First the driver side window stopped working. Sounds like breaking glass when it is rolled down. Will only roll down 1 -2 inches and will not roll back up. The left rear window will roll down but will not roll back up. The right rear window will occasionally roll down but will not roll back up. The front passenger window works for now.
I purchased my 2001 Nissan Xterra in may 2004. As I was driving home I noticed how the driver's and passenger's window glass shakes badly, as if they were going to fall right out the window or break. I contacted the dealer the 2 days later and was told, they would check into it and get back to me. For the following 3 weeks we had arguments over the financing of the vehicle, which we finally resolved, but they refused to explain or offer information about the window glass. I have seen a mechanic about the situation, and was informed that the regulators for all four windows need to be replaced as they are defective. I notified the dealer and they refused to correct the problem, stating I have to pay for it myself! I would like to know if there is a recall or something that Nissan is doing to repair this at minimal costs to owners! thanks!.
Three of the four power windows on my 2001 Nissan Xterra failed.
