Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: All 4 power window regulators replaced under recall, right front failed 2 more times and was again replaced under warranty.. then r/f power window motor failed, the motor still spun but the gear that locks into the regulator broke... nissan service said the repair would be over 400.00 to repair. i told advisor that motor had to be unbolted from a broken regulator 2 times and that the stress put on the motor gear when regulators continually jammed most likely was a contributing factor in the motor failure. i asked him to call nissan help desk for me and explain my situation before i had to do it.. he said he would and nissan agreed to replace the motor. i am a auto mechanic with over 20 years on the job experience and manage a repair shop. i knew as well as nissan that the regulators had a definite impact on the motor failure...i wonder if a regular consumer with no knowledge of power windows systems would know to question a 400.00 charge. if not, there are many people getting taken to the bank. note: this whole process started in march of 2004 with the first replacement of all the regulators and ended oct 2004 with the replacement of the motor and 2 more regulators. *nm
