VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. THIS HAPPENED TO 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOWS. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST WINDOW FAILING...BUT WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. MY LOCAL DEALER, PETRO AUTOMOTIVE, DID STATE THAT THEY WERE CONSTANTLY REPAIRING POWER WINDOWS WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PLASTIC ROLLER...THE ROLLER IS NOT EXPENSIVE BUT YOU MUST REPLACE THE WHOLE MOTOR. THE CONSUMER IS STUCK FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT MOTOR AND THE DANGER OF A WINDOW FALLING DURING DRIVING SPEEDS UP TO 70 MPH. I BELIEVE IF YOU AUDIT NISSAN DEALERS ON THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THEY MAKE TO THE POWER WINDOWS YOU WILL FIND A SUBSTANCIAL AMOUNT OF REPAIR WHICH WOULD WARRANT A RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE NISSAN DEALERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP ON THIS MATTER.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I BEGAN HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME UNLOCKING MY DOORS WITH THE KEY. THEN THE POWER LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THEMSELVES AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN I OPENED OR SHUT THE DOOR AND OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE WORST PROBLEM WAS THE TIME I LEFT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR THE DOORS ALL LOCKED. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING NOR WAS THERE A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR. I HAD TO GET A RIDE TO MY WIFE'S EMPLOYMENT TO GET A SPARE KEY TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT APPEARENTLY NISSAN DOES NOT SEE IT AS A PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NEVER CONTACTED ME EVEN THOUGH I HAVE WRITTEN THEM TWO LETTERS. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT DOES NEED TO BE CORRECTED. SUPPOSE A CHILD HAD BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN THE DOORS LOCKED WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION OR AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND THE DOORS LOCKED AND NO ONE COULD GET IN OR OUT.
