2007 Nissan Murano wipers, windshield & visibility problems

On two occasions with heavy wet snow the windshield wipers became stuck. Both times it was impossible to pull over to clear the ice build up from under the arm and inside the hood. This created an extremely hazardous driving situation.

First problem was the driver side visor which kept flopping down causing a hazard blocking the driver's vision. Second problem happen later, the driver seat broke while driving, left rear bracket broke. Call and wrote to nissan customer service and was told both problems were out of warranty and they would not honor my claim. This is the third nissan that I have owned, and will never buy another nissan product.
