I OWN A 2003 NISSAN XTERRA WITH 7400 MILES ON IT. ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2004, I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS WERE POWERLESS. I CALLED CONICELLI NISSAN SERVICE IN CONSHOHOCKEN, PA IMMEDIATLEY AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE THE NEXT DAY (FEBRUARY 26, 2004). DURING THE FIRST SERVICE CHECK, THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN AND DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. ON FEBRUARY 27, 2004, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY WINDOWS. THIS TIME MY FRONT, RIGHT, DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET IT UP. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED CONICELLI, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER AND TECHNICIAN WERE ABLE TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD TO CONNECT A CHARGE TO THE WIRE TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK ON MONDAY, MARCH 1,...

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT WINDOWS OF MY NISSAN XTERRA, I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO AND THE FRONT WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING TWICE ALREADY. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE XTERRAS AND THAT NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL OR EVEN HAS A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN HAVING TO CHANGE THE SAME PART OVER AND OVER. AS WE ALL KNOW WE BUY NEW CARS FOR THEIR DEPENDABILITY NOT BECAUSE WE LIKE THE PAYMENTS! *LA
