2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

SUN VISORS ARE AN ISSUE FOR SO MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS! THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY UP. THEY FALL WHILE DRIVING WHEN YOU POSSIBLY GET THEM TO STAY. WHEN THEY WON'T STAY UP THEY STAY DOWN AND MYSELF AND PASSENGERS ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING OUR HEADS ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

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.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN LAST YEAR THEN FINALLY BROKE. WE BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT FOR $100. THEN 6 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. WE HAVE HIT OUR HEADS NUMEROUS TIMES AND OTHER PASSENGERS AS WELL. THEN, JUST 3 WEEKS AGO THE NEWLY INSTALLED DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND PAINFUL WHEN COLLIDING WITH THE BROKEN SUN VISOR. NISSAN SHOULD GIVE RECALL ON THEIR 2014 PATHFINDER SUN VISORS. DURING DRIVING THE VISOR HANGS HALFWAY DOWN WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVING VIEW AND ALSO REDUCES DEPTH OF FIELD VISION FOR BRAKING PURPOSES.

WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING MY VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STAYED ON EVEN WHEN I AM OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR IS OFF. I HAD AN INCIDENT IN WHICH THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED ON WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE PEDAL, AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALREADY PRESSED. THE CAR STUTTERS TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING. I WORKED TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED THROUGH NISSAN AFTER SEEING A RECALL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. NISSAN REJECTED FIXING THE PROBLEM DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER NOT BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT RECALL. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHICH STATED THAT THE BRAKE CONTROL AND PUSH BUTTON STATER SWITCH NEED REPLACING. I REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V380000 AS SIMILAR TO MY CASE.

AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NEW IN 2014) THE VISORS BEGAN MAKING POPPING NOISES WHEN LOWERED AND WOULD NOT STAY IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW THEY WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THEY ARE OBSTRUCTING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING.

THE SUN VISOR IS TOO BIG AND HEAVY TO STAY FIRM ALL THE WAY UP, ONLY1 INCH AND HALF ITS SUPPORT ALL THE VISOR SO THATS ITS TOO SMALL FOR THAT HEAVIEST.

DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR BEGAN POPPING UPON CLOSURE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, IT HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND WILL NO LONGER STAY UPRIGHT. THIS IS CAUSING LIMITED VISIBILITY AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.

TWICE ON THIS DATE I WAS COMPLETLY STOPED FIRST TIME AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND MY VEHICLE SHUTTERED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DID NOT INCREASE SPEED'SECOND TIME AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE RESTARTED ENGINE SELECTED DRIVE ON TRANSMISSION TAPPED GAS AND VEHICLE SHUTTERED WITHOUT INCREASE IN SPEED. BOTH OCACIONS ROAD SURFACE WAS DRY AND VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE 2 WHEEL DRIVE

THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARE MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. THIS IS CAUSING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING. THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A POPPING NOISE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO DROP.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION. IT IS BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD.
