Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW MALFUNCTIONS WHEN USING THE "AUTO CLOSE" FEATURE OF CLICKING THE BUTTON ALL THE WAY UP (2 NOTCHES). THIS IS SUPPOSED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW ALL THE WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HOLD THE BUTTON. WHEN I DO THIS, THE WINDOW SHUTS AND THEN RETURNS TO HALF OPENED POSITION. *AK
THE SUN-ROOF ON MY 2003 MAXIMA SE WOULD OPEN RANDOMLY; ONCE WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (SEE "RANDOM"). I CALLED AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE AND THEY STILL HAD NO FORMAL KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. AFTER THE 3RD OCCURRENCE, WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE OIL CHANGE, I AGAIN MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE TECH. HE LOOKED IN THE TECHNICAL BULLETINS AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A DOCUMENTED DEFECT. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND IT ON THE NHTSA SITE HOWEVER, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTHY OF A CONPLAINT SO THAT OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WILL KNOW THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND CAN REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONING COMPONENT.*AK
AUTOMATIC WINDOWS DO NOT HAVE A SAFETY STOP BUTTON. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
