Power window device on the drivers side seemed to work fine with the exception of rattling if it was not all the way up or down. And everytime that it would be rolled up it sounded like a chipping noise. I took it into town center Nissan, kennesaw, ga and they replaced it the same day (2-27-06) and it has been working just fine. The vehicle came that way, but I had no issue in getting it replaced.
