Description of the problem | The sun visors are poorly engineered and are easily broken through normal operation. The visor was placed against the windshield to block the sun, while driving, the visor pivoted downward and blocked the driver's field of view. This is a common problem as one can easily see with a quick web query. Frustrating that the part is expensive to replace, but even more concerning that it presents a safety hazard and nissan dealerships said "it's common that the visors break because they're made of cheap plastic" |
