2001 Nissan Frontier Visibility & Wipers Problems

I OWN '01 NISSAN XTERRA. IN '03 I HAD TO REPLACE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR. FEB. '05 REMAINING 3 REGULATORS FAILED, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. ONE OF THE WINDOWS WAS IN "DOWN POSITION" DURING HEAVY SNOW STORM.*AK IT CREATED SIGNIFFICANT DISTRACTION TO A DRIVER. CURRENTLY WAITING FOR NISSAN TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND RECAL.

THE CONSUMER TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER OF THE 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER FOR ABOUT 20 MIN TO REMOVE FOG FROM THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE HE SAW A ONE FOOT CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. **NAR*** *NM THE CRACK EMANATED FROM THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IN A STRAIGHT LINE THAT HAD BECOME CONVEX IN THE CENTER. *SC *JB

FOR ABOUT THE PAST YEAR, THE DRIVER'S ELECTRIC WINDOW HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN OPENING THE WINDOW, THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, CLOSING THE WINDOW, IT GOES UP VERY SLOWLY AND YOU HAVE TO TAP ON THE BUTTON TO GET IT TO CLOSE COMPLETELY.*AK I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO SERVICE TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THE "SERVICE CAMPAIGN" BECAUSE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE RANGE OF THE PROBLEM AND BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS 73K MILES AND THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN WAS ONLY TO 60K MILES. NO CORRECTION ACTION WAS TAKEN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE'S SERIAL NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN RANGE. I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET IF I WANT THIS REPAIRED.

WHEN ON THE VENT SETTING THE SYSTEM CONTINUOUSLY INTRODUCES HOT AIR INTO THE TRUCK. I HAVE MEASURED THE TEMPERATURE OF THIS AIR AT 118F WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 70 F. AFTER TRIPS TO TWO DEALERS AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INTAKE AIR VENTS THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM ABOVE, THE PROBLEM IS NO BETTER.

CONSUMER TURNED ON VENT AND WARM AIR WAS COMING OUT. DEALER CHECKED, AND FOUND COWL VENT, BENEATH WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WAS PLUGGED WITH PLASTIC. PLASTIC BLOCKED FRESH AIR FROM COMING INSIDE VEHICLE. INSTEAD IT FILLED VEHICLE WITH WARM AIR. NISSAN SAID IT WAAS NORMAL, AND AT THIS WAS WORKING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK
