“I have a 2001 Nissan Quest, since I received the vehicle from the dealer in march of 2001,the driver side sliding door kept jamming anywhere from 1 to 3 days at a time, and would unlock at times while I was driving, the passenger sliding door window would pop open when you closed the door. I finally took the auto to westbury Nissan on 10/07/2002 regarding this problem while I was covered under the warranty,they charged me $23.70 for the repair of the passenger side sliding door window which worked for only two weeks and I finally taped the lock shut. …”

This caused the entire engine to drop. The vehicle is no longer drivable. Repair requires extensive structural work. There was no indication of a problem in advance of the incident. The vehicle had been service regularly. The compromised area was not previously visible as it is concealed by a splash guard. …”
