“When driving our nv2500 on a city street the van just went dead. Engine quit, no electrical, no dash lights, nothing. I put the van in park and tried to restart. Nothing, totally dead. Waited a minute of so and tried to restart - same as before - nothing totally dead. Opened the hood and checked battery cables - ok. Looked for any loose ignition wire - ok. Looked underneath van for any liquids coming out of engine or anything else weird -ok. We called aaa to have the van taken to classic Nissan in statesville, nc. …”

“The window regulator bent into itself and cause the window to not be able to go up. Mechanic said that this should not happen, and it seemed the part was faulty. The door latch also stopped working, you could open the drivers door from the inside once, then the latch stopped working and the door would have to be opened from the outside. Two weeks after that happened the drivers power seat will no longer move forwards and back, but other functions on the seat work.”
