1990 Nissan Maxima Visibility Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE WINDOW PROBLEM I HAVE SEEMS TO BE WITH A LOT OF THIS CAR MODEL. EACH TIME I HAD A WINDOW FIXED, IT COST ME $220.00. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM MY OTHER WITH THE TRANSMISSON JUST STARTED AND I DO HAVE 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WOULD EXPECT SOME THINGS TO GO WRONG. THE WINDOW PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. ALSO WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE FIRST WINDOW REPAIRED I ASKED ABOUT MY RADIO ANTENNA NOT GOING UP AND DOWN ANYMORE. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY WINDOWS. THE OPERATING MECHANISM IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. MOTOR RUNS BUT NOTHING GOES UP AND DOWN.
