The sun visor on the driver side has malfunctioned. It does not stay in its normal upright position. It hangs about a quarter of the way down and moves around during turns, making it even more of a safety hazard than it already was because in an accident or a hard braking situation, the driver is going to hit their head on it.

I was driving my 2014 nissan altima with my 2 year old in the car on the highway when my sunroof shattered, sounding like a gun shot. I had the sunroof replaced shortly after purchasing my car in 2014 for leaks. I haven't had any problems since until today (9/5/18). We were traveling on us 75n near collins road at the time of the incident. I'm not aware of anything that would have caused this random occurrence.
