| Description of the problem | Overhead console at the front (sunglasses holder) fell from console. The clips broke and it fell while driving. (approximately october 2011). We fixed the problem on our own. About the same time, the rear overhead console came loose, and was partly hanging from the ceiling. The clips were broken, and we used bolts to hold it back in place, but summer 2012, the rear console compartment fell while driving and hit our son. He was uninjured, but he wasn't sitting directly under it, where he could have caused minor injuries. Cannot find a replacement part without going through nissan and paying $1,000+. |
