What owners report
The sunvisor on the driver side kept falling lower and lower obstructing vision. Reading about it online I found that this is very common in Nissan vehicles. Also every time I got in and out of the car, I would hit my head on the sunvisor. Eventually, I bought from Nissan a new sunvisor and replaced it however I do feel that Nissan should recall this and replace it as they know that this is a known problem. It is all over the Internet that this is a known problem; they need to figure out how to fix this and prevent this from happening. If I was in a car accident, the angle that the sunvisor was at would literally have pushed into my forehead and cut me very badly; at the very least they sho
The passenger airbag is not activated. I bought car 6/11/26 and I donât believe there was a problem or I did not notice it. I saw online that there was an airbag problem recall in the past.
To date three of the outside door handles have broken off. The driver door handle which was repaired at Riverside Nissan in May 2025 for $442. The front right passenger door handle which was broken in early 2025- and remians unrepaired. The rear right passenger door handle which broke in the latest August 2026 incident.

Recently bought this car used with about 105,000 miles and I noticed that the air bag light comes on and stays on. Previous owner said it had always been an issue, but he was told that it would cost over $5000 to fix. He declined the repair. Since I bought it used I took it to the Nissan dealership for a diagnostic and complete lookover. I also asked if there was any recalls on that air bag light and was informed that there was none. I searched myself on your website and got the same information, but decided to check the complaints to see if anyone else had reported the same issue. I did find several that matched the description of my issue. This is a major safety concern as it would be diff
