Nissan Maxima 2003 Complaint

Complaint about VISIBILITY : SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY

RALEIGH, NC

Consumer Complaint:
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.*AK
