Common Problems

The Nissan Serena’s automatic sliding doors are among the minivan’s most convenient features. Press a button, pull the exterior handle, tap the intelligent key, or—on suitably equipped versions—move your foot beneath the sensor, and the large sliding door should glide open like a curtain. Until…

The Nissan Serena Hybrid is the sort of family vehicle that makes everyday life feel easier. Its spacious cabin, sliding doors, flexible seating, and fuel-saving technology suit school runs, long holidays, airport transfers, and crowded city streets. It is practical without feeling like a delivery…

Cruise control is one of those features we tend to take for granted. When it works, it quietly makes long highway journeys more comfortable, reduces driver fatigue, and helps us maintain a steady speed. When it suddenly stops working, however, the change feels immediate. We…
