Angry No more Autozone window motors?

My 2nd motor is dying on me and in need of a 3rd one. It appears that the vendors know that it's a sh*tty *** motor and may have stopped carrying them. I've been calling for 2 weeks and they're 'out of stock' anybody with any luck?

I could never find them at Autozone. I have to get mine refurbished for like $180.00 and it's still a pos.

autozone motors have a lifetime warranty.. obviously the catch is that there are no life time manufacturing of the parts

Tell me about it. Got a window motor from Bennet (one of those refurbed POS) and it seems like it's about to go out again. AFTER 4 months on the car! I wonder if they'll refund your money, if you raise a stink. At least then I can buy a brand new one.

I recieved my window motor on Friday from Autozone. It didn't work so I took it back and the manager placed a replacement order for me. I got the call today that they do not have any to send and to bring in my defective one for a return.

Out of curiosity, is there a DIY for replacing one?

Even though I have yet to have this problem, I am curious as to when I do how easy it would be to replace.

Dear Nissan,

Please sell us some reasonably price replacement motors for our windows. You give us a bunk unit and expect us to pay a premium for it? I thought you only get shafted like that when you own a Benz?

Considering my little Radio Controlled car can run laps around most cars on the road...
This POS window motor should be no more than 50 dollars.

Agreed... The window motor problem is VERY well documented and should be another class action suit imo.
