    THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS DESIGNED DEFECTIVE FROM NISSAN. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES THE WINDSHIELD EITHER PITS, CHIPS OR CRACKS THE GLASS. IN MY OPINION, THERE WILL BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE, POSSIBLY LEADING TO INJURIES OR A FATAL ACCIDENT. THANK YOU. ROY OXENRIDER 5/17/99

    I HAVE TRIED 4 DIFFERENT CAR SEATS AND STILL DO NOT FELL SAFE WITH THE FIT THEY HAVE IN THIS CAR. THE SEAT INCLINES AND WITHOUT A TOWEL OR SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR SEAT YOU CAN NOT INSTALL A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. I DO NOT FIND A TOWEL VERY SECURE SINCE IT SLIDES AND THE SEAT IS THEREFORE NOT IN PLACE FOR LONG: THAT IS NOT VERY SAFE. I BOUGHT A SPECIAL CAR SEAT WITH A REAR TETHER THAT CAN ANCHOR FROM THE REAR OF THE SEAT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR, BUT THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT INSTALL IT; THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ASSUME ANY RISK IF THE FRAME COULD NOT HOLD THE SEAT IN PLACE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. HAD I KNOW I WAS GOING TO HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN A DIFFERNT CAR; ONE IN WHICH A CHILD SEAT WAS MORE SECURE IN.
