FOR UNKNOWN REASONS THE FRONT WINDOWS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) WILL LET THEMSELVES DOWN. HAVE ASKED NISSAN DEALER ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID WE MUST HAVE HIT THE REMOTE KEY. I DON'T BUY THIS AS THIS OCCURRED WHILE KEYS TO THE VEHICLE WAS IN SPOUSES PURSE AND PURSE WAS ON FLOOR SOME 50 YARDS AWAY. THIS IS NOT FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND WE HAVE INQUIRED AT DEALER AND ALWAYS GET SAME ANSWER-SOMEONE HIT THE KEY. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK UP AND YOU CAN'T START THE AUTO UNLESS YOU WORK WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNING FROM 9 TO 3, 3 TO 9, 9 TO 3, 3 TO 9. EVENTUALLY IT WILL FREE ITSELF UP. *TR
