supports on both sides have cracked and will not stay in the proper position. This creates a safety hazard as if the do not stay up it blocks the visibility and ability to drive safely. I have had to remove it as I do not want to hold it up while driving.

Driver side sunvisor began popping upon closure about a year ago. Within the last week, it has completely broken and will no longer stay upright. This is causing limited visibility and hazardous driving conditions.

Driver side sun visor started coming down last year then finally broke. We bought a new one and installed it for $100. Then 6 months later the passenger side broke. We have hit our heads numerous times and other passengers as well. Then, just 3 weeks ago the newly installed driver side sun visor started coming down. This is very annoying and painful when colliding with the broken sun visor. Nissan should give recall on their 2014 Pathfinder sun visors. During driving the visor hangs halfway down which obstructs the driving view and also reduces depth of field vision for braking purposes.

The drivers side sun visor will not stay in upright position. It is blocking the drivers view of the road.

Sun visor on the driver's side is broke. Had the car 2 years. Barely ever pulled it down, only when there was a lot of sun in my eyes and I couldn't see. Found out on line there have been numerous complaints about this on 2014 models. People keep having problems with them breaking, unexpectedly. There is no recall.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the front driver side and passenger side sun visors had failed and would not stay secured. The contact indicated that while driving the visor would randomly fall down obstructing the view of the driver and front passenger. The cause of the failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer eddie tourelles Nissan(955 n. Hwy 190, covington, la) was notified of the failure and the contact was advised that the sun visors needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,000. Jft.

The sun visors in my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder are making a popping noise and will not stay in the correct position. This is causing a visibility problem when driving. They have been making a popping noise for several months. The passenger side will not stay up and the driver side is starting to drop.

Sun visors on 2014 Nissan Pathfinder need to be recalled, definitely a safety hazard. Both driver and passenger side visors will not stay up, obstructing visibility. Have noted many other complaints. Come on Nissan; we have driven your automobiles for 25 yrs now. Do we have to have a serious accident before something is done?.

The sun visor is too big and heavy to stay firm all the way up, only1 inch and half its support all the visor so thats its too small for that heaviest.

My drivers side interior door handle all of a sudden broke. I had to crawl out of my car from the passenger side to exit/enter my vehicle. And, my drivers side visor is broken and hangs down--obstructing my visibility while driving. Both problems occurred at 53,000 miles and are a safety hazard. Both problems also seem to be a very common issue with the Nissan Pathfinder and of course are not covered when basic warranty expires at 36,000 miles.

Model yrs 2013-2016 Nissans. Driver sunvisor manufactured with brittle plastic frame breaks causing the sunvisor to suddenly, without warning drop down and obstruct the drivers view of the roadway ahead. Could cause accidents leading to possible injury or fatality. Thousands have had to be replaced at owners expense. Very common defect on the above year vehicles. Ours has had to be duct taped to the headliner to keep it out of our vision.

Visors do not stay in the up position. Become loose and fall while driving causing visual impairment to the driver.

Driver side sun visor broken and visor hangs in full view of driver - no way to keep it up. Major safety hazard.

The sun visors block the view of the driver and can not be adjusted. This is the second set of sun visors for this car at $400. 00 a pop every two years. It has blinded me of on comming traffic often. This happens everytime I drive this car. Nissan is very un-concerned of my safety as they almost said.

Driver and passenger side sun visors do not stay up and do not extend forward fully. As a result, the visor hangs in the driver's / passenger's line of vision, limiting roadway visibility and creating a potential head hazard in an accident. Problem is persistent and can only be fixed by replacing the visor.

I experienced issues with both the passenger and driver side sun visors where they would no longer stay up. From the driver side this obstructs the vision which causes a safety issue. Additionally this occurred on the passenger side where it would significant hurt a passenger in the event of an accident. I researched this online as well as talked to the dealer and this is a wide spread and known issue. I have attached a picture of the passenger side before I got it fixed at my own cost. This should be a recall as its a safety issue and there is nothing you can do to keep the visor out of the way once the visor breaks.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while stationary, the sunvisor on the passenger's side fractured and was hanging down. The contact expressed that in the event of a crash the sunvisor could strike and injure the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000. Ad.

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.
