About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The sun-roof on my 2003 Maxima SE would open randomly; once when I was doing 70 mph on the interstate. I took the car to the dealership after the first occurrence and they were unable to duplicate the problem (see "random"). I called after the second occurrence and they still had no formal knowledge of any problem with this equipment. After the 3rd occurrence, when I brought my car in for regular maintenance oil change, I again mentioned it to the service tech. He looked in the technical bulletins and found that this was a documented defect. I was unable to find it on the NHTSA site however, so I thought it was worthy of a conplaint so that others experiencing this problem will know that Nissan is aware of the defect and can replace the malfunctioning component.
