    Have you tried cleaning the glass; maybe wax the edges? Owners of older Miatas use lithium grease in the tracks for their slow power windows. They apply it to the tracks with a Q Tip. I guess if the tracks are dirty the strain can cause the switch to draw more power and burn the contacts. Courtesy Nissan has online sales and Rock Auto has a lot of aftermarket stuff.

    I own a 2000 Nissan Quest Van with 90,000 miles. My daughter is currently at school with this van. She called to say the van is making a cranking noise in the front end when she turns the steering wheel. Doesn't happen all the time but enough that it is cause for concern. Any thoughts on the problem?

    Letters were automatically sent to registered Quest owners from Nissan. We got one from corporate, and one labelled as from dealer, although they look so similar in format that you gotta figure it's from the same program. One referred to "VIP pricing" and 2000$ cash back, the other didn't really elaborate anything specific.

The rotors don't actually warp but they develop high spots that leads to brake pedal judder. This vibration can develop as soon as 2000 miles. The CRUX of ... Read More
