2016 Nissan Rogue wipers, windshield & visibility problems

I leased a 2016 nissan rogue and from day one noticed that the chrome colored A/C vents reflect off side windows. This causes a constant view of the vents right in line with side view mirrors. I have attached photo. I asked nissan to replace vent covers or paint them. They said only at my expense. I believe this is a safety issue and should be addressed. I have already swerved a few times trying to change lanes. It appeared there was something next to my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the contact heard a loud, abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the sound sounded like a gunshot. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home and inspected the vehicle and could not find any damage. The next day upon shutting the door, the contact heard broken glass rattling on her sunroof and discovered that a large middle section of the panoramic sunroof had shattered without incident.
