| When servicing the vehicle for a bad battery, i told the service rep that water would leak into the vehicle and drip down the door trim onto the drivers side of the vehicle. they said there was a problem with the drain lines with the sunroof. (this has been opened only a few times since we owned the vehicle) they said they cleaned the lines. since that time, i have noticed water on the drivers right side carpet. they asked me to bring in the car for service. on 28 aug 12, i went out to my vehicle and heard water in the passenger door. i called our local nissan service center for an appointment on 30 aug 12. thanks in advance for looking into this for us. *tr | |||

| This nissan altima was purchased new in sept 2011. since the purchase, we have noticed an excessive amount of rock chips in the paint. this vehicle is only driven in town and very rarely on the highways. now the clear coat is peeling on the roof where there are no chips. i have attempted to resolve this with nissan and they blame it on normal wear and tear. there are even chips on the sides of the car where it's nearly impossible for a rock to impact. *tr | |||
