When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The driver-side door and left rear passenger door do not properly lock or unlock using the key fob. This is a consistent issue and creates a safety concern because the doors may remain unlocked while the vehicle is in operation. This malfunction poses a potential security and passenger safety risk. Manually locking and unlocking the doors while entering, exiting, or operating the vehicle is inconvenient and could create hazardous situations. No warning lights, alerts, or diagnostic messages have appeared related to this issue. The vehicle is less than four years old and has been maintained under normal operating conditions. A failure involving the power door lock system should not occur at this stage of ownership.

STRUCTURE:BODY
1) The passenger door on the drivers side will not open and the drivers side window also is faulty. 2) it is a safety hazard to have car doors that won't open, as it can prevent emergency exit, and it can also create a danger to other road users. If a door is stuck closed during a crash, it could prevent a person from getting out, which is particularly dangerous if the car catches fire. a faulty car window regulator is a safety hazard, especially in Florida, because it can prevent you from opening the window in an emergency, compromise security by not closing properly, and expose the interior to the elements. A faulty regulator can lead to a window being stuck, falling into the door, or not closing completely, all of which create potential risks 3) The dealer has confirmed this issue with this make and model of vehicle and have fixed the same issues when they were under warranty but refuse to handle said issue now that the warranty being up. It is a three year old car I bought new 4)This issue has been inspected and has been known by the dealer service department of Mike Erdman Nissan. 5) The issue has happened with other window regulators and doors that would not open on the vehicle in question. 4) The vehicle had issues with

ENGINE
The engine cuts off on me. It takes a long time to get up to speed. The engine is burning oil. There is no oil on the ground and no leaks present. Smoke comes out of the rear pipes when I start the car. Again there are no oil leaks present but the oil is burning out every 5-7 days.

Several problems have shown up since purchasing this car in December of last year. The back window has rolled down on it's own about 6 times within the same week I purchased the car. The head unit in the vehicle had to be reset by the dealer when they first traded the car in, according to service history and it's still having problems. I can hear the other caller on phone calls intermittently but they can't hear me. My phone has briefly disconnected from the Bluetooth system saying it couldn't be found. I thought it might be a phone issue but I got another phone and it still does it. I have a video of the head unit being completely unresponsive. The music was playing but none of the buttons were doing anything when I pushed them and the map was all that it would show. I've also had issues with burning smells when using the heated steering wheel and heated seats. I believe there is an electrical problem causing all of this but since the dealer can't duplicate the problem when I've driven it into service, they are refusing to do anything. The collision detector also goes off on it's own when I'm nowhere near another car.
