What are the reasons why the windows of the 2014 Nissan X-Trail cannot be raised or lowered?
2 Answers
The inability to raise or lower the windows of the X-Trail may be due to deformation or damage of the window mud channel, loose screws on the window regulator, damage to the window regulator itself, or misalignment of the guide rail installation. It is advisable to have the issue inspected and repaired at a 4S store as soon as possible. Below are specific details about the X-Trail: 1. The 2.5L X-Trail originally had three models, all newly equipped with ProPILOT Super Smart Drive, making it the second model under Dongfeng Nissan, after the seventh-generation Teana, to feature this system. The system utilizes a front monocular camera, millimeter-wave radar, VDC vehicle dynamic control system, and six other control systems to monitor and recognize single-lane lane markings, enabling the vehicle to achieve full-speed intelligent cruise control, automatic start-stop, and steering control functions, thereby achieving true L2-level autonomous driving. 2. The X-Trail retains the powertrain of the current model, equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 114KW (154PS), while the 2.5L engine offers a maximum power of 138KW (186PS). In terms of the transmission system, both engines are paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
My 2014 Nissan X-Trail also experienced the issue of the window not rolling up, most likely caused by a malfunctioning window switch. The switch is located on the door armrest, and prolonged pressing can wear out or oxidize the internal contacts, leading to poor connection and failure to trigger the signal. Another common cause is a blown fuse—locate the corresponding window fuse in the car's fuse box, and if it's blown, simply replace it with a new one, which is both low-cost and quick. It could also be due to a faulty window motor, which is hidden inside the door. If it makes a buzzing sound but doesn't move, it’s likely burnt out and needs replacement. Additionally, water ingress or humid environments can cause short circuits or corrosion in the wiring, so check if the wiring connections are secure. For prevention, avoid operating the windows during rainy weather and regularly clean dirt from the gaps to reduce the chance of malfunctions. If a problem arises, stop the car immediately to avoid safety risks.
