2010 Nissan Maxima 4dr Sedan

290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD

15780 mi Two days ago, had the central mirror check, told me it was ok, but had to call the boss to have it changed. 
42300 mi Door latches inoperable in cold weather, trapped in the car, I had to climb into the backseat to find an exit door that worked! Dealer charges incl. tax were about $200 to open up the doors and clean and lubricate cables. Did not resolve! Door latches inoperable in cold weather, trapped in the car, I had to climb into the backseat to find an exit door that worked! This time the dealer replaced both front door actuators. Unknown if this fixed the problem as weather has warmed. 
6000 mi

Goodyear factory tires out of balance. They dismounted, remounted and road force balanced, then after a couple hundred miles, the vibration and out of balance feeling returns. Wheel or tire defect is cause, but dealer won't admit it. 
31000 mi Rear passenger window makes loud clicking sound when opening/closing. 
10000 mi Driver seat rocking. 
26000 mi Driver's seat rocking back and forth Trunk no longer opens all the way. I believe the shocks are going bad. Dealer said they could not replicate the problem 
22000 mi when new - the trunk would pop go up part way and then easily open the rest of way. after awhile it would not pop open much and then really had to push it open and force it all the way up. not that it was a big deal it was just very annoying. condensation in both mirror-side turning signals eventually caused significant malfunction in the driver's signal.
