Both my sun visors have failed after only 61000 miles. The driver's side visor lost its ability to stay in either the up or fully forward situation resulting in it falling down in front of my vision while I was driving down the highway. The passenger side visor is almost at the same stage of failure.

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.

Sunvisors on both driver and passenger side have a design flaw and a piece inside the visor breaks. When this piece breaks, the visors will not stay up or down and just hang in the drivers line of sight.

Sun visor falls down in front of the driver blocking their view of traffic. Faulty sunvisors made of plastic are the problem and there are many pathfinder owners complaining about them. If you hold the sun visor up while your driving then your driving with one hand on the steering wheel.

I was driving my 2015 nissan pathfinder on the expressway with my wife in the passenger seat and 2 kids (8 & 9) in the rear seat. I had the sunroof closed but the shade screen open. All of a sudden there was a loud bang and the sunroof glass shattered.

The drivers side sun-visor doesn't stay up. It hangs directly down, causing it to be right in my line of sight. I have attempted to velcro or tape it up but nothing works for very long and the visor will fall down while I am driving.
