“2004 Nissan armada: subject:automatic windows. Brought to the market years ago, they have until now worked in automatic mode for the roll down of windows (mainly drivers window). The new armada allows for roll-up of windows in the automatic mode also. As I work in the auto industry I can recall this option coming to market and discussing the dangers to small children who would accidentally roll up a window on limbs and neck. It should be self evident. Nissan needs to discontinue if not recall. There can only be injuries, death and lawsuits gained from this vehicle option.”
