Description of the problem | 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. |
