EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I HAVE HAD THE XENON HID HEADLIGHTS OF MY VEHICLE STOLEN THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I IMPLORE ANYONE EVEN CONSIDERING PURCHASING A 2002 OR 2003 MAXIMA TO RECONSIDER. THIS IS A MARKED CAR, AND MY ATTEMPTS TO GAIN THE MANUFACTURER'S ATTENTION HAVE FAILED. I HOPE IF THIEVES TAKE THE LIGHTS AGAIN, THAT THEY STEAL THE WHOLE CAR, AND RELIEVE ME OF THIS CURSE. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:ANTI-THEFT DEVICES, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, BACK OVER PREVENTION:WARNINGS:EXTERNAL/PEDESTRIAN ALERT
FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE FACTORY ALARM SYSTEM ALLOWS IT TO BE EASILY DISABLED. FLAW/DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF HID HEADLIGHTS IN THE 2002-03 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE LIGHTS ARE EASILY PRIED OFF THE CAR WITH A CROWBAR. CRIMINALS CAN STEAL THEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS. ANTI-THEFT KIT MADE AVAILABLE IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. ACCESS TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS GAINED WITH A SCREWDRIVER OR CROWBAR. RISK OF DRIVER INJURY IS INCREASED BECAUSE OF THIS. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
DUE TO NISSAN'S BAD DESIGN OF THE 2003 MAXIMA MODEL, THE XENON HID HEADLIGHTS COULD BE REMOVED FROM A LOCKED CAR WITHIN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER OF THE CAR IS AT RISK.*JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UNDER LOW LIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS SUCH AS EARLY MORNING OR AT DUSK, DURING RAIN, SNOW, OR HAZE, WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE REQUIRED FOR SAFE DRIVING, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAN BLEND WITH THE DIALS AND UNDER THE RIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS CAN BECOME UNREADABLE. I DROVE FOR OVER ONE HOUR ON ONE DAY AND COULD NOT DISTINGUISH MY SPEED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING IS POOR. I HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND SENT LETTERS BUT HAVE NOT YET HAD A RESPONSE. THE DEALER INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT THIS IS HOW THE PANEL WAS DESIGNED. AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED HIS WORK, I RECEIVED A VOICE MESSAGE FROM NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. I RETURNED THE CALL AND LEFT THEM A VOICE MESSAGE TO RETURN MY CALL. THEY NEVER DID, SO ON NOVEMBER 18, I SENT A LETTER WITH ATTACHMENTS TO MR SEMPLE, THE PRESIDENT OF NISSAN DESIGN AMERICA. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM OR ANY OF HIS STAFF. YESTERDAY, I MAILED A RESPONSE TO NISSAN ON A CUSTOMER SERVICE FORM THEY HAD SENT TO ME QUESTIONING HOW I WAS TREATED. I ADDRESSED A LETTER TO MR. BOSLEY WHO IS THE VP OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU A COPY OF ALL DOCUMENTS.
