THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE PLASTIC PART INSIDE OF THE VISOR FLAT PANEL HAS BROKEN AND CANNOT HOLD UP THE VISOR AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, OR AS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION. BEFORE IT FLOPPED DOWN COMPLETELY, IT USED TO MAKE A LARGE AND STRANGE CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER THE VISOR IS RAISED OR LOWERED. THEN IT BROKE. COMPLETELY. DRIVING IS UNSAFE ANS THE LINE OF SIGHT IS BLOCKED COMPLETELY, UNLESS RELEASED TO THE SIDE, WHICH THEN BLOCKS THE SIDE VIEW, OR RAISED USING OTHER METHODS (DUCT TAPE, VELCRO, ETC.).

BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE SUN-VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE CEILING, OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND DROP DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. MYSELF AND HITTING OUR HEAD ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2018. AFTER 50 DAYS OF USE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS BEGAN INCONSISTENTLY AND THEN HAPPENED MORE OFTEN. AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER ISSUE BEGAN. WHEN I WOULD BEGIN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, I WOULD PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS WOULD JOLT FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY BUT APPARENTLY FIXED SOMETHING WITH THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER MORE HEAVILY. WHILE TRYING TO PARK, MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY CAME TO A HAULT AND STOPPED MOVING.
