2013 Nissan Pathfinder Visibility & Wipers Problems

Sun visors on both driver and passenger side, have problems and keep falling down. It is a known recurring issue with Nissan, and it blocks vision of the road ahead, as well as when they hang down, it causes head injury thrust against the edge of visor. The dealership confirmed that this is a known issue yet Nissan has not issued a recall for this, it is a safety hazard. The visors will not stay up in place, and they fall down just enough to have the hard edge of the visor directly in front of the forehead, causing injury and impeding visibility.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the sun visor failed to operate. The contact stated that the sun visor blocked her vision. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer nor the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000. The consumer stated the sun visor was repaired at owners expense due to safety reasons.

THE SUNVISOR/SHADE ON BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS NOT STAYING IN PLACE. IT IS BLOCKING THE VIEW. UPON CALLING NISSAN THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND HAVE TO ONLY INFORM NHTSA TO TAKE SPECIFIC ACTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES FAILED TO RAISE UP AND REMAINED IN THE LOWERED POSITION. THE SUN VISORS OBSCURED THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 37262593. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM THE UNIT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOSSY NISSAN (8118 CLAIREMONT MESA BLVD, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111,(858) 565-4411) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPRINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE RETRACTED POSITION, OBSTRUCTING WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY. PLASTIC PARTS FOR RETAINING SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN. THIS IS WITH VERY LIGHT USE. BOTH SUN VISORS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AROUND THE SAME TIME, WHICH POINTS TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

ON A BUMPY ROAD, DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED COMPLETELY AND DROPPED DOWN BLOCKING DRIVERS VISION. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED SUN VISOR PREVIOUSLY, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US BEFORE.

THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS BROKE AND WON'T STAY IN PLACE AND ARE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAIL TO STAY UP WHILE COVERING MY VISIBILITY THAT I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ,UNFORTUNATELY I REACTED QUICKLY SLAMMING THE BRAKES ,THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AROUND IN MAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE .BUT THEN AFTER ONE MONTH THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FAIL TOO WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ,BEING A PAIN ON THE BUT ,I HAD TO TAKE BOTH OUT . HOPING SOME ONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT .BEFORE SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN

SUN VISORS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP OR IN POSITION. THEY HANG DOWN CREATING A HAZARD. THEY BLOCK VISIBILITY. HAVE TO HOLD THEM IN PLACE WITH OTHER HAND WHEN TRYING TO TURN IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE.

SUNVISOR FAILS TO HOLD AND WILL ULTIMATELY FALL IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT WITH NO WAY TO SECURE CREATING A VISIBILITY HAZARD. EVEN IF THE VISOR IS REPLACED BY NISSAN IT WILL FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE FLAWED DESIGN. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR SUNVISORS. I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT BY NUMEROUS THREADS, FORUMS, AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN FREE AND WILL DROP DOWN AT ANYTIME. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NISSAN MUST BE AWARE OF BY THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON HERE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOW JUST HANGS IN MY LINE OF SIGHT UNLESS I PUSH IT OVER TO THE SIDE, WHICH ALSO OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. WE HAVE TRIED USING VELCRO BUT THE STICKY SIDE FALLS OFF WHEN IT GETS COLD IN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS FALLEN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD ONCE WHILE DRIVING WHICH SCARED ME AND MADE ME JERK THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED.

SUN VISORS MAKE A CLICKING NOISE ON DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE, DEALER STATED THAT THEY WILL BREAK , SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE, ALSO SAID THE COST TO REPLACE WAS OVER 200.00 EACH.

I HAVE VERY USUAL MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH A SUN VISOR IN MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2013. BOTH SUN VISORS ARE HANGING ONE THIRD WAY DOWN AND I CONSIDER THIS AS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE I AM OR MY WAFE IS DRIVING THE CAR.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKEN AND FLAPS DOWN UNEXPECTED WHEN DRIVING. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AND FIX THEM FREE - AS OF NOW THEY CONTEND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED WITH THE 5 YEAR, 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED. FOUR OUT OF THE PAST 5 COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE RELATED TO THIS VERY ISSUE (AND NO MINE). NISSAN NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DESIGN FLAW BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR.

THE SUN VISORS NO LONGER STAY UP AND OUT OF THE VIEW SOME TIMES SWING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING BLOCKING VISIBILITY

BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR ARE TOO HEAVY FOR THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THEM AND OVER TIME STARTS TO HANG AND EVENTUALLY BREAK AT THE SWIVEL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AS THE VISOR BLOCKS YOUR LINE OF SIGHT AND ONCE IT BREAKS IT IS COMPLETELY IN YOUR WAY. I REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND ITS ALREADY HANGING AGAIN, THE DRIVER SIDE ONE WAS HANGING AND BROKE AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE SERVICE MAN AT THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THEY KEEP A TON OF THEM IN STOCK, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS BREAKING/HANGING. DRIVING THIS CAR IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BROKE (A PIECE INSIDE THE VISOR) EARLY ON IN OWNERSHIP BUT NOT ENOUGH TO BOTHER ME. NOW, IT HANGS DOWN IN MY FACE OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE INTERNALLY AND FLOPS DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S SIGHTLINE--WILL NOT STAY UP OR ANY OTHER POSITION THAN DIRECTLY IN THE DRIVER'S SIGHTLINE. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON YOUTUBE INCLUDING A NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPORTING THAT IT HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL 2013-2016 PATHFINDERS. IT IS DANGEROUS AS IT AFFECTS VISABILITY. NISSAN WANTS $141 / VISOR FOR THE PART ALONE. INSTALLED, GENERALLY OVER $200. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. PROBLEM OCCURRED AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO USE THE SUN VISOR FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.
