| Three of four original equipment window regulators have failed in the car. the dealer indicated that it was a known problem with the model year. the dealer indicated that the high pressure fuel line was not a very good design as well. they indicated that the heat from the motor caused the rubber to break down, and that's why strong fuel odors could be detected when using the defrost on cold mornings. | |||

| 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. | |||

| The electric window regulator for that year model is prone to failure according to the dealer, it should be replaced free and not cost $190 to replace since it is a hazard if the window can't be closed during severe weather. | |||
