When I use the auto window switch for my passenger window it goes all the way up, then about 1/3 down. Nissan said the limit switch needs to be adjusted, but it would cost about $100 -- even though the car was still under warranty. They said it was an "adjustment", and adjustments are covered only until 12,000 miles. Geez!
I told them to stuff it for $100. Has anyone adjusted their window? What needs to be done? I'll do it myself if I can.
What?! Your $tealership is run by a bunch of crooks! If the windows do not function as they should, they are covered under warranty, not the "adjustment" period, which is meant to cover things like wheel alignment.
I suggest you either find another dealer, or return your current dealer and demand they repair the windows or else you will call Nissan Consumer Affairs to report them (its the 1-800 in your owners manual). Hearing stories like this about dealerships trying to trick customers makes me pretty steamed.
I agree with Eric L., the dealer is just trying to weasel out of doing what is right. I would go back to the dealer and tell him that if he expects you to ever purchase a new car from him again he had better reconsider his position.
I *****ed to the service manager for no avail. Plus I contacted Nissan NA -- got no place. Now the car is out of warranty. All I want to do is get it fixed. I took it to a local repair shop where I've gone for years and they said it requires a special tool that only Nissan has. Sounds strange. It can't be that complicated. Anyone know what to do?

I do not know how to fix the window, but as a last resort I would reach out to the sales department (not the service manager) at your dealership and tell them you like the 06s and are considering a new MO in the near future but have concerns with their service support. I am sure he will respond by telling you their service department is second to none. Let him know you have your doubts because they have refused to fix a relatively minor problem on your current MO. You have nothing to lose.
I checked the shop manual, looks like no special tool is needed. You just need to operate the motor when it is detached from the regulator for 5 seconds. Pictures in following posts. Whoever told you a "special tool" is needed doesn't know what they are talking about.
The steps are very straightforward. Door panel comes off (you lift it up off a ledge on the metal door) with a few screws and clips (like when installing speakers). Regulator is held on by bolts and an electrical connector. In particular, refer to "Window 3 of 3" below for "reset" directions.
