Nissan dealer service said they’ve never heard of the problem despite many Internet postings about the problem. Nissan customer service will only refer me to a dealer despite multiple requests for a technical contact from Nissan.

Driver's side sun visor randomly falls into the down position and blocks driver's vision. Can feel inside of cloth covering that the body of the visor has come apart at the seams. This would appear to be a significant safety hazard.

My wife was driving down the interstate when all of a sudden, without warning, the driver side visor fell completely off of its mount into her lap.
We weren't that far from the dealership we purchased the car from, so we took it there to get it fixed as we both thought this is ridiculous to be happening in a relatively new car. The dealership fixed the part and told us that the visor would have cost around $300 had this happened out of warranty. Why is a $300 visor falling off of the car the first place when my wife was not even touching it while she was driving?! While there we went ahead and got the hood latch recall taken care of too.
In all, I feel that this Altima will not last four years without breaking down and needing some major repairs. Take a look at the drivetrain complaints I'm about to fill one of those out next.

The visor keeps falling down all the time more and more. It's very annoying.
