On 11/27/2007, I came home to find both of the front windows of my 2006 Nissan Altima down. The mystery to me is how my windows got rolled down. The alarm on my car was on, the steering column was locked and my lock bar was still on the steering column. Luckily nothing was stolen and my neighbors had taped plastic on my windows to avoid damage if it had rained. Pictures were taken and the police were called. Of course, the mystery still remains as to how the windows were rolled down. No one has a key to my car and each morning/evening, I ensure that the alarm is on. If this is some sort of defect, I would like to know. Is it a way for someone to roll down my electric windows without turning the ignition" is there a way for someone's remote control to operate the windows of my vehicle" my remote control does not control the windows. I will be discussing this incident further with the dealer when I take my vehicle in for it's first oil change (since purchased Dec. 2006 - but has less than 3500 miles).
