What owners wrote
Alarm beeps when set but does not sound if car is broken into. Car was parked. Power sliding door does not always shut when power button is pushed. Does not always lock and latch as well. Door flew open while driving on the freeway. Also when closing does not stop if someone is in the way. Caught my four yr old daughter's leg and shut on it. Tire pressure light constantly comes on even when tires are completely aired up. Back rear door does not always open whether button inside van or remote key is pushed.
Vehicle lost speed dramatically on the road. Car would not drive more than 10 MPH, no increase in rpms with accelerator depressed. Mechanic reports ECM failed while driving due to rust development. ECM is placed in unprotected location directly under windshield drain. Nissan offers no fix.
