What owners wrote

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.

March 2018 Crash

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.
