FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
ENGINE STALLS AT IDLE OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPM'S FALL BELOW 600. HAD TO RESTART ENGINE AND KEEP ONE FOOT ON ACCELERATOR AND OTHER ON BRAKE TO KEEP RPM'S ABOVE STALLING POINT. ON WAY TO WORK, I MUST HAVE HAD TO RESTART AT LEAST 25 TIMES AND MULTIPLE MORE TIMES TO GET HOME. HAD TO REPLACE THE ICV OR AAC VALVE AT A COST OF OVER $550 (HAD I GONE TO DEALER); BUT WAS ABLE TO PAY LESS AT AN INDEPENDANT REPAIR SHOP OF $380. THIS PART SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER ON MY WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE.*AK

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
WHEN DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. PASSENGER LOOKED AROUND AND SAW NO VEHICLES NEAR THE CAR. OPENED THE SHADE FOR THE SKY-VIEW GLASS ROOF OF A 2004 NISSAN MAXIA AND GLASS FLEW INTO THE CAR CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SWIRVE ON THE HIGHWAY. GLASS CUT BOTH PASSANGERS HANDS, ARMS AND FACE. THE SKY-VIEW GLASS ROOF HAD APPARENTLY SHATTERED. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED.*AK THIS IS A SKY VIEW ROOF THAT DOES NOT OPEN. THE GLASS PANEL RUNS THE LENGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL SUNROOF THAT POPS UP OR SLIDE REARWARD. CONSUMER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. NOW THE GLASS PANEL LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS. CONSUMER WAS CUT BY THE GLASS CHARDES WHEN OPENING THE SHADE AND THE SHATTERED GLASS FELL INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE SHADE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.CW

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
IGNITION COIL FAILURE. THE CAR IS 47 MONTHS OLD WITH 32,000 MILES. DEALER INSISTS THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY WHICH COIL IS FAILING AND SAYS I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL SIX COILS - FOR $578. I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN HAS REPORTEDLY PRODUCED AN IMPROVED REPLACEMENT. IT SEEMS THE SOLUTION IS FOR ME TO PAY FOR NOT ONLY THE FAILED PART BUT THE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEFORE THEY FAIL.*AK
