While driving home from work, the vehicle's transmission stopped working, resulting in coasting out of traffic and requiring a tow home at night. My safety and the safety of others were at risk. The next morning, the vehicle was towed to the mechanic shop, which confirmed the transmission failed and needs a complete replacement. There was not any warning lights or clear symptoms. In hindsight, there were some slight performance warnings that began about 2 miles prior to failure. The vehicle had a slight hesitation (like driving a car that wasn't warmed up prior to the 1990s or using cheap gas) but it was so slight and not alarming or cause for concern. The following day I was scheduled to drive to San Fransisco, had the failure occurred on I-80, it would have been a dangerous situation. Another safety issue is the radio screen that doesn't work when the outside temperature is hot, it flashes so bright, and it is so distracting that I put a postcard in front of it to dim the strobe effect. The dealership said I need to replace the computer but it was safe to drive. This vehicle has been well maintained and has approx 121k miles. The link to the repair estimate from the mechanic stopped working after I declined the $9000 cost. So I cannot provide that. The vehicle was towed back to my home, and it is parked in my driveway until I figure out what to do.

The power window components are malfunctioning and have failed. The driver side window is moving up and down at random, and the rear passenger side window has failed and is falling down at random leaving window open and will not stay up. This is a huge safety issue, and puts the driver and passengers in the rear all at risk. The vehicle has been checked at Nissan, and confirmed to have motor failure, regulator failure, structural holes in the door panel unoperable and unrepairable. Due to the malfunction and failure of all of these components involved, the recommendation is to replace the entire door. There was previously a warning light, UNKNOWN warning light. This is an electrical issue with malfunctions and I should not be held responsible for this door repair, and safety issue, which is estimated to cost $4,000. Please advise on this defect/safety issue.
