Description of the problem | The sun visors in the pathfinders have a plastic hinge attachment that fails regularly in several years of the vehicle. While the sun visor may not be safety critical equipment, the mode of failure makes it unsafe. When it fails, you are unable return it to normal position and it hangs fully down (at least in my case) obstructing the driver's visibility. When it failed for me, my vehicle was in motion on a highway, with very heavy traffic. I have fixed the failed visor so can't provide a picture. |
