There are pretty much only 2 types of automatic car washs, high pressure jets, and rotating brushes. No one at Chrysler thought about this?
This is why when we bought our Quest, I made sure to get a base model without power sliders. To much to go wrong, finicky technology, and expensive to fix.
So it's bad engineering from Chrysler, but you explicitly state that this is why you bought a base model Quest without power sliders. So it's bad engineering from Nissan too then?
There's a button that disables the feature. She didn't push it. So obviously they did factor in situations that would require the disabling of the system, it simply wasn't used.
No it was not actually Nissan that turned me off from power sliders, it was Chrysler. When I worked at a used car lot repair shop, seeing 3 year old Chrysler and Dodge vans needing $600 power slider motor and cable mechanisms really turned me off from ever owning one.
That doesn't counter my statement though. Your desire to avoid power sliders, despite previous experience being with a different marque as you now claim, indicates you had no faith (bad engineering) in Nissan's system either.
