2001 Nissan Xterra visibility problems

Filed Sep 6, 2011 · Electrical, Visibility · 67,000 miles · CA

I opened case # [xxx] with nissan regarding the failure of all four window regulators in the nissan xterra I purchased from nissan of bourne (ma) in 2000 on martha's vineyard. That is where the vehicle is garaged and used and only has 67k miles on it. The windows have been acting up for quite some time (many years) now and the vehicle is primarily used only in the summer. There was a window regulator warranty extension (pu307) issued on this vehicle and there are numerous online complaints about the problem. Nissan consumer affairs has rejected the claim since it is beyond the warranty extension period even though I was never notified of the problem since it only applied to "warm weather" states. I'd like to escalate this claim to encourage nissan to pick up the cost of parts as this is a safety issue should the window get stuck in the up or down position. There are numerous online complaints about this problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On my 2001 nissan xterra, the windows are nearly inoperable on front driver and passenger sides. They started out slowly and getting stuck half the way up, it would usually take about 4 attempts to get window all the way up. This is a serious nissan problem, and according to other forums, others are having same problem. The windows need to have a recall on them, it is very aggravating to not be able to roll the windows up or down, what if your door gets hit by a car, and door is inoperable?

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.

It's been 1 1/2 year that I have the problem with rear windows on my nissan xterra. They can go down, but they want go up. I have two kids of 5 and 16 years old and I am little concerned what would happen if I put the windows down by mistake.I think this is very unsafe. I did contact nissan and they told me that this is not they problem. I did look online and I found that I am not the only one. This is very unsafe if I open those windows by mistake lets say in the middle of nowhere. Very unsafe!!!!! Thank you!

(1) my driver window began to grind when I used it. Shortly after it would not work at all. (2) currently, 3 of 4 of my window regulators do not work properly. I started to look on the net to see if others are having this problem and that is how I found this web site. Nissan never sent me anything on this issue even though they had a voluntary service campaign (pu306 & pu307). They don't consider it a danger, but I think that in the middle of a michigan winter when my windows won't go up and you have a baby in the back seat dangerous. After multiple phone calls to nissan they want me to take it into to the dealer and pay $100 for them to diagnose the problem. I don't have $100 to gamble with knowing that it may lead to not reimbursement. I am the only owner of this vehicle and nissan has always had my contact info, yet they never sent me any notice of this expired campaign.

I have a 2001 nissan xterra that I bought in 2002 while the windows were still working. Within two months of my purchase the two rear windows stopped working. It was not but a couple of weeks until the passenger window completely broke and slid down into my door. The drivers side goes down very slowly making a grinding noise and has to be manually rolled up. The warranty is up and it will cost me $1800 to get it fixed. I will not spend that kind of money on a poorly manufactured car after the fact that they will not recall it. I will never buy another nissan again.
